FORK FUNCTIONS

Standard fork functions include 
Raising and Lowering the forks, Tilt (up and down), 
and Reach (extend and retract).

Some optional fork functions your truck may be 
equipped with are Sideshift (right or left), Rack Height 
Select which allows the truck to be programmed so 
the forks will stop at selected heights, and Tilt Position 
Assist to tilt the forks to a programmed position.

RAISE/LOWER

Lift the multi-task handle up to raise the forks.  Push 
down on the handle to lower the forks. 

The farther you move the multi-task handle from 
neutral, the faster the forks will move.

RAISE CUTOUT OPTION

Your truck may be equipped with an automatic cutout 
to prevent you from raising the forks into restricted 
areas. 

If  raise  stops,  check  the  message  display.                                                                    
 

     will show on the display if 

you are at a raise cutout height. See page 18 for using 
the optional Raise Cutout Override Switch.  

Know the Hazards

CHECK THE PATH OF THE FORKS

Be just as careful raising the forks with the rack height 
select option as when using manual raise. Make certain 
the path of the forks is clear and free of obstacles.

Check that the forks are at the proper position to enter 
the pallet, or that the pallet will clear the rack beam.

RACK HEIGHT SELECT OPTION

This option allows a truck to be programmed so the 
forks will stop at a selected height.

1.  Press the UP or DOWN ARROW button until the 

message display shows                                    .   

2.  Select the RIGHT ARROW to enter rack select mode.

3.  Press the switch on the back of the multi-task 

handle to scroll through the lift heights that have 
been programmed into the truck. The message 
display will show the height in either millimeters or 
inches, along with the label number for the height.

Or, while raising or lowering, press and release the
switch to select the next programmed rack height.

4.  Make certain the path of the forks is clear. Lift and 

hold the multi-task handle. The forks will stop and 
there will be a one second beep when they reach 
the programmed height. Check to make certain the 
forks are at the correct position before entering the 
rack or pallet.
