Driving
Drive switch
The drive direction and speed are selected
through decisive movement of the driving
operating lever (2). When the drive switch
is moved in the opposite direction, you can
change directly from one drive direction to
another. The electronically controlled braking
and the subsequent acceleration are referred
to as reversing. This initiates electronically
controlled braking and then acceleration
in the opposite direction. In this case, no
brake friction pads are used. This form of
braking can be metered precisely through the
movement of the driving operating lever. If the
operating lever is released at the same time
as the drive direction is reversed, the industrial
truck remains stationary. As a rule, reversing
should be used as the service brake for regular
tasks.
Depending on the technical version of the
industrial truck, the barriers* of the drivers
cab may be left open when the truck is being
driven, up to a cab lift height of:
• 0.4 m for industrial trucks with simplex mast
and auxiliary lift
• 1.2 m for industrial trucks with speed
optimisation* (only available in conjunction
with telescopic masts)
*Option
Handhold sensor
A sensor is integrated into the handhold next
to the operating lever which detects contact
with the driver’s hand. In order to obtain a
drive enable status, the foot switch must be
actuated and contact must be made with the
handhold sensor.
