Warning
Do not adjust the steering column when the truck is in operation.
Stop the truck and apply the park brake before adjusting.
Adjusting the Steering Column
To adjust the angle of the steering column, loosen the angle adjustment handle
on the right hand side of the column by turning the handle anticlockwise.
Adjust the steering column so that the wheel can be reached comfortably when
sitting in the seat with your back against the seat backrest. See ‘Seat
Adjustments’.
Lock the steering column in position by turning the handle clockwise until tight.
Accelerator Pedal
The accelerator pedal is mounted on the floor of the
operating enclosure to the right hand side of the
steering column as shown highlighted in green in the
adjacent diagram.
The accelerator pedal provides control of the engine
speed (RPM) and therefore of the trucks travel speed.
To increase travel speed press down on the pedal.
Inch/Brake Pedal
The inch/brake pedal is mounted on the floor of the
operating enclosure to the left hand side of the steering
column as shown highlighted in red in the adjacent
diagram.
The inch/brake pedal allows precise control of the travel
speed which is invaluable when positioning the truck to
lift or place a load or when operating in confined areas.
When fully pressed down it blocks the flow of oil through
the hydrostatic drive system bringing the truck to a
smooth controlled halt.
When partially pressed down it restricts the flow of oil through the hydrostatic
drive system thus reducing the travel speed.
Press the pedal down gradually to reduce the travel speed gradually.
Release the pedal gradually to increase the travel speed gradually.
