5.4 Electric Brake
Your stacker is equipped with an electric magnetic brake. The brake is applied when the handle is
in its vertical position between 10 – 15 degrees and lowered position between 80 – 90 degrees.
The brake could be released when you pull down the handle at any point between 15 – 80
degrees. Always make sure the brake is released before operating the stacker. When the stacker
is running, you could brake the stacker by raising the handle to its vertical position or lowering the
handle to its lowest position. Or, to turn the butterfly controls in the opposite direction, the change
in direction of the motor will slow down, stop, and reverse the direction of stacker. When parked,
the handle will spring back to the full vertical position with the brake applied and the forks in
lowered position.
5.5 Reversing Safety
At the end of the handle there is a large, red reversing bar (belly button switch) that is designed to
protect the operator from injury. When the operator runs the stacker backwards, and the end of the
handle comes in contact with the operator’s body, the stacker will automatically reverse direction
and travel away from the operator. When the reversing safety bar comes in contact with your body
during operation, immediately release your hands from the butterfly control and put the handle up
to its vertical position or down to its lowest position and the brake is on. The reversing safety bar
will automatically resume to its original position after being activated.
5.6 Horn
As standard equipment, a horn that is located on the top of the handle.
