Question

when you stop a lift truck by \braking\ you should:
release the deadman pedal quickly.
quickly turn the key to the off position.
move the directional/speed control handle through neutral to the opposite direction.
hit the battery disconnect that connects the battery to the lift truck.

Explanation:

When stopping a lift truck by braking, moving the directional/speed control handle through neutral to the opposite direction is a proper braking method. Releasing the deadman pedal quickly can be unsafe. Quickly turning the key to the off position is not the standard braking action. Hitting the battery disconnect is also not the correct braking procedure.

Answer:

Move the directional/speed control handle through neutral to the opposite direction.
