Stacker Safety Precautions
1. Read and understand manual completely
before operation.
2. Do not exceed rated load center or weight
capacity. Load center is measured
horizontally from the back of forks.
3. To ensure safe and balanced lifting, center
of balanced load should not be positioned
past the load center.
4. Never allow anyone to sit or ride on fork, or
to remain beneath fork.
5. Always center, balance and secure load
before raising or moving stacker.
6. Do not transport loads in the raised position.
7. Use only on smooth finished floors; do not
use on sloping floors.
8. Always keep hands and feet clear of fork
when lifting or lowering load.
9. Pull pump release lever slowly to allow load
to descend in a controlled manner.
10. Failure to comply with the above warnings
may result in tipping, loss of control,
personal injury and/or property damage.
Assembly & Adjustment
1. Remove all packing material from the
stacker.
2. To assemble forks, unscrew socket head flat
screw (#4 page 7, for JHS-1100; #5 page 10
for JHS-2200). Tap fork shaft out (#5 for
JHS-1100; #6 for JHS-2200). Forks to be
assembled must come from the same crate
as the mast.
3. Align holes in forks (#1) with holes in
carriage (#3 for JHS-1100; #4 for JHS-2200)
and tap fork shaft through carriage and fork
holes.
4. Be sure assembled forks are even and
parallel. Reinstall socket head flat screw in
carriage to hold fork shaft in place.
5. To assemble outrigger legs, check to be
sure legs to be assembled come from the
same crate as the mast.
6. Insert outrigger legs (#29 & #31 for JHS-
1100; #24A and #24B for JHS-2200) into
tube openings in bottom of mast (#25 for
JHS-1100; #18 for JHS-2200). Align holes in
legs with holes in mast to enable legs to be
equal distance from mast. Legs should slide
into tube openings easily without force.
7. Fasten legs with four hex cap screws, four
lock washers and four flat washers (#26 thru
28 for JHS-1100; #25 thru 27 for JHS-2200).
Tighten hex nuts firmly.
Do not exceed rated load and
load center capacities. Excessive load can
cause tipping or loss of control. Use on
finished, smooth and level floors only; do
not use on slopes.
Operation
1. Insert both forks evenly and completely
under the load. Load must be distributed
equally on both forks and centered toward
the mast. Do not allow more than half the
load to extend beyond load center. Do not
lift load with fork tips only and do not lift
unstable or loose load.
2. Press the foot pedal or push the pump
handle downwards to raise the forks by one
stroke. Continue to pump the pedal, or
handle, until desired height is reached. Do
not exceed maximum lifting height.
3. To lower the forks, pull the pump release
lever on the handle slowly to allow the load
to lower in a cautious and controlled
manner.
4. To move stacker with load, lower forks
carefully. Use both hands with a firm grip to
push and steer the stacker on level, smooth
finished floors only. Keep all people clear
from stacker while lifting, lowering and
moving load.
CAUTION : When not in use, do not allow heavy
loads to remain on the forks for an extended
period of time. Always lower forks when not in
use.
For optimum performance, the drive chain (#35
on model JHS-1100, #37 on model JHS-2200)
should be lubricated with chain oil regularly.
