Inching
NOTE:
The purpose of the inching pedal is to
provide precise lift truck inching control at
very slow travel speed and high engine
rpm. This is used for fast hydraulic lift,
during load approach,
pick up or load
positioning.
1.
To inch (creep) in either direction, slowly push
down on the inching pedal. This will start to apply
the service brakes and allow the transmission
clutch discs to slip.
2.
Vary the position of the inching pedal and the
accelerator pedal to control the inching speed
and distance.
3.
Pushing down further on the inching pedal will
disengage the transmission completely and apply
the service brakes fully to stop and hold the lift
truck. This will provide full engine power for fast
hydraulic lift.
