This information is input for signal diagnostics.
This test is used to verify operation of direction
control lever.
Operation
This system can be basically operated in two
preselected modes, automatic mode and manual
mode.
Automatic mode
Direction Inhibit
1. Start the engine with the direction control lever
in NEUTRAL and the parking brake engaged.
2. Press down on the service brake pedal,
disengage the parking brake and move the
direction control lever to FORWARD.
Release the parking brake before using the
directional control lever.
3. Observe the LED on the Auto Shift Controller.
The LED should indicate "A" while the direction
control lever is in FORWARD, NEUTRAL and
REVERSE. Report Auto Shift as faulty if the
LED indicates anything other than "A".
4. Keep the service brake pushed down until ready
to move the truck.
5. To change directions of a traveling lift truck
when the Auto Shift Controller LED displays "A",
shift the direction control lever to the opposite
direction and wait for the lift truck to change
direction.
6. If however, your travel speed is higher than the
pre-selected direction change speed as direction
inhibit point in the controller, Auto Shift will shift
the transmission to NEUTRAL until the lift truck's
travel speed slows to the pre-selected direction
change speed, and then shift the transmission to
the direction selected.
7. You should be prepared to help slow the lift
truck to the pre-selected direction change speed
by pressing down on the service brake pedal.
WARNING
When you want to change the travel direction,
you must press down on the service brake pedal
to reduce the travel speed. Be cautious that the
lift truck's stopping distance may be longer than
in manual mode because the lift truck continues
to travel forward regardless of the selection of
reverse with the direction control lever until the
vehicle speed is sufficiently reduced.
