9. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
A pallet truck scale is an electronic weighing system directly installed on a pallet truck.
Must be used on even solid surfaces and driven always in the normal position.
Before loading, check the maximum load allowed by the pallet truck scale in use.
( refer to instruction plate X on the side of the pallet truck – reference drawing B ).
The rudder has a double function, direction control and hydraulic lifting.
N.B.
Lift up or pull down only when the pallet truck scale is in a standing still position.
N.B.
Load only when forks are in the lowest position.
CONTROLS
The lever on the right side of the rudder can be put in 3 positions, like it shows on the plate “Y” in figure B.
POS. 1 – centre =
TRANSPORT
The rudder is completely free to allow driving control.
POS. 2 – down =
LIFT UP
By moving the lever downward the lifting mechanism is activated.
Pushing down the rudder will cause the load to lift up.
POS. 3 – up =
PULL DOWN
By moving the lever upward the load will descend. When the lever is
quickly moved upward, a special valve controls the descending speed of the load.
RUDDER ASSEMBLY (figure C)
1.
Lock rudder ( 228 ) to hydraulic pump ( 200 ) with screws ( 27 ) that you can find in the box.
2.
Lock chain ( 208 ) to lift down pedal ( 50 ). Rotate pedal to simplify the connection.
DESCENDING SPEED REGULATION (figure C)
1.
Lift up forks to maximum height.
2.
Set right lever to POS. 1 ( centre ).
3.
Make sure the rudder ( 200 ) is in a vertical position.
4.
Unscrew bolt ( 2 ) and turn clockwise the adjustable screw ( 48 ) until the forks
start
to descend.
5.
Turn adjustable screw 1 ½ turn counter clockwise, then screw bolt ( 2 ).
6.
You should be able to obtain a descending movement from every position of the rudder.
PARKING BRAKE (OPTIONAL)
If provided for, the rear wheel brake system can be fitted with a parking brake.
CAREFUL:
use the brake only for parking the pallet truck and not to slow it down.
MAINTENANCE WARNINGS
Before you perform any service, make sure the pallet truck is in a condition of safety.
Never discharge any residue without taking the necessary environmental precautions.
Only perform the service described in this manual. Maintenance and repair jobs not included in this manual must be

Do not modify the pallet truck.
Do not use inflammable cleaners. Do not use direct jets of water. Do not pour liquids on the indicator.
OIL LEVEL ( figure D )
Check oil level every 6 months. Only use hydraulic oil. No engine oil or brake oil.
Oil viscosity 30 Cst at 40°C . Quantity 0.3 lt.
With the fork in the lower position follow these steps:
1.
Remove cover ( 204 ), o-ring ( 11 ) and cap ( 202 ).
2.
If necessary add oil. Maximum filling level is 200mm below top of tank.
3.
Turn on the pump to get air out of the hydraulic circuit.
4.
Put cap ( 202 ), o-ring ( 11 ) and cover (204 ) back.
