Accelerator Pedal; Cargo-Handling Control Levers - UniCarriers 1F1 Operator's Manual

ACCELERATOR PEDAL

This pedal allows you to adjust the
engine speed (RPM's). The engine
speed changes according to the
degree to which the accelerator pedal
is depressed.
!
WARNING
• Do not depress the accelerator pedal quickly. Depress it
slowly to prevent a sudden or rapid start, which could cause
the cargo to shift or fall off the forks.
• To prevent sudden movement, always operate the
accelerator pedal after the ignition switch has been turned
on and the selector lever has been shifted.
• Do not release parking brake unless operator is in seat as lift
truck may roll.

CARGO-HANDLING CONTROL LEVERS

There are three (3) cargo-handling control lever types. One type uses
the twin control lever, another type uses the single control lever, and the
last is the optional joystick type.
Note the cargo-handling control lever type on the lift truck you are using
and operate the lever or levers appropriately.
!
WARNING
• Always sit in the operator's seat with the seat belt fastened
when operating any lever.
• Operating the control lever without properly sitting in the
operator's seat with the seat belt fastened causes the
loading interlock warning light to blink and the loading
mechanism to be inactive.
• Before operating the lever, make certain that the surrounding
area is clear and it is safe to proceed.
• If the engine is stopped, operation of the lever to the
downside or lowering direction may cause the fork and mast
to go down due to its own weight or the cargo that may be
on the forks. This may result in serious damage or injury.
• Always avoid any abrupt or sudden lever operation that may
cause loads to shift or fall off forks and cause the lift truck to
become unbalanced and tip over.
NOTE:
The cargo-handling control levers are enabled to operate the cargo-
handling system only when the operator is seated with the seat belt
fastened and the ignition switch ON.
Refer to page 82 for Seat Belt Interlock options regarding the cargo-
handling system.
!
• The attachment may move due to its own weight when the
third or forth cargo-handling control lever is operated with
the ignition switch in the OFF position.
