Troubleshooting:
1. ControllevelintheDRIVEposition:
a. Iftheforkselevatewhilepumpingthehandleup‐and‐down,thelocknut(seestep5above;fastenedtotheendofthe
threadedshaft)requiresadjustment.Turnthenutclockwise;thenpumpthehandleagaintodetermineiftheforksstill
rise.Continuetoturnthenutclockwiseuntiltheforksnolongerrise.
b. Ifpumpingthehandlecausestheforkstolower,turnthelocknutcounterclockwise.Turnthenutcounterclockwise
untiltheforksnolongerdescend.
2. ControlleverintheLOWERposition:
a. Iftheforksdonotlower,turnthelocknutclockwise.Turnthenutclockwiseuntiltheforkslower.
3. ControlleverintheRAISEposition:
a. Iftheforksdonotrisewhilepumpingthehandle,turnthenutcounterclockwise.Continuetoturnthenutuntilthe
