How The Lift Truck Operates
The instrument panel includes the:
1.
Ignition Key Switch.
2.
Warning Indicator Lights.
3.
Fuel Gauge.
4.
Hourmeter
5.
Fasten Seat Belt Light.
6.
Light switch.
The Ignition Key Switch:
connects and tests the warning indicator lights.
connects the starter motor circuit when engine is to
be started.
The Ignition Key Switch has three positions:
OFF
RUN
START
When the key is in the vertical "OFF" position, all engine and indicator light electrical circuits are disconnected (shut-off),
and the key can be removed. From the "OFF" position, the key can be turned to the right (clockwise) to the "START"
position, where the engine ignition and the starter motor are engaged. From the "START" position, when the key is
released, it will return automatically back to the left (counterclockwise) for a part of its travel, to the "RUN" position where
the engine starter is disengaged.
The key switch has a mechanical "anti-restart" feature, which prevents the engine starter from being engaged and
damaged if the key switch is accidentally turned from the "RUN" position to the "START" position when the engine is
running. If the engine stops running, the key switch must be turned to the "OFF" position to restart the engine.
