COASTING

Coasting can make it easier for you to pick 

loads while walking to the side of the truck.

The ability to coast is standard. The coasting 

distance can be adjusted by your service personnel.

When you let go of the forward and reverse rocker the

brake is partially applied to allow the truck to coast to 

a controlled stop.

However you can apply the brake by pressing the 

brake button on the control handle.

Be even more careful when allowing the truck to coast.

Make sure you understand the possible hazards.  Don't

place yourself or others at risk.

When moving from the riding position to the walk

beside or coast position, stop your truck completely

before getting off.

Never get on or off the truck while it is moving. 

COASTING REQUIRES EVEN MORE CAUTION

•  Floors must be level and free of obstacles.
•  Never allow the truck to coast into a cross aisle.

•  Do not coast in pedestrian walkways.
•  Watch out for people and other trucks.
•  Do not walk in the path of a coasting truck.  Stay  

  to the side of the truck and load.  Keep your

  arm extended and your feet clear.

•  When coasting, travel power unit first only.  Do not  

  turn.
•  Always stop your truck before getting on or off.

WHEN WALKING OR COASTING

• Travel power unit first only.  Do not turn.

• Stay to the side of the truck and load.   

  Keep your arm extended to give 

  maximum clearance between you and  

  the truck or load. Keep your feet clear.

• Make sure the area ahead of you is clear.

Note: 

 When you are off the platform, travel 

is always in low speed, and steering is 

reduced to +/- 15 degrees.

WHEN RIDING

Stop your truck before getting on or off.
