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 the hand pallet truck frame components and hydraulic unit for damage during

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

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)

Do not use the PST23 in wet environments or in places with extreme temperature variations.

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 hand pallet 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.

1. Before using the hand pallet truck, make sure that the

assist wire [B] is free from damage.

2. When required, inspect the condition of the start

assist wire and adjust wire tension [C].

3. Prior to using the start assistance feature, set the

hydraulic lowering handle [Item 1] to the neutral

position.

4. Move the start assistance lever up or down [Item 2]

depending on the travel direction. When moving the

lever down, be sure to first release the catch [Item 3].

5. When not using this feature, set the start assistance

lever to the neutral position [Item 4].

WARNING! - Energy released in control handle.

Incorrect use may result in injuries and damage to the hand pallet truck.

Never use the start assistance feature to brake the hand pallet truck. When the

hand pallet truck is moving, never set the start assistance lever to the opposite

position of the travel direction.

Risk of pinching. Never put your finger under the locking catch.

Additionally, never hold the hands around the start assistance link arm.

6. Clean and lubricate the start assistance assembly inside in case of malfunction (blocking/

seizure of wheels and/or handle).

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 hand pallet 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 truck should be pulled and not pushed.

•Alwayslook where you are operating. Keep a clear view.

• Only handle loads on flat level surfaces. Do not use a loaded hand pallet 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.

•Alwaysmake 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 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 malfunction or unsafe conditions

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