3.0 Introduction
Your JET Pallet Truck is designed with most efficient features for warehouse or dock.
The 2.56-inch lowered height, tapered fork tips and wide polyurethane entry/exit rollers combine for easy entry
and exit of pallets. The sharp turning radius allows maneuverability in confined spaces. Ball bearings on steer
and load wheels are lifetime lubricated, double-sealed, and promote smooth, quiet travel.
The cast iron pump features top-of-the-stroke and overload by-pass valve systems, and single point valve
service for easy replacement.
The chassis is heavy gauge steel, reinforced with cross-welded plates to prevent forks from bending; solid steel
push rods provide additional strength. Paint finish is powder-coated for superior protection of the underlying
steel.
In summary, your JET Pallet Truck is designed to offer consistent, long-term operation with minimal
maintenance and service attention. If there are questions or comments, please contact your local supplier or
JET. JET can also be reached at our web site: www.jettools.com.
Retain this manual for future reference. If the pallet truck transfers ownership, the manual should accompany it.
If there are questions or comments, please contact your local supplier or JET. JET can also be reached at our

5.0 Assembly (for crate quantity purchases only)
5.1 PTJ-B series (except PT-1636JB) Assembly
Individual pallet trucks are assembled and ready to use. Pallet trucks purchased in crate quantities (6 units to a
crate) require some assembly. A hammer and pliers are required. Match the “letter” label on the handle
assembly to the “letter” label on the frame, prior to assembly.
Note: The following illustrations may not show your exact model.
To attach handle assembly to the frame:
1. Align the holes in the handle with the holes in
the pump body. Tap the pivot pin through the
handle and pump bodies.
2. Using pliers, turn the pivot pin until spring pin
holes line up.
3. Using a hammer, tap the spring pin into the
pump body and pivot pin.
4. Lower the handle until the spring cap is
contacted. (This will reduce some of the
pressure on the pump retainer pin, making it
easier to remove.)
5. Tap out the pump retainer pin and discard it.
6. Feed the chain anchor through the hole in the
pivot pin.
7. Position the chain anchor through the fork of
the relief cam, with the lock nut below the fork.
5
5.2 PT-1636JB Only Assembly
Note: Individual trucks are assembled and ready to use. Pallet trucks purchased in crate quantities (6
units to a crate) require some assembly. Match the “number” label on the handle to the “number” label on
the frame, prior to assembly. Proceed with instructions below.
Tools Needed for Assembly
Hammer
Flat Head Screwdriver
Pliers or 17mm Wrench
Figure 3
5. Using a hammer, tap the spring pins into the
pump bracket and handle pins.
Figure 1
Insert the base of the handle into the pump
bracket.
1. Align the holes at the base of the handle with
the holes in the pump bracket.
2. Using a screwdriver, pry the cam up and slip
the bolt head under the notch in the cam. Do
not adjust the nut.
Note: If the holes aren’t lined up, use a 17mm
wrench or pliers to turn the handle pin until the
spring pin holes line up.
6. Repeat for the opposite side handle pin.
7. Pull handle down and remove retaining tube
by pulling straight out. Discard retaining tube.
Figure 2
3. Insert handle pins into the holes of the pump
bracket and handle. Align the spring pin holes
in the handle pin and the pump bracket.
4. Tap the handle pins into place with a hammer.
Figure 4

6.0 Operation
To lift a load:
1. Lower forks to lowest position.
2. Insert forks under load or into pallet.
3. Push the lever down.
4. Pump handle up and down until forks reach
desired height.
To move a load:
1. Place lever in center neutral position.
2. Pull or push to desired location.
To lower a load:
1. Pull lever up, and allow load to settle. (The
lever is spring loaded and will return to
neutral position when released.)
2. Pull forks away from load.
7.0 Maintenance
7.1 Lubrication
Check the oil level annually by unscrewing oil fill
plug (Figure 7-1). Oil level should be near the
bottom of the hole.
When adding oil, fill the reservoir through the
plug hole with hydraulic jack oil, until oil comes
to bottom of hole, or begins to slightly seep out
of the fill hole. Do not overfill.
After filling, reinstall plug, then bleed the pump
(see sect. 8.3).
Lubricate pivot points on load wheel frames, as
needed. Do not get oil directly on load wheels.
Also lubricate pivot points on the yoke, such as
the one shown in Figure 7-1.
Figure 7-1
7.2 Cleaning relief valve
(“Bleeding the Pump”)
Over time the relief valve assembly may become
clogged with debris or develop air pockets. This
can result in improper lifting, lifting only half-way,
or similar symptoms.
To clean the relief valve:
1. Hold lever in raised position (fork lowering
position) and pump handle quickly 10 to 12
times.
2. Move lever to lower position, and pump the
handle to raise forks to fullest height.
3. Repeat if necessary.
7.3 Adjusting relief cam
1. Place handle lever in neutral position.
2. Loosen #50 hex nut (#46 for 1636JB).
3. Adjust #49 (#45 for 1636JB) socket set
screw while pumping the handle.
4. The cam is properly adjusted when pumping
handle in neutral position causes no
movement.
5. Re-tighten hex nut #50 (#46 for 1636JB) to
secure the setting.
7.4 O-Ring and seal replacements
IMPORTANT: Repairs and seal ring
replacements should be performed only by
qualified personnel. Also, certain procedures
may require specialized tools. You can locate
the nearest authorized JET Service Center on
our website: www.jettools.com.
Numbers in parentheses refer to index numbers
in the parts breakdowns, sect. 10.0.
7.4.1 Ram piston and plunger piston
1. Raise the forks to maximum height by
pumping handle.
2. Remove #54 socket head screw (#66 for
1636JB) to release the piston assembly from
the top of the frame.
3. Turn the pallet truck on its side. Remove the
steer wheels and wheel shaft. Remove the
Retaining Ring #46 (#56 for 1636JB). This
will free the pump and handle assembly
from the platform.
4. Turn the pallet truck upright. Remove drain
plug (see Figure 7-1) and empty the oil into
a suitable container. Pump handle until all oil
has drained.
7
5. Pull out piston rod assembly #29 (#35 for
1636JB). If plunger piston #22 (#40) is to be
pulled out, remove handle assembly to
access.
6. Remove all O-Rings & Seals.
7. Insert new O-Ring or Seal one at a time
making sure to replace with the same size
that was removed. (Order appropriate JET
seal kit.)
8. Re-assemble.
9. Refill oil to bottom of fill hole with hydraulic
jack oil. Install oil fill plug.
7.4.2 Valve cartridge
1. Remove drain plug (see Figure 7-1), and
empty the oil into a suitable container. Pump
handle until all oil has drained.
2. Tap out roll pin #52 (#51 for 1636JB).
3. Remove relief cam #51 (#47 for 1636JB).
4. Unscrew and remove valve assembly #36
(#16~22 for 1636JB).
5. Install new valve assembly (see sect. 10.0
for part number) and tighten.
6. Install relief cam with roll pin.
7. Refill oil to bottom of fill hole with hydraulic
jack oil. Install oil fill plug.

adjustment.
Relief cam or chain element broken. Replace affected elements.
Broken fork rods and linkage.
Relief cam nut on the chain (#10) is not
positioned correctly.
Make sure there is no oil leakage from
valve, and add oil.
Place the lever in the down position and
pump the handle repeatedly.

adjust valve using the set screw (#49).
Refer to “Adjusting Relief Cam.”
Inspect linkages for breaks or cracks.
Replace elements as needed.
Adjust the nut on the chain assembly.
Truck doesn’t roll
smoothly or evenly.
