4. ASSEMBLY
fig.2
4.1 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.
4.2 Fitting the handle.
The ends of the chrome handle have flanges which sit
down onto flat platforms at either side of the truck. The
handle is retained by two large socket cap bolts inserted
from underneath. See fig.1A & B. You will require a 10mm
Allen Key to tighten the bolts. Place a split washer followed
by a plain washer over each bolt before inserting and
tightening.
4.3 Fitting the foot pedal. Slide the end of the foot pedal into
the socket situated centrally between the two handle
uprights. (See fig.1C). The footpedal retaining bolt (See
fig.1D) screws directly into the material of the foot pedal
stem. Place a split washer over the pedal retaining bolt
followed by a plain washer, before inserting the bolt.
Ensure the fixing is tight enough to hold the pedal firmly in
place but do not over tighten.
4.4 Connecting the control cable. Remove the cable guide
bush (fig.2X) from the free end of the cable and feed the
end of the cable and cable sheath through the cable guide
tubes welded to the handle and the underside of the frame.
Once the cable has been fed through the guides slide the
bush back over the cable and onto the sheath. Feed the
cable through the hole in the bush retaining bracket and
then through the hole in the clamping bolt on the actuating
lever (fig.2Z). Now screw the guide bush into the bracket
with a 12mm spanner (See Fig.2X). Retain the bush by
tightening the locking nut. See fig.2Y. Pull the end of the
cable so that there is no play in the movement of the lever
mounted on the handle. Hold the clamping bolt (fig.2Z)
steady with a ring spanner and tighten the nut on the other
side of the lever with an open spanner.

5. OPERATION
5.1. Before first use.
5.1.1. Before using the truck for the first time purge any air from
the hydraulic circuit by pumping the foot pedal 20-30 times
times whilst holding the release lever (fig.3A) in.
5.1.2. To test the truck, release the lever which will close the
hydraulic valve. Pump the foot pedal and raise the truck
platform to its highest position and then pull the valve
lever (fig.3A) to lower the platform, (the platform may be
slow to descend immediately from its highest point). If the
platform fails to descend adjust the cable length to remove
excess play in the release lever movement.
5.2. Using the truck
