Product Usage Instructions

Before You Begin

Always follow your facility’s rules regarding wearing Personal Protective Equipment such as safety shoes and protective glasseswhenever operating, working with, or assembling or dismantling hand  pallet trucks.

Delivery Inspection:

Visually inspect hand pallet truck frame components and hydraulic unit for damage during shipment by carrier. If damage isevident, notify delivering carrier immediately and file necessary  claims. Test the hand pallet truck pump for proper operation. If the hydraulic pump does not respond to movement of the handle, an air lock may have developed during shipping. To remedy this, go to the user friendly TROUBLESHOOTING guide in this manual.

Operating Instructions

To raise the load, push down on the fingertip control. Pump the handle to raise the load from the floor. To lower the load, pull up on the fingertip control. NOTE: The neutral position disengages the pump from the lifting mechanism. This frees the handle, which makes pulling loads easier. In addition, the pump is not subject to shock pressures while the truck is in motion. For free handle movement, place the fingertip control in the neutral position.

Safety Procedures:

At the start of your shift, check the items listed below. Report any malfunction or unsafe conditions to your supervisor. Do not use this product until it is repaired.

Check Points:

  • Steering – Check full rotation
  • Hydraulic System – Check for excessive oil on exterior and check for function
  • Wheels – Check for wear, damage, and remove debris
  • Chassis/ Handle – Check for damage and remove debris
  • Lifting/ Lowering – Check for function
  • Labels – Check for readability

Maintenance

LUBRICATION All pivot points are equipped with permanently lubricated bushings and bearings. To increase bearing life, it is recommended that a few drops of light machine oil be applied at each pivot point every 6 months. The thrust plate is equipped with three grease fittings. Apply grease under normal conditions every 6 months.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

(Read and understand prior to using this product)

To raise the load, push down on the fingertip control. Pump the handle to raise the load from the floor.
To lower the load, pull up on the fingertip control.
For free handle movement, place the fingertip control in the neutral position.

NOTE: The neutral position disengages the pump from the lifting mechanism. This frees the handle, which makes pulling loads easier. In addition, the pump is not subject to shock pressures while the truck is in motion.

SAFETY PROCEDURES

(Read and understand prior to using this product)

  • Read and obey all labels on this product. If you have any questions about these, ask your supervisor.

  • Do not operate this hand pallet truck unless you are authorized and trained to do so.

  • Never overload your hand pallet truck. Stay within its rated capacity.

  • Do not operate this truck if damaged or not in proper working order.

  • Distribute the load evenly on the forks. Do not concentrate loads at one point or load one fork more than the other.

  • When the load impairs visibility, the hand pallet lift truck should be pulled and not pushed.

  • Always look where you are operating. Keep a clear view.

  • Only handle loads on flat level surfaces. Do not use a loaded truck on inclines or declines.

  • Never carry passengers.

  • Never put your feet, hands, or any other body part under the frame assembly.

  • Always yield right of way to pedestrians.

  • Do not allow your hand pallet truck to drop from one level to another. Even a drop of 1 in.
    (25 mm) more than doubles the effective load momentarily and results in a loading that can bend or break components.

  • Move loads only with the hand pallet truck in its lowest position.

  • Always make sure that the load is stable before moving to eliminate the opportunity for load shift.

  • Use extreme care when rounding corners. Too fast a speed could cause a hand pallet lift truck to tip. If loaded, the load could shift and fall.

  • When not in use, fully lower the forks.

DAILY INSPECTION

At the start of your shift, check the items listed below. Report any malfunction or unsafe conditions to your supervisor. Do not use this product until it is repaired.

MAINTENANCE

LUBRICATION
All pivot points are equipped with permanently lubricated bushings and bearings. To increase bearing life, it is recommended that a few drops of light machine oil be applied at each pivot point every 6 months. The thrust plate is equipped with three grease fittings. Apply grease under normal conditions every 6 months.

PUSH BAR LINKAGE ADJUSTMENT
If the forks do not rise evenly at the tips, or the roller levers begin to drag on the floor, the following adjustment is necessary:

LCS80 MODEL

  • Turn the hand pallet truck over so that the underside of the forks are accessible.
  • Remove one split pin (PL-20269) with a 3/16 in. punch.
  • Remove the pin (PL-20227) from the bracket.
  • Adjust the eyebolts (PH-20226). Turn counterclockwise to raise the fork tips and clockwise to lower the fork tips.
  • Replace the pin (PL-20227), through the eyebolt, and replace the split pin (PL-20269).
  • When adjusted properly, the forks should be 3-1/4 in. low height from ground level in the lowered position.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
Your hydraulic system is maintenance free. Do not add hydraulic oil unless there is, or was, a leak. Use Premium HVI hydraulic oil or equal. Other oils, fluids, or solvents may damage your hydraulic system. If you suspect additional oil is required, follow these steps:

  1. Check for and fix any possible oil leaks.
  2. Lower the truck and load with 600 lbs. (approximate).
  3. Pump the truck to its maximum lift height.
  4. Measure the vertical height of the exposed piston (7535745) and refer to the chart below.

Distance (inches)| 5-1/8 in.| 4-3/4 in.| 4-3/8 in.| 4 in.| 3-1/2 in.| 3-1/8 in.| 2-3/4 in.| 2-3/8 in.
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---
Oil to add (Fl. Oz.)| 0| 2.7| 3.0| 3.4| 3.7| 4.0| 4.4| 4.7

ADDING OIL (IF REQUIRED)

  1. Place and secure the truck on its right side (release valve facing the floor).

  2. Pull up on the release lever (PL-40274BDM) and extend the lift piston fully.

  3. Remove screw (221586A) and add the amount of oil determined by the chart in step 4.

  4. Reinstall screw (221586A) but do not tighten. Leave a 1/32 in. gap.

  5. Pull up on the release lever (PL-40274BDM) and collapse the lift piston until oil starts to ooze from the screw.
    CAUTION! – It is extremely important that step 5 is performed. Otherwise, air in the pump can force out the wiper seal (20066). Take care when adding oil not to introduce impurities into the hydraulic system.

  6. Tighten the screw (221586A) fully and return the truck upright.

TROUBLESHOOTING

CONDITION POSSIBLE CAUSE ACTION
Pump does not lift load. An air lock in the hydraulic system. Pull up on

fingertip control and hold while pumping the handle 8 to 10 times to bleed air from the system.
Lifting, neutral, and lowering do not function properly.| Chain anchor out of adjustment.| Turn nut (21094) on chain anchor clockwise until pumping action, while in neutral, does not raise forks.
Forks raise and sink with pump action.| Dirt or foreign particle caught in cone valve seat.| Pull up on fingertip control and hold while pumping the handle 8 to 10 times to purge the valve system.
Pump does not lift load to complete raised height.| Pump is low on oil.| Check for and fix any leaks. Then add oil as instructed in the MAINTENANCE section.
Forks are not lowering completely.| Push jam nut is loose. Push bars require adjustment.| Refer to Push Bar Linkage Adjustment in the MAINTENANCE section.

REGULATIONS

SELECTED OSHA REGULATIONS FOR LIFT TRUCKS

Note: Some or all of the following may not be applicable to your hand pallet lift truck.
The use of forklift trucks in the workplace is governed by various regulations. In the United States, the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has issued regulations which cover the majority of workplaces.
In addition, several states have implemented regulations which apply instead of the Federal regulations.
Check with your local OSHA office or provincial Labor Bureau to confirm which regulations govern your workplace.
Because of their wide applicability, this section of your manual lists several parts of the Federal OSHA regulations that might be of particular importance to your workplace.
The full text of the Federal regulations can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations at 29 CFR Section 1910.178.
The following citations are followed by a reference to the appropriate subparagraph of the regulations.
