SAFETY
‰ WARNING! Ensure all Health and Safety, local authority, and
general workshop practice regulations and recommendations are strictly

heavy loads may be dangerous if not undertaken correctly.
☓Familiarize yourself with the application and limitations, as well as the
specific potential hazards peculiar to the truck.
✓ Maintain the truck in good condition (use an authorised service agent).
✓ Replace or repair damaged parts. Use genuine parts only. Non authorised
parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
✓ Use a qualified person to lubricate and maintain the truck. DO NOT use brake
fluid to top up hydraulic unit. Use Sealey hydraulic oil only.
✓ Keep the truck clean for best and safest performance. DO NOT use on
tarmacadam when fully laden as the wheels may sink in.
✓ Locate truck in an adequate working area for its function, keep area clean
and tidy and free from unrelated materials.
‰ WARNING! Use truck on flat, level, solid ground, preferably concrete.
Ensure the floor over which the truck will be transported is swept clean and

✓ Keep children and non essential persons away from the loading/unloading and
transporting area.
✓ Keep hands and body clear of the edge and underside of the platform when
operating the truck.
✓ Maintain correct balance and footing. Ensure the floor is not slippery and
wear non slip shoes.
‰ WARNING! Ensure load is placed level and centrally on truck platform
and if necessary strap load in place before attempting to lift, lower, or
transport. When raised, check that the platform will not foul on the handle
and/or your hand when lowering the load.
‰ WARNING! Use the truck with diligence. DO NOT allow truck to knock into
anything. Even when unladen, the truck is heavy and if misused could cause
serious damage or personal injury. Continually monitor transportation, lifting
and lowering operation.
✓ Take care to ensure you can view the way ahead when moving the truck. Take
special care when approaching blind corners.
✓ Before lifting check that there are no overhead obstructions.
✓ Engage the wheel locks before attempting to raise or lower the platform.

QUICKLY TO A SAFE DISTANCE. DO NOT TRY TO HOLD OR STEADY a heavy load.
Failure to follow this instruction may cause serious personal injury.
✓ Ensure the truck is fully lowered before attempting to transport a load.
✓ Before lowering the platform, ensure there are no obstructions underneath
the platform and that all persons are standing clear of the truck.
✓ The lowering speed is a fixed rate regardless of the load weight. Stop
lowering by releasing the valve control lever on the handle.
‰ WARNING! DO NOT exceed the rated capacity of the truck.
☓ DO NOT use the truck if a part is missing or damaged.
☓ DO NOT load the truck so that it is top-heavy. Ensure loads are
evenly placed on the truck platform.
☓ DO NOT ride on the truck or allow any person to be transported

ASSEMBLY
-
A minimum of two people will be required to lift the truck out of its packaging. Alternatively, cut and fold down flat one end of the box and wheel the truck out.
-
FITTING THE HANDLE.
-
At the back of the truck there are two upstanding sockets to receive the bent loop handle, fig.1D.
Partially unscrew the two locking bolts that pass into the sockets so that they no longer protrude into the sockets. Drop the ends of the bent chrome handle into the sockets and tighten the bolts until the handle is held firmly. -
Model HPT400H has a different handle fixing arrangement. The ends of the chrome handle have flanges which sit down onto flat platforms at either side of the truck, see fig.5X. The handle is retained by two large socket cap bolts inserted from underneath. You will require a 10mm Allen Key to tighten the bolts. Place a split washer followed by a plain washer over each bolt before inserting and tightening.
-
FITTING THE FOOT PEDAL.
-
Slide the end of the foot pedal into the socket situated centrally between the two handle uprights, see fig.1E. On some models the foot pedal retaining bolt, see fig.1F, screws directly into the material of the foot pedal stem. In this case place a split washer over the bolt followed by a plain washer, before inserting the bolt. On other models the bolt passes directly through the stem and the socket and is retained with a plain washer followed by a split washer followed by a nut. Ensure the fixing arrangement is tight enough to hold the pedal firmly in place (do not over tighten).
-
CONNECTING THE CONTROL CABLE.
-
Remove the cable guide bush, fig.2B, from the free end of the cable and feed the end of the cable and cable sheath through the cable guide tubes welded to the handle and the underside of the frame. See fig.1G and fig.2A. The exact position and number of the guides may vary from model to model. Once the cable has been fed through the guides slide the bush back over the cable and onto the sheath.
-
Feed the cable through the hole in the bush retaining bracket and then through the hole in the clamping bolt on the actuating lever, see fig.2C. Now screw the guide bush into the bracket with a 12mm spanner, see fig.2B. Pull the end of the cable to so that there is no play in the movement of the lever mounted on the handle. Hold the clamping bolt, fig.2C steady with a 12mm ring spanner and tighten the nut on the other side of the lever with a 13mm ring spanner.
OPERATION
-
BEFORE FIRST USE.
-
Before using the truck for the first time purge any air from the hydraulic circuit by pumping the foot pedal 10 to 15 times whilst holding
the release lever, fig.3A, in.
-
To test the truck, release the lever which will close the hydraulic valve. Pump the foot pedal, fig.1E and raise the truck platform to its
highest position and then pull the valve lever, fig.3.A to lower the platform, (the platform may be slow to descend immediately from its
highest point). If the platform fails to descend adjust the cable length to remove excess play in the release lever movement. -
