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.

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.

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.

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.

Battery Maintenance   26

BEFORE CHARGING YOUR TRUCK BATTERIES

• Do not try to install, remove, charge or service your
  truck battery unless you are trained and authorized.

• Charge the battery only in areas designated for that use.

• See that cells of serviceable batteries are fi lled to the
  proper level. Never use an open fl ame to check 
 batteries.

• Make sure the truck key switch is turned OFF and all
  controls are in the off or neutral position.

• For a built-in charger, make certain the AC outlet is the
  same voltage as the battery charger.

• For an external charger, make certain the charger is the
  same voltage and amperage as your battery(s).
  Read the battery charger instructions.
  Be sure the charger is turned OFF before connecting
  the battery to the charger. Otherwise you might create
  a spark which could cause a battery to explode.

DANGER

Batteries produce explosive gas.

Do not smoke, use open flame, or create an 
arc or sparks near this battery.  Ventilate well 
in enclosed areas and when charging.

Batteries contain 

Sulfuric Acid

 which 

causes severe burns.  Do not get in eyes, 
on skin, or clothing.  In case of contact, flush 
immediately.  Get medical attention if your 
eyes are affected.
