OPERATING THE TRUCK
Startup procedure
1. Find the choke and throttle controls for the motor. Apply the engine startup procedure in the motor manufacturer’s
instruction manual.
2. Squeeze the kill switch against the handle with one hand. Pull the engine starter cord with the other hand.
3. After the engine starts, set the choke switch to the open position and allow the engine to warm up for a few
minutes.
4. Set the engine throttle to the desired speed: increasing the throttle increases the speed and vice versa.
Propulsion (Driving the Truck)
a. To move forward, squeeze the right side of the direction control lever towards the top of the handle. The further the
lever is moved the faster the unit moves. Release the lever to stop.
b. To move in reverse, squeeze the left side of the lever towards the top of the handle.
c. Practice shifting between forward and reverse.
NOTE:
Do not quickly shift from forward to reverse or vice versa. Sudden shifts can damage the transaxle.
d. When moving heavy loads, i.e. loads close to the unit’s capacity, drive slowly. Driving slowly decreases the load on
the engine.
Steering
Steer the unit by swinging the handle to one side or the other. While turning, the rpm’s of the outer drive wheel
increase and the rpm’s of the inner drive wheel decrease. When turning sharply in one direction or the other, the
difference between rpm’s of the wheels is greater (i.e. the outer wheel turns much faster than the inner wheel).
FORK CARRIAGE CONTROLS
A. Raising and lowering the carriage
1.
Raise the forks: (continues on following page)
a. Grasp the knob of the fork carriage control lever and push it forward i.e. away from you/towards the truck.
The hydraulic cylinder extends and causes the carriage to rise.
