4.1 Critical Procedure for Proper Wheel Traction
Proper Drive Wheel traction is obtained for the PowerStak Straddle unit using this Procedure. All
PowerStak Models are designed and intended to operate on an unfinished concrete floor surface.
If any PowerStak is operated on smooth or polished concrete, sealed concrete, epoxy sealed floor,
linoleum or other smooth surfaces Drive Wheel traction performance may be affected; If traction
issues are encountered Rubber Drive Wheels are available through special order. Please contact
Customer Service at Presto Lifts 1-800-343-9322. When any PowerStak is operated on a wet, oily,
powdery, sandy or non-uniform liquid or granular surface Drive Wheel traction performance will be
affected and loss of traction will occur.
Straddle legs must be adjusted and secured in accordance with these
procedures.
Setup procedure for straddle legs:
1.
PowerStak unit located on flat, clean uniform surface, unloaded, forks raised a minimum of
1” off the floor.
2. Determine the desired/required straddle width dimension (2 inches greater than pallet
width, 1” on each side of the pallet or load, up to a maximum of 50 inches inside width)
3. Be sure to fully loosen all bolts before moving stabilizing legs. A 14mm allen wrench is
required for the bolts. Adjust one stabilizer leg at a time – using a pry bar, pinch bar, rubber
mallet etc. move the straddle leg out from the base tube to the desired position. Do not
move too far, see picture below, if the ¼” wide painted White Line is visible the leg is pulled
out too far; Maximum movement 5 ½” for each leg for 2200 pound units.
4. Adjust second Straddle Leg – using a pry bar, pinch bar, rubber mallet etc. move the
straddle leg out from inside the base tube to the desired straddle width position.
Straddle Legs must be symmetrically adjusted, both legs adjusted to the
same extended dimension.
Set up procedure for PowerStak straddle legs with five bolts:
1. Back off all bolts.
2. Tighten Bolt 1 to 85 foot pounds.
3. Tighten Bolts two (2) to 85 foot pounds.
4. Tighten Bolt 3 to 85 foot pounds.
