UNDERSTANDING THE BENDI B40I4 FORKLIFT
3-9
Pressing the pedal down starts the truck moving,
dependent upon the direction you have selected. The
closer you press the drive pedal to the floor, the faster the
forklift moves. Releasing the pedal brings the vehicle to a
smooth stop.
The drive pedal only controls engine RPM when a
direction is selected with the direction lever. Depressing
the drive pedal while in NEUTRAL will not increase
engine RPM.
Figure 3-10: Foot Pedals
The Bendi B40i4 forklift is equipped with a spring applied
hydraulic released brake system. The stop pedal does
not operate as a gentle service brake, but a firmly acting
parking brake. It is to be used for emergency stops or as
a parking brake ONLY. If possible, do not operate the stop
pedal while the forklift is in motion as this could result in
the loss of the load from the forks.
As the stop pedal is depressed, the drive motor shuts
down and the directional control electrically resets to
NEUTRAL, preventing further movement of the truck.
Hand Operation Controls
Figure 3-11: Control Levers
Direction Lever
The forklift direction control lever is located on the
operators control pod and selects the direction of travel of
the truck (forward or reverse). See Figure 3-11.
Lift Lever
The forklift mast lift control lever is located on the front
control pod. See Figure 3-11. The lift lever not only
controls the lift spool of the hydraulic valve but also
provides feedback to the vehicle Master Controller to
increase engine RPM while full lift is being selected. This
seamless integration allows maximum lift speed without
the need to rev the engine manually.
Tilt Lever
The forklift mast tilt control lever is located on the front
control pod. See Figure 3-11. A visual indicator is
provided on the mast tilt cylinder, located on both sides of
the mast, so you can easily determine the number of
degrees the mast is tilted.
Side Shift Lever
The forklift mast side shift control lever is located on the
front control pod. See Figure 3-11. Side shift is a
standard function on Bendi B40i4 forklifts.
Attachment Lever(s) - Option
A fourth optional function can be fitted via a push button
controlled solenoid. The push button is mounted on the
side shift lever. Powered attachments are optional
functions on Bendi B40i4 forklifts.
