:
1) To remove pallet stack, the yellow vertical Pallet Containment Mechanism (PCM) located on
each side of the upper pallet magazine opening must first be retracted into the side wall
pockets and locked out of the way.
2) Manually push the yellow PCM on one side into its retracted position inside the sidewall. While
holding the PCM in this retracted position with one hand, pull the black PCM LOCK OUT lanyard
outward with the other hand. Lock the PCM lanyard onto the small black post that will hold the
PCM in its retracted position. Be sure to verify that the PCM’s leading edge is inset from the
surface of the magazine. This enables the pallet stack to be removed from the magazine
without catching on the PCM. Repeat process on other side of the machine.
WARNING:
This
process will disable the pallet magazine safety feature and may result in a less stable pallet
stack. Caution should be exercised when attempting to unload the machine.
3) Once the pallet magazine is cleared, operator must enable the PCM again by pressing inward on
the PCM while releasing the Lock Out lanyard from the small black post. Test the spring loaded
PCM to verify that it is functioning properly again.

:
1) In the event that a defective pallet causes the Dstacker to malfunction, the operator will need
to remove the pallet stack to retrieve the problem pallet.
2) Using a forklift, remove the entire pallet stack
EXCEPT
for the bottom two pallets, which should
be left in the machine. Be sure to raise the pallet stack straight up above the black base before
backing away.
3) If the latches are still caught in the bottom-‐most pallet, lift the second pallet up and out of the
machine, ensuring to clear the top of the black base before removing it from the machine
magazine. Next lift the bottom pallet straight up slowly making sure the latches flip upward
releasing the pallet. Clean area and repeat the loading process above.
4) If at this point it appears that the one remaining pallet was simply jammed, (e.g. the lifting
latches were caught on one of the pallets’ cross members) try raising the pallet slightly until the
lifting latches fall into the opening between the top and bottom pallet boards. Verify that the
latch mechanisms are at the same height.
5) If the problem persists, contact QTEK Design Service at 519-‐453-‐1880.
