2-4. GENERAL CONTROL OPERATION.
The speed control (See Figure 2-3 ) located on each
side of the control head provides fingertip control for
driving the truck. Rotate the control in the direction you
want to travel. The farther you rotate the control from
the neutral position, the faster the truck will travel.
Figure 2-3. Forward/Reverse Control
The pushbutton switches (See Figure 2-4 ), located on
the front of the control head activate the lift-lower con-
trols and the horn.
Figure 2-4. Pushbutton Switches
The brake is fully applied by lowering or raising the
steering arm. (See
Figure 2-5 ) All traction control
power is shut off when the brake is engaged. When
the steering arm is in the upright position, the brake
acts as a parking brake. Deadman braking occurs
when the handle is released and spring action raises
steering arm to the upright position.

2-5. DRIVING AND STOPPING PROCEDURES.
1. Connect the batteries and turn on the key switch.
Grasp the grips of the steering head so that the
speed control can be comfortably operated by
either thumb.
2. Lower the steering arm to a comfortable position
above horizontal to disengage the brake and to
energize the electrical circuits. If the truck is not
moved, the electrical circuits will time out and will
deenergize. See
Figure 2-5 .
3. To move forward (with load in front), slowly press
the speed control forward. See
Figure 2-3 . Press
the forward speed control farther to increase
speed.
4. To slow down or stop, release the speed control
and lower or raise the steering arm to the horizon-
tal or vertical position. See
Figure 2-5 . In those
positions, the brake engages, slowing or stopping
the truck.
5. Procedures for movement in reverse are the
same as in the forward direction except slowly
press the speed control backward. See
Figure 2-
3 .
2-6. BELLY-BUTTON SWITCH.
The belly-button switch ( Figure 2-6 ) minimizes the
possibility of the driver being pinned by the steering
arm while driving the lift truck in slow speed. If the
switch presses against the operator while the lift truck
is being driven toward the operator, the switch
changes the direction of the lift truck.
