OPERATION & MAINTENANCE
OPERATION
To raise the forks, push the lift/neutral/lower control lever (A) Fig.1 down to
the “lift” position and pump the directional/pump control handle (B) to lift the
forks to the desired height.
To lower the forks, pull the lift/neutral/lower control lever (C) Fig.1 up to the
“lower” position. A quick release lowering foot pedal (A) Fig.2 can also be
used to quickly lower the forks.
To freely move the directional/pump control handle (B) Fig.1, set the lift/neu-
tral/lower control lever (D) Fig.1 in the centre neutral position.
To lift a load:
1) Lower the forks to the lowest position.
2) Insert forks under load or into pallet.
3) Push the lift/neutral/lower control lever (A) Fig.1 down to the “lift” position.
4) Pump the directional/pump control handle (B) Fig.1 to lift the forks to the
desired height.
To move a load:
1) Push the lift/neutral/lower control lever (D) Fig.1 in the centre neutral po-
sition.
2) Pull or push the pallet truck to the desired location.
To lower a load:
1) Pull the lift/neutral/lower control lever (C) Fig.1 up to the “lower” position.
A quick release lowering foot pedal (A) Fig.2 can also be used to
quickly lower the forks.
2) Pull forks from under load or pallet.
MAINTENANCE
Oil-
Check oil level in pump every six months. Hydraulic, motor or brake oil can
be used, as long as it has a viscosity of 32cst at 40ºC. Total volume of oil
needed is about 0.3 litres.
Bleeding air in system-
Air may get into the hydraulic system due to transportation or pump placed
in a non-operating position. This will cause the forks to not lift while pumping
the handle in the “lift” position. Bleed the air in the following manner; move
lift/neutral/lower control lever (C) Fig.1 up to the “lower” position and pump
the directional/pump control handle (B) Fig.1 several times.
Lubrication-
There are several oil points located on the pallet truck, one of them is shown
(A) Fig.3. Grease the oil points on a semi-annual basis. Lightly oil all moving
parts using motor oil or grease.
