23  Traveling & Plugging

TRAVEL, POWER UNIT FIRST

Pull the multi-task handle toward you to 

travel in the direction of the power unit 

(power unit first).

 The farther you pull the handle from the 

neutral position, the faster the truck will 

travel.

TRAVEL, FORKS FIRST

  Push the multi-task handle away from you 

to travel in the direction of the forks 

(forks first).
The farther you push the handle from the 

neutral position, the faster the truck will 

travel.

PLUGGING

  Plugging is another way to slow down or 

stop your truck.  
While the truck is moving, in either 

direction, pull or push the multi-task 

handle through neutral to the opposite 

direction of travel.
Plugging will not hurt your truck.

PLUGGING VS. BRAKING

Of the two, the foot brake is designed to stop the 

truck in the shortest distance. Use the foot brake in an 

emergency, on ramps or in busy areas.

HORN

Press the button on the multi-task handle to sound  

the horn. Use it to warn pedestrians and other drivers.

Use your horn when you come to an intersection or a 

crosswalk.
