Do not turn on an incline. To reduce
the possibility of a tipover, a lift truck
must not be driven across an incline.
When possible, keep both hands on
the steering wheel. During most
loading or unloading operations, the
operator steers with the left hand.
The right hand is used to operate
the lift, tilt, and attachment controls.
When turning the lift truck from a wide aisle into a narrow
aisle, start the turn as close to the opposite stock pile as tail
swing will permit. This action permits the lift truck to enter
the narrow aisle going straight ahead.
Synchronized Steering Control
This feature is only available on lift trucks equipped with the
Synchronized Steering function, and is set by personnel
with a supervisor or service technician level password.
This feature allows either the supervisor or service techni-
cian to adjust the position that the steering wheel will be in
when the lift truck is traveling straight ahead.
The operator will notice that the steering wheel always
returns to the same position when the lift truck starts to
travel in a straight direction after completing a turn.
Auto Power Off
If the lift truck goes through 15 minutes of inactivity, it will
automatically power off, even if the operator is in the seat.
To turn lift truck power
ON
again, turn the key or keyless
switch to the
ON
position. If the key or keyless switch is in
the
ON
position when the lift truck powers off, turn the key
or keyless switch to the
OFF
position and then turn the key
or keyless switch to the
ON
position.
If the lift truck is equipped with the Operator Password fea-
ture, the operator must re-enter his password. If the Opera-
tor Checklist feature is enabled, the operator will NOT have
