The truck is equipped with a static-return-to-neutral function. If the control handle is held in
its working range (M) when the truck is turned on, the travel function will not operate. The
control handle must then be briefly returned to either end position and then moved back into
its working range to enable travel.
Switching the truck off
To turn the truck off, remove the key from its slot.
The indicator unit display will turn off.
Driving, steering, braking
Driving
Operators must be familiar with all safety procedures
that apply to forklift operation before driving. Read and
understand all safety information in Section 2 before
operating the truck.
Tilt the control shaft into the driving range (M) and
set the controller to the desired direction (V or R).
Steering
Steering the truck is done using the control handle. Manually moving it to the left or right will
swivel the drive wheel. The truck then turns in forward or reverse according to the handle
direction.
Emergency stop
Push the emergency stop switch. (For EPT20-15EHJ/EPT18-EHJ Pull out emergency stop
plug).All of the electrical functions are switched off.
Braking
The braking behaviour of the truck strongly depends on the state of the floor. This must be
taken into account by the driver for his driving behaviour.
The truck can be braked in three ways:
by using the generator brake (controller)
by counter-current braking (controller)
by using the service brake (control shaft)
Braking using the generator brake:
Release the drive switch.
