1-2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION.
The self-propelled
BGL-22
truck, Figure 1-2 , lifts
and transports payloads up to 2200 pounds on
adjustable forks.
The forward and reverse motion is controlled by either
of two controller levers mounted on the control head.
Stopping and turning is controlled by the steering arm.
Lift, Lower and Tilt are controlled by pushbuttons on
the control head. The battery powered lift truck is quiet
and without exhaust fumes.
The reversible AC motor propels the lift truck in for-
ward or reverse direction throughout the available
speed range. The
BGL-22
lift truck can be driven
with forks raised or lowered; however, the
speed is restricted when the platform is raised
above a preset limit.
The model number will be found on the name plate
( Figure 1-1 ) along with the serial number, lifting capac-
ity, and load center. Figure 1-2 shows the locations of
the truck’s main components and controls.
