Steering & Travel

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.
Keep your hands and feet in the operator 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.

STEERING

You control steering by moving the control handle from side to side.

For example:  This picture shows the directions the truck can turn when

the control handle is moved to the approximate position shown.
