Optional Armrest   20

HYDRAULIC OPERATIONS CAN AFFECT STABILITY

Capacities shown on your capacity plate are for loads 

that are centered and level.  Be extra careful when 

tilting a load. (This also applies to accessories or 

attachments your truck may have such as sideshift, 

carton clamp, push-pull, etc.)

OPTIONAL ARMREST

Adjust the armrest so that you can fully operate the 

hydraulic levers.

Lift the Raise/Lower lever to pull up or 

push down the armrest. 
Lift the Forward/Back lever to slide the 

armrest forward or backward. 

Make certain the armrest locks into place. 

Note:  

Do not make any adjustments while operating  

the truck.

HORN

Your armrest is equipped with a horn button. Use it to 

warn pedestrians and other drivers.

Use your horn when you leave an aisle or come to a 

crosswalk or intersection.

LIFT AND TILT INTERLOCK

Lift and tilt interlock will limit raise if the mast is tilted  

forward beyond 2º. To continue raising, return the mast 

to vertical.

When the forks are elevated, mast forward tilt is limited.

Note:  

You must use full engine speed (with the inching/

brake pedal applied) to obtain maximum performance 

for any hydraulic operation.

For example: Pull the Raise/Lower lever toward 

you to raise the forks, as shown in the bottom 

symbol. Push the lever away from you to lower 

the forks.

HYDRAULIC LEVER OPERATION

Pull a lever toward you, away from the mast, and you'll 

get the action shown in the bottom symbol on the 

lever. Push the lever away from you, toward the mast, 

and you'll get the opposite action shown in the upper 

symbol.

The farther you move the lever from neutral, the faster  

the action will be.
