2-4. TRAVEL.
2-4.1. Brake
The brake is fully applied by lowering or raising the
steering arm. (See
Figure 2-2 ) All travel control power
is shut off when the brake is engaged. When the steer-
ing arm is in the upright position, the brake acts as a
parking brake. Deadman braking occurs when the
handle is released and spring action raises steering
arm to the upright position.
2-4.2. Travel
Move the control arm to the travel position. The speed
control (See
Figure 2-3 ) located on each side of the
control head provides fingertip control for driving the
truck. Rotate the control in the direction you want to
travel. The farther you rotate the control from the neu-
tral position, the faster the truck will travel.
2-4.3. Belly-Button Switch
The belly-button switch ( Figure 2-3 ) minimizes the
possibility of the driver being pinned by the steering
arm while driving the lift truck in the walking position. If
the switch presses against the operator while the lift
truck is being driven toward the operator, the switch
changes the direction of the lift truck.
In an emergency, pull out battery connector, all electri-
cal functions are cut out and the truck automatically
brakes.
