OPERATION

Visually inspect stacker for damaged and worn parts, before
stacker is taken into operation. Authorized person should read
and understand all instructions

The lifting truck is ready for immediate use once the packaging has been removed.

 The battery is full and charged.
 The hydraulic tank is full.
 The driving gear is filled with oil filling for approx. 200 operation hours.
 The steering roller and the running rollers are equipped with bearings which do

not require maintenance; all mast rollers are also free from maintenance.

Caution!

Pedestrian controlled industrial trucks may only be operated by persons who
have been satisfactorily instructed in operating the truck and have proved their
ability to operate the truck to the responsible representative of the operating

company.
The first driving attempts should take place on level and spacious surfaces.

Recommendation:

The operator who is to maneuver the truck and is to control the lifting
mechanism should be allowed to practice, when unloaded, until they can
safely operate these functions.
Only then should they undertake the loading, transporting and unloading of
load.

Operation

Driving

 Pull up the red push button of the E-switch
 Tilt the Control handle to driving position, the

locking brake is released

 If you release Control handle, this returns to the

vertical start position, the truck brakes and the
locking brake activates

 The truck is steered via the Control handle

Brake:

This stacker is equipped with a magnetic brake
that is applied between 10-15 degrees of the
vertical position and between 85 -90 degrees of the
lower position in the vertical operating of the
handle. The brake can be operated at any point in
the lateral operating of the handle. When you
release your hand from the handle, it will resume
neutral position automatically, and will activate the
brake. Always make sure that the brake is in work
before operating the stacker. When parked, always
put the handle in the full vertical position with the
brake applied and forks lowered.

Horn:

A horn is located on top of the handle.

13

To raise and lower

The following are generally valid for the lifting and lowering procedure:

 The red operating button of the EMERGENCY STOP pushbutton must be pulled

upwards

 Lifting and lowering movements are initiated by pressing the pushbuttons on the

handle head.

There are four buttons located on the two sides of the handle. Each side
of the control has one button for raising the forks and one button for lowering
the forks. Always make sure when lifting that the load is within the capacity
rating of your truck and that the load has been stacked safely on the pallet.
Also, make sure that there is no one standing near the forks when raising or
lowering. It is also important to make sure that the length of the forks
corresponds to the opening in the bottom of the pallet. The load rollers must
be placed between boards so when you raise the forks, the pallet will not be
broken or damaged. Always make sure when entering the pallet that the forks
are in the fully lowered position. Be careful when lifting pallets that are too
short or too long for the truck

Warning

It is forbidden to climb or reach into any moving parts of the lifting truck-e.g. the
lifting frame, thrust units, lifting mechanisms etc.

14

Travel

The butterfly switch controls the direction and speed of the lift truck.

Rotating the butterfly control towards the forks moves the truck in the forward
direction. Rotating the butterfly control away from the forks, moves the truck
in the reverse direction. The control is progressive – the further you rotate the
control, the faster the truck will travel.

DIRECTIONAL SPEED CONTROL THROTTLE

Emergency reverse safety button

At the top of the handle is a red safety reverse button. The button is
designed to change the travel direction away from the operator when
depressed. The truck will stop moving away from the operator when the
button is released. When the fork truck is traveling forward (away from the
operator) the button has no effect when activated.
If the belly switch becomes jammed or stuck, it will move forward (away
from the operator) for a maximum of 3 seconds at which time the control circuit
will become disabled until the handle is re-set to the full up or full down position
and the belly switch is returned to normal operation.

Lifting load

CAUTION!

 Before lifting a load to be transported, ensure that the

load does not exceed the carrying capacity of the
truck.

 The nominal carrying capacity and lifting heights can

be viewed in the load diagram.

 Ensure that the load can be taken up in a compact and

stable manner. Slipping or falling of the load must be
avoided.

 The load must not project into the lifting frame.
 The load must be centered and evenly distributed on

the forks.

 The load must not project more than 50mm over the

end of the lifting forks.

Transporting the load

CAUTION!

 Raise the load only slightly to transport
 For safety reasons (view) transport only in a forward

direction

 Only when lifting up or lowering down the load it is

permissible to drive forwards or in reverse with a
raised load

 Lift up or lower down loads on level surfaces
 When unloaded, move stacker only with forks lowered

Maintenance and repair

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE -- ______

Warning: Before performing any task, always block drive wheel off of the ground.

Consult the factory for problems at time of installation, or for any problems not addressed
below.

Problem: Possible cause(s): Action:

Unit doesn’t move when controls are

used.

Unit will not charge

Unit will not go forward; reverse

works; belly switch just kills unit
(does not go forward and time out)

Unit will not go reverse; belly switch

works (i.e. when the handle is in
operating range and rotating
throttle in reverse and the belly
switch is hit, the unit moves
forward and times out)

Battery voltage low (<17)

Problem with motor controller
(check for LED flash code on side
of controller)

Fuse blown

Charger malfunction

Bad batteries

Broken wire, or loose connection

Contactor bad, motor controller bad

Broken wire, or loose connection,

contactor bad, motor controller
bad

Charge batteries.

Consult diagnostics
page/factory

Remove back shroud and check
fuses (3 fuses).

Verify output voltage on charger,

will only get a reading when
connected to batteries; should be
approximately 28 volts.

Load test batteries

Locate Pin 2 on Molex connector at

motor controller. Trace wiring to
contactor and verify connection.

When forward is depressed, there

should be 24 volts on this wire
from Molex connector to the
contactor, if not, the motor
controller may be bad; consult
diagnostics page/factory. If 24
volts is present at contactor,
verify ground connection. If
ground is good, remove both wires
and check with ohm meter;
resistance should be
approximately 38 ohms. If it’s
open or zero, the contactor should
be replaced.

Same as above; except locate Pin 3

on Molex connector on motor
controller…and follow procedure.
