4.2.2 Belly Button Configuration
A Belly Button is a safety feature used on pallet trucks, floorcare machines etc., which prevents the operator being trapped
between the machine and obstructions such as walls when reversing. It is normally a protruding switch, which is mounted on the
control handle / vehicle body at waist height and is automatically depressed by the operator’s body as the machine reverses
against the obstruction. Once actuated, the machine instantly stops reversing and automatically drives forward away from the
obstruction at a set speed until the button is released.
It is the responsibility of the machine manufacturer to ensure the mechanical arrangement of the
Belly Button is suitable for the intended application. PGDT accepts no liability for losses of any
kind arising from the incorrect mechanical arrangement of the Belly Button or the type of Belly
Button switch used.
