• The operator should read all warning signs and instructions in the manual and on
the scissor pallet truck before using it.
• Do not operate a scissor pallet truck unless you have been trained or authorised to
do so.
• The scissor pallet truck can’t be used if it’s damaged or when faults appear.
• Do not use the scissor pallet truck on a slope. It is designed to be used on even and
level floors.
• It is forbidden to carry or lift passengers.
• Do not exceed the maximum capacity.
• The weight of the goods should be distributed over the two forks, do not use only
one fork. The centre of gravity of the goods should be in the centre of the two forks.
• Be aware of hazardous situations like ledges or potholes, bumps and floor
obstructions, debris, overhead obstructions and high-voltage conductors,
inadequate surface support to withstand all load forces imposed by the machine.
• The operator should wear safety shoes and gloves when using or maintaining the
• scissor pallet truck.
• When goods are being transported or lifted, bystanders should keep a minimum
distance of 1 metre.
• When transporting goods, raise the forks as little as possible. Transport with
raised forks should be carried out slowly and for as short a distance as possible.
• Do not operate the product unless you are of age.
• The person responsible for the use of the product must make sure that all of the
safety rules in force in the country of its use are applied, to guarantee that the
equipment is used in conformity with the use for which it is destined and to avoid
any dangerous situation for the user.
• Don’t balance the scissor pallet truck on the left or right side.
• Only release the handle once the pallet truck has come to a complete stop.
• Do not load unstable or loosely stacked loads.
TVH cannot envisage each possible circumstance that may result in danger.
Therefore the warnings given in this publication and which appear on the equipment
are not exhaustive.
In the event that equipment, procedures, work methods or working techniques are
used that are not specifically advised by the TVH company, it is necessary to make
sure that there is no danger to the operator or other people.
The pallet truck is equipped with a pressure valve and an overflow valve:
• The pressure valve on the machine is factory-set for the maximum load capacity of
1500kg or according to the capacity mentioned on the pallet truck.
• The pressure relief valve is set to avoid the risk of overloading. When the machine
is overloaded, the overflow valve opens to prevent lifting, because that could result
in a dangerous situation.

6. OPERATION
6.1. Safety instructions for operating the product
• A damaged or malfunctioning machine must never be used. If damage or
malfunctions are discovered during pre-operation inspection or function tests, the
machine must be tagged and removed from service.
• The operator may not wear any loose objects, such as necklaces, rings, scarves…
as they may become entangled in the machine and thus cause harm to the
operator.
• Do not operate a pallet truck unless you have been trained or authorised to do so.
• Do not exceed the maximum load capacity.
• The operator should wear safety shoes and gloves when using the pallet truck.
• Never leave a loaded scissor pallet truck unattended.
• When goods are being transported or lifted, bystanders should keep a minimum
distance of 1metre.
• Make sure that the flooring can support the combined weight of the pallet truck
and its load.
• Be aware of hazardous situations like ledges or potholes, bumps and floor
obstructions, debris and overhead obstructions.
• Make sure that no elements can hinder the lowering of the forks.
• When transporting goods, raise the forks as little as possible. Transport with
raised forks should be carried out slowly and for as short a distance as possible.
• When loading and unloading the pallet truck, always do this with the forks in the
lowest position.
• In normal conditions the pallet truck moves without a lot of effort or noises.
• If the wheels are dragging, they are probably blocked by dirt in or around the axles.
• If the forks descend automatically, check the troubleshooting in chapter8.
• Don’t balance the pallet truck on the left or right side. Otherwise there is a risk that
the forks will bend.
6.2. Operating instructions
Please see chapter7 for the daily maintenance schedule.
1. Positions of the operating lever:
On the drawbar of the scissor pallet truck , you can find the control lever which can be
regulated in three positions:
1
2
3
1. UP = to lower the forks
2. NEUTRAL = to move the load
3. LOWER = to pump up the forks

17/32
2. Loading and unloading the pallet truck:
1. Position and level the forks so that they are in line with
the pallet inlets.
2. Slowly insert the forks into the inlets until the pallet hits
the back of the forks.
3. Pump up the forks to lift the pallet off the ground.
4. Move backwards and pay attention to the load to make
sure it’s stable.
5. Transport the goods with the forks raised as little as
possible.
6. Position the pallet truck in line with the storage space.

18/32
7. Move the goods into the storage space.
8. Unload the pallet truck by bringing the forks to their
lowest position.
9. Pull back the pallet truck, the pallet is now in the
desired space.
10. If the job is finished, safely store the pallet truck
(seechapter4).
The scissor pallet truck is equipped with 2supports. At a
height of 400mm, the supports automatically hit the floor.
Once the supports are in place, the scissor pallet truck can
no longer be moved.
If the scissor pallet truck doesn’t lower or lift, see the following steps to adjust the lever.

19/32
3. Adjustments of the operating lever
Adjustment of neutral position:
1. Place the operating lever in the normal position.
2. Push the tiller handle into the lowest position.
3. Regulate the adjuster nut and screw on the linkage so
that, when the tiller handle is pumped, the forks neither
raise nor lower.
Adjustment of lifting position:
1. Place the operating lever in the lifting position.
2. Pump the tiller handle; the linkage is not operated,
the forks raise and tilt while the release valve remains
completely closed.
3. If the forks do not lift or tilt, regulate the adjuster nut
and screw until a normal lifting and tilting action is
attained.
Adjustment of lowering position:
1. Pull the operating lever in the lowering position.
2. The linkage is operated, causing the release and
pressure valve to open completely, and the forks to
lower.
3. If the forks don’t lower, regulate the adjuster nut and
