OIL
Check the oil level every six months. Add hydraulic
fluid as needed. This must be done with the forks in the
lowered position.
Use the hydraulic oil ISO-VG32 or equivalent. Oil viscosity
should be 30cSt at 104°F.
HOW TO EXPEL AIR FROM THE PUMP UNIT
Air may enter the unit over time or when the seals are
replaced. Air can be expelled in two ways:
1. Remove guide screw and slowly pump the handle
until oil overflows. Stop pumping the handle and
tighten the guide screw. (See Figure 3)
2. Lift the control lever to the RELEASE position and
move 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, the
axles, the handle, the forks and lift and lower control.
LUBRICATION
Use motor oil or grease to lubricate all moveable parts.
For safe operation of the heavy duty scissor lift pallet truck,
please read all warning signs and instructions here and on
the pallet truck prior to use.
1. Do not operate the 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. We advise that operators 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 4)
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.
9. Make sure the length of the forks matches the length of
the pallet load.
10. Lower the forks to lowest height when the truck is not
being used.
11. Do not move the truck unless the forks are 11
"
off the
ground or lower.
12. Always lower forks by slowly lifting the positon trigger.
Rapid lowering may damage the truck or cargo.
