Fork automatic leveling switch
If changing mast tilting from backward to forward
while pressing this switch, the mast will be stopped
automatically when the forks is level. This switch can
be also used to slow down the backward tilt speed at a
low lift.
Automatic fork leveling control
When the forks are tilted backward, use the tilt lever to
tilt the mast forward while pressing the forks automatic
leveling switch to stop the mast automatically when
the forks are horizontal. This feature is convenient
when inserting and withdrawing the forks while stack-
ing.

Automatic height control (OPT)
Note:
• Automatic height control is part of the Height
selector option.
• This feature requires the setting of favorite height
positions. See “Height Selector”.
With the lift lever set to neutral, briefly press the
switch 1-2-3 times to select the favorite position (from
lower to higher). A fourth push will restore the normal
lifting function.
Activating this feature forbids the forks to raise over
the favorite height set. Attempts to raise the forks over
the limit will cause a buzzer to sound.
Note:
• Activating this feature while forks are already over
the favorite height, will allow only lowering move-
ment until the parameter set is reached.
• When the Height Limiter is ON, favorite height
positions over the limit set aren’t available.
• In joystick models, the height selector switch is dis-
abled during tilting operations.
• Lift-blocking devices (such as the OPS system)
will turn OFF the Automatic height control
• On joystick models, favorite height can’t be
selected during tilting operations. Doing so acti-
vates the auto-leveling function.
