Adjusting the Control Handle: 3 Positions
On the Handle (1) of this pallet jack, you can find the Control Lever (10), which can be placed in three
positions (Figure 5):
LOWER - to lower load, pull up on the control lever.
NEUTRAL - place the control lever in this position while pulling the pallet jack or load.
LIFT - to raise the load, push down on the control lever and pump the handle to raise the load.
Figure 5
Note:
These three positions have been set at the factory to work appropriately as soon as the
handle is attached. However, if the forks do not raise or lower as expected, adjust the control
positions using the following instructions. (See Figure 6 on the following page.)
1. The Socket Head Cap Screw (33) is designed to adjust the three control positions. Use a
wrench and a flat screwdriver to loosen the Hex Nut (32) and turn the Socket Head Cap
Screw (33) clockwise, or counter-clockwise. Check to see if the pallet jack works well in the
three control positions. If more adjustments are necessary, proceed to the following steps.
2. Place the control handle in the "Neutral" position. If the fork frame does not rise when you
pump the pallet jack, skip to step 5. If the fork frame does rise when you pump the pallet
jack, turn the Socket Head Cap Screw (33) CLOCKWISE until the fork frame does not rise.
3. Keep the control handle in the "Neutral" position. If the fork frame does not move when the
handle is pumped, skip to step 4 without any adjustment. If the fork frame lowers, turn the
Socket Head Cap Screw (33) COUNTER-CLOCKWISE until the fork frame does not lower.
4. Pull the Control Lever (10) upward to the "Lower" position. If the fork frame lowers, skip to
step 5 without any adjustment. If the fork frame does not lower, turn the Socket Head Cap
Screw (33) CLOCKWISE again until the fork frame lowers.
