AITA 002 Inching Pedal Usage Ver 3

This document provides guidelines for the proper use of control pedals on an internal combustion forklift with a power shift transmission. It describes the functions of the inching, brake, and accelerator pedals. The inching pedal is used to gradually disengage the transmission before lifting a load. The brake pedal stops travel in either direction and should be used for hill starts. The accelerator pedal controls travel speed in either direction. It cautions against improper use such as riding the inching pedal or braking too hard.
