Traveling
There is one control for changing speed or direction and for
normal stopping of the lift truck. The control is the speed/
direction control. The control is spring loaded to the OFF
position. The control is designed to be operated by either
hand. Rotate the control in the desired direction of travel.
Maximum rotation of the control causes maximum travel
speed.
To change direction or to stop the lift truck (regardless of lift
truck speed), rotate the control in the opposite direction.
The lift truck will come to a stop and then, unless the con-
trol is returned to the OFF position, accelerate in the oppo-
site direction. This is called plugging. Stop the lift truck as
gradually as possible. Rapid starting and stopping can be
dangerous as well as unnecessary.
Steering
Turn the lift truck to the right or left by moving the control
handle or delivery handle in the desired direction. Make
sure there is adequate turning clearance. When traveling in
reverse (forks first) the lift truck will move to the side when
turning. This movement is called tailswing. The operator
must be aware of tailswing and always check to make sure
the tailswing area is clear before turning.
Turning
Slow the lift truck before turning into an aisle. Drive forward
(control handle or delivery handle leading) for best visibility
and easiest handling. As the forks clear a corner, turn the
control handle or delivery handle. Entering an aisle requires
