3. ASSEMBLY
IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. NOTE THE SAFE OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, WARNINGS & CAUTIONS.
USE THE PRODUCT CORRECTLY AND WITH CARE FOR THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT IS INTENDED. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE
DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY, AND WILL INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY. PLEASE KEEP INSTRUCTIONS SAFE FOR FUTURE USE.
3.1 A minimum of two people will be required to lift the truck out of its packaging. Alternatively, cut and fold down flat one end of the box
and wheel the truck out. ( The handle should be raised before fitting the foot pedal.)
3.2 Raising the handle. Begin to raise the handle from its stowage position on top of the lowered platform. (See fig.1) As you do so apply
pressure to the centre of the locking bar with your foot (see fig.1A) to release the locking mechanism and continue to raise the handle.
As the handle reaches the vertical position it will snap into the locked position. (See fig.2)
3.3 Fitting the foot pedal. Remove the nut and washers from the bolt which goes through the foot pedal and unscrew the bolt itself. Slide
the stem of the foot pedal into the socket in the end of the connecting rod situated just below the locking bar. (See fig.2A) Place one
plain washer onto the bolt, then align the holes through the socket with the hole in the pedal and screw the bolt through both items
and tighten. Place the other plain washer and the spring washer onto the bolt followed by the nut, and tighten.
pWARNING! Ensure all Health and Safety, local authority, and general workshop practice regulations and recommendations are strictly
adhered to when lifting or moving heavy loads. The lifting or movement of heavy loads may be dangerous if not undertaken correctly.

your foot until you are able to press down on the locking lever with the front of your foot (see fig.1A) in order to release the locking
mechanism. As you lower the handle squeeze the release trigger to ensure that the platform sinks to its lowest level in order that the
handle lies flat.
