OPERATION
TECHNICAL DATA
WARNING! Operator must read and understand
instructions here and on truck prior to use.
On the handle of the pallet truck, you will find the control
lever, which can be set in three positions.
(See Figure 1)
- UP =to raise the forks
- NEUTRAL=to move the load
- DOWN =to lower the forks
1. If the forks elevate while pumping in the NEUTRAL
position, turn the setting screw clockwise until
pumping the handle does not raise the forks and the
NEUTRAL position functions correctly.
2. If the forks descend while pumping in the NEUTRAL
position, turn the setting screw counterclockwise until
the forks do not lower.
3. If the forks do not descend when the control lever is
in the DOWN position, turn the setting screw clockwise
until raising the control lever lowers the forks. Then
check the NEUTRAL position as per steps 1 and 2.
4. If the forks do not lift while pumping in the UP position,
turn the setting screw counterclockwise until the forks
elevate while pumping in the UP position. Then check
the NEUTRAL and DOWN position as per steps 1, 2
and 3.
NOTE: When viewing the truck from the handle
side, the setting screw is located on the right
side of the pump above the right wheel. The
truck will lower faster or slower depending on
how far in or out the screw is adjusted.

OIL
Please check the oil level every six months.
Use the hydraulic oil SAE #10.
HOW TO EXPEL AIR FROM THE PUMP UNIT
Air may enter the unit over time or when the seals are
replaced. To expel the air, lift the control lever to the
DOWN position and move the handle up and down
several times.
DAILY CHECK AND MAINTENANCE
Daily checks of the pallet truck can limit wear and tear
on the unit. Pay special attention to the wheels, the axles,
the handle, the forks and lift and lower control.
LUBRICATION
Use motor oil or grease to lubricate all movable parts.
MAINTENANCE
SAFETY
For safe operation of the Hand Pallet Truck, please read
all warning signs and instructions here and on the pallet
truck prior to use.
1. Do not operate the pallet truck unless you are familiar
with it and have been trained and authorized to do so.
2. Do not use the truck on sloping ground.
3. Never place any part of your body in the lifting
mechanism or under the forks or load. Do not carry
passengers.
4. We advise that operators should wear gloves and
safety shoes.
5. Do not handle unstable or loosely stacked loads.
6. Do not overload the truck.
7. Always center loads on the forks, not at the end of the
forks. (See Figure 2)
8. The capacity of the truck assumes an evenly
distributed load with the center of the load being at
the halfway point of the length of the forks.
9. Make sure that length of the forks matches the length
of the pallet load.
10. Lower the forks to lowest height when the truck is not
being used.
