Section 3. Operator Compartment and Controls
Steering System
The steering handwheel operates a steering
control valve that directs the oil flow to the
steering cylinder connected to the steer axle. The
steering control valve can also act as a pump to
provide manual steering if the hydraulic pump
stops.
Horn Button
The horn button is located in the center hub of the steering
handwheel. Depressing the botton will sound the horn.
Brake Pedals
The left hand brake pedal (inching pedal) has two functions in order
to improve handling and efficiency. While pressing the inching pedal
the first part of its movement interrupts the power from the engine to
the transmission. The level of disengagement is dependent on the
movement of the pedal. The last part of the travel applies the brake
system.
In this way you are able to lift a load rapidly with full engine RPM
while controlling slow driving speed with the inching pedal like a
clutch. This is very useful in confined level working spaces.
On ramps or inclines the right hand brake pedal only should be used.
When using the inching pedal on slopes the lift truck could move
backwards or forwards unintentionally.
Direction Control Lever
This lever is typically on the left side of the steering column. When
changing the direction of travel, make sure that your lift truck has
come to a complete stop before moving the lever to the other
position.
CAUTION
!
If the truck will start with the direction control lever in
either forward or reverse, there is a problem with the
neutral start switch and it must be repaired.
Traction Disable Function
When driver leaves seat over 3sec, transmission goes to
neutral(power of fwd/rev solenoides is shut off). When driver gets
back in seat, truck must not go into gear until he shifts to neutral,
then shifts into gear.
