Raise & Lower

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. 

Move the handle to the left to lower 

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 floor 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 first 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.

Know the Hazards

RAISE & LOWER CUTOUT OVERRIDE 

Using the Cutout Override allows you to travel, or raise 

the platform, into areas where there are obstructions 

and hazards such as pipes, ducts, conduits, low 

ceilings etc. 
Hitting any obstruction could tip the truck over, 

causing serious injury or even death.
Watch out for obstructions anytime you're operating 

your truck. Be even more careful when using Cutout 

Override.

MANUAL LOWERING AND TRAVERSE

Keep all body members within the operator 

compartment while performing any emergency 

operations.

SLACK CHAIN CONDITION

Always be alert for slack lift chains. This condition 

could allow the platform to drop suddenly and  

cause injury. Stop lowering immediately if chains 

become slack.

RAISE & LOWER CUTOUT (optional) 

Your truck may be equipped with automatic cutout of 

raise or lower at selected heights.
To travel past the cutout height, push the Override 

button while, at the same time, moving the Raise/Lower 

control.
Be very careful and watch that you don't raise, lower or 

drive into obstructions when using the Cutout Override.

Note:

 The Override Button is also used with End of Aisle 

Control Option. See page 32.
