21  Traveling & Plugging

TRAVEL

Move the Forward/Reverse rocker.
in the direction you want to travel. 

The farther you move the rocker from the neutral
position, the faster the truck will move.

HIGH TRAVEL SPEED

For high travel speed, turn the travel speed switch to 
the high speed position (      ), and move the Forward/
Reverse rocker to the maximum travel speed position. 

Steering performance is set at 60˚ each way of center 
for smooth operation at higher speeds.

MANEUVERING SPEED

For maneuvering and traveling in congested areas, turn 
the travel speed switch to the low speed position (     ).

The display message panel will show                        . 

90˚ of steering each way of center is available for 
maneuvering in confi ned areas.

PLUGGING

Plugging is another way to slow down your truck.
While the truck is moving, in either direction, move 
either Forward/Reverse rocker through neutral to the 
opposite direction of travel.

Plugging will not hurt your truck.  

Know the Hazards

WATCH YOUR FEET AND HANDS

• While riding, keep your feet on the platform and   
  hands on the controls at all times. This truck weighs  
  over 4535kg (10,000 lbs.) You can not stop or even  
  slow it down with your foot, hand or any part of your  
  body, no matter how slow the truck is moving.  
 

LOOK WHERE YOU'RE GOING

• Don’t use cell phones or similar devices while
  operating the truck. 
• Travel in the direction where you have the best visibility.
• Always be alert to the area around you and watch  
  where you are driving.

• Any part of your body caught between the truck or
  load, and any fi xed object, can be crushed. 
• You could also be seriously injured by objects 
  intruding or poking into the operator area.
• Don’t put hands or arms over the backrest.   

BRAKING VS. PLUGGING

Of the two, braking is designed to stop the truck in the
shortest distance. Use braking in an emergency, on
ramps or in busy areas.

HORN

Push the switch on the underside of either grip to 
sound the horn. Use it to warn pedestrians and other 
drivers.

Use your horn when you come to an intersection or a
crosswalk.
