Operation

•
To lower the fork arms (3), actuate the operating lever II located on the hydraulic cylinder
counterclockwise, which achieves a smooth gradual lowering.
•
As soon as the fork arms (3) are lowered far enough, the device (PW-III) can be moved under the
pallet to be lifted.
•
To lift the load (pallet), move lifting lever I from position 1 to position 2 and vice versa to reach
the desired height (maximum height 200 mm).
Take into account that the action is performed only when Control lever II is in position 1.
•
The device (PW-III) can now be moved to the destination. To lower the load (pallet), operate the
operating lever II located on the hydraulic cylinder counterclockwise, which will achieve a smooth
gradual lowering.
Lowering the load creates an unavoidable pinch point for the feet. Therefore, always keep your
distance. Children are particularly at risk.
The device (PW-III) is equipped with no parking brake.
For this reason, it is absolutely necessary that the unit (PW-III) is additionally fixed with brake blocks
on slopes. To prevent the unit from rolling away. Danger of accident!"
•
Make sure that the unit (PW-III) is in the lowered state when it is not in operation. In this way, the
service life of the hydraulics can be increased.

4.2.1 Refilling hydraulic oil

Proceed as follows if oil needs to be topped up in the cylinder:
•
Lower the fork spars (3/Fig. 1) of the lifting carriage by turning the operating lever II
counterclockwise.
•
Loosen the M8 Allen screw located on the cylinder (see Fig. 2) and refill oil through this opening
until it overflows.
