Driving with automatic guidance
There are two types of guidance systems:
• Mechanical guidance
• Inductive guidance
Mechanical guidance
The mechanical guidance consists of one or
two rails, along with or in between the truck is
guided with permissible variation of 5 mm.
Entering the rack aisle
In order to enter the rail guidance, the truck
must be positioned as centrically as possible
and in alignment with the rack aisle in front of
the entering funnel.
The more carefully this positioning in front
of the rack aisle is done, the faster and the
gentler the lift truck can be moved into the
guidance. After the truck has been moved into
the guidance, the lateral rail switches (1) are
operated.
Through detection of the rail guide by means
of a rail switch (1), steering control is auto-
matically switched over to the new guidance
system
• For this, the driver’s left hand must make
contact with the steering knob / steering
wheel. When the controller recognizes the
hand contact it enables further functions.
• If you only wish to travel, the two-hand
control switch must be activated after
pressing the foot switch, and the control
lever "travel" deflected in the required
direction.
• If travel and raising/lowering are to be done
simultaneously, the control lever and the
operating rocker switch must be deflected
accordingly.
• Example: Pressing the operating rocker
switch on the right-hand side and pressing
the operating lever upwards results in main
lift up combined with forward drive. This
operating mode is known as diagonal travel.
