1-2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION.

The self-propelled CB33 truck,
transports payloads up to 3300 pounds on adjustable
forks.
The forward and reverse motion is controlled by either
of two thumb controlled levers mounted on the control
head. Stopping and turning is controlled by the control
arm. Lift, Lower and Tilt are controlled by pushbuttons
on the control head. The battery powered lift truck is
quiet and without exhaust fumes.
The reversible AC motor propels the lift truck in for-
ward or reverse direction throughout the available
speed range. The CB33 lift truck can be driven with
forks raised or lowered; however, the speed is
restricted when the platform is raised above a preset
limit.
On demand power steering makes the lift truck highly
maneuverable.
The model number will be found on the name plate
(Figure 1-1) along with the serial number, lifting capac-
ity, and load center. Figure 1-2
