aTTach draW Bar To PumP
In order to attach the draw bar to the pump, you need a hammer, pliers, a spanner and the
parts provided with the pallet truck. Please see the drawing below and on page 8, 9 and 10 for
instructions and make sure that the number of the draw bar and pump are the same.
1. Draw bar
2. Pin
3. Axle
4. Roll pin
5. Fork frame

Insert the draw bar onto the pump piston (303) and use a hammer to insert the axle into the
hydraulic pump and handle (from right to left).
 
Set the control handle (117) to the LOWER
position and pass the adjusting nut (104),
adjusting bolt (103) and chain through the hole
of the axle.

Press the draw bar down and remove the pin (2).

Set the controle handle (117) to the RAISE
position. Raise the lever plate (319) with
the pin (2) and insert the adjusting bolt
(103) into the front slot of the lever plate.
Please note to keep the adjusting nut (104)
at the bottom on the lever plate.

Use a hammer to tap the roll pin (106) into
the hole of the axle (105). The draw bar is
now attached to the pump.

adJuST releaSe device
On the draw bar of your pallet truck, you will find the control handle (117) which can be regulated
in three positions.
RAISE = handle down to raise the forks
DRIVE = handle in centre position to move the load
LOWER = handle up to lower the forks
These three positions are pre positioned at the factory. If however they have been changed you
can adjust the settings accordingly.
If the forks elevate while pumping in the DRIVE position, turn the adjusting nut (104) on the
adjusting bolt (103) or screw (318) clockwise until pumping action does not raise the forks and
the DRIVE position functions properly.
If the forks descend while pumping in the DRIVE position, turn the nut (104) or screw (318)
counter clockwise until the forks do not lower.
If the forks do not descend when the control handle (117) is in the LOWER position, turn the nut
(104) or screw (318) clockwise until rasing the control handle (117) lowers the forks. Check the
DRIVE position to be sure the nut (104) or screw (318) is in the proper position.
If the forks do not elevate while pumping in the RAISE position, turn the nut (104) or screw
(318) counter clockwise until the forks elevate while pumping in the RAISE position. Check the
LOWER and DRIVE postion.
MaIntEnancE
Your pallet truck is largely maintenance-free.
oil
Please check the oil level every six months. The oil capacity is 0.4lt. Use hydraulic oil: ISO VG32;
the viscosity should be 30cSt at 40oC.
hoWTo exPel air From The PumP uniT
Air may enter the hydraulic oil during transportation or if the unit is tipped over. This may cause
the forks not to elevate while pumping in the RAISE position. Air can be removed by doing the
following: move the control handle (117) to the LOWER position, then move the draw bar up and
down several times.

daily check and mainTenance
Daily checks of the pallet truck can limit wear as much as possible. Special attention should
be paid to all moving parts; including wheels and axles, to ensure no foreign objects have been
picked up which may damage or hinder movement or safe operation.The forks should be unloaded
and lowered to the lowest position after each job is finished.
luBricaTion
All bearings and shafts are prepared with long-life grease at the factory. Lubrication with long-life
grease is needed at monthly intervals or after the truck is cleaned thoroughly at the lubrication points.
trouBlE sHootInG
NOTE: Do not attempt to repair the pallet truck unless you are trained and authorised to do so.
