GIVE YOUR BODY A BREAK

Take advantage of stop time.  Flex your arms and legs.

Staying alert will help you be a better and safer driver.

FORK FUNCTIONS, STANDARD AND OPTIONAL

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 are standard on the SR

model. Your company may select other options as needed

in your work area, and should train you how to use them.

HOW TO DRIVE YOUR TRUCK

Your truck is equipped with a multi-adjustable seat.

You drive your truck by sitting sideways and leaning back

into the seat.  This, along with your hands on the controls

and feet on the pedals or floorboard, gives you stability.

The controls are located so you can vary your body

position for best comfort and visibility.
