WARNING
Watch the road carefully for any obstacle when
driving the truck. Do not go fast over bumps, pot
holes or other rough grounds, otherwise the
engine might go OFF by a severe impact.
In case of engine going OFF, press the brake
pedal at one time as hard as possible in order to
stop the truck. Pressing the brake pedal several
times has a risk that the brake would not work.
Typical Example
13. To stop the lift truck when travelling in either
direction, RELEASE accelerator pedal (1).
14. PUSH DOWN on service foot brake pedal (2)
and bring the lift truck to a smooth stop.
Inching
NOTE: The purpose of the inching pedal is to
provide precise lift truck inching control at
very slow travel speed and high engine rpm.
This is used for fast hydraulic lift during load
approach, pick up or load positioning.
Typical Example
1. To inch (creep) in either direction, slowly push
down on the inching pedal. This will start to
apply the service foot brakes and allow the
transmission clutch discs to slip.
2. Vary the position of inching pedal and the
accelerator pedal to control the inching speed
and distance.
3. Pushing down further on the inching pedal will
disengage the transmission completely and
apply the service brakes fully to stop and hold
the lift truck. This will provide full engine power
for fast hydraulic lift.
4. Avoid overuse of the inching pedal as this may
cause the automatic transmission oil to overheat
or the clutch to slip. Do not use as a footrest or
for long periods of time.
5. If user operates continuously pushing work or
both brake pedal and accelerator pedal were
depressed at the same time, it may cause the
automatic transmission oil to overheat or the
clutch to slip.
