PARKING BRAKE OFF

Move the parking brake lever away from the control

handle.
When you let go of the control handle the truck will coast.

this feature allows the truck to coast, to make it easier

to pick loads while walking alongside.
However you can apply the brake by moving the control

handle to the BRAKE ON position.
Be even more careful when allowing coast.  Make sure

you understand the possible hazards.  Don't place yourself

or others at risk.

WHEN COASTING
