2-5. BELLY-BUTTON SWITCH GUARD.
The belly-button switch guard minimizes the possibility
of the driver being pinned by the steering arm while
driving the lift truck in reverse. If the guard presses
against the driver while the lift truck is being driven in
reverse, the guard actuates a switch which changes
the direction of the lift truck to forward direction in low
speed.
2-6. STEERING ARM RETURN SPRING.
The steering arm return spring automatically raises the
steering arm to the upright position when the steering
arm is released. If the steering arm snaps up abruptly,
or does not return fully, the steering arm return spring
requires adjustment. Return truck to maintenance
group for adjustment.
