OIL
CHECK THE OIL LEVEL EVERY SIX MONTHS. THE OIL
CAPACITY IS ABOUT 0.3L. RESTORE THE FLUID LEVEL TO
5MM BELOW THE TOP; THIS MUST BE DONE WITH THE FORKS
IN THE LOWERED POSITION.
Use hydraulic oil iso vg 32 or equivalent.
Oil viscosity should be 30cst at 104°f (40°c).
HOW TO EXPEL AIR FROM THE PUMP UNIT
Air may enter the unit over time or when the seals are
replaced. To expel the air, lift the control lever to the
LOWER position and move the handle up and down
several times.
DAILY CHECK AND MAINTENANCE
Daily checks of the pallet truck can limit wear and tear
on the unit. Pay special attention to the wheels, axles,
handle, forks and lift and lower controls.
LUBRICATION
Use motor oil or grease to lubricate all moveable parts.
MAINTENANCE
SAFETY
For safe operation of the pallet truck, read all warning
signs and instructions here and on the pallet truck prior
to use.
1. Do not operate the pallet truck unless you are
familiar with it and have been trained and
authorized to do so.
2. Do not use the truck on sloping ground.
3. Never place any part of your body in the lifting
mechanism or under the forks or load. Do not carry
passengers.
4. We advise that operators should wear gloves and
safety shoes.
5. Do not handle unstable or loosely stacked loads.
6. Do not overload the truck.
7. Always center loads on the forks, not at the end of
the forks. (See Figure 2)
8. The capacity of the truck assumes an evenly
distributed load with the center of the load being at
the halfway point of the length of the forks.
9. Make sure that length of the forks matches the
length of the pallet load.
10. Lower the forks to lowest height when the truck is not
being used.
