Item Function
c Speed/Direction Control The speed/direction control is for selecting forward or reverse movement
and the travel speed of the lift truck. The control automatically returns to the
OFF position when released. The operator controls the speed and direction
of travel by rotating the control in the desired direction. Maximum rotation of
the control causes maximum travel speed. To stop or change direction, the
operator rotates the control in the opposite direction. The lift truck will come
to a stop. If the speed/direction control is not returned to OFF, when the lift
truck stops, it will accelerate in the opposite direction. Changing direction
with the speed/direction control is called plugging. Arrows on the control
indicate the direction of travel.
