1.Driving

• apply the drive pedal (5).
2.Steering
Use steering wheel (4) to steer the truck in the required direction.The drive wheel
position is indicated in the driver’s display.
3.Braking
The brake pattern of the truck depends largely on the ground conditions. The driver
must take this into account when operating the truck.
The driver must be looking ahead when travelling. If there is no hazard, brake
moderately to avoid moving the load .
The truck can brake in four different ways:
• with the reversing brake
• with the coasting brake
• with the emergency brake
• with the service brake
• With the reversing brake
While the truck is travelling press the travel switch (3). It switches to the opposite
travel direction and the truck decelerates through the traction current controller until it
starts to move in the opposite direction.
• With the coasting brake
Not apply the drive pedal (5): Travel
inhibited, truck decelerates.
• With the emergency brake
Press the emergency brake switch（1）.
The truck brakes until it comes to a halt.
Warning!
This method of braking only acts as a
parking brake and not as a service brake.
Warning!
The emergency brake switch (1) must
only be used in dangerous situations.
Warning!
• The truck can only be moved with or without a load when the mast support
is retracted, the mast tilted back and the load handler lowered.
• You should only travel in the load direction (R) for shunting and lifting or
depositing a load.
