Operating the pallet truck
5.1
Preparation before first use
After opening the packaging check that all components are complete and undamaged. If
components are missing or damaged, contact your dealer immediately and use the device
only after approval by the dealer.
a)
The operator should read all warning labels and notes in this manual and on the equipment
carefully before use.
b)
Only operate the machine on level surfaces.
c)
Only use the pallet truck after you have checked its condition. Pay particular attention to
the tyres or rollers, the drawbar, the fork unit, the lever plate etc.
d)
To pull the pallet truck, always set the control lever to the driving position. This makes
the drawbar move more easily and relieves the load on the hydraulic pump housing. This
extends the life of the hydraulic seals and valves.
e)
When transporting goods, there should be no people within a radius of 600mm.
f)
Do not transport goods as shown in fig. 5/B.
g)
Avoid loads that exceed the maximum capacity.
h)
In unfamiliar surroundings or conditions, the user should be particularly careful when
handling the pallet truck.
