BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Always follow your facility’s rules regarding wearing Personal Protective Equipment such as safety
shoes and protective glasses whenever 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 is evident, 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
(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.
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.
To lower the load, pull
up on the fingertip
control.
For free handle
movement, place the
fingertip control in the
neutral position.

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.
•Alwayslook 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.
•Alwaysmake 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 3 months. The thrust plate is equipped with three grease fittings. Apply grease under normal
conditions every 3 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:
SS45 MODEL
• Turn the hand pallet truck over so that the underside of the forks are accessible.
• Remove one locking pin (179415) with a 3/16 in. punch.
• Remove the bushing (179335) from the bracket.
• Adjust the bolts (179328). Turn counterclockwise to raise the fork tips and clockwise to lower
the fork tips.
• Replace the bushing (17933), through the bolt, and replace the locking pin (179415).
• When adjusted properly, the forks should be 3 in. low height from ground level in the
lowered position.

MAINTENANCE (CONT.)
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
Your hydraulic system is maintenance free. Do not add hydraulic oil unless there is, or was, a leak.
Use ISO VG 15 grade hydraulic oil or equal for SS45 model trucks. 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. (272 kg) (approximate).
3. Pump the truck to its maximum lift height.
4. Measure the vertical height of the exposed piston (215030) and refer to the chart below.
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 (173754) and extend the lift piston fully.
3. Remove screw (176223) and add the amount of oil determined by the chart in step 4.
4. Reinstall screw (176223) but do not tighten. Leave a 1/32 in. gap.
5. Pull up on the release lever (173754) and collapse the lift piston until oil starts to
ooze from the screw.
CAUTION! - It is extremely important that step 5 is performed. Other-
wise, 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 (176223) fully and return the truck upright.
