Inching Brake Pedal; Brake Pedal - UniCarriers 1F1 Operator's Manual

INCHING BRAKE PEDAL

The inching brake pedal allows you to finely adjust the forward and
reverse driving speed.
The transmission internal clutch
begins to slip when you slightly
depress this pedal, and the internal
clutch is completely disengaged and
the brakes are applied when you
further depress the pedal, in which
case the inching brake pedal acts in
the same ways as a brake pedal.
1. Fully depress the inching brake
pedal.
2. Move the selector lever to the
forward or reverse position.
3. Depress the accelerator pedal
little by little while gradually
releasing the inching brake
pedal. The lift truck will move bit
by bit.

WARNING
• When the inching brake pedal is fully depressed the service
brake will be applied. However the inching brake pedal
should not be used as the method for stopping the lift truck.
In normal traveling operations, the inching brake pedal
should only be used during loading or unloading, which
requires short, controlled movement of the lift truck.
• During deceleration on any grade, only use the brake pedal
or increase or decrease the speed by using the accelerator
pedal. Do not use or depress the inching brake pedal
because this will put the transmission in the neutral mode.
• Do not leave your foot on the inching brake pedal when
driving the lift truck.
• Doing so may cause the clutch to slip and prevent engine
braking from taking effect. Moreover, it could cause the
brake to fail because of overheating. Also, doing so may
cause the hydraulic clutch in the transmission to slip and
give off a large amount of heat, causing the clutch to
overheat, wear down in a short time or seize up in the worst
case.

BRAKE PEDAL

Brake Pedal
This pedal allows you to bring the lift
truck to a stop or slow it down.
• Do not brake the lift truck hard. Doing so may cause the lift
truck to become unbalanced and result in a serious accident.
• Adjust the braking effort according to the cargo weight.
• Do not rest your foot on the brake pedal during driving.
Doing so may cause the brakes to fail because of
overheating. Also, it hastens the wearing away of the brake
pad.
