Fork Functions
25 Fork Functions
RAISE CUTOUT OPTION
Your truck may be equipped with an automatic cutout
to prevent you from raising the forks into restricted areas.
See page 20 for using the optional Raise Cutout Override
Switch.
Caution:
Make certain the forks, load and load backrest
will clear all overhead obstructions.
FORK FUNCTIONS
Standard fork functions include:
Raising and Lowering the forks, Tilt (fork tips up or down),
Reach (extend or retract the mast), Sideshift (right or
left), and Rack Height Select which allows the truck to
be programmed so the forks will stop at selected heights.
Your company may select additional optional fork
functions for your truck.

RACK HEIGHT SELECT OPTION
This option allows a truck to be programed so the forks will stop at a
selected height.
Your employer will instruct you how to use the service and option
buttons to access this option. A PIN may be required.
Make certain the path of the forks is clear. Pull the raise/lower lever
toward you. 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.
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.
WATCH OUT FOR THE MOVING MAST
Any part of a body caught between the moving mast
and the truck could be pinned or crushed.
Stay completely out of this area at all times. Never allow
anyone else to be in this area.
RAISE/LOWER
Pull the raise/lower lever toward you to raise the forks.
Push the lever away from you to lower the forks.
The farther you move the lever away from neutral, in
either direction, the faster the forks will move.

Moving mast can pin or crush
