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.

forks will stop at a selected height.

to scroll through the lift heights that have been
programmed into the truck. The message display will

with the label number for the height.
