Press the button to immediately cut forklift power.
If your platform is equipped with an E-switch but you need to operate the forklift without the platform: 1) Disconnect
the pigtail cord from the FTJB socket; and 2) Plug the FTJB jumper cord into the socket Connecting the jumper cord to
the socket closes the ignition circuit.
