6. OPERATION
6.1.
Safety instructions
• A damaged or malfunctioning machine must never be used. If damage or
malfunctions are discovered during daily inspection or function tests, the machine
must be tagged and removed from service.
• The operator may not wear any loose objects, such as necklaces, rings, scarves …
as they may become entangled in the machine and thus cause harm to the
operator.
• Do not operate a pallet truck unless you have been trained or authorised to do so.
• Do not exceed the maximum load capacity.
• Wear safety shoes and safety gloves.
• When goods are being transported or lifted, bystanders should keep a minimum
distance of 1 metre.
• Make sure that the flooring can support the combined weight of the pallet truck
and its load.
• Be aware of hazardous situations like ledges or potholes, bumps and floor
obstructions, debris, overhead obstructions and high-voltage conductors.
• When loading and unloading the pallet truck, always do this with the forks in the
lowest position.
• In normal conditions the pallet truck moves without a lot of effort or noises.
6.2. Operating instructions
Please see chapter 7 for the daily maintenance schedule.
1. Positions of the operating lever:
On the drawbar of the pallet truck, you can find the control handle which can be regulated in
three positions:
1
2
3
1. UP = to lower the forks
2. NEUTRAL = to move the load
3. LOWER = to pump up the forks
If the pallet truck doesn’t lower or lift, see troubleshooting chapter 8.
2. Adjustments of the operating lever
Adjustment of neutral position:
1. Place the operating lever in the normal position.
2. Push the tiller handle to the lowest position.
3. Regulate the adjusting nut and screw on the linkage so that, when the tiller handle is
pumped, the forks neither raise nor lower.
