HYDRAULIC LEVER OPERATION

Pull the lever toward you, away from the mast, and you'll
get the action shown by the symbol in the top of the lever.
Push the lever away from you, toward the mast, and you'll
get the opposite action.

The farther you move the handle from neutral, the faster
the action will be.

For example:  Pull the Raise/Lower lever toward
you to raise the forks, as shown by the symbol.
Push the lever away from you to lower the forks.

Note:

  The left side of each lever has a different shape, to

help you identify the lever by feel.

KEY SWITCH

• Turn the key clockwise to TEST (yellow dot).

Make certain the parking brake alarm is working.

• Let go of the key and it will return to ON (green dot).

• Turn key counterclockwise to OFF (red dot) to shut the

truck off.  Always turn key to OFF when leaving truck.

POWER DISCONNECT

Pull the battery connector up to disconnect the battery and
cut power to the truck.

Always disconnect the battery if the truck isn't working
right.  Don't use the truck, and report the problem to your
supervisor.

HYDRAULIC OPERATIONS CAN AFFECT STABILITY

Capacities shown on your capacity plate are with the mast
vertical.  Be extra careful when tilting a load.  (This also
applies to other accessories or attachments your truck may
have, such as sideshift, carton clamp,  push-pull, etc.)
