5. Mode d'emploi

Follow these steps for safe and effective operation of your pallet jack:

1. Engaging a Pallet:
   • Ensure the hand control lever is in the INFÉRIEUR position to fully lower the forks.
   • Carefully approach the pallet, aligning the forks with the pallet openings.
   • Push the pallet jack forward until the forks are fully inserted under the pallet.
2. Raising the Forks:
   • Move the hand control lever to the AUGMENTER position.
   • Pump the handle up and down repeatedly until the pallet is lifted clear of the floor. Ensure the load is stable.
3. Moving the Pallet Jack:
   • Move the hand control lever to the NEUTRE position. This disengages the hydraulic pump, allowing the handle to move freely for steering without affecting fork height.
   • Push or pull the pallet jack to your desired destination. Always push the load when possible for better control and visibility.
   • Maintain a slow, controlled speed, especially when turning or on uneven surfaces.
4. Abaissement des fourches :
   • Once at the destination, ensure the area is clear.
   • Move the hand control lever to the INFÉRIEUR position, or use the foot control, to slowly lower the forks until the pallet rests on the floor.
5. Disengaging a Pallet:
   • After the pallet is fully lowered, pull the pallet jack backward to remove the forks from under the pallet.

• Système hydraulique: Check the hydraulic fluid level regularly. Top up if necessary with recommended hydraulic oil. Inspect for any leaks around the pump and cylinders.
• Inspection des roues : Inspect the polyurethane wheels for wear, damage, or embedded debris. Replace worn wheels to maintain smooth movement.
• Fork and Frame Inspection: Check the forks and frame for any signs of bending, cracks, or damage. Do not use a damaged pallet jack.
