OPERATION

1. If the forks elevate while pumping in the NEUTRAL
position, turn the setting screw clockwise until
pumping the handle does not raise the forks and the
NEUTRAL position functions correctly.

2. If the forks descend while pumping in the NEUTRAL
position, turn the setting screw counterclockwise until
the forks do not lower.

3. If the forks do not descend when the control lever is in
the LOWER position, turn the setting screw clockwise
until raising the control lever lowers the forks. Then
check the NEUTRAL position as per step 1 and 2.

4. If the forks do not lift while pumping in the RAISE
position, turn the setting screw counterclockwise
until the forks elevate while pumping in the RAISED
position. Then check the NEUTRAL and LOWER
position as per steps 1, 2 and 3.

NOTE: When viewing the truck from the handle

- LOWER = to lower the forks

- NEUTRAL = to move the load

- RAISE = to raise the forks

side, the setting screw is located on the right
side of the pump above the right wheel. The
truck will lower faster or slower depending on
how far in or out the screw is adjusted.

MAINTENANCE

OIL

Check the oil level every six months. The oil capacity is
about 0.3L. Restore the fluid level in the reservoir to 5mm

below the top; this must be done with the forks in the
lowered position.

Use the hydraulic oil ISO VG 32 or equivalent.
Oil viscosity should be 30cSt at 104° (40ºC).

HOW TO EXPEL AIR FROM THE PUMP UNIT

Air may enter the unit over time or when the seals are

replaced. To expel the air, lift the control lever to the
LOWER position and pump the handle up and down
several times.

SAFETY

For safe operation, please read all warning signs and

instructions here and on the pallet truck prior to use.

1. Do not operate the pallet truck unless you are familiar

with it and have been trained and authorized to do so.

2. Do not use the truck on sloping ground.

3. Never place any part of your body in the lifting

mechanism or under the forks or load. Do not carry
passengers.

4. Operators should wear gloves and safety shoes.

5. Do not handle unstable or loosely stacked loads.

DAILY CHECK AND MAINTENANCE

Daily checks of the pallet truck can limit wear and tear
on the unit. Pay special attention to the wheels, axles,
handle, forks and lift and lower controls.

LUBRICATION

Use motor oil or grease to lubricate all movable parts.

6. Do not overload the truck.

7. Always center loads on the forks, not at the end of the
forks. (See Figure 2)

8. The capacity of the truck assumes an evenly
distributed load with the center of the load being at
the halfway point of the length of the forks.
(See Figure 2)

9. Make sure that length of the forks matches the length
of the pallet load. (See Figure 2)

10. Lower the forks to lowest height when the truck is not
being used.
