Operating Instructions; Parking; Lifting; Moving - AJ BOOST Gebrauchsanleitung

6. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

When operating the truck, the operator has to wear safety shoes.
• The truck is intended to be used for indoor applications with ambient
temperatures between +5°C and + 40°C.
• The operating lighting must be minimum 50 Lux.
• It is not allowed to use the truck on angled surfaces.
• Never leave a loaded pallet truck unattended.

6.1 Parking

Lower the forks to the lowest position and park the hand pallet truck on a smooth
and even level ground where the truck not disturbs any other operations. If
equipped with a brake use the brake for parking the truck acc. to the description
further below.

6.2 Lifting

Check that the load does not exceed the loading capacity of the pallet truck. Roll
the pallet truck with its forks slowly under the pallet/load until the back end of the
fork rests against the load (Fig.6).
Shift the operating lever down to the Lifting position. Lift the load by up- and
down movements of the tiller arm.
The load must be evenly distributed across both forks.
DO NOT OVERLOAD THE TRUCK!
6.3 Lowering
DO NOT PUT FOOT OR HAND UNDER THE LIFTING MECHANISM!
Lower the load by shift the operating lever up to the lowering position carefully.
By releasing the lever, the lowering movement will stop. Ensure there is adequate
clearance behind, then move the pallet truck away.

6.4 Moving

• Do not operate the truck on a slope or inclined surface.
• Watch difference of floor level when moving lifter. Load could fall down
• Make the load stable to prevent it from falling down.
• The truck might be not equipped with a brake. In this case the braking
distance is longer and depends on the operator.
If equipped, release the brake.
Move the truck by pushing or pulling the tiller arm. The tiller arm is connected to
the steering rollers. The wheels are steered automatically by moving or steering
the tiller arm.

6.5 Malfunctions

If there are any malfunctions or the truck is inoperative, please stop using it,
place the truck at a safe place. Avoid further usage. Inform immediately the
manager and, or call your service.

7. REGULAR MAINTENANCE

• Only qualified and trained personnel are allowed to do service on this truck.
• Before servicing the truck, remove the load and lower the forks to the lowest
position.
• Completely immobilize pallet truck before working on components that might
pinch fingers orhands if movement were allowed.
• Use approved and from your dealer released original spare parts.
• Please consider that oil leakage of hydraulic fluid can cause failures and
accidents.
• It is allowed to adjust the pressure valve only from trained service technicians.
• Waste material like oil, used batteries or other must be probably disposed and
recycled according to the national regulations and if necessary brought to a
recycling company.
• All bushings and bearings have been lubricated at the factory. To increase
their life, regular maintenance is recommended. Using the appropriate grease
for the application and lubricate each grease fitting every 6 months.
• Harsh environments may require more frequent maintenance.
If you need to change the wheels, please follow the instructions above. The
wheels must be round and they should have no abnormal abrasion.

7.1 Maintenance

DAILY
• See chapter 5
MONTHLY
• Check hydraulic oil level (more frequently for high use applications).
• All bearings and shafts are provided with long-life grease at the factory. Long-
life grease should be applied to the lubrication points at monthly intervals or after
each time the truck is cleaned. Clean off dirt and debris.
EVERY SIX MONTH
Change oil (more frequently if color has substantially darkened or feels gritty).
The required hydraulic fluid type is ISO VG32, its viscosity should be 30cSt at
40°C, total volume is about 0.3l.
NOTE: If hydraulic oil is milky white in color, water is in the hydraulic system.
Change the hydraulic oil immediately.
Before starting operating the truck, ensure that all markings and decals are on
the right place and not
damaged (acc. to fig. 3). If necessary replace the decals.

7.2 Deaeration of the hydraulic system

Air may find its way into the pump during transportation, tilting or usage on
uneven ground. It can result in not elevating forks whilst pumping in the Raise
position.
The air can be removed in the following way: Move the control handle to the
Lower position, then move the tiller down several times. Thereafter normal
operation can be resumed.

7.3 Adding hydraulic oil to the pump reservoir

• Ensure forks are in lowered position.
• Lay pallet truck on either side. Position drain plug of hydraulic cylinder up.
• Remove the screw plug.
• Add hydraulic oil until level of oil is at bottom of hole.
• Replace drain plug, upright the truck
