SELECTED OSHA REGULATIONS FOR LIFT TRUCKS 12

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Always follow your facility’s rules regarding wearing Personal Protective Equipment such as safety

shoes and protective glasses whenever operating, working with, or assembling or dismantling

hand pallet trucks.

DELIVERY INSPECTION

Visually inspect hand pallet truck frame components and hydraulic unit for damage during

shipment by carrier. If damage is evident, notify delivering carrier immediately and file necessary

claims. Test the hand pallet truck pump for proper operation.

If the hydraulic pump does not respond to movement of the handle, an air lock may have

developed during shipping. To remedy this, go to the user friendly TROUBLESHOOTING

guide in this manual.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

(Read and understand prior to using this product)

To raise the load, push

down on the fingertip

control. Pump the

handle to raise the load

from the floor.

NOTE: The neutral position

disengages the pump from the

lifting mechanism. This frees

the handle, which makes

pulling loads easier. In addition,

the pump is not subject to shock

pressures while the truck is in

motion.

To lower the load, pull

up on the fingertip

control.

For free handle

movement, place the

fingertip control in the

neutral position.

SAFETY PROCEDURES

(Read and understand prior to using this product)

• Read and obey all labels on this product. If you have any questions about these, ask your

supervisor.

• Do not operate this hand pallet truck unless you are authorized and trained to do so.

• Never overload your hand pallet truck. Stay within its rated capacity.

• Do not operate this truck if damaged or not in proper working order.

• Distribute the load evenly on the forks. Do not concentrate loads at one point or load one fork

more than the other.

• When the load impairs visibility, the hand pallet lift truck should be pulled and not pushed.

• Always look where you are operating. Keep a clear view.

• Only handle loads on flat level surfaces. Do not use a loaded truck on inclines or declines.

• Never carry passengers.

• Never put your feet, hands, or any other body part under the frame assembly.

• Always yield right of way to pedestrians.

• Do not allow your hand pallet truck to drop from one level to another. Even a drop of 1 in.

(25 mm) more than doubles the effective load momentarily and results in a loading that can

bend or break components.

• Move loads only with the hand pallet truck in its lowest position.

• Always make sure that the load is stable before moving to eliminate the opportunity for load

shift.

• Use extreme care when rounding corners. Too fast a speed could cause a hand pallet lift truck to

tip. If loaded, the load could shift and fall.

• When not in use, fully lower the forks.

DAILY INSPECTION

At the start of your shift, check the items listed below. Report any malfunctions or unsafe conditions

to your supervisor. Do not use this product until it is repaired.

MAINTENANCE

LUBRICATION

All pivot points are equipped with permanently lubricated bushings and bearings. To increase

bearing life, it is recommended that a few drops of light machine oil be applied at each pivot point

every 6 months. The thrust plate is equipped with three grease fittings. Apply grease under normal

conditions every 6 months.

PUSH BAR LINKAGE ADJUSTMENT

If the forks do not rise evenly at the tips, or the roller levers begin to drag on the floor, the following

adjustment is necessary:

LCR55 MODEL

• Turn the hand pallet truck over so that the underside of the forks are accessible.

• Remove one split pin (PN-20269B) with a 3/16 in. punch.

• Remove the pin (PN-20227) from the bracket.

• Adjust the eyebolts (PN-20226). Turn counterclockwise to raise the fork tips and clockwise to

lower the fork tips.

• Replace the pin (PN-20227, through the eyebolt and replace the split pin (PN-20269B).

• When adjusted properly, the forks should be 3 in. low height from ground level in the lowered

position.

LCS55 MODEL

• Turn the hand pallet truck over so that the underside of the forks are accessible.

• Remove one split pin (PL-20269) with a 3/16 in. punch.

• Remove the pin (PL-20227) from the bracket.

• Adjust the eyebolts (PL-20226). Turn counterclockwise to raise the fork tips and clockwise to

lower the fork tips.

• Replace the pin (PL-20227), through the eyebolt and replace the split pin (PL-20269).

• When adjusted properly, the forks should be 3 in. (LCS) low height from ground level in the

lowered position.

MAINTENANCE (CONT.)

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

Your hydraulic system is maintenance free. Do not add hydraulic oil unless there is, or was, a leak.

Use Premium HVI hydraulic oil or equal. Other oils, fluids, or solvents may damage your hydraulic

system. If you suspect additional oil is required, follow these steps:

1. Check for and fix any possible oil leaks.

2. Lower the truck and load with 600 lbs. (approximate).

3. Pump the truck to its maximum lift height.

4. Measure the vertical height of the exposed piston (215030) and refer to the chart below.

ADDING OIL (IF REQUIRED)

1. Place and secure the truck on its right side (release valve facing the floor).

2. Pull up on the release lever (PL-40274BDM) and extend the lift piston fully.

3. Remove screw (221586) and add the amount of oil determined by the chart in step 4.

4. Reinstall screw (221586) but do not tighten. Leave a 1/32 in. gap.

5. Pull up on the release lever (PL-40274BDM) and collapse the lift piston until oil starts to

ooze from the screw.

CAUTION! - It is extremely important that step 5 is performed. Otherwise, air in

the pump can force out the wiper seal (20066). Take care when adding oil not to

introduce impurities into the hydraulic system.

6. Tighten the screw (221586) fully and return the truck upright.
