There are certain hazards that cannot be avoided solely by mechanical means in the everyday use of material handling trucks. Only the intelligence, good sense and care of the operator, along with proper maintenance, will assure that the trucks are operated properly. It is important to have trained, reliable personnel operating your units. If at any time the operator finds that the unit is not performing properly, he should discontinue operation of the truck and report the condition to his supervisor for correction.

There are certain hazards that cannot be avoided solely by mechanical means in the everyday use of material handling trucks. Only the intelligence, good sense and care of the operator, along with proper maintenance, will assure that the trucks are operated properly. It is important to have trained, reliable personnel operating your units. If at any time the operator finds that the unit is not performing properly, he should discontinue operation of the truck and report the condition to his supervisor for correction.

BRAKE CONTROL

BRAKE CONTROL

The brake are applied when the brake pedal is in the normal position (raised). Depressing, pushing down with your foot, brake pedal closes the interlock switch in control circuit that allows electricity to flow to the module block. This module directs current to the brake contactor to engage the PULL "IN" coil of the brake solenoid. Then the brake solenoid coil is in the fully pulled position the brake contactor is opened and block module redirects current to the HOLD "IN" coil of the brake solenoid. Which allows operation of this truck. To engage the brakes release your foot from the brake pedal. The brake pedal is physically located on the floor of the OPERATOR'S compartment. the brake, brake interlock switch, brake contactor, brake module block, and the brake solenoid should always be checked prior to the operation of this unit.

BRAKING USING PLUGGING FUNCTION

BRAKING USING PLUGGING FUNCTION

As stated above “BRAKE CONTROL” the truck can be brought to a stop by using the brake foot pedal (emergency use). An equally acceptable method of stopping the truck's travel is by using the “plugging” function (normal use). This method involves reversing the travel control to the opposite direction without using the brake foot pedal. This will cause the truck to come to a stop smoothly.

This method involves reversing the travel control to the opposite direction without using the brake foot pedal. This will cause the truck to come to a stop smoothly.

As the truck comes to a full stop the operator may choose to continue holding the control in the opposite direction and thus start the truck moving in that direction, or the operator may release the handle and allow the truck to come to a complete halt. Releasing the brake foot pedal will allow the parking brake to be automatically applied.

When using the “PLUG BRAKING” the operator may regulate, within the programmed capabilities, the severity of the “plugging” force and the stopping distance. For the lightest “plugging” force, and the longest stopping distance, the travel control should be operated only to the “creep” position in the opposite direction. For the strongest “plugging” power, and the shortest distance, the travel control should be operated to full speed in the opposite direction.

The BDI is physically located on the dash above and to the right of the steering wheel on lift platform. The BDI is to be read when unit is at rest with key switch “ON” and with NO motors running.

LIFT INTERRUPT (optional)

LIFT INTERRUPT (optional)

This dash display has a lift interrupt function. As the battery is drained of charge the needle moves to the red (empty/stop) dot.

This prevents damage to battery and truck due to the discharging of the battery beyond its “energy reserve”.
