3.1 If the forks elevate while pumping in the DRIVE position, turn the adjusting nut

(L117A) on the adjusting bolt (L116A) 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

(L117A) 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 (L117A) 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 (L117A) 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 0.3 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.
