2-4.2. Travel
Move the control arm to the travel position. The speed
control (See Figure 2-3 & Figure 2-4) located on each
side of the control head provides fingertip control for
driving the truck. Rotate the control in the direction you
want to travel. The farther you rotate the control from
the neutral position, the faster the truck will travel.
