WARNING! If the truck is found to be unsafe
and is in need of repair or if it contributes to
unsafe conditions, report immediately to the
designated authority. Do not operate the truck
until it has been restored to a safe operating
condition. Do not make any unauthorized
repairs or adjustments. All service must be
performed by a qualified service technician.
FORWARD AND REVERSE TRAVEL
AND SPEED CONTROL
All directional and speed controls are located on the
control handle.
Forward and reverse are controlled by rotating the
speed control lever. (See Figure 4) The lever is spring-
loaded to return to neutral when released. Further
rotation in either direction will progress the truck from
slow to maximum travel speed.
To change directions or to stop the truck, rotate the
speed control lever in the opposite direction. The truck
will come to a stop, and then (unless the controls are
returned to the center neutral position) accelerate in the
opposite direction.
STEERING
Moving the control handle (which connects to the
steering arm) right or left will turn the truck right or left.
When maneuvering around corners, make square turns
and be sure there is adequate clearance.
