INSTALLATION
A. INSPECTION
:
Upon receipt of the stacker, inspect the equipment com-
pletely to determine if there is any shipping damage,
and that the lift is complete. Presto tests and inspects
every piece of equipment prior to shipment. If damage
is apparent, a freight claim must be filed with the freight
company. Do not use the stacker if there appears to be
any damage. With the stacker in a lowered position,
check the following:
•
Check for signs of damage especially to the
back cabinet that houses the battery, electrical/hy-
draulic power pack.
•
Check all electrical and hydraulic connec-
tions for tightness.
•
Remove back panel.
1. Turn key switch to "OFF" position.
2. Push in E-stop and unscrew the red knob,
3. Lift off back panel. There is enough wire
to the key switch to allow the panel to be set
aside.
•
Inspect for any bent or damaged parts.
B. REMOVING FROM PALLET
PowerStak is shipped out on a pallet or skid. Prior to
removing the unit from the pallet or skid, remove all tie
down straps and packaging. Visually inspect the unit
as closely as possible.
With an overhead hoist or forklift, carefully pick up the
unit taking into consideration the center of gravity of the
unit. If you choose to pick the unit with an overhead
hoist, use a nylon sling and hoist with a minimum of
2,000-lb. capacity. The nylon sling will not do any dam-
age to the steel construction of stacker. Pick the unit
up. On conventional masts use the top crossmember of
the lift. On narrow masts the cover must be removed
to access lifting equipment. Be careful of the stacker
swinging once fully lifted off the pallet or skid. Have
all personnel completely cleared from the area.
Pick the unit up approximately six inches above the
pallet or skid. Once raised, remove the pallet or skid
from below the lift. Do not move the lift around in the
air. Lower the stacker on the ground.
C. PREPARATION FOR USE
PowerStak left our factory in new condition. It has been
inspected and weight tested to assure all performance
standards have been met.
Visually inspect the stacker for damage. Check for at-
tachments and accessories that may have been ordered.
If there is any damage or missing parts, report it to your
carrier and your Presto dealer immediately.
Remove all metal/plastic bands, cardboard and other
material used for shipping purposes.
Check to see if chains are in place, and that the lift sys-
tem is in working order. Inspect for oil leaks.
Connect battery cable. Check cables and wires on bat-
tery charger as well as battery.
Note: The travel speed is preset at the factory. For
travel speed adjustment, please contact customer
service at Presto Lifts 1-800-343-9322
