OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS-cont.

TM 10-3930-623-12

a. If the transmission is in either drive range

slight brake pedal travel bypasses a portion of Clutch

Apply pressure to the applied clutch, permitting clutch

slippage for close quarter inching operations.

b. Further pedal travel dumps all Clutch Apply

pressure, effectively neutralizing the transmission even if

the selector is in a Drive position. The operator can then

inch in under a load, pick it up without shifting to neutral,

and take it away with minimum operation of controls.

Further pressure on the pedal beyond inching applies

the brakes.

6. Shift lever.

This lever is used to shift the

transmission into FORWARD, NEUTRAL, or REVERSE.

Design of the transmission permits power shifting

between FORWARD and REVERSE at any speed,

without using brakes, if the operation being performed

requires it.

7. Hoist control lever. With the truck engine running,

drawing this lever rearward directs hydraulic pressure to

the hoist cylinder to raise the forks. In center position,

the hoist cylinder is locked in whatever position it was at

the time the control was placed in that position. Moving

the lever forward releases the hydraulic fluid in the hoist

cylinder to permit lowering the forks by gravity. The

control can be manipulated by the operator to select the

rate of raising or lowering as desired.

8. Tilt control lever.

When moved forward, this

control tilts the uprights and forks OUT to facilitate

picking up certain types of load, and in (when moved

rearward) for security in carrying a load.
