3.0 Safety warnings
1. Read and understand the entire owner's manual before attempting assembly or operation of the pallet

these warnings may cause serious injury.
3. Replace the warning labels if they become obscured or removed.

4.0 Introduction
To better understand the proper use and safe operation of this pallet truck, please take a few minutes to
carefully read and follow the instructions contained in this manual. When finished reading and understanding
the manual, please file in a safe and convenient location for the life of the pallet truck. If the pallet truck
transfers ownership, the manual should accompany it.
This pallet truck is designed to push and pull palletized material loads up to 5,000 pounds only.
You will notice several important features about your JET Pallet Truck. For example, its 2-1/2” lowered height
and tapered fork tips allow easy entry into pallets. The heavy-gauge steel frame is reinforced with cross-welded
steel plates to prevent forks from bending and solid steel push rods are used for added strength. The pump
features top-of-the-stroke and overload by-pass valve systems. A durable powder coat finish provides long
lasting steel protection. Extra wide polyurethane covered steel steer wheels and nylon load wheels feature
lifetime lubricated, double sealed bearings to provide smooth, quiet rolling and added stability.
If there are questions or comments, please contact your local supplier or JET. JET can also be reached at our
