•
Watch your hands and feet. A foot or hand caught
between the stacker and a fixed object will be crushed
or even cut off.
•
If traveling forks first, keep both hands on the control
handle and be careful when changing direction of
travel. Keep your feet clear of the stacker.
•
Keep the stacker under control at all times. Operate at
a speed that allows you to stop safely. Be even more
careful on slippery or uneven surfaces. Do not run over
objects on the floor.
•
Perform all stacker movements smoothly and at a
speed that will give you time to react if an emergency
occurs.
Tipovers and falls are very serious accidents; you can be
crushed or even killed. To prevent injury, know where you
are at all times and follow the rules of safe stacker operation.
•
Be careful when working around docks, dockboards
and trailers. Stay away from the edge of docks and
ramps. Check to make sure the wheels of truck or trail-
ers are chocked.
•
Travel with the load or forks close to the ground.
Watch for overhead obstructions. Perform all stacker
movements smoothly and at a speed that will give you
time to react in an emergency.
•
Keep your hands and feet away from all moving parts
such as masts, chains, forks or wheels.
•
Never stand on or under the forks, or allow anyone
else to stand on or under them. Never ride on the
stacker or allow anyone else to ride. There is no safe
place to sit or stand.
•
Before you leave your stacker, be sure to lower the
forks to the floor. Shut the stacker off with the key.

INSTALLATION
A. INSPECTION
:
Upon receipt of the stacker, inspect the equipment completely
to determine if there is any shipping damage, and that the lift
is complete. Presto tests and inspects every piece of equip-
ment prior to shipment. If damage is apparent, a freight
claim must be filed with the freight company. Do not use the
stacker if there appears to be any damage. With the stacker
in a lowered position, check the following:
•
Check for signs of damage especially to the back
cabinet that houses the battery, electrical/hydraulic
power pack.
•
Check all electrical and hydraulic connections for
tightness.
•
Remove back panel.
1. Turn key switch to “OFF” position.
2. Push in E-stop and unscrew the red knob,
3. Lift off back panel. There is enough wire to the
key switch to allow the panel to be set aside.
•
Inspect for any bent or damaged parts.
B. REMOVING FROM PALLET
Each of the Presto stackers is shipped out on a pallet or skid.
Prior to removing the unit from the pallet or skid, remove
all tie down straps and packaging. Visually inspect the unit
as closely as possible.
With an overhead hoist or forklift, carefully pick up the unit
taking into consideration the center of gravity of the unit.
If you choose to pick the unit with an overhead hoist, use a
nylon sling and hoist with a minimum of 2,000-lb. capacity.
The nylon sling will not do any damage to the steel construc-
tion of stacker. Pick the unit up. On conventional masts use
the top cross member of the lift. On narrow masts the cover
must be removed to access lifting equipment. Be careful of
the stacker swinging once fully lifted off the pallet or skid.
Have all personnel completely cleared from the area.
Pick the unit up approximately six inches above the pallet
or skid. Once raised, remove the pallet or skid from below
the lift. Do not move the lift around in the air. Lower the
stacker on the ground.
C. PREPARATION FOR USE
This stacker left our factory in new condition. It has been
inspected and weight tested to assure all performance stan-
dards have been met.
Visually inspect the stacker for damage. Check for attach -
ments and accessories that may have been ordered. If there
is any damage or missing parts, report it to your carrier and
your Presto dealer immediately.
Remove all metal/plastic bands, cardboard and other material
