Foot Brake BRAKES OFF Step all the way down on the left pedal. The brakes are now "off" and you can travel. Note: Slowing or stopping the truck by plugging (see page 19), requires power to the drive motors. You must have the brake pedal all the way down for plugging to work. BRAKES ON Lift your left heel. Let the left pedal rise until you have the desired braking force. Let the pedal come up all the way for full braking. As the brake pedal starts to lift, power is cut to the drive motors. Remember, without power to the drive motors you can't use plugging. Know the Hazards ? WATCH YOUR FEET Keep your feet inside the truck and on the pedals at all times. This truck weighs about 3630kg (8000 pounds) even without a load. You cannot stop or even slow down that much weight with your foot or any part of your body, no matter how slow the truck is moving. A foot or hand caught between the truck and a wall, post or any fixed object will be crushed or even cut off. MAKE SURE YOUR BRAKES WORK Test the brakes on your truck at the start of each shift. Know the distance it takes to stop before you start working. If at any time the stopping distance is too long for you to stop safely, don't drive the truck. Report any problem to your supervisor. 17 Foot Brake Foot Brake 18
Traveling & Plugging TILT 19 Traveling & Plugging TRAVEL, POWER UNIT FIRST Pull the multi-function handle toward you to travel in the direction of the power unit (power unit first). The farther you pull the handle from the neutral position, the faster the truck will travel. TRAVEL, FORKS FIRST Push the multi-function handle away from you to travel in the direction of the forks (forks first). The farther you push the handle from the neutral position, the faster the truck will travel. PLUGGING Plugging is another way to slow down or stop your truck. While the truck is moving, in either direction, pull or push the multi-function handle through neutral to the opposite direction of travel. This will not hurt your truck. Travel, forks first Know the Hazards Pull the multi-function control Push the multi-function control Travel, power unit first HORN Press the blue button on the multi-function handle to sound the horn. Use it to warn pedestrians and other drivers. Use your horn when you come to an intersection or a crosswalk. PLUGGING VS. BRAKING Of the two, the foot brake is designed to stop the truck in the shortest distance. Use the foot brake in an emergency, on ramps or in busy areas. YOU CAN'T HAVE BOTH Plugging works only when you have the brake pedal all the way down. When the brake pedal begins to lift, power is cut to the drive motor and you will not be able to plug.
