the joystick controller backward causes the
platform to lower, pushing the joystick
controller forward causes the platform to rise.
If the LIFT/DRIVE SELECTOR is set to the
drive function, pushing the joystick controller
forward causes the S3970RT / S3370RT /
S2770RT to move forward, pulling the
joystick controller backward causes the
S3970RT / S3370RT / S2770RT to move
backward. The further you push or pull the
controller the faster the motion (except
lowering-it occurs at one speed only).

JOYSTICK CONTROLLER turns the front
wheels left or right depending upon which

S2770RT will not drive and lift at the same
time.
9. Speed: Set the switch to turtle (slow) when
you are working in close quarters or if you
