Introduction
To better understand the proper use and safe operation of your JET PTW Series Premium Pallet Truck, please
take a few minutes to carefully read and follow the instructions contained in this manual. When finished reading
and understanding the manual, please file in a safe and convenient location for the life of the pallet truck.
You will notice several important features about your JET Premium Pallet Truck. It features a 2-7/8” lowered
height, rounded fork tips and nylon entry/exit rollers to provide easy entry and exit of pallets.
A large, easy-to-use ergonomic handle with a 200
°
turning radius allows maximum maneuverability. The
articulated steer wheel axle helps maintain floor contact on uneven surfaces.
The cast iron pump design features top-of-the-stroke and overload by-pass systems, hardened and chromed
ram and piston, and a single point valve service for easy replacement. A special lowering valve allows you to
control the rate of descent and prevent “shock” loads.

maintenance and service attention.
