location.
TO LOWER
Move the control lever into the LOWER position until desired height has been reached.
NOTE: The lever should automatically move into the NEUTRAL position when released. If this does not happen, adjust
accordingly.
MAINTENANCE
All bushings and bearings have been lubricated at the factory. To increase their life, it is suggested that regular
maintenance be performed. Using the appropriate grease for the environment, lubricate the grease fittings every 6
months (refer to D119 and D202 on parts lists). Harsh environments may require more frequent maintenance.
DAILY
Visually check and do not use if any of the following are visible:
1. Oil leaks.
2. Structural deformation of arms, forks, or any other component.
3. Unusual noise or binding of the lifting mechanism.
MONTHLY
1. Check hydraulic oil level (more frequently for high use applications). See "Adding Hydraulic Oil" section.
2. Verify that all labels are in place and in good condition.
3. Clean off dirt and debris.
YEARLY
Change oil (more frequently if color has substantially darkened or if the oil feels gritty).
NOTE: If hydraulic oil is milky white in color, water is in the hydraulic system. Change the hydraulic oil immediately.
ADDING HYDRAULIC OIL TO PUMP RESERVOR
NOTE: Use standard hydraulic oil / jack oil, SAE grade 10 (ISO Viscosity grade 32).
1. Ensure forks are in lowered position.
2. Remove drain plug.
3. Add hydraulic oil until level of oil is at bottom of hole.
4. Replace drain plug.
"Bleeding" air from the hydraulic system
When the unit is new, recently serviced or transported over a bumpy surface, air may get entrapped in the hydraulic
system. To remove (bleed) air from the system:
1. Squeeze and hold the control lever.
2. While squeezing the control lever, pump the handle several times.
3. Repeat the procedure as necessary.
