from
N
to the direction of travel that the direction control
switch or MONOTROL® pedal was in when the operator
left the lift truck. To resume travel, if the lift truck is equip-
ped with a manual parking brake, release the brake; if the
lift truck is equipped with an automatic parking brake, press
the service brake pedal. Then press the accelerator or
MONOTROL® pedal.
Optional Operator Presence System
WARNING
ALWAYS make sure the parking brake is fully applied
before leaving the lift truck. If the operator leaves the
lift truck without applying the parking brake, a seat
activated switch will cut off all electrical and hydraulic
power to the lift truck.
The lift trucks covered in this manual are equipped with an
Operator Presence System (OPS). The OPS feature has
an electrical sensor switch in the seat which senses the
presence of the operator. The OPS is designed with slight
delay in the seat switch to allow the operator to reposition
himself without disabling traction and mast hydraulic func-
tions.
The operator must be on the seat and the seat belt must be
fastened before turning the key or keyless switch
ON
to
provide power to the lift truck. If the operator leaves the
seat while the truck is moving, or does not apply the park-
ing brake before getting off the seat, the seat switch will cut
off power to the lift truck.
For lift trucks equipped with a manual parking brake, when
the operator returns to the seat, if it was not set, the park-
ing brake must be applied and released.
Lift Trucks with Software Versions 4.32 and Greater
If the lift truck is equipped with a direction control switch or
MONOTROL® pedal and the operator leaves the seat with-
out engaging the parking brake, the
N
indicator light on the
LCD screen will illuminate regardless of the position of the
direction control switch or MONOTROL® pedal. When the
operator returns to the seat, the indicator light will change
from
N
to the direction of travel that the direction control
switch or MONOTROL® pedal was in when the operator
left the lift truck. To resume travel, if the lift truck is equip-
ped with a manual parking brake, release the brake; if the
lift truck is equipped with an automatic parking brake, press
the service brake pedal. Then press the accelerator or
MONOTROL® pedal.
