WORK AREA
•Keep work area clean, free of clutter and well lit. Cluttered and dark work areas can cause
accidents.
•Keep children and bystanders away while operating the pallet truck. Distractions can cause
you to lose control, so visitors should remain at a safe distance from the work area.

use a pallet truck while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating a pallet truck may result in serious personal injury.
•Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing, dangling objects, or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
•Use safety apparel and equipment. Use safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields
which comply with current national standards, or when needed, a face shield. Use of a dust
mask is recommended if working in dusty work conditions.Also use non-skid safety shoes,
hardhat, gloves, dust collection systems, and hearing protection when appropriate.
PALLET TRUCK USE AND CARE
•Do not modify the pallet truck in any way. Unauthorized modification may impair the function
and/or safety and could affect the life of the equipment. There are specific applications for which
the pallet truck was designed.
•Always check for damaged or worn out parts before using the pallet truck. Broken parts
will affect the pallet trucks operation. Replace or repair damaged or worn parts immediately.
•Do not exceed the pallet trucks load capacity.
•Distribute the load evenly. Uneven loads may cause the pallet truck to tip, resulting in
personal injury to the operator or others.
•Use the pallet truck on flat and level surfaces capable of supporting the pallet truck and its
maximum load. Pulling or pushing a load on a slanted or uneven surface can result in loss of
control.
•Store idle pallet truck. When pallet truck is not in use, store it in a secure place out of the
reach of children. Inspect it for good working condition prior to storage and before re-use.

Figure 1 Figure 2
2. Insert Handle Tube into Position A. Connect Handle tube and the pump body 31 via the pin
shaft 23.
3. Replace pin shaft #23, and put the spring pin 24 through pin shaft 23 to secure.

Figure 2 and Figure 4.
6. Refer to Figure 3, move the handle to a horizontal position, pull out pin B and store to be
used for Handle replacement in the future. The pallet truck assembly is complete.
Check before using
1. After the assembly is complete, move the Trigger (# 1, Figure 5, below) into the three
different positions. This assures pallet operates lowering, neutral and raising operations
correctly after assembling.
2. The Screw #54 in Fig. 4 is used for the adjustment of the truck. When the truck body lowers
shortly after rising, turn Screw 54 a little counterclockwise before trying the truck again. In
the case that the truck body is unable to lower, turn Screw 54 a little clockwise and then try
the truck again till the truck is able to lower normally. The Hex nut 53 functions as a lock, so
it needs to be loosened before adjustment is made and locked after modification.
