TRAVEL POSITION OF FORKS & CARRIAGE

Before traveling at full speed, you must pivot the forks 
and sideshift the carriage so they do not extend past 
the sides of the truck.

You must also make certain that the load does not 
extend past the sides of the truck.

CHECK YOUR DISPLAY

If your truck won't travel, or operates at a reduced 
speed, check the message panel on the console 
display.
