OPERATING THE B40I4 FORKLIFT
4-5
Figure 4-4: Operator Controls
Direction Control Lever
The direction lever is located near the front of the
armrest. See Figure 4-4.
Push the lever away from you for forward travel and pull it
toward you for rearward travel. The lever may be moved
while the truck is in motion “known as “brake by
plugging”. The motor will automatically come to a smooth
stop and then reverse direction.
Placing the lever in neutral while traveling will bring the
vehicle to a quick stop. While in neutral you may notice
possible slight movement to the left and right. This does
not effect the performance of the lift in any way.
Lift Lever
The first lever (closest to the operator) near the front of
the armrest is the lift lever. See Figure 4-4.
Pull it back to lift the forks and push it forward to lower the
forks.
Tilt Lever
The second lever on the front of the armrest is the tilt
lever. See Figure 4-4. Visual indicators on both sides of
the mast are provided so you can easily determine the
number of degrees the mast is tilted.
Pull it back for backward tilt and push it forward for
forward tilt.
Side Shift Lever
The third lever, away from the operator, near the front of
the armrest, is the side shift lever. See Figure 4-4.
Side shift is a standard function on Bendi B40i4 forklifts.
Pull it back to shift to the right; push it forward to shift to
the left.
Horn
The horn is located on the armrest. See Figure 4-4.
Depress the button to sound the horn.
Seat Switch
A seat switch, built into the seat, tells the vehicle master
controller when you are in the operator’s seat. Traction
operations will shut down after a small delay if the seat
switch opens, signaling that you are not in the operator’s
seat.
Seat Belt
The driver’s seat belt must always be worn while driving a
forklift truck.
1. Sit up straight in the driver’s seat.
2. Pull the belt across you. Do not let the belt twist. The
belt may lock if you pull it across to quickly or stop too
soon. If this happens, let the belt go back slightly to
unlock it, then pull the belt across slowly.

WARNING
3. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks. Pull
up on the latch plate to make sure it is secure. If the
belt stops before reaching the buckle, let it go back all
the way, then start again.
4. The lap part of the belt must be worn low and snug
on the hips, just touching the thighs.
A twisted belt can seriously injure you. In a crash
or a tip-over, the full width of the belt is required
to absorb the impact forces.
