2. TO ATTACH HANDLE TO PUMP UNIT
2.1 Remove 3 bolts (D611) from the handle bracket (D151).
2.2 Set handle (D610A, D610B or D610AS) o n the bracket (D151), notice to allow th e chain (D612)
and the adjusting bolts (D614) assembly to p ass through the hole in the c enter of the bracket (D151)
and shaft (D153).
2.3 Insert the 3 bolts (D611) through th e handle into the bra cket (D151), then tight en them securely.
2.4 Raise the lever plat (D132) and insert the adjusting bolt (D614) into the front slot, keeping the
adjusting nut (D615) on the under side of the lever plat (D132).
3. TO ADJUST RELEASE DEVICE
On the draw-bar of this pallet truck, you can find the contr ol h andl e (D608 or D608S) wh ic h can be
regulated in three positions:
Raise - handle down
Drive position - handle in center position
Lower - handle up, the lever moves back the drive position when released.
If however they have been changed, you can adjust according to following step:
3.1 If the forks elevate while pumping in the DRIVE position, turn the adjusting nut (D615) on the
adjusting bolt (D614) or adjusting screw (D133) clockwise until pumping action does not raise the
forks and the DRIVE position functions properly.
3.2 If the forks descend while pumping in the DRIVE position, tur n the nut (D615) or adjusting screw
1
Page 3
(D133) counter-clockwise until the forks do not lower.
3.3 If the forks do not descent when the control handle (D608 or D608S) is in the LOWER po siti on,
turn the nut (D615) or adjusting screw(D133) clockwise until raising the control handle(D608 or
D608S) lowers the forks. Then check the DRIVE position according to item 3.1 and 3.2 to be sure
the nut (D615) or adjusting screw (D133) is in the proper position.
3.4 If the forks do not elevate while pumpin g in the RAISE position, turn the nut (D615) or adjusting
screw (D133) counter-clockwise until the forks elevate while pumping in the RAISE position. Then
check the LOWER and DRIVE position according to item 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3.
4. MAINTENANCE
Your pallet truck is largely maintenance-free.
4.1 OIL
Please check the oil level every six months. The oil capacity is about 0.317 quarts. Use the
hydraulic type oil according to temperature scale below.
Temperature Oil
-4°F~+104°F L-HV46 Hydraulic oil
4.2 HOW TO BLEED AIR FROM THE PUMP UNIT
The air may come into the hydraulic oil because of transportation or pump in upset position. It can
cause that the forks do not elevate while pumpi ng in the RAISE position. The air can be banished in
the following way: let the control hand le (D608 or D608S) on t he LOWER position, then move the
handle (D610A, D610B or D610AS) up and down for several times.
4.3 DAILY CHECK AND MAINTENANCE
Daily check of the pallet truck ca n limit wear a s much a s possibl e. Special attention should be p aid
to the wheels, the axles, as thread, rags, etc. It may block the wheels. The forks should be
unloaded and lowered in the lowest position when the job is over.
4.4 LUBRICATION
Use motor oil or grease to lubricate all moveable parts.
