ASSEMBLY
4.1. A minimum of two people will be required to lift the truck out of its packaging. Alternatively, cut and fold down flat one end of the box and wheel the truck out.
4.2. FITTING THE HANDLE.
4.2.1. At the back of the truck there are two upstanding sockets to receive the bent loop handle, fig.1D.
Partially unscrew the two locking bolts that pass into the sockets so that they no longer protrude into the sockets. Drop the ends of the bent chrome handle into the sockets and tighten the bolts until the handle is held firmly.
4.2.2. Model HPT400H has a different handle fixing arrangement. The ends of the chrome handle have flanges that sit down onto flat platforms on either side of the truck, see fig.5X. The handle is retained by two large socket cap bolts inserted from underneath. You will require a 10mm Allen Key to tighten the bolts. Place a split washer followed by a plain washer over each bolt before inserting and tightening.
4.3. FITTING THE FOOT PEDAL.
4.3.1. Slide the end of the foot pedal into the socket situated centrally between the two handle uprights, see fig.1E. On some models the foot pedal retaining bolt, see fig.1F, screws directly into the material of the foot pedal stem. In this case place, a split washer over the bolt followed by a plain washer, before inserting the bolt. On other models, the bolt passes directly through the stem and the socket and is retained with a plain washer followed by a split washer followed by a nut. Ensure the fixing arrangement is tight enough to hold the pedal firmly in place (do not over-tighten).
4.4. CONNECT THE CONTROL CABLE.
4.4.1. Remove the cable guide bush, fig.2B, from the free end of the cable and feed the end of the cable and cable sheath through the cable guide tubes welded to the handle and the underside of the frame. See fig.1G and fig.2A. The exact position and number of the guides may vary from model to model. Once the cable has been fed through the guides slide the bush back over the cable and onto the sheath.
4.4.2. Feed the cable through the hole in the bush retaining bracket and then through the hole in the clamping bolt on the actuating lever, see fig.2C. Now screw the guide bush into the bracket with a 12mm spanner, see fig.2B. Pull the end of the cable to so that there is no play in the movement of the lever mounted on the handle. Hold the clamping bolt, fig.2C steady with a 12mm ring spanner and tighten the nut on the other side of the lever with a 13mm ring spanner.
OPERATION
5.1. BEFORE FIRST USE.
5.1.1. Before using the truck for the first time purge any air from the hydraulic circuit by pumping the foot pedal 10 to 15 times whilst holding the release lever, fig.3A, in.
5.1.2. To test the truck, release the lever which will close the hydraulic valve. Pump the foot pedal, fig.1E and raise the truck platform to its highest position and then pull the valve lever, fig.3.A to lower the platform, (the platform may be slow to descend immediately from its highest point). If the platform fails to descend adjust the cable length to remove excess play in the release lever movement.
