Driving on Wire Guidance

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.

POWER UNIT FIRST

Drive slowly over the wire at an angle of 20° or less.

When you hear a "beep" and the red light turns off,

the truck takes control of steering. 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 red light turns off.
Continue to drive slowly for two truck lengths before

resuming normal guided driving.
