OPERATING CONTROLS AND FUNCTIONS
STEERHEAD AND TILLER ASSEMBLY (cont’d)
ROTARY THUmb CONTROLS
These controls are on either side of the steerhead and control the
speed and direction of the unit. Rotating these controls will cause the
unit to move in the direction of rotation. The amount of rotation you
apply to either control determines the speed of the unit.
• Controlled reversing can be performed during normal
operating conditions to slow down and/or stop an electric
powered industrial truck. To activate controlled reversing
simply rotate the rotary thumb control from one direction
of travel to the opposite direction. The unit should come to
a smooth stop. If the operator should continue to hold the
rotary thumb control in the changed direction, the unit will
begin to accelerate in that new direction. The unit has a de-
acceleration mode. This means that any time the operator
releases the thumb control the unit will begin to slow down
automatically.
STEER TILLER
The steerhead is connected to the steer tiller. The tiller controls steering
direction and brakes.
