Direction Lever (10). (See Operation Section, starting
on page 18).
Item 12 - Service Brake Pedal
Depressing this pedal applies the service brakes at
the rear wheels. To prevent misuse, an incorporated
switch disables traction when this pedal is
depressed. (See
Starting on a Gradient page 20 ).
Item 13 - Parking Brake Lever
Pull this lever upwards to apply the parking brake.
Push the button on the end of the lever to release. A
switch is incorporated in the lever to prevent steering
and traction when the brake is applied. (See
Starting
on a Gradient, page 20).
Item 14 - Horn Button
The Horn Button is fitted to the front electrical cover
above the Parking Brake Lever. Pressing the button
will sound the horn. An additional horn button is
located to the Left side of the footplate for easier use
when reversing.
Item 15 - Lift Lever
Pull the lever to raise the forks. Push the lever to
lower the forks.
Item 16 - Mast Tilt Lever
Pull the lever to tilt the mast backwards. Push the
lever to tilt the mast forwards past the vertical.
(See page 18 for full details of use of the tilt function).
Item 17 - Side Shift Lever
This lever controls the sideways movement of the
forks for minor positioning adjustments. Pull the
lever back to move the forks to the right, push the
lever forwards to move the forks to the left. Always
centralise the forks when travelling.
Item 18 - Work Lights
Work lights are added to provide additional
illumination. A switch is fitted on the seat pan to the
left of the operator to turn the lights on/off.
Item 19 - Flashing Beacon
This is fixed to the top of the overhead guard to warn
pedestrians and other drivers that the truck is
operational. The light is switched on automatically by
the Key Switch (8).
Blue Point Warning Light
This is fitted to project a blue spot of light on the floor
either behind or in front of the truck to warn
pedestrians.
WARNING
When illuminated, do not look directly into the light for
extended periods. This is not deemed to be
dangerous as the natural instinct is to close the eyes
or look away.
Options
A weatherproof cab may be fitted consisting of a rigid
front windscreen, and a flexible fabric cover around
the sides, top and rear.
Windscreen Wiper (Optional) - Not Shown
This is activated by a switch on the rear of the
windscreen wiper motor cover.
CAUTION
Do not operate the windscreen wiper when the
windscreen is dry. Permanent marking of the
surface will result.
Height Override Switch (Optional) - Not Shown
When the forks reach a predetermined height the
hydraulic functions are disabled to prevent overhead
collisions. To operate the hydraulic functions further
it is necessary to turn the height override key switch
to the 'ON' position (or operate the push button) then
operate
the appropriate lever. In these
circumstances the operator must take care to avoid
colliding
with lights, roof trusses or other
obstructions.
Turning the height override key switch to the 'ON'
position below height cut-out will result in the loss of
all hydraulic functions.
Item 20 – Seat Latch
This latch retains the seat pan and prevents it rising
inadvertently. To release the latch, remove the
battery lid and reach under the seat pan, to locate the
circular handle. Pull this to allow the latch to
disengage and tilt the seat back a small amount.
Withdraw your hand before tilting the seat further.
The latch engages automatically when the seat is
lowered.
