Hyster HD 170 sensitive controls

I was operating an HD170 the other day and the controls seemed to alow a faster drop and lift speed than would be safe. The electronic controls are certainly easy to use. But the blades drop like a rock until you get used to it.
Is this a setting that can be changed?

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
