TM 10-3930-671-10 Know The Truck How The Lift Truck Operates With the lift control lever, you are able to raise and lower the fork carriage on  the  upright.    The  lifting  speed  is  controlled  by  varying  engine  speed and lever position. When   the   lift   control   lever   is   pushed   forwards,   the   fork   carriage   is lowered.  By varying the amount of movement of the lever, you determine the  lowering  speed.    You  can  also  lower  the  fork  carriage  when  the engine is stopped. With  the  tilt  control  lever,  you  are  able  to  control  the  tilting  or  vertical positioning of the upright.  When the lever is pulled back, the upright also tilts  backwards.    If  the  lever  is  pushed  forwards,  the  upright  is  tilted forward.
