Operation Section Parking Brake Lever Tilt Control Do not engage the parking brake while the lift truck is moving unless an emergency exists. The use of the parking brake as a service foot brake in regular operation will cause severe damage to the parking brake system. NOTICE The parking brake lever is located at the left side of the steering wheel. Lift Control The mast can be tilted by operation of this tilt lever. Pulling on this lever backwards will tilt the mast backwards, and pushing it forwards will tilt the mast forwards. The tilt speed can be controlled by tilt angle of the lever and accelerator pedal effort.
The forks can be raised or lowered by pulling backwards or pushing forwards on this lever. The lift speed is controlled by tilt angle of the lever and accelerator pedal effort. The lowering speed can be controlled by tilt angle of the lever. The engine speed or accelerator pedal has nothing to do with the lowering speed of the forks. 59
