Travel
The butterfly switch controls the direction and speed of the lift truck.
Rotating the butterfly control towards the forks moves the truck in the forward
direction. Rotating the butterfly control away from the forks, moves the truck
in the reverse direction. The control is progressive – the further you rotate the
control, the faster the truck will travel.

Emergency reverse safety button
At the top of the handle is a red safety reverse button. The button is
designed to change the travel direction away from the operator when
depressed. The truck will stop moving away from the operator when the
button is released. When the fork truck is traveling forward (away from the
operator) the button has no effect when activated.
If the belly switch becomes jammed or stuck, it will move forward (away
from the operator) for a maximum of 3 seconds at which time the control circuit
will become disabled until the handle is re-set to the full up or full down position
and the belly switch is returned to normal operation.
