PALLET TRUCK ASSEMBLY
Note:
Individual trucks are assembled and ready to use. Pallet trucks purchased in crate quantities (6 units to a crate) require some assembly.
Tools needed for assembly:
hammer, flat screwdriver, 14mm wrench
*** IMPORTANT - SAFETY ***
Verify that spring safety pin is in place. The pin
should be well rested in the holes situated on
each side of the pump housing. If the safety pin
is not rested properly in one of the holes, put
pressure on the spring using a “C" clamp push-
ing down on the pump stem. Once pressure is
relieved on the pin, reinsert properly and remove
clamp slowly,
TO ATTACH HANDLE ASSEMBLY TO THE FRAME:
If handle pin’s center hole is
facing away from you, insert
pin from other side.
*** IMPORTANT - FACT ***
The up/down lever’s chain passes
through this center hole. If left this way,
the chain will have an “S" form and be
under too much tension, making the up/
down lever difficult to use accurately.
1.
Insert handle pin without the handle and
verify that the center hole is facing you.

4.
Insert handle pin into corresponding
holes and using a hammer, drive in one
spring pin on one side only.

*** IMPORTANT - CHAIN****
Before this step, make sure to feed the
chain on the outside of the piston stem
roller (see yellow arrow). If left in its
proper position, it will not be possible to
insert the handle pin and chain, break-
age may occur.
Align handle holes with pump housing
holes and push through handle pin (see
red arrow)
Make sure that handle pin is completely
through the handle and resting on the
other side.
