Question

when you stop the forklift by \plugging,\ you should:
release the deadman pedal quickly.
move the control handle through neutral to the opposite direction to slow the lift truck, then release the deadman pedal to stop.
release the control handle and coast to a stop.
hit the battery disconnect.

Explanation:

When stopping a forklift by "plugging", moving the control handle through neutral to the opposite direction slows the lift truck. Releasing the deadman pedal then stops it. Releasing the deadman pedal quickly (first option) is incorrect as it doesn't account for slowing. Releasing the control handle and coasting (third option) is not "plugging". Hitting the battery disconnect (fourth option) is an extreme and not standard "plugging" method.

Answer:

Move the control handle through neutral to the opposite direction to slow the lift truck, then release the deadman pedal to stop.
