23 Traveling & Plugging
TRAVEL DIRECTION AND SPEED
Move the direction control toward the mast
to travel forks first. Move the control away from
the mast to travel power unit first (forks trailing).
Step down on the accelerator to control travel speed.
The farther you push it down, the faster the truck will
go.
When you sit down in the seat, the direction control must
be placed in neutral before you select a travel position.
PLUGGING
Plugging is another way to slow down or stop your truck.
While the truck is moving, in either direction, select the
opposite direction of travel. Use the accelerator to
control how quickly you slow down. Plugging will not
stop your truck as fast as using the foot brake.
Plugging does not hurt your truck.
TRUCKS THAT LOOK ALIKE CAN BE DIFFERENT
This style truck can be built with one of two different
types of steering(see below).
STEERING AND DRIVING
Steering is not the same in both directions. Be careful.
Drive slowly until you get used to all the controls.
Know the Hazards
POWER UNIT SWING
Be careful turning while traveling forks first. The power
unit will swing wide in the opposite direction. Make
sure you have clearance, and watch out for people in
the area.
Caution:
If you ever drive a different SR Series truck, be
careful. The steering may be different.
