OIL
Check the oil level every six months. The oil capacity is
about 0.3L. Restore the fluid level in the reservoir to 5mm
below the top; this must be done with the forks in the
lowered position.
Use the hydraulic oil ISO VG 32 or equivalent.
Oil viscosity should be 30cSt at 104° (40ºC).
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 pump 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 movable parts.
MAINTENANCE
SAFETY
For safe operation, please 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. 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.
(See Figure 2)
9. Make sure that length of the forks matches the length
of the pallet load. (See Figure 2)
10. Lower the forks to lowest height when the truck is not
being used.
