ROTATION OF FORKLIFT CARRIAGE
0040
The second (auxiliary) lever operates the sideshifting and the rotation of the forklift carriage. The lever has an auxiliary switch
built into the lever knob. Without the switch being operated, the lever acts as described in Sideshifting the Forklift. When the
button is depressed, it changes the sideshift operation to the rotation operation described below.
The main and auxiliary levers can be operated at the same time to produce combined forklift actions as previously described.
