POWER UNIT SWING
Be careful turning while traveling forks first. The power
unit will swing wide in the opposite direction. Make sure
you have clearance, and watch out for people in the area.
SLOW DOWN FOR SPILLS OR WET FLOORS
Powder or liquid spills can cause slippery floors. Slow
down or you could lose control of steering and braking.
Be careful and allow for a longer stopping distance.
Don't run over objects on the floor.

HYDRAULIC LEVER OPERATION
Move the lever away from the mast, toward the control
arm, and you'll get the action shown by the symbol on the
top of the knob. Move the lever toward the mast and you'll
get the opposite action.
The farther you move any lever from neutral, the faster
the forks will move.
For example: Move the Raise/Lower lever
away from the mast, toward the control
arm, to raise the forks. Move the lever
toward the mast to lower the forks.
or
Move the optional Reach lever away from
the mast to retract the forks, or toward
the mast to reach or extend the forks.
RAISE & LOWER PUSH BUTTONS, OPTION
For convenience, single speed push buttons may be installed
on the control handle. Push either the Raise or Lower
button until the forks are at the desired height.
