INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION
When the stacker arrives on a pallet the following steps
are to be followed:
2). To lower lift, press release pedal down. Pressure on
release pedal controls speed of descent of load.
S E C T I O N 5
1. Through the use of a forklift or overhead hoist, pick
the stacker unit up taking into consideration the center
of gravity. The center of gravity of the unit should be
adequately supported.
2. Once the unit is lifted from the pallet by a couple of
inches, remove the pallet from under the stacker.
3. Follow the next sections to ensure proper operation.
S E C T I O N 4
OPERATION
METHOD OF OPERATION:
In order to operate the lift follow these operating procedures.
1). To raise the platform or forks, pump foot pedal until
platform reaches desired height.
MAINTENANCE
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE:
1). Grease wheels and casters at least once a month to
maintain easy roll of lift.
2). Do not overload the lift. All foot operated Presto
Manual Stackers have a maximum rated capacity
of 1000 lbs.
3). Use only hydraulic oil in the hydraulic system.
NEVER USE HYDRAULIC BRAKE FLUID.
Table 1 – Hydraulic Oil Specications
If the lift will be used at normal ambient temperatures, Presto Lifts supplies the unit with Conoco Super Hydraulic
32 oil. This may be replaced by any other good quality oil with 150 SSU at 100° F and rust and oxidation inhibitors
and anti-wear properties.
If the lift will be used at ambient temperatures below 0°F, use aircraft hydraulic oil. Use Type 15 aircraft hydraulic oil.
The following are equivalent to Conoco Super Hydraulic 32:
TYPE MANUFACTURER
AW32 .......................................... CITGO
DTE 24 ....................................... EXXON/MOBIL
NUTO H32 ................................. EXXON/MOBIL
AMOCO AW32 ........................... CHEVRON (AMOCO CO.)
CAUTION!
It is very important to keep the hydraulic oil free of dirt, dust, metal chips, water, and other
contamination. Most of the problems with hydraulic systems are caused by contamination in the oil.
