Raising and lowering the deck:
To raise and lower the deck, the lifter is equipped with a manual winch.
Use Instructions:
This product is a “manually-propelled high lift industrial truck” according to the national standard ANSI/ITSDF
B56.10-2012 (“B56.10”). Acquire a copy of B56.10, which is available at no cost through the ITSDF website
(
www.itsdf.org
), and review the operation recommendations. Instructions in this manual are meant to
supplement
those recommendations.
ONLY use this device after completing the training program outlined in B56.10, sections 4.17 and 4.18.1-.4.
Develop safe working habits and an awareness of hazardous conditions occurring or present during operation of the
lifter.
Inspect the area where the lifter will be used
before each use
to identify unusual operating conditions. Implement
additional safety precautions as conditions require. Conditions might include:
1. Irregularities in the floor/surface;
2. Debris or other obstructions on the floor/surface;
3. Unsound surfaces, i.e. surfaces that cannot support your weight plus the weight of the lifter and a full capacity
load.
Perform the following
function test before each use
:
1. Raise and lower the deck and confirm normal operating condition of the lift mechanisms.
2. Test the casters/wheels: wheels should roll smoothly, should not be severely worn, and should be rigidly
fastened to the frame of the lifter.
Inspect the lifter as recommended in the “Inspections & Maintenance” section of this manual (p. 14-15). Use the
lifter only if it is in normal operating condition.
