lower, tilt, sideshift, horn, and extend and retract functions. Each function
has an independent control device.
Travel is activated by tilting the entire control handle in the direction of
travel. Pushing the control handle toward the forks makes the lift truck
travel forward. To change direction, move the multi-function handle in the
opposite direction the lift truck is traveling, regardless of travel speed. The
lift truck will come to a stop, then accelerate in the opposite direction. This
control is proportional; therefore, the farther the control handle is pushed,
the faster the lift truck will accelerate or decelerate. If the multi-function
handle is released, it will return to neutral, and the truck will decelerate at
a programmed rate to a stop.
The multi-function handle controls the direction and speed at which the
carriage moves vertically on the mast. Lift/Lower is activated by tilting
the entire control handle toward the left or right side of the lift truck. If the
control handle is tilted toward the right, the carriage lifts; if the control
handle is tilted toward the left, the carriage lowers. The farther the lever
is tilted, the faster the carriage lifts or lowers.
The Horn button is located on the side of the multi-function handle facing
the operator, just to the left of the tilt/sideshift disk. The horn is activated
by pressing the button with the thumb.
