  • 1 of 8: Look the forklift over to see if you can find a control panel.
  • 2 of 8: There's a little panel with red and green buttons on it next to the forklift's orange back end.
  • 3 of 8: But using it won't do anything, at least not yet.
  • 4 of 8: The forklift has another interactive spot a short way directly down from the control panel. What does it look like?
