SHIFT LEVER
CAUTION
Press the brake pedal to the full before operating
the shift lever. The truck starts moving slowly
or creeps when the brake pedal is released with
the shift lever not in neutral. Do not release the
brake pedal until you are ready to start.
The truck is equipped with a shift lever on the steering
column (3 speeds in fwd/rev).
When the shift lever is placed in the reverse position
"R", the back-up lamp comes on and the back-up
buzzer sounds.
Bring the truck to a complete stop before reversing
the direction of travel, from forward to reverse or vice
versa.
NOTE
The shift lever has a neutral switch. Before starting
the engine, make sure the shift lever is in neutral.
The truck won't start if the shift lever is not in neutral.

by the tilt angle of the lever and accelerator
pedal effort or engine speed. Note the
lowering speed of the forks is controlled

speed of the forks.
