6.0Setup and assembly
Number in parentheses refers to corresponding number in parts breakdown.
1.Remove all packing material from stacker.
2.To assemble forks, remove one of the snap rings (#5). Tap fork shaft out (#6). Forks to be assembled must come from the same crate as the mast.
3.Align holes in forks (#1) with holes in carriage (#4) and tap fork shaft through carriage and fork holes.
4.Reinstall snap ring (#5) to hold fork shaft in place.
5.Be sure assembled forks are even and parallel. Use adjusting screws (#3) if correction is needed.
6.To assemble outrigger legs, make sure legs to be assembled come from the same crate as the mast.
7.Insert outrigger legs (#24A and #24B) into tube openings in bottom of mast (#18). Align holes in legs with holes in mast to enable legs to be equal distance from mast. Legs should slide into tube openings easily without force.
NOTE: Make sure the proper leg is inserted on the correct side. (The beveled edge near the wheel will face upward.) If the mast does not stand vertical after assembling the legs, flip the legs over and switch sides.
8.Fasten legs with four screws, four lock washers four flat washers, and four hex nuts
9.IMPORTANT: The hydraulic cylinder comes with a shipping plug installed (#106). Before operating the stacker, remove this shipping plug and install breather plug (included in packaging provided with stacker) in its place.
Do not exceed rated load and load center capacities. Excessive load can cause tipping or loss of control. Use on finished, smooth and level floors only; do not use on slopes.
7.0Operation
1.Insert both forks evenly and completely under load. Load must be distributed equally on both forks and centered toward the mast. Do not allow more than half the load to extend beyond load center. Do not lift load with fork tips only and do not lift unstable or loose load.
2.Press the foot pedal or push the pump handle downwards (handle lever must be in lower position) to raise the forks by one stroke. Continue to pump the pedal, or handle, until desired height is reached. Do not exceed maximum lifting height.
3.To lower forks, pull the pump release lever on handle slowly to allow the load to lower in a cautious and controlled manner.
4.To move stacker with load, lower forks carefully. Use both hands with a firm grip to push and steer the stacker on level, smooth finished floors only. Keep all people clear from stacker while lifting, lowering and moving load.
When not in use, do not allow heavy loads to remain on the forks for an extended period of time. Always lower forks when not in use.
8.0Maintenance
For optimum performance, the drive chain (#37) should be lubricated with chain oil regularly.
Always store the hydraulic stacker without load, and forks in lowest position.
Periodically check oil level in cylinder. Replenish as needed with hydraulic jack oil through the oil plug (#106)
Keep pivot points and
