WARNING! Operator must read and understand
instructions here and on truck prior to use.
On the handle of the pallet truck, you will find the control
lever, which can be set in three positions.
(See Figure 1)
Figure 1
- DOWN = to lower the forks
- NEUTRAL = to move the load
- UP = to raise the forks
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
DOWN 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
DOWN position and pump the handle up and down
several times.

OPERATION
1.
If the forks elevate while pumping in the NEUTRAL
position, turn the setting screw clockwise until
pumping the handle does not raise the forks and the
NEUTRAL position functions correctly.
2. If the forks descend while pumping in the NEUTRAL
position, turn the setting screw counterclockwise until
the forks do not lower.
3. If the forks do not descend when the control lever is
in the DOWN position, turn the setting screw clockwise
until raising the control lever lowers the forks. Then
check the NEUTRAL position as per steps 1 and 2.
4.
If the forks do not lift while pumping in the UP position,
turn the setting screw counterclockwise until the forks
elevate while pumping in the UP position. Then check
the NEUTRAL and DOWN position as per steps 1, 2
and 3.
NOTE: When viewing the truck from the handle
side, the setting screw is located on the right
side of the pump above the right wheel. The
truck will lower faster or slower depending on
how far in or out the screw is adjusted.
