Tripod Attachment (continued)
Setting the Unit Upright from the Tripod
Lectro Truck assists you in setting the load upright, so you will not be doing any unnecessary lifting.
•
Run the toe plate all the way down until it is resting on the floor or ground.
•
Stand behind the unit and place your left hand on the guard above the switches and place your right
hand on the wheels down/load up switch.
•
Position yourself so you can apply upward pressure on the guard above the switches with your left
hand.
•
Press the wheels down/load up switch with your right hand.
The Lectro Truck will start to set the load upright. The Lectro Truck will continue to set the load upright
as long as you continue keeping upward pressure on the guard above the switches and pressing the
wheels down/load up switch. The amount of upward pressure needed on the guard is just enough to
keep the toe plate on the floor or ground.
Tripods, because of their hard swivel wheels, work best over smooth, hard surfaces. If you are going
over grass, gravel, sand, broken pavement, uneven concrete or any other soft surface, you should use
the All Terrain Wheel Attachment.
All-Terrain Wheel Attachment
The All Terrain Wheel Attachment, works much like the tripod, except it has large pneumatic wheels to
make it easier for the operator to go over terrain such as sand, gravel, grass, broken pavement, uneven
concrete, or any other rough surfaces. The All Terrain Wheel Attachment also allows you to lay the load
back horizontally to go through doorways with a tall load.
Mounting of the All Terrain Wheel Attachment
•
Locate the spools attached to the sides of the All Terrain Wheels.
•
Remove the spools from the All Terrain Wheel sides and attach them to the sides of the Lectro
Truck in the holes located approximately 18 inches up from the floor. (The holes to mount the All
Terrain Wheels to the LTA6512 are located on the Hook Bar.)
•
Hook the long arms of the All Terrain Wheels around the wheel axle.
•
Hold the latches open with your thumbs and slide the All Terrain Wheel sides onto the spools and
release the latches so that they lock around the spools.
When attaching the All Terrain Wheel Attachment, it helps to hold both latches open at
NOTE
the same time.
Lowering a load onto the All Terrain Wheels
•
Run your 8 inch wheels up about 6 inches and break your load back so it is at a slight balanced
angle.
•
Continue to run your wheels up slowly so that your All Terrain Wheels will move closer to the floor or
ground.
•
When your wheels are within a few inches from the floor or ground set the load back onto the All
Terrain Wheels.
Practice using the All Terrain Wheels with a 300 lb. to 500 lb. load, following the three
NOTE
steps above.
CAUTION: Be sure the hook bar on the LTA6512 is locked in place when using All
Terrain Wheels.
