Service Manual Rol-Lift Series: T and E This manual is intended for basic service and maintenance of the Rol-Lift pallet jack. The pallet jacks you are servicing are tools that make moving products easier. Operating pallet jacks with rusty, broken or worn parts makes usage and maintenance more difficult.
Suggested Assemblies to Save Repair Time • RL T5BOK-F-Super Super Seal Kit for Foot Control • RL T5BOK-H-Super Super Seal Kit for Hand Control • RL-32 Ultra-Poly Steer Wheel Assembly • RL-31-A-D-Super Super Ultra-Poly Load Roller Kit • RL-31-D Ultra-Poly Load Roller •...
Axles Inspection If the axle is bent, out-of-round or shows signs of wear, replace it. Check for worn snap ring grooves and roll pin holes. If these are damaged or worn, replace the axle. The standard height jacks have a knurl on one end of the axle to prevent it from spinning. Insert the end of the axle without the knurl first for easier installation.
Load Rollers and Load Roller Brackets Inspection Load rollers - Load rollers should not have flat spots or large pieces of metal imbedded in them (i.e. tacks, nails or metal shavings). Any chips in the wheel that keep it from rolling smoothly indicate the need for replacement.

Load Rollers and Load Roller Brackets Removal Tip: We recommend servicing one load roller assembly at a time, using the other assembly as a reference. Load rollers Standard height - Turn the jack over onto its side. Remove one of the snap rings and punch the axle out of the wheel and bracket.
Steer Wheels and Axle Inspection Steer wheels should not have flat spots or large pieces of metal imbedded in them (i.e. tacks, nails or metal shavings). Chips in the wheel, which keep it from rolling smoothly, indicate the need for replacement. Steer wheels should turn freely.
Traverse Inspection There are few things that can be wrong with the traverse. Wear can occur on the bearing shoulder or where the shoulder pins attach to the lifting link. If these areas are egg-shaped or out-of-round, replace the traverse. Removal Pump up the jack to gain access to the snap ring that secures the thrust bearing assembly, on top of the ram, to the A-Frame.
Push Rods Inspection When inspecting the push rods, look for broken or cracked welds, bends, missing roll pins and worn bushings. It is best to mark the position of the eyebolt and nut in relation to the push rod to ensure proper adjustment during installation. Removal - T Series bolt.

Push Rods Installation - T Series snap rings. Turn the jack over and test the adjustment. Keep adjusting until both forks hit bottom at the same time. Standard height - Insert the eccentric through the lifting link (25 minutes) and push rod. Secure it with its snap ring. Insert the push rod Installation - E Series axle through the bracket and push rod.
Lifting Link Inspection Check lifting link for out-of-round holes, cracks in welds, or bent ears. If any of these conditions exist, replace the lifting link. We suggest that you work on one side of the jack at a time, so you can use the other side as a reference.

Lifting Link Installation Turn the jack over so that the undercarriage of the jack facing up, position the lifting link in the frame. Insert the lifting link shaft and secure it with its snap ring. Attach the push rod (see Push Rods) and the load roller bracket (see Load Roller Brackets).
Handle Removal and Installation Inspection Inspect the handle for cracks and structural integrity. There should be minimal side play in the handle socket. Check for worn bushings. If bushings are not replaced regularly, the handle socket holes can become worn. This may require complete handle socket replacement to prevent unnecessary wear on mating parts.
Hydraulic Unit Inspection Inspect the outside of the pump for oil leaks. Test the unit, under a load, to determine if there is a problem. This can be done by lifting a heavy pallet and letting it stand for 15-20 minutes. Below are symptoms and solutions to common hydraulic unit failures.
Fast Lift Parts for technical assistance. • The ram is chromed and the pump piston polished to a fine finish for maximum seal life and minimum oil leakage.
Hydraulic Unit Removal Pump the jack to its maximum height and turn the jack onto its side. Remove the steer wheels and axle ( see Steer Wheels and Axle Removal ) and the snap ring under the traverse on the stem of the hydraulic unit.
