2. CORRECT APPLICATION

This truck is a manually operated Pallet Truck designed to lift and transport

the rated load on industrial pallets. Do not lift or carry persons and don’t use

this truck for other purposes than its intended use. A wrong usage can cause

human injuries or can damage equipment.

The operator/operating company has to ensure the correct usage and has to

ensure that this truck is used only by staff, which is trained and authorized to

use this truck.

The truck has to be used on substantially firm, smooth, level and prepared

surfaces. Driving with the load on slopes is not allowed. The load must be

placed approximately on the longitudinal centre plane of the table and must

be in satisfactory condition.

The capacity is marked on the identification plate and depending on the

version possibly additionally on the capacity sticker. The operator has to

consider the warnings and safety instructions.

The Pallet Truck is intended to be used for indoor applications with ambient

temperatures between 5 °C and 40 °C.

No modifications or alterations to this Pallet Truck which may affect stability

or safety requirements of the truck, shall be made without the prior written

approval of the original truck manufacturer, its authorized representative, or

a successor thereof. This includes changes affecting braking, steering, for

example capacity, visibility and the addition of removable attachments. When

the manufacturer or its successor approve a modification or alteration, they

shall also make and approve appropriate changes to capacity plate, decals,

tags and operation and maintenance handbooks. By not observing these

instructions, the warranty becomes void.

4. ASSEMBLY OF THE TILLER HANDLE

1. Remove the cardboard

packaging from the lever.

Attention: the axle for the

installation of the lever is

included in the lever

2. Take the lever, the axle

and the split pin.

3. Insert the axle in the

pump through the holes

in the pump and through

the holes of the lever from

right to left.

4. Now secure the axle with

the elastic pin.

5. Remove the safety bar on

the pump.

9

6. Take the chain in the lever

and run it through the

hole of the axle.

7. Secure the chain to the

lever of the lowering valve.

8.

If the pump functions

unsatisfactorily: loosen

the nut and adjust by

tightening or loosening the

screw. After performing

the adjustment, retighten

the nut.

9. Ready for use!

5. ADJUSTING THE RELEASE MECHANISM

On the draw-bar of this pallet truck, you can find the control handle which can

be regulated in three positions:

Lower

Neutral

Raise

Raise Handle down

Neutral Handle in centre position

Lower Handle up, the lever moves back to the drive position when

released

If however they have been changed, you can adjust according to following

step:

· If the forks elevate while pumping in the neutral position, turn the

adjusting nut on the adjusting bolt or adjusting screw clockwise until

pumping action does not raise the forks and the neutral position functions

properly.

· If the forks descend while pumping in the neutral position, turn the nut or

adjusting screw counter-clockwise until the forks do not lower.

· If the forks do not descent when the control handle is in the lower position,

turn the nut or adjusting screw clockwise until raising the control handle

lowers the forks. Then check the neutral position to be sure the nut or

adjusting screw is in the proper position.

· If the forks do not elevate while pumping in the raise position, turn the nut

or adjusting screw counter-clockwise until the forks elevate while pumping

in the raise position. Then check the lower and neutral position.

6. MAINTENANCE

Your pallet truck is largely maintenance-free.

6.1. Oil

Please check the oil level every six months. The oil capacity is about 0.3 litre.

Restore the fluid level in the rubber reservoir to 5 mm below the top; this must

be with the forks in the lowered position. Use the hydraulic type oil according

to temperature scale below.

Temperature Oil

-20°C ~ + 40°C L-HV46 hydraulic oil

6.2. How to bleed air from the pump unit

Air may enter the hydraulic oil during transport or by pumping in the upright

position. This can cause the forks not to elevate while pumping in the RAISE

position. The air can be bled in the following way: place the control handle in

the LOWER position, then move the handle up and down several times.

6.3. Daily check and maintenance

Daily check of the pallet truck can limit wear as much as possible. Special

attention should be paid to the wheels and the axles, as thread, rags, etc may

block the wheels.

The forks should be unloaded and lowered in the lowest position when the job

is over.

6.4. Lubrication

Use motor oil or grease to lubricate all moveable parts.

6.5. Adding hydraulic oil to the pump reservoir

· Ensure forks are in lowered position

· Lay pallet truck on either side. Position drain plug of hydraulic cylinder up

· Remove the screw plug

· Add hydraulic oil until level of oil is at bottom of hole

· Replace drain plug, upright the truck

7. WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

For safe operation of the Pallet Truck, please read all warning signs and

instructions here and on the pallet truck prior to use.

· Do not operate the pallet truck unless you are familiar with it and have

been trained or authorised to do so.

· Give special attention to the wheels, the tiller assembly, the forks, and the

lowering controls.

· Do not use the truck on a slope.

· Never place any part of your body in the lifting mechanism or under the

forks or load.

· Do not carry passengers.

· We advise that operators should wear gloves and safety shoes.

· Do not handle unstable or loosely stacked loads.

· Do not overload the truck.

· Always place loads centrally across the forks and not at the end of the forks

(See Fig.2).

· The capacity of the truck assumes an evenly distributed load with the

centre of the load being at the halfway point of the length of the forks.

· Make sure that length of the forks matches the length of the pallet.

Lower the forks to the lowest height when the truck is not being used.

· In other specific conditions the operators should take extra care in

operating the truck.

Per il sollevamento rapido del transpallet:

Se il carico pesa meno di 120 kg, il transpallet può utilizzare la funzione di

sollevamento rapido. Ciò consente di sollevare le forche dall’altezza minima

all’altezza massima con circa 5 corse della maniglia timone. Se il carico

pesa più di 120 kg, la funzione pompa passa automaticamente alla velocità di

sollevamento normale.

8. TROUBLESHOOTING

N° Problem Cause Action

1 The forks can’t be

raised up to the

max height

• The hydraulic oil is not

enough

• Add hydraulic oil

2 The forks can’t be

raised

• No hydraulic oil in the

reservoir

• The oil contains impurities

• The nut or screw were

tightened too much, keeping

the pumping valve open

• Air enters the hydraulic oil

• Fill the oil reservoir

• Change the oil

• Adjust the nut or the screw

• Bleed the air

3 The forks can’t be

lowered

• The piston rod or pump body

is deformed due to partial

loading slanting to one side

or overloading

• The forks were kept in their

highest position for long

time with the piston rod

exposed, resulting in rust

and causing the rod to jam

• The adjusting nut or screw is

not in the correct position

• Replace the piston rod or

pump body

• Keep the forks in the lowest

position when not in use,

and pay more attention to

the lubrication of the rod

• Adjust the nut or the screw

4 Leaks • Sealing parts worn or

damaged

• Some part are cracked or

slightly worn

• Replace the parts

5 The forks

descend without

the release valve

being operated

• The impurities in the oil

prevent the release valve

from closing properly

• Some parts of the hydraulic

system are cracked or worn

• Air enters the hydraulic oil

• Sealing parts worn or

damaged

• The adjusting nut or screw

is not in the correct position

• Replace with new oil
