Precautions
Improper operation of the equipment may result in operator injury, or load, and/or property damage.
The following precautions must be adhered to at all times:
Any person operating the machine must be trained and authorized to do so.
All warnings and instructions must be carefully read and understood before operating the device.
Do not operate in hazardous areas/environment.
Inspect the unit before use. Do not operate if anything seems out of place.
Do not operate the machine without the pallet-jack wheels mounted and secured properly on the wheel shaft.
Approved footwear must be worn while operating the device.
Observe applicable traffic regulations. Yield right of way to pedestrians. Slow down and sound horn at cross
aisles and wherever a clear sight of travel is absent or compromised.
Start, stop, travel, steer and brake smoothly. Slow down for turns and on uneven or slippery conditions that
could cause the truck to slide or overturn.
Leave sufficient room for braking depending on load being carried and speed of travel. Check braking distance
of the machine before operating it for work.
Do not load the pallet-jack beyond its rated load capacity.
Do not carry loads that the operator cannot handle manually. The PowerPallet is only meant to provide a
power-assist, and does not increase the load carrying capacity.
Make sure load is centered and located as far back as possible against the chassis.
Do not carry people or try to ride on the machine.
Do not operate the machine under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Regular daily inspection of the device, including drive wheel condition and brake performance, must be
performed by a qualified person. Any abnormal condition should be noted and the machine removed from use.
Follow all safety procedures required by the workplace, city, state and country where the machine will be used.
