TRAVEL

Move the Forward/Reverse Rocker

in the direction you want to travel.
The farther you move the rocker from the neutral

position, the faster the truck will move.

REVERSING BUTTON

If you accidentally hit the reversing button while working

in close quarters, the truck will move in the direction of

the forks until the button is released.
Be careful.  The reversing button cannot prevent all

injuries.

PLUGGING

Plugging is another way to slow down your truck.

While the truck is moving, in either direction, move the

Forward/Reverse rocker through neutral to the opposite

direction of travel.
Plugging will not hurt your truck.

HIGH TRAVEL SPEED

For high travel speed, turn the travel speed switch

to the high speed position (      ), and move the

Forward/Reverse Rocker to the maximum travel speed

position.

fixed objects.

WATCH YOUR FEET AND HANDS

post or any fixed object will be crushed or even cut off.

Keep your feet clear of the wheels.

HORN

Push the switch on the underside of the grips to sound

the horn.  Use it to warn pedestrians and other drivers.
