Item Function
13 Key Switch NOTE: There is no mechanical lockout that prevents the key switch from being
returned to the START position without first being returned to the OFF position.
However, the Vehicle System Manager (VSM) software prevents the starter motor
from being energized while the engine is running.
The key switch is located on the right side of the Display Switch Cluster. The key
switch has three positions:
No. 1 Position: OFF position. De-energizes all electric circuits except for the horn
and front and rear work lights.
No. 2 Position: ON position. Energizes all electric circuits except the starter circuit.
The key switch will be in this position during normal operation.
No. 3 Position: START position. Energizes the starter motor for starting the engine.
A spring returns the key to position No. 2 (ON position) when the key is released.
14 Foot Directional
Control Pedal
The Foot Directional Control pedal controls the speed and direction of the lift truck.
Pushing on the right side of the pedal causes the lift truck to move in reverse. Pushing
on the left side of the pedal causes the lift truck to move in forward. The speed of
the engine increases as the pedal is depressed. The reverse lights and the optional
reverse alarm will be on in the reverse position during normal operation.
