Transmission Control
Direction of Travel Selection
• This lever (1) engages forward or reverse travel. Push lever forward (2) for
forward travel; pull lever rearward (3) for reverse travel. Move lever to centered
position for ‘Neutral’.
• Forward or reverse travel can be selected while in any gear.
• When traveling in reverse, the back-up alarm will automatically sound.
• Drive in reverse and turn only at slow rates of speed.
• Do not increase engine speed with the transmission in forward or reverse and the
service brake depressed in an attempt to get quicker hydraulic performances.
This could cause unexpected machine movement.
WARNING
TIP OVER/CRUSH HAZARD. Bring telehandler to a complete stop before
shifting transmission control lever. A sudden change in direction of travel could
reduce stability and/or cause load to shift or fall. Failure to comply could result in
death or serious injury.
