the CooLift pallets, do not spread the forks while underneath pallet as it may result in pallet
failure.
• Store in upright position in cool, dry location.
• Do not drop.
• Do not stand upon.
• Wash with mild soap and water.
• Do not use if damaged.
• Make sure to interlock empty pallets when stacking.
• Only stack pallets when empty.

User Controls
A) Speed Control Brake Lever – used for slowing and stopping the momentum of the CooLift. This brake
does not act as a parking brake.
B) Foot Brake Lever - the foot brake is used as a parking brake for when the CooLift is in transit in the back
of a vehicle, or if the CooLift is left unattended.
C) Pump release valve – when valve is closed, the deck can be lifted. Open the valve to release the deck.
D) Containment Strap – should be used to secure loads during transport.
E) Operator Handles – foam cushioned, ergonomic handles for lift control.
F) Manual Pump Handle – handle and retention strap for when not in use.
G) Lift Assist Handle (optional) - handles pivot upward to give additional leverage when lifting back of CooLift
Deck Operation of the Magliner Manual CooLift
The CooLift deck is raised and lowered using the hand pump handle provided with the unit.
To raise the deck:
1. Rotate the valve handle toward the back of the CooLift (i.e. clockwise direction).
2. Carefully remove the retention strap from the pump handle.
3. Make sure the pump handle is securely inserted into the pump handle receiver located at the top of the
pump.
4. Firmly grasp the handle and swing downward until it reaches the limit of travel - this increases pressure
in the hydraulic line to apply lifting force to the deck. Return handle to upright position.
5. Repeat step 3 until the load is lifted to desired height.
6. Replace the retention strap on the pump handle in the upright position.
Note: The heavier the load, the more pumps it may take to raise the deck to the top position. With a 1,000
lbs. load, this could take approximately 18 pumps of the handle to lift the deck to the top position.
To lower the deck:
1. Rotate the valve handle toward the front of the CooLift (i.e. counter-clockwise direction).
2. The rate of descent can be controlled by how much the valve handle is rotated toward the front of the
CooLift. The deck can be lowered part way and then held in place by rotating the handle toward the back
of the unit until descent stops.
3. The deck will lower into the lowest position.
Operating the Foot Brake
The foot brake prevents the rear casters from rotating and from swiveling.
To engage, press down on the foot pedal until it locks in the down (locked) position. To disengage, pull up on
the foot pedal until it is released and in the up (unlocked) position.

General Operation of the Magliner CooLift
A) Storage and Use of Foot Brake
1) Engage the foot brake whenever leaving the CooLift unattended.
2) Pallets on the Magliner CooLift should always be in the down position when not moving.
3) Keep hands, feet and all items clear of the moving parts of the CooLift.
4) Never place hands or feet under a loaded elevated pallet.
5) Store the CooLift on a hard level surface.

Front Underside View
B) Loading a pallet on the Magliner CooLift
1) Make sure CooLift deck is in down position.
2) Push the CooLift under the pallet until fully inserted and the back of the pallet is touching
the back of the cart or the bulk head if one is installed.
3) Rotate the valve handle in the clockwise direction. Pump the manual pump handle until the
deck interlocks with the pallet. Once the deck is in the desired position, return the handle
to the upright position and place the retention strap on the pump handle.
4) Engage the foot brake by pressing the brake down toward the ground or oor until it locks
into the engaged position.
Note: Make sure the deck is in the up position prior to fastening the containment strap.
5) Fasten the containment strap to secure the load by: a) rmly grasping the end of the
strap; b) pulling it out from the roll directly over the center of the load taking care not to twist
the strap; c) extending strap far enough to snap into position; and d) hooking strap to the
containment lock located at the lower front end of the cart (see Front Underside View).
6) The maximum stacking height is 50”. However, never stack a load that is higher than your
line of vision.

pallet with the foot brake engaged
Figure 2: CooLift strapped into truck for transport
D) Unloading a pallet from the Magliner CooLift
1) Position the cart in place on a level surface and engage the foot brake.
2) Lower the deck completely by turning the pump valve counter-clockwise.
3) Unlock the containment strap from the lock by lifting the tab and sliding the latch out.
4) Walk the strap back into position on the roll.
5) Disengage the foot brake by pulling the brake lever up until the brake releases.
E) Transporting the Magliner CooLift inside the truck
Note: It is important to keep the CooLift upright at all times.
1) If you are transporting the CooLift on a truck that has loaded pallets, insert the CooLift
completely under a fully loaded pallet and lift the until deck makes contact with the bottom
of the pallet but does not lift it. Engage the foot brake (Figure 1).
2) If there are no loaded pallets on the truck, the CooLift should be parked next to the wall
and strapped in with the foot brake engaged (Figure 2).
C) Transporting a pallet with the Magliner CooLift
1) When transporting a pallet with the CooLift the operator should always use caution on
natural grades. Be positioned uphill from cart when descending, use brake to control speed
and make no sharp turns.
2) Care should be taken to address any sidewalk ramps or door thresholds to help maintain
stability in the load.
3) Use caution at all sloping or uneven surface areas and make any nal positioning changes.
4) Release the manual pump valve by turning the valve handle counter-clockwise until the
CooLift deck has lowered completely. Note: it is possible to have the pallet sitting on
the oor and the deck still engaged to the bottom of the pallet if the deck has not been
completely lowered.
5) Remove the CooLift from under the pallet.
