2. ATTACHING DRAW-BAR TO PUMP UNIT (continued)
2.2 Set the Control Handle (117S) to the ‘LOWER’ position, then pass the Adjusting Nut
(104S), Adjusting Bolt (103S) and Chain (102S) through the hole of the axle (105S) by
hand (See Fig. 3).
Fig. 3
2.3 Press the Draw-Bar (110S) down and then take away the Pin (See Item 2 in Fig. 1).
2.4 Set the Control Handle (117S) to the ‘RAISE’ position, then raise the Lever Plate
(319S) with the Pin (Item 2 in Fig. 1) and insert the Adjusting Bolt (103S) into the front
slot of the Lever Plate (319S).
Note: Keep the Adjusting Nut (104S) on the underside of the lever plate.
2.5 Use a hammer to insert another Elastic Pin (106S) into the Axle with Hole (105S). The
Draw-Bar is now assembled to the pump.
3. ADJUSTING RELEASE DEVICE
The Control Handle (117S) is located on the Draw-Bar of the truck and can be adjusted
to three different positions:
Raise -handle down
Drive -handle in center position
Lower -handle up, the lever moves back to the drive position when released.
If however they have been changed, you can adjust according to following step:
3.1 If the forks elevate while pumping in the DRIVE position, turn the Adjusting Nut
(104S) on the Adjusting Bolt (103S) or Screw (318S) clockwise until pumping action
does not raise the forks and the DRIVE position functions properly.

3. ADJUSTING RELEASE DEVICE (continued)
3.2 If the forks descend while pumping in the DRIVE position, turn the Nut (104S) or
Screw (318S) counter-clockwise until the forks do not lower.
3.3 If the forks do not descend when the Control Handle (117S) is in the LOWER position,
turn the Nut (104S) or Screw (318S) clockwise until raising the Control Handle
(117S) lowers the forks. Then check the DRIVE position according to item 3.1 and
3.2 to be sure the Nut (104S) and Screw (318S) are in the proper position.
3.4 If the forks do not elevate while pumping in the RAISE position, turn the Nut (104S)
or Screw (318S) counter-clockwise until the forks elevate while pumping in the
RAISE position. Then check the LOWER and DRIVE position according to item 3.1, 3.2
and item 3.3.
4. MAINTENANCE
The pallet truck is mostly maintenance-free.
4.1 OIL
Please check the oil level every six months. The oil can be hydraulic oil: ISO VG32, its
viscosity should be 30cSt at 104°F (40°C), total volume is about 0.4lt.
4.2 AIR REMOVAL
Air may contaminate the hydraulic oil through use during transportation or pumping up to a
position. It can cause the forks to not elevate while pumping in the RAISE position. The air
can been cleared out by setting the control handle (117S) to the LOWER position, then
moving the draw-bar up and down repeatedly.
4.3 DAILY CHECK AND MAINTENANCE
Check the pallet truck daily to limit wear as much as possible. Pay special attention to the
wheels and the axles because thread, rags, etc. may block the wheels. The forks should be
unloaded and set to the lowest position when not in use.
4.4 LUBRICATION
All bearings and shafts are provided with long-life grease at the factory. Long-life grease
only needs to be applied at monthly intervals or after each thorough cleaning of the
lubrication points.

5. SAFETY INFORMATION
5.1 Operator should read all warning labels and instructions before using this truck.
5.2 Do not use on uneven surfaces.
5.3 Do not operate the pallet truck unless you are familiar with the unit and have been
trained or authorized to do so.
5.4 Do not operate the pallet truck unless you have checked its condition. Check the
wheels, the rollers, the draw-bar unit, the fork unit, the lever plate, etc.
5.5 To pull the truck, always move the control handle into the drive position. This
makes the draw-bar easier to move and depressurizes the pump section of the
hydraulics. Making sure to do this will preserve the hydraulic seals and the valve
components in order to maintain along service life.
5.6 Do not lift or transport people on the pallet truck.
5.7 When the goods have been transported, people should keep a distance of 2’ (600mm)
away from the forks.
5.8 Do not load goods like fig. 5/B. Center loads on the pallet truck.
5.9 Do not load the truck over the maximum capacity ofthe unit:4,400 lbs(2000kg).
