3. TO ADJUST CONTROL LEVER
Your pallet truck features a 3 position control lever. Refer to Fig. 4.
LIFT lever down
DRIVE lever centred
LOWER Lever up (the lever returns to the drive position when released)
3.1 If the forks elevate while pumping in the DRIVE position, turn the adjusting nut (104) on the
adjusting bolt (103) or turn the adjusting screw (318) clockwise until pumping action does not
raise the forks.
3.2 If the forks descend while pumping in the DRIVE position, turn the adjusting nut (104) or the
adjusting screw (318) counter-clockwise until the forks do not lower.
3.3 If the forks do not descend when the control lever is in the LOWER position, turn the
adjusting nut (104) or adjusting screw (318) clockwise until raising the control lever lowers the
forks. Then check operation in the DRIVE position according to items 3.1 and 3.2.
3.4 If the forks do not elevate while pumping in the LIFT position, turn the adjusting nut (104) or
adjusting screw (318) counter-clockwise until the forks elevate while pumping in the LIFT
position. Then check operation in the DRIVE and LOWER positions according to items 3.1,
3.2, and 3.3.
4. MAINTENANCE
4.1 Check oil level every six months. We recommend good quality hydraulic jack oil.
Total volume is approximately 0.4 litres.
4.2 Air may enter the hydraulic oil during transportation or if stored with pump not in
an upright position. To remove air, set control lever to LOWER and pump several times.
4.3 Daily checks of the pallet truck can limit wear and provide early warning of problems.
Special attention should be paid to the wheels and axles, as string, rags, etc. can interfere
with proper operation of the wheels. See section 5 Guide to Safe Operation for more details.
4.4 All bearings and shafts are provided with long-life grease at the factory. Frequency of
lubrication depends on use, but should be performed monthly when in regular use.
5. GUIDE TO SAFE OPERATION
5.1 Operator should read manual and all safety warnings before using pallet truck.
5.2 Always move pallet truck with control lever in DRIVE position. This depressurizes
pump and helps to preserve seals and valve components.
5.3 Do not operate pallet truck before checking condition. Give special attention to
wheels and rollers, handle, forks, and foot pedal.
5.4 Do not operate loaded pallet truck on ramps or inclines.
5.5 Do not load beyond rated capacity.
5.6 Ensure load is centred on forks. Refer to Fig. 5.
5.7 Secure load on forks.
5.8 Do not carry people.
5.9 Keep clear of moving load. Do not place hands or feet beneath forks.
5.10 Do not tip loaded pallet truck. This may cause injury if the rear of the pallet truck "pops" up.
5.11 Never leave loaded pallet truck unattended
