Traverse & Pivot

TRAVERSE                              (right multi-task handle)

Roll the thumb ball to the left to move the carriage or 

forks to the left. Roll the ball to the right to move the 

carriage or forks to the right. 

The farther you move the ball from neutral, the faster 

the carriage or forks will move.

Before you traverse a load, make certain it will clear 

the platform.

PIVOT                          (left multi-task handle)

Push the thumb ball to the left to pivot the forks 

clockwise. Push the ball to the right to pivot the forks 

counter clockwise.

Before you pivot a load, make certain it will not poke 

or intrude into the operator area.

AUTO PIVOT 

This feature allows you to traverse and pivot at the 

same time, keeping the mast and forks within the 

running lines of the truck.

Press the trigger on the front of the left multi-task 

handle. Then roll the traverse thumb ball in the 

direction you want the mast and forks to traverse. The 

forks will traverse and pivot automatically.

OPTIONAL FUNCTIONS (right multi-task handle)

This thumb ball movement is available to control 

optional functions such as fork tilt or fork position.
Your company must train you how to operate any 

options. 

CHECK YOUR DISPLAY

If any hydraulic function doesn't work, check the 

message area of the display for instructions.
•  The gates must be down. 
•  The hand sensors and foot-presence pedals must  

  be actuated.
•  Some service conditions may also prevent you from  

  operating your truck. 

MANUAL TRAVERSE

If there is a problem with traverse, you can have 

someone on the floor assist you by using the power 

unit manual traverse switch. The switch is located 

under the rear power unit cover, on the right side of 

the truck.

• To traverse out of the rack

Locate the platform manual traverse switch in the left 

hand storage area.
Press this switch while your assistant on the floor is 

pressing the power unit switch. The forks will traverse 

out of the rack. Either of you can stop the movement 

by releasing your switch.

• To traverse into the rack

Press the platform switch twice to traverse into the 

rack.
