1 Guidelines for Safe Operation
1.1 Requirements for the operator
The pallet truck should only be operated by trained personnel.
1.2 The right, duty and responsibility of the operator
Clear with his own right and duty, the operator should be trained in operating the pallet truck and
also knows the contents in this operation manual very well. If the Semi-electric pallet truck in
use is controlled on foot, the operator should wear safety boots during operation.
The operator is responsible for managing the pallet truck in use, and must prevent any
unauthorized person from driving or operating the pallet truck.
1.3 Malfunction and Defects: In case malfunction or defects occur with the Semi-electric pallet
truck, the driver should immediately inform the supervisor. If the Semi-electric pallet truck can
not be operated safely, e.g. with worn wheels and brake malfunction, always stop using it until
repaired completely.
1.4 Repair
Do not disassemble and repair the truck on your own. Repairs performed by non-qualified
personnel will degrade the safety factors of the truck. Attaching device or equipment that may
interfere with or complement the pallet truck’s functions can only be installed with the written
approval of the manufacturer. If necessary, please call our technician.
All original spare parts from the factory are verified by Quality Assurance Department. Only
use spare parts from the manufacturer for the guarantee of the safety and reliability of Semi-electric
pallet truck operation. The replaced material such as oil or fuel should be disposed of according to
environment protection regulations.
1.5 Dangerous area
Dangerous area generally refers to these locations, in which Semi-electric pallet truck or its lifting
mechanism (e.g. fork or accessories) is moving, lifting or lowering, thus being dangerous to
persons in this area, or in which the truck is handling loads. Generally the scope of this area
extends to locations to which the loads or accessories on the truck is lowered.
Unauthorized persons must be ordered to leave dangerous areas. The driver should always
give warning if there is any risk of human injury. If the warned persons still stay in dangerous area,
the driver should stop the Semi-electric pallet truck immediately.

1.6 High-risk environment
Trucks that will be operated in high-risk environment must be equipped with special safety
devices. If operated in fuel depots, the truck must be equipped with antistatic devices.
The truck is not designed for use in high-risk environment
1.7 Driving in public places: The truck is prohibited to drive in public places except for
special areas.
1.8 Space between vehicles
Remember to keep a proper distance from the vehicle ahead, since it may stop suddenly at any
moment.
1.9 Operation in a lift or loading platform
If the load capacity of the lift or platform is sufficient and the space is enough for Semi-electric
pallet truck operation, they can be used for transportation with the permission from the
Semi-electric pallet truck user. The Semi-electric pallet truck must be confirmed by its driver
himself before entering the lift or loading platform. When entering the lift, the loads must enter
ahead. And locate the Semi-electric pallet truck in a suitable position to prevent from contacting
walls around. If passengers take the lift together with the Semi-electric pallet truck, they have to
enter after the Semi-electric pallet truck enters and stops firmly, and leave before the
Semi-electric pallet truck.
The total weight is the weight of the load plus the weight of the truck itself.
1.10 Operation Management
Driving speeds must be suitable to local conditions. Always drive in lower speed when passing
curved passageways, narrow passageways, rotary doors or any obstructed places. The driver
should be able to measure by sight and keep enough stopping space from vehicles ahead all the
time. It is prohibited to make an abrupt stop (unless in emergency), rapid U-turn and chase with
each other in obstructed places.
1.11 Visibility
The driver must keep his eyes on moving direction and have a clear view of the road ahead. In
case the loads carried block sight of the driver, the truck has to be driven reversely. If this is not
practical, another person should walk in front of the truck, giving corresponding guidance and
warning to the driver.

1.12 Passing a ramp
Only known ramps are permitted to pass. The ramps must also be clean, anti-skid and meet
specification requirements of the truck. Loads on the fork must face the downward slope. Never turn
around, drive obliquely or stop on a slope. Slow down when passing a ramp.
1.13 Safe Parking
Pay attention to safety when parking the truck. Never park the truck on a slope or on a ramp. The
fork must be lowered down to the lowest position after parking. Turn off the electric lock and remove
the key to prevent unauthorized operation.
1.14 Signalling
Warning signals can be sent by the horn on the truck.
1.15 Protection shoes
According to EU standard EN-345:1-S1, standard protective shoes must be worn when operating on
the Semi-electric pallet truck.
2. Technical manual
The SPT15 Pallet Truck is specially designed for conveying goods on flat roads.
The maximum loading capacity is 1500kg，and the product’s most important feature is that it is
power-driven, avoiding labor force generally needed by operation of hand pallet truck and thus
improving the working efficiency；the LPE20 Semi-electric pallet truck is particularly suitable for use
in factories, plants, wharfs and small warehouses. It can also be used for handling goods on freight
wagons.

Squat behind the truck when installing the handle and follow the steps below:
3.2.1 Place the handle on the small piston, and then use a hammer to knock the perforated pin into
the hydraulic pump and handle from right to left.
3.2.2 Shift the finger lever to the "Lowering" position and insert the adjustment nut , adjusting bolt
and chain through the center hole of pin.
3.2.3 Press the handle bar and remove the pin.
3.2.4 Place the control handle to "Lifting" position, then tilt up the swing rod, insert the adjusting
bolt into the slot in front of the rod, and make adjusting nut affixed to the bottom of the swing
rod;
3.2.5 Use a hammer to knock the elastic pin into perforated pin.
The handle installation is completed.
3.3 Three-Position (Lifting, Neutral and Lowering) Finger Lever Adjustment
The finger lever has three positions and their functions are as follows:
Lifting The finger lever is at the low position. With an up/down motion of the handle,
the fork can be raised.
Neutral The finger lever is at the middle position. With an up/down motion of the
handle, the fork will not be lowered or raised. It is use for truck moving.
Lowering The finger lever is at the high position, and the fork will be lowered. Release
the lever, it will automatically return to the neutral position.
The three positions of the finger lever have been adjusted before leaving the factory. If the positions
change due to accident, adjust according to the following steps:
3.3.1 If the fork rises when the finger lever is pressed at the middle position, turn the adjusting screw
or the adjusting nut on the adjustment bolt clockwise until the fork neither rises nor lowers when the
