DELIVERY INSPECTION
Visually inspect hand pallet truck frame components and hydraulic unit for damage during
shipment by carrier. If damage is evident, notify delivering carrier immediately and file necessary
claims. Test the hand pallet truck pump for operation. If the hydraulic pump does not respond
to movement of the handle, an air lock may have developed during shipping. To remedy this,
pull and hold the release lever then operate the pump several times. If the pump still fails to
respond, see the trouble shooting guide on page 5.

SAFETY SHOES
Always wear safety shoes when working with hand pallet trucks.
PROTECTIVE GLASSES
When assembling or dismantling a hand pallet truck, protective
glasses must be worn to avoid personal injury.
OPERATOR’S RESPONSIBILITY
While operating a hand pallet truck always wear safety equipment
and operate in a responsible manner to ensure a safe work area.

2 HAND PALLET TRUCK MANUAL • NOVEMBER 2002

 SAFETY PROCEDURES

Never overload your hand pallet truck. Stay within rated capacity.

Distribute the load evenly on the forks. Do not concentrate loads at one point or load
one fork more than the other.

Never put your feet, hands or any other body part under the frame assembly.

Do not allow your hand pallet truck to drop from one level to another.
Even a drop of 1” (25mm) more than doubles the effective load momentarily and results
in a “Shock” which can bend or break components.

Always ensure load is stable before moving to eliminate opportunity for load shift.

When not in use, forks should be fully lowered to avoid injury.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

To raise load, push down

on finger tip control.
Pump handle to raise load
from floor.

To lower load, pull up on

finger tip control.

For free handle movement,

place finger tip control in
neutral position.

NOTE:
The neutral position disengages the pump from the lifting mechanism. This frees the handle,
which makes pulling loads much easier. Also the pump is not being subjected to shock pressures
while the truck is in motion.

 MAINTENANCE
Lubrication
All pivot points are equipped with permanently lubricated bushings and bearings.
To increase bearing life, it is recommended that a few drops of light machine oil
be applied at each pivot point every 6 months.
The thrust plate is equipped with a grease zerk. This should be greased every
6 months.

Hydraulic system
Your hydraulic system is maintenance free. Do not add hydraulic oil unless there is,
or has been a leak. Use Premium HVI hydraulic oil or equal.
Other oils, fluids or solvents can damage your hydraulic system.
If additional oil is required, position forks in lowered position.
Remove oil level plug (PL-10267). Refill with hydraulic oil to plug hole level.
Replace oil level plug.

Push bar linkage adjustment

If the forks do not raise evenly at the tips, or the roller levers begin to drag on the floor
the following adjustment is necessary:

- Turn the hand pallet truck over so that the under side of the forks
are accessible.
- Remove one split pin (PL-20269) with 3/16” punch.
- Remove pin (PL-20227) from bracket.
- Adjust eye bolts (PL-20226). Turn counter-clockwise to raise fork tips
and clockwise to lower fork tips
- Replace pin (PL-20227) through eye bolt and replace spilt pin
(PL-20269).
- When adjusted properly the forks should be 3” low height from
ground level in the lowered position (LR2055 Model).

 HAND PALLET TRUCK WARRANTY
Lift-Rite Inc. will guarantee this product against material or
manufacturing defects provided the truck has not been abused and is
used under normal conditions*. Lift-Rite Inc. will provide replacement
components for those deemed defective by Lift-Rite Inc. under
the terms listed below for the following models:

Models LR2055, L50M, L50M-4WAY, L50MU, L50MU-4way

The complete hydraulic pump and handle assembly is covered for
(2) years. The chassis and associated components are covered
for (12) months. Wearable components such as wheels, rollers,
and bushings are covered for (6) months.

Models L60, L80, L100, Freezer Special models

All parts and components are covered for a (6) month period.
All warranty periods begin as of date of purchase.
This warranty does not include labor or miscellaneous costs involved in
the replacement of any components determined to be defective.
In order to claim for warranty, you must supply the truck serial number,
as well as date of purchase. *Any truck used under adverse conditions,
such as fish, meat or poultry processing plants, tanneries,
freezer applications, or any other application where the unit is operating
in water or subjected to fluid or chemicals, is NOT covered
under any warranty. A freezer special truck prevents the frame
and components from rusting out prematurely.
The hydraulic pump, all bearings, as well as bushings are still subject
to condensation and therefore premature failure.
Bent, twisted or misaligned forks are clear signs of abuse and are
not covered under warranty.
