Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of a JET “W” Series Premium Pallet Truck.
To better understand the proper use and safe operation of this pallet truck, please take a few

minutes to carefully read and follow the instructions contained in this manual. When finished
reading and understanding the manual, please file in a safe and convenient location for the life of
the pallet truck.

You will notice several important features about your JET Premium Pallet Truck. It features a 2­7/8” lowered height, rounded fork tips and nylon entry/exit rollers to provide easy entry and exit of
pallets.

A large, easy-to-use ergonomic handle with a 200° turning radius allows maximum
maneuverability. The articulated steer wheel axle helps maintain floor contact on uneven
surfaces.

The cast iron pump design features top-of-the-stroke and overload by-pass systems, hardened
and chromed ram and piston, and a single point valve service for easy replacement. A special
lowering valve allows you to control the rate of descent and prevent “shock” loads.

Your JET Premium Pallet Truck is designed and built to give you years of trouble-free service
with minimum maintenance and service attention.
