• Adjust the height of the vertical frame so that the handle is located at a comfortable,
ergonomic height. Loosen the threaded knobs, adjust the handle height, and then
retighten the knobs.
• Pivot the retaining arm upwards. Rest the arm against the handle.
• Apply a load to the load plate. Make sure that the load rests against the vertical frame of
the truck.
• Pivot the retaining arm towards the load and rest the arm on top of the load. Adjust arm
length as necessary for the retainer bracket to extend beyond the front edge of the load.
To unlock the arm and allow it to extend or retract, pull the arm lock in the UNLOCK
direction.
• Retract the arm to bring the retainer bracket into solid contact with the front edge of the
load.
• Press against the cross brace with a foot and pull the handle towards you to tilt the truck
and lift the load off of the floor.

control the truck. Remain uphill to the truck (and load) whenever traveling up or down
sloped surfaces.
• To unload the truck, pull the arm lock in the UNLOCK direction and extend the retaining
arm. Pivot the retaining arm upwards to disengage the retaining bracket from the edge of
the load. Slide the load plate out from underneath the load.
