SAFE-LOADING GUIDELINES
Figure 3 CAUTION! Before loading cargo, the operator
must check to confirm the cargo is properly
placed on the pallet and the weight of cargo
is within the load capacity of the truck. Load
weight should be evenly distributed between
the two forks.
1. Do not handle unstable or loosely stacked loads.
2. Do not overload the truck.
3. Always center loads on the forks, not at the end of
the forks. (See Figure 3)
4. 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.
5. Make sure that length of the forks matches the
length of the pallet load.

BATTERY CAPACITY METER
1. The charge status of the battery is indicated on the
battery capacity meter with ten indicator bars for each
10% increase. With the consumption of battery capacity,
the bars will descend downwards from the top.
(See Figure 6)
2. The truck will automatically cut off lifting functions
when the battery reaches 20%.
3. The battery of the pallet truck should be charged
fully and regularly. When "Capacity Insufficient"
alarm flashes on battery capacity meter during
operation, please charge the battery immediately.
MAINTENANCE AND CHARGE OF BATTERY
1. The H-3405 pallet trucks are equipped with a
specific charger to charge the battery. The charger
should be plugged into a standard 120 volt outlet.
CAUTION! Before connecting the charger to
the battery, make sure the emergency shut-off
switch and key switch are in the "OFF" position.
Charge the battery in a dry, well-ventilated
area and keep away from any source of fire.
NOTE: If the truck is not in use, battery charges
should be performed no less than once per
month.
2. Disconnect the battery cable plug from the battery
and attach to the charger. (See Figure 7)
3. Press the "ON" switch on the charger.
4. The charger will adjust the current according to
residual capacity of the battery automatically
which ensures the battery is charged correctly.
After charging the battery, the charger indicator
lights turn green and charger stops automatically.
Battery charging generally takes 7-8 hours.
BALANCE CHARGING THE BATTERY
NOTE: With time the battery will need to be
balanced and should be done in accordance with
the maintenance schedule noted in this manual.
1. Connect the charger to a standard 120V outlet.
CAUTION! Before connecting the charger to
the battery make sure the emergency shut-off
switch and key switch are in the "OFF" position.
Charge the battery in a dry, well-ventilated
area and keep away from any source of fire.
2. Disconnect the battery cable plug from the battery
and attach to the charger. (See Figure 7)
3. Push the balance button on the charger so it
illuminates.
4. Press the "ON" switch on the charger.
5. The charger will adjust the current according to
residual capacity of the battery automatically,
which ensures the battery is charged correctly.
BATTERY CHECKING AND FILLING PROCEDURE
NOTE: With time, water will evaporate from the
batteries and must be refilled in accordance with
the maintenance schedule noted in this manual.
1. Open the watering cap on the battery. (See Figure 8)
2. Make sure the water completely covers the Element
Protector Plate within the battery. (See Figure 8)
3. Add distilled water if necessary. Close the watering cap.
NOTE: Do not overfill the battery. Water level
should be between the plates in the battery and
the bottom of the watering well.

possible accident during the course of repair and
maintenance by taking the following precautions:
1. Park the truck safely.
2. Press emergency shut-off switch and disconnect
the battery.
INSPECTION OF HYDRAULIC OIL CAPACITY
1. Remove the ten bolts (1). (See Figure 7)
2. Remove covers (2). (See Figure 7)
3. Check the capacity of hydraulic oil in oil tank.
NOTE: During inspection of hydraulic oil
capacity, forks and carriage must be lowered
to the minimum height.
INSPECTION OF ELECTRIC FUSE
1. Remove the ten bolts (1). (See Figure 7)
2. Remove covers (2). (See Figure 7)
3. Consult the chart to check the current rating of all
fuses, and replace if necessary.
USE OF TRUCK AFTER MAINTENANCE
Finish the following operations before using the truck:
1. Clean the truck.
2. Check the brakes.
3. Check the emergency shut-off switch.
4. Check the horn.
MAINTENANCE OF THE TRUCK
OPERATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY
1. The instructions in the table in "Maintenance List"
should be performed based on the time interval
specified.
2. To ensure the safety and reliability of truck operation,
only spare parts from manufacturer should be used.
3. Any parts replaced, including oils, must be disposed
of according to related environmental protection
regulations.
SAFETY RULES FOR PALLET TRUCK MAINTENANCE
1. MAINTENANCE STAFF – Repair and maintenance
should be performed only by qualified professionals.
2. CLEANING OPERATION – Flammable fluid is strictly
forbidden in the cleaning of the truck. Before
cleaning starts, safety measures must be taken
to avoid sparking caused by a short circuit. Any
cleaning should be performed after disconnecting
the battery. All electric elements and electronic
assemblies can only be cleaned by compressed air
or by an anti-static brush.
3. OPERATION OF ELECTRICAL SYSTEM – Maintenance
of electrical system of the truck should be
performed by trained professionals only. Before
any maintenance of electrical system, protection
measures to avoid electric shock should be taken by
disconnecting the battery from the truck.
4. WHEELS – The condition of the wheels will greatly
affect stability and driving performance. Wheels
should be replaced in pairs, e.g., both left and right.
5. LIFTING CHAINS – Without lubrication, the lifting
chains will wear out prematurely. The time interval
in the maintenance list is applicable for normal
operation. In case of poor operating conditions
(dust, temperature), it is necessary to increase
lubrication accordingly.
6. HYDRAULIC OIL PIPE – The oil pipe should be
replaced every six years.
NOTE: The maintenance cycle stated in
maintenance list refers to normal conditions
with single shift operation. Under dusty
conditions, extreme temperatures or under
multiple operating shifts, the maintenance
cycle should be shortened accordingly.
7. Please perform maintenance according to the
following table:
CODE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
W1 Every 50 working hours, at least once per week
M3 Every 500 working hours, at least once per 3 months
M6 Every 1,000 working hours, at least once per 6 months
