Unpacking
Open shipping container and check for shipping
damage. Report any damage immediately to
your distributor and shipping agent. Do not
discard any shipping material until the Pallet
Truck
is assembled and working properly.
Individual trucks are assembled and ready to
use. Pallet trucks purchased in crate quantities
(6 units to a crate) require some assembly.
Match the “letter” label on the handle assembly
to the “letter” label on the frame prior to
assembly.
Assembly
Tools required for assembly:
Hammer
Flat Head Screwdriver
Pliers
1. Insert the base of the handle into the pump
bracket (Figure 1). Align the holes at the
base of the handle with the holes in the
pump bracket.
2. Use a hammer to tap the handle pin into the
holes of the pump bracket and handle
(Figure 2). Use pliers to turn the handle pin
until its holes align with the spring pin holes.

hole in the handle pin (Figure 3). Using a
screwdriver, pry up the cam and slip the
screw head under the notch in the cam.

handle pin.
5. Tap out the pump retainer pin (Figure 1) and
