To operate the pallet truck, first ensure the handle is in the downward position to release the hydraulic pump. Insert the forks under the pallet and pump the handle to raise the load. Use the handle to steer and control the truck while moving loads.
Check for hydraulic fluid leaks and ensure the fluid level is adequate. If the problem persists, inspect for air in the hydraulic system, which might require bleeding. Consult the manual for detailed troubleshooting steps.
Regularly inspect the wheels for wear and debris. Clean them periodically and lubricate the bearings with appropriate grease to ensure smooth operation. Replace damaged wheels promptly.
It's recommended to check the hydraulic oil level monthly. Ensure the truck is on a level surface and the forks are lowered before checking. Top up with the recommended hydraulic oil as needed.
To lower the load safely, gently squeeze the release lever on the handle to control the descent of the forks. Ensure the area is clear of obstacles and personnel before lowering.
Store the pallet truck in a dry, sheltered area to prevent rust and corrosion. Ensure the forks are lowered and the handle is in the upright position to prevent tripping hazards.
If the handle is stuck, check for obstructions or debris around the handle mechanism. Lubricate the pivot point with appropriate oil. If the problem persists, inspect for mechanical damage.
The pallet truck includes safety features such as a robust braking system and ergonomic handle design to reduce strain. Always follow safe operating procedures to maximize safety.
The Clarke 7631700 PT540M is designed to handle loads up to 2500 kg. Exceeding this capacity can damage the truck and pose safety risks. Always adhere to the specified load limits.
To replace a damaged hydraulic seal, first release any pressure by lowering the forks completely. Disassemble the pump unit following the manual instructions, replace the seal, and reassemble. Test for leaks after replacement.
