3. Performance specifications
3.1 Intended use
The pallet jack has two fixed forks for holding pallets. Pumping the handle builds up pressure in the
built-in hydraulic cylinder to raise the forks.
Pressing the handling reduces the hydraulic pressure, and the forks go back down.
When the handle is in the middle position the forks remain at their height and are secured against
further movement.
The pallet jack should be used only to transport intrinsically stable objects, in particular pallets of
various sizes.
Other loads, animals or humans must never be lifted or transported with the pallet jack. Vehicles
should never be raised or moved using the pallet jack.
Never overload the pallet jack beyond the load specified in the following table.
The manufacturer shall not be liable for damages caused by failure to comply with generally
accepted regulations as well as the instructions in this manual, including insufficient maintenance.
The manufacturer is not liable for any damages.

4. Assembly
Minor assembly is required if you purchased the pallet jack in shipping packaging. You will need tools
(hammer, pliers, wrench/spanner etc.), an arbour with hole (105), two roll pins (106) (one of which is
in the arbour (105)). These items are in a plastic bag on the drawbar.
