chain through the slot in the other end of the pedal (fig.1.C)
4.1.8. Release the pressure from the foot pedal slowly. Check that the adjusting nut is situated securely beneath the foot pedal.
4.1.9. Retain the handle assembly by driving another roll pin through the other end of the handle pivot pin (fig.1.d).

WarNiNg! always transport a load with the pallet raised from the ground by only
20 to 30mm.
WarNiNg! Pallets with an enclosed entry should not be used for lifting a load as
the scissor action of the jack will force the woodwork apart. Only euro type pallets
can be used to raise a load.
5.1.
Before using the truck you must read and understand the safety instructions in Section 1.
The truck should only be operated by those persons who have been trained in its use.
5.2.
The operator must be physically capable of pushing or pulling the load and must also be
capable of stopping a rolling load.
5.3.
Before lifting any load the operator should check that the pallet is the correct width and
length for the truck and that the pallet itself is not damaged.
5.4.
The operator should ensure that the load on the pallet is safe to move. If the load appears to be loosely stacked, unevenly distributed,
too high or too wide it should be repacked safely before moving. Also check that the weight of the load is within the capacity of the
truck.
5.5.
lowering the truck
(fig.2.1). Before inserting the truck into the pallet ensure that the truck forks
are in their lowest position by pulling the operating lever into the upper position and holding it
there until the truck has settled down to the lowest level.
5.6.
Slow lift position
(fig.2.2).
The lever can now be released and will return to the middle position.
Push the truck into the pallet ensuring that it is fully inserted. If the pallet is shorter than the forks
the load should be placed at the centre point of the length of the forks.
5.7.
Pump the handle to raise the load slightly in preparation for transporting the load. When the
handle is pumped in this position the load only rises slowly. Always transport a load with the truck
in the lowest position.
5.8.
due care should be taken when manoeuvring a load to ensure that no collision takes place with
any objects or people.
5.9.
The faster the truck is moved the more difficult it will be to stop. Therefore proceed at a slow and
even pace.
5.10.
Bring the truck to a stop where required and lower the load to the floor by pulling the operating
lever to its highest position and holding it there until the load has settled to the floor. Alternatively
the load can be lowered by pressing the foot pedal (fig.3.A).
5.11.
It is not recommended that the load is lowered whilst the truck is still moving as a sudden stop
may dislodge the load causing damage to property and/or people.
5.12.
Quick lift position (fig.2.3).
To lift a pallet quickly push the operating lever to its lowest position
where it will latch.
5.13.
Pump the handle up and down to lift the load. When the forks reach their maximum height the lifting action will stop even if you
continue to pump the handle. As the load rises the stabilising pins attached to the legs either side of the wheels (fig.3.B) will begin to
make contact with the ground. Above the height of 300mm the rear wheels are no longer in contact with the ground. This is a safety
feature designed to prevent the moving of the load when the forks are raised to a high level.
5.14.
When the truck is not in use, lower the forks and park the truck where it will not be a hazard.

6.1.
The operating lever mechanism is adjusted in the factory but should the adjustment be lost or the mechanism not perform as it should
it may be necessary to re-adjust to restore correct operation.
6.2.
Before making any adjustments first check that the oil level is correct. See Maintenance section below.
6.3.
Test the performance of the truck in each lever position. If it does not function correctly in any position make adjustments to the nut at
the end of the release rod chain (see part no.104 on the pump assembly parts diagram).
6.4.
If the quick lift function will not operate or the forks will not lift, turn the adjusting nut anticlockwise.
6.5.
If the slow lift function will not operate or the forks will not lower, turn the nut clockwise.
6.6.
If turning the nut at the end of the release rod chain does not cure the problem make further adjustments in conjunction with the
adjusting bolt beneath the release pedal (see part no.318 on the pump assembly parts diagram). Turn the bolt in the same direction
as the adjusting screw. Make small changes to each adjustment in turn until the truck functions properly.
7. maiNteNaNce
NOte:
The screw situated towards the top of the piston has a dual purpose. The screw is loosened when purging air from the system and
also is removed when the oil requires topping up (fig.1.e).
7.1.
If the forks will not rise fully the oil level should be topped up. otherwise the oil level should be checked every six months. only use
hydraulic oil which conforms to Sealey hydraulic oil.
7.2.
To purge air from the system loosen the screw at the top of the piston. Push the handle downwards slowly to release any air then
re-tighten the screw.
7.3.
Apply a long life grease to all bearings and shafts once a month.
