Know the Hazards
STAY ALERT
You must be just as careful and alert while driving on
guidance as you are when driving with manual steering.
• Start slowly and look where you're going.
• Always be prepared to steer manually.
• Don't run over things or drive through spills.
• Make sure there is nothing in your path, on the floor or
sticking out of the racks.
LISTEN FOR THE "BEEP", CHECK THE DISPLAY
• Take control of the steering any time the red light is on
and check the display for instructions.
WHEN DRIVING ON THE WIRE
• Watch where you're going. Make sure your path is
clear.
• Always be alert for "beeps" from the alarm or changes
in the display that signal changes in guidance status.
• Drive slowly after changing direction of travel until you
are certain the truck is following the wire.
CHECK THE DISPLAY FOR INFORMATION
If you hear a "beep" while you are driving, or your truck
stops unexpectedly, check the display for instructions
(see page 18).

POWER UNIT FIRST
Drive slowly over the wire at an angle of 20˚ or less.
When you hear a "beep" and the display shows
begin normal guided driving. Start slowly.
FORKS FIRST
If you must acquire the wire while traveling forks first:
• Drive slowly along the wire (no angle allowed) until
you hear a "beep" and the display shows
• Continue to drive slowly for two truck lengths before
resuming normal guided driving.
ACQUIRING THE WIRE
Push the Wire Guidance switch to ON
as you near a guided aisle. Drive slowly with the
platform about 300mm (12 inches) above the floor, and
center the truck over the wire. Your direction of travel
(power unit first or forks first) controls how you should
approach the guidance wire.
Note:
Power unit first is the recommended direction of
travel for acquiring the wire.
FOR MANUAL STEERING
Take control of the steering wheel and push the Wire
Guidance switch to OFF.
