BRAKING

Move the control handle all the way down or all the way
up to apply the brake.

When you let go of the control handle it will automatically
go to the upper braking position.  Check braking before
you start working.

BRAKE OVERRIDE

If you must move your truck while in a confined area, this
feature allows you to override the brake and drive slowly
while the handle is in the upper "Brake On" area.

With the handle in the "Brake Override" part of the braking
area, first put the forward/reverse rocker in neutral, and
then move it to the direction you want to travel.

Watch your feet. Make sure you don't get pinned between
the truck and a fixed object.  Stay out of path of travel.
