Raise/Lower lever (standard)
Tilt lever (standard)
Accessory lever (optional)

HYDRAULIC LEVER OPERATION
Pull the lever toward you, away from the mast, and you'll

get the action shown by the symbol in the top of the

lever. Push the lever away from you, toward the mast,

and you'll get the opposite action.
The farther you move the handle from neutral, the faster

the action will be.

For example: Pull the Raise/Lower lever toward

you to raise the forks, as shown by the symbol.

Push the lever away from you to lower the forks.

Note:

The left side of each lever has a different shape, to

help you identify the lever by feel.

KEY UP
• Turn the key clockwise to TEST (yellow dot).

Make certain the display is working.

• Let go of the key and it will return to ON (green dot).
• Turn key counterclockwise to OFF (red dot) to shut

the truck off. Always turn key to OFF when leaving

truck.

POWER DISCONNECT
Pull the battery connector up to disconnect the battery

and cut power to the truck.
Use the power disconnect to shut the truck down any

time it isn't working right. Don't use the truck if it’s not

working right. Report the problem to your supervisor.

HYDRAULIC OPERATIONS CAN AFFECT STABILITY
Capacities shown on your capacity plate are with the

mast vertical. Be extra careful when tilting a load. (This

also applies to other accessories or attachments your

truck may have, such as sideshift, carton clamp, push-

pull, etc.)

TO BEGIN TRAVEL AFTER KEY UP:
• Place direction control in neutral.
• Step down firmly on the service brake pedal, then

release.
