Hyster H40-60XT, Operating Manual

Page: 66 / 180

CAUTION
The drive train can be damaged if the lift truck is travel-
ing too fast when the controls are changed to the
opposite direction of travel.
The operator can change the direction of travel at slow
travel speeds (less than a walking speed), but the mast
must not be in a raised position. If the lift truck is moving
rapidly, slow to a walking speed before changing the direc-
tion of travel.
Inching Control
WARNING
Inching requires coordinated movement of the inching/
brake pedal and the accelerator pedal. New operators
must practice this procedure before attempting to han-
dle loads.
Inching is the movement of a lift truck that allows a slow
travel speed while keeping the engine speed high for fast
operation of the lift mechanism or prevents rollback on an
incline.
A. FAST B. SLOW
The inching/brake pedal is used to control the inching oper-
ation. During operation as the inching/brake pedal is
applied, the clutch in the transmission gradually disen-
gages while the brakes engage.
