EPJ-25 ELECTRIC PALLET JACK—OPERATOR’S MANUAL
14
ISSUE DATE: DECEMBER 7, 2020 REV. 1.0 (PART # 038-1074E)
Load Handeling
Handle only loads arranged for stability and always use caution. Raise and lower
the load smoothly to prevent the load from falling.
1. Approach the load slowly.
2. Move the truck slowly into position so that the forks are within pallet or skid,
and the load is centered over the forks and as far back as possible.
3. Push the button to raise the forks and lift the load.
4. Lead the truck by the control handle with the load trailing except when in
confined areas. Ramps should be traveled with operator uphill of truck when
empty, or operator downhill of truck with load on forks standing off to side of
truck.
5. Always look in the direction of travel. Move slowly and check clearances
when approaching obstructions.
6. Do not make sudden starts and stops. Operate truck smoothly and gradu-
ally.
7. Travel slowly and squarely around corners. Remember that the trailing load
wheels do not follow the turn path of the drive wheel. Instead they tend to
cut the corner.
8. Line up the truck with the unloading area.
9. Stop the truck and check the load alignment with surrounding objects.
10. Be careful not to damage or move adjacent loads and objects.
11. Lower the forks by pulling the lowering lever until the load is resting on its
own.
12. Move the truck back until the forks are clear of the pallet.
Moving a Disabled Truck
Do not attempt to move a disabled truck; notify your supervisor or proper
authority.
Always be sure the load and load center are within the capacity of the
truck. If in doubt check the nameplate.
