Follow these steps for safe and effective operation of your pallet jack.
4.1. Moving the Pallet Jack
To move the pallet jack without a load, ensure the control lever is in the NEUTRAL position. This allows the handle to move freely and prevents accidental lifting or lowering.
4.2. Levantar unha carga
- Position the pallet jack: Carefully guide the forks completely under the pallet. Ensure the load is centered on the forks.
- Set the control lever: Move the control lever on the handle to the SUBIR posición.
- Pump the handle: Pump the handle up and down repeatedly. The forks will gradually lift the pallet. Continue pumping until the pallet is clear of the ground and ready for transport.

4.3. Transporting a Load
Once the load is lifted, move the control lever to the NEUTRAL position. This disengages the hydraulic pump, allowing you to pull or push the pallet jack and its load to the desired location. Ensure a clear path and maintain control of the handle.
4.4. Baixar unha carga
- Position the load: Carefully position the pallet over the desired resting spot.
- Set the control lever: Move the control lever on the handle to the INFERIOR position. The forks will slowly descend.
- Controlled descent: For a controlled descent, gently move the lever to the lower position. The speed of descent can be regulated by the lever.
- Alternatively, use the foot pedal: The pallet jack also features a foot pedal for lowering control. Press the foot pedal to lower the forks.
