RAISE & LOWER
Primary raise and lower lets you move the entire
operator platform, and forks, up or down on the
primary mast.
Auxiliary raise and lower lets you move just the
forks up or down on the auxiliary mast.
Primary Raise & Lower (right multi-task handle)
Move the right multi-task handle to the
right to raise the platform and forks

the platform and forks.
The farther you move the multi-task
handle from the neutral position, the
faster the platform will raise or lower.
Auxiliary Raise & Lower (left multi-task handle)
Roll the thumb ball up to raise only the
forks, Roll the ball down to lower only
the forks.
The farther you move the ball from
the neutral position, the faster the
forks will raise or lower.
MANUAL LOWERING
If there is a problem with primary lowering, you can
have someone on the fl oor lower the platform by using
the manual lowering valve. The valve is located under
the rear power unit cover, on the right side of the truck.
You must fi rst make certain the forks are traversed clear
of the rack. See page 24 for manual traverse.
Note:
Always be alert to a display message or any other
indications that the lift chains have become slack.
A slack chain condition can cause serious injury by
allowing the platform to drop suddenly.
Stop lowering immediately if chains become slack.

FOOT PRESENCE PEDALS
Whether sitting or standing, you must have your feet
on two of the three foot presence pedals to operate
the truck.
Note:
If you remove a foot from one of the presence
pedals while standing, the brake is applied. However
if you remove a foot from one of the presence pedals
while seated, the truck will coast. You must use the
brake pedals or plugging to stop the truck (see pages
19 & 20).
CHECK YOUR DISPLAY
If any truck function doesn't work, your hands or feet
may be out of position, check the message area of the
display for instructions.
