Crown Equipment RR 5200S Series - Manual (Page 17)

REACH/RETRACT
Roll the thumb ball away from you to reach (extend) the
forks. Roll the ball toward you to retract the forks.
The farther you move the ball from neutral the faster the
forks will move.
This motion of the thumb ball will have a second function
if your truck has a sideshift option.
SIDESHIFT OPTION
With the thumb ball in neutral, press and hold the switch
on the back of the multi-task handle. Then roll the ball
away from you to shift the forks to the left (away from
you). Roll the ball toward you to shift the forks to the
right (toward you).
The farther you move the ball from neutral the faster the
forks will move.
Know the Hazards
CHECK FORK AND PALLET POSITION
The fork position will vary depending on whether the
forks are loaded or unloaded.
Make certain the forks are at the correct tilt position and
lift height to enter a pallet, or that the pallet and load will
clear the rack beams.

TILT UP & DOWN
Roll the thumb ball up to tilt the fork tips up. Roll the
ball down to tilt the fork tips down.
THUMB BALL
All hydraulic fork functions, other than
raise & lower, are controlled by the multi-task thumb ball.
TILT POSITION ASSIST OPTION
With the thumb ball in neutral, press and hold the switch
on the back of the multi-task handle. Then roll the thumb
ball either up or down.
If your truck is equipped with this option, the forks will
go to the programed tilt position chosen by your company
for this truck.
FORK POSITION WILL VARY DEPENDING ON LOAD
The tilt of the forks and raised height of the forks will
change depending on how much load is on the forks.
Always check to see that the forks are at the correct tilt
position and lift height to enter a pallet, or that the pallet
and load will clear the rack beams.
Be just as careful when using programmed functions as
when operating the truck manually.
