Know the Hazards

POWER UNIT SWING

Be careful turning while traveling forks first.  The power
unit will swing wide in the opposite direction.  Make sure
you have clearance, and watch out for people in the area.

SLOW DOWN FOR SPILLS OR WET FLOORS

Powder or liquid spills can cause slippery floors.  Slow
down or you could lose control of steering and braking.
Be careful and allow for a longer stopping distance.

Don't run over objects on the floor.

Raising & Lowering

17   Raising & Lowering

RAISE/LOWER

Move the Raise/Lower lever away from the mast,
toward the control arm, to raise the forks.  Move the
lever toward the mast to lower the forks.

The farther you move the lever from neutral, the faster
the forks will move.

RAISE & LOWER PUSH BUTTONS

For convenience, single speed push buttons may be installed
on the control handle.  Push either the Raise or Lower
button until the forks are at the desired height.
