MULTI-FUNCTION HANDLE
TRAVEL CONTROL
Pushing the control handle toward the forks makes the lift truck travel
forward. To change direction, move the multi-function handle in the
opposite direction the lift truck is traveling, regardless of travel speed.
The lift truck will come to a stop, then accelerate in the opposite
direction. This control is proportional; therefore, the farther the control
handle is pushed, the faster the lift truck will accelerate or decelerate.
If the multi-functional handle is released, it will return to neutral and the
truck will slow down to a stop.
The multi-functional handle also controls the direction and speed at
which the carriage moves vertically on the mast.
There are additional control buttons that control the reach.
OPERATING CONTROLS AND FUNCTIONS
LIFT/LOWER
(Lift/Lower) is activated by moving the entire control handle towards the
left or right side of the truck. To control lift speed pull the multifunction
control handle towards the operator. To lower the mast push the
control handle away from the operator. Lift and lower speeds are
proportional to the movement of the control handle. The more the
control handle is moved, the faster the Lift/ Lower speed.
It is not a recommended practice to lift loads or mast while traveling. Lift
Speed will reduce when traveling a high speed.
This unit was not designed to transport or lift any person(s).
CAUTION
!
• Control of lifting and lowering speed: For both lifting and
lowering, the speed can be changed by manually controlling
the angle of the lever.
TILT AND SIDESHIFT CONTROL
The Tilt/Sideshift Control, located at the top
of the multi-function handle lever, controls
the tilting of the forks and side-shifting of
the carriage. The control toggle is operated
with the thumb of the right hand.
To tilt the carriage forward, press to the top
of the control handle. To tilt the carriage
back, press to the bottom of the control.
On lift trucks equipped with a side-shifting
carriage, press the top of the control toggle
to move the carriage to the left. To sideshift
right press the bottom. Tilt and sideshift are single speed functions.
