positions, the brake engages, slowing or stopping
the truck.
5. Procedures for movement in reverse are the same
as in the forward direction except slowly press the
speed control backward. See Figure 2-3.

2-5.1. Stopping
The stopping distance of the truck depends on the
ground conditions. The driver must take this into
account when operating the truck.

controls and the horn.
1. Plugging: This electrical braking function consists
of rotating the speed control lever in the opposite
direction of travel and then releasing it when the
truck stops. Plugging is a convenient way to slow
down the truck during normal operation. If the
control is not released, the truck will accelerate in
the opposite direction.
2. Steering arm (See Figure 2-5): The brake is fully
applied by lowering or raising the steering arm.
(See Figure 2-4) All traction control power is shut
off when the brake is engaged. When the steering
arm is in the upright position, the brake acts as a
parking brake. Deadman braking occurs when the
handle is released and spring action raises steer-
ing arm to the upright position.

Lift/Lower Control buttons are located on the steering
control head. (Figure 2-4)
To lift forks, push in either LIFT button and hold until
forks reach desired height. To lower forks, push in
either LOWER button and hold until forks descend to
desired height.

2-9. LOADING AND UNLOADING


1. Move truck to location where load is to be picked
up.
2. Move the truck into position so forks are within
pallet or skid, and the load is centered over the
forks and as far back as possible.
3. Raise forks to lift load.
4. Drive to area where load is to be placed.

• BRAKE CNB#7 (Table 4-5) is managed as service brake input.
This information can be used also to recognize when the operator
is driving with a pressed pedal braking.
• EX.HYDRO: CNB#7 (Table 4-5) is managed as Exclusive Hydro.
This input must be connected to a Keyswitch controlled voltage.
The Belly switch active level is specified on the QUICK INV LOGIC
below.
The service brake of the exclusive hydro becomes active when
CNB#7 is opened.
HOUR COUNTER RUNNING This option specifies the hour counter mode. It can be set as:
• RUNNING: The counter registers travel time only.
• key on: The counter registers when the keyswitch is closed.

BATTERY CHECK Level = 1 This option specifies the handling of the low battery charge detec-
tion. It can be set as:
• Level 0: Nothing happens, the battery charge level is ignored.
• Level 1: A BATTERY LOW alarm is raised when the battery level
is calculated being less than 10% of the full charge. A BATTERY
LOW alarm inhibits the Lifting function.
• Level 2: A BATTERY LOW alarm is raised when the battery level
is calculated being less than 10% of the full charge. A BATTERY
LOW alarm reduces the maximum truck speed down to 24% of
the full truck speed then, if the MDI-PRC is absent, inhibits the Lift-
ing function.
• Level 3 Equivalent to Level 1; a BATTERY LOW alarm is raised
when the battery level is calculated being less than 10% of the full
charge. A BATTERY LOW alarm inhibits the Lifting function.

Table 4-2 Set Options-Continued
Parameter Factory Setting Description
AUX OUTPUT #1 BRAKE This option handles output CNA#3 (Table 4-5). It can be used as:
• BRAKE: CNA#3 (Table 4-5) drives an electromechanical Brake.
• HYDROCOMNT: CNA#3 (Table 4-5) drives the contractor for a
hydraulic steering function when the direction input or brake pedal
input are active or a movement of the truck is detected.
• EX.HYDRO: CNA#3 (Table 4-5) drives the contractor for a hydrau-
lic steering function when the exclusive hydro input is active.
• FREE: CNA#3 (Table 4-5) is not used.
The current this output can sink is up to 3Adc.

PEDAL BRAKING NONE The analog input CNA#18 (Table 4-5) has one of two functions:
• Pedal Braking input.
• Command input for lifting/lowering proportional valves in MDIPRC
version.
To turn from the first to the second function is just enough to set
PEDAL BRAKING to HNONE.
This option handles the analog input CNA#18 (Table 4-5) when
used as pedal braking input:
• ANALOG: With this setting it is possible to modulate the strength
of the braking when the accelerator is released. The strength of
the braking is proportional to the brake pedal potentiometer con-
nected to this input. When the pedal potentiometer voltage is
equal/less than the SET POT BRK MIN, the minimum release
braking strength is applied (following the RELEASE BRAKING
setting).
When the pedal potentiometer voltage is equal/higher than the
SET POT BRK MAX, the maximum release braking strength is
applied (following the PEDAL BRAKING setting). In the intermedi-
ate position, the electrical braking strength is a linear function
between the minimum (RELEASED BRAKING) and maximum
(PEDAL BRAKING) intensity. When there is also a switch con-
nected to the pedal braking (i.e. SET INPUT #4 to level BRAKE), it
must be closed, otherwise the release braking is stuck to the mini-
mum strength disregarding the pedal potentiometer position.
• DIGITAL: No pedal potentiometer is expected. Only when both the
SET INPUT #4 is Level BRAKE and the brake switch connected to
CNB#4 (Table 4-5) is closed, the release electrical braking follows
the PEDAL BRAKING setting (maximum strength); in all of the
other conditions the release electrical braking follows the
RELEASE BRAKING setting (minimum strength).
• NONE: The analog input CNA#18 (Table 4-5) is not used for the
release braking modulation.

QUICK INVERSION BELLY This option specifies the quick inversion mode when the SET
INPUT #4 is set BELLY. It can be set as:
• NONE: The quick inversion function is not managed (no effect
when CNB#7 (Table 4-5) switches over).
• TIMED: The quick inversion function is timed.
• BELLY: The quick inversion function is managed but not timed.

AUX VOLTAGE #1 100% This option specifies the percentage of the keyswitch controlled
voltage to be applied to the loads on CNA#1 (Table 4-5) (main
contactor coil) and CNA#3 (Table 4-5) (electromechanical brake).
The voltage modulation is set with a PWM at 1 kHz frequency.
After an initial delay of about 1 sec in which the entire keyswitch
controlled voltage is applied to the loads, the PWM reduces the
voltage at the loads down to the specified percentage.

4-5) is opened from a Keyswitch controlled voltage.
MDI-PRC ABSENT This option specifies:
• PRESENT: The MDI-PRC is connected to the ACO via the CAN
Bus: the handling of the Hydraulics is specified on the TRUCK
TYPE setting.
