Screw-Jack Adjustment
The machine comes with an adjustable screw-jack that allows
the operator to set the height of the drive-wheel with respect to
the wheels of the pallet-jack. The operator can alter this height
by using the allen-wrench tool provided to adjust the
compression in the drive-spring, thus being able to achieve
sufficient traction and optimal stability for any operable load.
At the correct setting the 7” diameter pallet jack steer wheels
will be approximately ¼” off the ground with no load on the
pallet jack. The adjustment screw may need to be adjusted
periodically as the drive roller wears out to keep the
PowerPallet at the proper setting.
Figure 3: Screw-Jack Height Adjustment
If the screw is turned clock-wise all the way, the drive-wheel is at its maximum height setting. It might
not make contact with the ground.
If the screw is turned counter clock-wise all the way, the drive-wheel is at its minimum height setting,
thus achieving maximum traction with the ground in contact.
The factory setting is 2 clock-wise rotations from the minimum height setting.
Curb-Wheel Height Adjustment
To adjust the curb-wheel height, remove the bottom plate using the M3 wrench to unscrew the
fasteners (See Figure 4). Once the plate is removed, the curb-wheel can be set in 2 positions:
1.
Lower to the ground
: The flat side of the axle is positioned facing the ground and away from
the machine.
2.
Higher from the ground
: The flat side of the axle is positioned facing the machine and away
from the ground.
Once the desired height is set, place the bottom plate back and secure it with the M5 flat-head screws.
