Operating Your Truck
CAUTION
When operating a rider truck, always bring the truck to a
complete stop before getting on or off.
Pushing the control handle to the UP position or pulling the control handle
to the DOWN position applies the electromagnetic (EM) brake and shuts
off the drive motor.
Lowering the control handle to the operating position disengages the brake.
To stop the truck during operation, release the travel control and push the
control handle to the UP position to apply the EM brake. This will bring the
truck to a smooth, controlled stop.
You can change direction and stop the truck without braking, by "plugging".
As you are traveling, move the travel control to the opposite direction. The
truck should slow to a smooth, controlled stop and then accelerate in the
opposite direction.
You can control the plugging distance with the travel control (direction/
speed). The further the direction speed control is rotated, the shorter the
reversal distance.
CAUTION
Use care when plugging. Any sudden change of direction
can cause the load to shift or fall off the forks.
