Steering
Moving the control handle (which con-
nects to the steering arm) right or left
will turn the truck right or left. When
maneuvering around corners, make
square turns and be sure there is ade-
quate clearance.
Stopping
Stop the truck as gradually as possi-
ble. Unnecessary rapid stopping could
be hazardous. Load could become
unstable.
To stop the truck’s movement (forward
or reverse), raise the control handle to
the up position or push the control
handle all the way down. In both posi-
tions, the brake will apply. To release
the brake, just move the control han-
dle to the operating position.
NOTE: The steering arm gas spring
automatically raises the steer-
ing arm to the upright position
when the steering arm is
released.
CAUTION: If the control handle does
not raise immediately to
the vertical position when
released, the truck should
be placed “OUT OF SER-
VICE” until it can be
inspected by a qualified
service technician.
Parking

obstruct traffic lanes or aisles.
1. Park the truck in its designated
parking area.

vertical to apply parking brake.

Load Handling
Handle only loads arranged for
stability and always use cau-
tion. Raise and lower the load
smoothly to prevent the load
from falling.
Always be sure the load and
load center are within the
capacity of the truck. If in doubt
check the nameplate.
1. Approach the load slowly.
2. Move the truck slowly into position
so that the forks are within pallet or
skid, and the load is centered over
the forks and as far back as pos-
sible.
3. Push the button to raise the forks
and lift the load.
