APPLICABLE NATIONAL STANDARDS

This product is a rough terrain lift truck. The Industrial Truck Standards Development Foundation (ITSDF) publishes national standard ANSI/ITSDF B56.6 (the “Standard”) on its website (www.itsdf.org

). The standard is freely downloadable at http://www.itsdf.org/cue/b56-standards.html. Before putting your pallet truck into service, acquire a copy of the Standard and apply all recommendations in Part II: For the User. If instructions provided in this manual conflicts with instructions in the Standard, then you should apply the instructions in the Standard.

SIGNAL WORDS

This manual uses SIGNAL WORDS to direct the reader’s attention to important safety-related messages. These messages describe uses of the product that could result in personal injury or property damage. Each signal word corresponds to a specific hazard level. The following are definitions of signal words that might appear in this manual.

Identifies a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, WILL result in DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY. Use of this signal word is limited to the most extreme situations.

Identifies a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, COULD result in DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY.

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, COULD result in MINOR or MODERATE injury

Identifies practices likely to result in product/property damage, such as operation that might damage the product.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Vestil strives to identify all foreseeable hazards associated with the use of its products. However, material handling is dangerous and no manual can address every risk. Ultimately the most effective way to prevent injury is for the operator to apply sound judgment whenever using this device.

Improper or careless operation of this device might result in serious personal injuries.

• Read and understand this entire manual before using or servicing this pallet truck. Read the manual whenever necessary to refresh your understanding of proper operation and maintenance procedures. An instruction manual for the gasoline motor is provided with this unit. Read the entire manual before operating the truck for the first time.

• DO NOT exceed the capacity of your unit. Capacity information is provided in the Specifications tables on pages 2 & 3. The truck is also labeled with its capacity. See label 287 in Labeling Diagram on p. 25.

• Inspect the truck as directed in Inspections and Maintenance on pages 5-6. DO NOT use the device unless it is in satisfactory condition. See Record of Satisfactory Condition on p. 7.

• NEVER park the truck on sloped terrain. Only park on level ground. Always apply the parking brake whenever the truck is stopped.

• Only use this product to lift and move palletized loads.

• Completely engage loads with forks. Fork length should be at least two-thirds of length of the parallel dimension

of the pallet.

• DO NOT allow people to ride on the truck or the load.

• Ascend and descend grades slowly. Do not traverse grades of more than 7%. The forks should only be raised as

far as necessary to clear the road surface. Travel straight up and down the grade, i.e. avoid turning on grades. If your pallet truck is equipped with the powered tilt feature (-PT in model name), make sure that the carriage is not tilted forward whenever crossing grades. Traverse grades with the forks downgrade from you.

• If the load obstructs forward view, travel with the load trailing.

• Any load applied to the forks must be centered and evenly distributed on a pallet.

• Only use the truck if you are familiar with the controls. Start, stop, turn, and reverse directions smoothly to shifting

the load. Sudden shifting could cause the load and truck to overturn.

• Reduce speed during turns. Turn slowly and carefully.

• Avoid running over loose objects on the roadway surface.

• DO NOT modify the truck in any way without express, written approval from Vestil. Unapproved modifications

automatically void the Limited Warranty on p. 26 and might make the product unsafe to use.

• DO NOT use this product UNLESS every label shown in the Labeling diagram on p. 25 is in place, undamaged, and easily readable.

(yellow)

Startup procedure

1. Find the choke and throttle controls for the motor. Apply the engine startup procedure in the motor manufacturer’s instruction manual.

2. Squeeze the kill switch against the handle with one hand. Pull the engine starter cord with the other hand.

3. After the engine starts, set the choke switch to the open position and allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes.

4. Set the engine throttle to the desired speed: increasing the throttle increases the speed and vice versa.

Propulsion (Driving the Truck)

a. To move forward, squeeze the right side of the direction control lever towards the top of the handle. The further the

lever is moved the faster the unit moves. Release the lever to stop.

b. To move in reverse, squeeze the left side of the lever towards the top of the handle. c. Practice shifting between forward and reverse.

NOTE: Do not quickly shift from forward to reverse or vice versa. Sudden shifts can damage the transaxle.

d. When moving heavy loads, i.e. loads close to the unit’s capacity, drive slowly. Driving slowly decreases the load on

the engine.

Steering

Steer the unit by swinging the handle to one side or the other. While turning, the rpm’s of the outer drive wheel increase and the rpm’s of the inner drive wheel decrease. When turning sharply in one direction or the other, the difference between rpm’s of the wheels is greater (i.e. the outer wheel turns much faster than the inner wheel).

FORK CARRIAGE CONTROLS

A. Raising and lowering the carriage

1. Raise the forks: (continues on following page)

a. Grasp the knob of the fork carriage control lever and push it forward i.e. away from you/towards the truck.

The hydraulic cylinder extends and causes the carriage to rise.

b. Releasing the lever causes to cylinder to stop extending. The cylinder maintains position wherever it stops.

Release the control lever as soon as the desired load elevation is achieved.

NOTE: Do not continue to hold the control lever when the cylinder is completely extended. The hydraulic fluid could overheat and cause permanent damage to the hydraulic system.

2. Lower the fork carriage: The engine does not have to be running to lower the carriage.

a. Pull the control lever towards you. b. The carriage descends at a controlled speed. Releasing the lever causes the carriage to stop. It maintains

position wherever it stops. Lowering speed is adjustable. However, the lowering speed is optimized at the factory. Do not change the lowering speed without approval from, and guidance by, Technical Service.

If the carriage lowers too quickly, a safety device in the cylinder, called a velocity fuse, closes. When the fuse is closed, hydraulic fluid cannot flow from the cylinder to the reservoir. The cylinder cannot retract and the carriage does not lower. If this happens, you must reset the velocity fuse by raising the hitch.

B. Tilting the carriage

Units equipped with the powered tilt feature (“-PT” appears in the

model designation) have two control levers.

1. The lever on the left controls up-and-down movement.

2. The lever on the left controls carriage tilt. a. Push the lever forward to activate a second cylinder. This

cylinder pushes the top of the carriage forward, which causes the fork tips to drop.

b. Pull back the lever to raise the tips and level the forks.

Before engaging the load:

1. Release the direction control lever.

2. Adjust the engine throttle to mid-speed.

3. Align the forks (on the carriage) with the fork channels in the pallet. The forks must be centered on the carriage.

4. Adjust the elevation of the forks with the Raise/Lower lever.

Mount the pallet on the forks:

1. Drive forward and insert the forks through the pallet. Insert the forks all-the-way. Fork length should be at least 2/3’s of the parallel dimension of the pallet.

2. Raise the forks to elevate the pallet a few inches above the ground. Do not raise the forks any higher than necessary.

3. Drive the load to the desired location. Instructions for driving and steering the truck are provided in Operating the

Truck on p. 5.

4. Set the pallet on the ground by lowering the forks. When the pallet rests on the ground, extract the forks from the pallet by driving the truck in reverse.

DISENGAGING THE TRANSMISSION (NEUTRAL MODE)

The unit can be moved manually by putting the transmission into neutral. This decouples the drive wheels from the transaxle. To put the transmission into neutral:

1. Locate the transaxle release lever.

2. Push the lever in and down until it seats inside the release bracket. To put the transmission back into drive mode, lift the lever and pull it towards you.

RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION

Before using the product for the first time, make a record of its appearance and functions. Cycle the

carriage/forks up and down. Describe the motion (e.g. smooth and at a uniform rate). Drive the unit in forward and in reverse. Describe the motion. Thoroughly photograph the unit from multiple angles including all labeling applied to it. Each feature listed in Inspect the following components (below) should be photographed in detail. Describe where each label is located. Collate all photographs and writings into a file. Mark the file appropriately to identify it. This record documents the truck in satisfactory condition. Compare the results of all inspections to this record to determine if the unit is in satisfactory condition. Do not use it unless it is in satisfactory condition. Purely cosmetic changes, like damaged paint/powder coat do not constitute changes from normal condition. However, touchup paint should be applied to all affected areas as soon as damage occurs. Contact Technical Service (contact information appears on the cover page) if you have questions that are not addressed in these instructions.

2. Drive chain (one for each drive wheel): every other oil change, inspect the chains. To access the chains, remove the cover plates fastened to both ends of the drive housing. Refer to the appropriate Sprocket Drive Subassembly on

pages 23 and 24.

A. Check the tension of both chains. They should not be

taut but also should not be so loose that they slap against the housing or jump on the sprockets. Adjust the chains by applying pressure to the hex head with a wrench while loosening the lock nut.

B. Check set screws on the front and rear sprockets,

drive shaft coupling, motor pulley, and pump pulley. Confirm that the set screws are tight. Tighten all loose screws. Apply thread locker to keep connections tight.

C. The front wheel sprocket should line up with the axle

sprocket

D. Lubricate the drive chains with spray grease as

needed, e.g. if the drive train becomes noisy.

3. At least once per month, remove the drive belt guard. Determine the condition of the drive belt (Exploded Views on pages 9-17; part number 50-042-008; 50-042-009; or 50-042-

010) and drive pulley (part number 50-027-003; or 50-027-

004). Unseat the belt from the drive pulleys to relieve belt tension. Then, examine the pump assembly (part number 50643-012 or 50-643-001): Idler pulley on top of the pump as well as the pump bearings and shaft. Look for damage and significant wear. Replace any component that is significantly worn, in particular, the belt.

4. Check the hydraulic system. a. Before each use:

i. Cycle the carriage all the way up and then all the way down. Movement should be smooth in both

directions, i.e. no binding, jumps, skips.

ii. Check the hydraulic hoses for signs of wear, kinks, cuts, etc. Replace damaged hoses.

b. At least once per month, examine the hydraulic oil. The oil reservoir is located next to the hydraulic pump.

First, fully lower the carriage. Remove the brass fill plug from the top of the reservoir and examine the oil. Change the oil if it darkens, becomes gritty, or has a milky appearance (indicating that water is present). Replace the oil with AW-32 hydraulic fluid or its equivalent.

c. Before each use,

5. Before each use make sure all labels are in place & in readable condition. See Labeling diagram on p. 25.

6. Periodically clean dirt and debris from all surfaces to keep the finish in good condition. Store the unit indoors.
