Set Up (continued)
Installation of Retractable Plungers
Your Lectro-Truck should be properly lubricated prior to operation
Lay the Lectro-Truck down, with the toe plate facing up, over some paper on the floor. Using a Teflon-
based lubricant, (not WD-40), lubricate the top 12 inches of the drive screw, wiping off any excess. Run
the inner frame all the way out and back in a co uple of times to distribute the lubricant over the drive
screw and through the drive nut.
NOTE
In the lubrication process, when your inner frame is extended all the way out, you will notice four rollers -
two at the top of the inner frame and two at the bottom of the outer frame. Spray the rollers with the
same Teflon-based lubricant you used on the drive screw. Be sure to get the lubricant between the roller
and the axle. The roller channels on the inner and the outer frame should also be sprayed with the
Teflon-based lubricant. You will expose both of these channels by extending the inner frame out. After
lubricating the channels run your inner frame in and stand your Lectro-Truck upright.
NOTE
.
Installing your Retractable Plungers: When installing the Plunger in the Leverage/Hook Bar put a couple drops of thread
locker (Red Loctite™ etc.) onto the threads of the Plunger (the one without the nut). Then thread the Plunger in until the threads
are about 1/8" away from the Lectro Truck side and let stand for 15-20 min. for thread locker to set. You then should be able to pull
the spring loaded head of the Plunger to release the pin from the "catch" hole in Lectro Truck side. When installing Retractable
Plunger latches for the extension handle, pull the plunger head out so the pin is retracted inside of the thread shaft. Then thread
the Plunger in until it touches the extension handle. At this point back out the plunger by turning counterclockwise about one turn
to give the extension room to slide. Then tighten the 3⁄4" Nut to hold Plunger in place.
Diagram #2
Never use grease on the drive screw. It will pick up dust, grit and small particles,
distributing them in th e drive nu t where they collect and retard the operation of the
bearings and your unit. While WD-40 is excellent for a number of uses, do not use
WD-40 on the drive screw. WD-40 evaporates too quickly, leaving you no lubrication
on the drive screw.
Although some lubricating is done at the plant, we recommend you do a com plete
lubrication of your Lectro-Truck upon receipt and prior to using it. Lubrication must be
done on a regular basis to insure the proper operation of your Lectro-Truck. If you use
the Lectro-Truck on a daily or regular basis, it should be lubricated once a month.
