Know the Hazards
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.
Raising & Lowering
17 Raising & Lowering
RAISE/LOWER
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.
The farther you move the lever from neutral, the faster
the forks will move.
RAISE & LOWER PUSH BUTTONS
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.
