4. Setup

The Global Industrial Office Work Positioner Lift Truck typically arrives partially assembled. Follow these steps for initial setup:

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage. Report any damage immediately to the carrier and supplier.
2. Caster Installation (if required): If casters are not pre-installed, attach them to the base of the unit using the provided hardware. Ensure all bolts are tightened securely.
3. Handle Assembly (if required): Attach the control handle to the main frame. Ensure it is firmly secured and does not wobble.
4. Battery Charging: Before first use, fully charge the battery. Connect the charger to a standard electrical outlet and then to the lift truck's charging port. Refer to the charger's instructions for specific charging times. The indicator light on the charger will typically show when charging is complete.
5. Initial Inspection: After assembly and charging, perform a visual inspection. Check all connections, ensure casters roll freely, and verify brake functionality.

5. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for safe and effective operation of your lift truck:

1. Pre-Operation Check: Before each use, check the battery charge level, inspect for any visible damage, and ensure the platform is clear.
2. Loading the Platform: Place the item to be lifted centrally on the PVC platform. Ensure the load is stable and does not extend beyond the platform edges in a way that could cause imbalance.
3. Engage Brakes: If the lift truck needs to remain stationary during loading or unloading, engage the brakes on the swivel casters.
4. Lifting the Load: Use the push-button remote control to raise the platform. Press the 'UP' button to elevate the platform to the desired height. The lift height ranges from 5-1/8" to 67".
5. Moving the Lift Truck: Disengage the caster brakes. Use the control handle to push or pull the lift truck to its destination. Ensure a clear path and avoid sudden movements.
6. Positioning the Load: Once at the destination, engage the caster brakes. Use the remote control to lower the platform by pressing the 'DOWN' button until the load is at the desired height or safely on the receiving surface.
7. Unloading: Carefully remove the item from the platform.
8. Post-Operation: Lower the platform to its lowest position when not in use. Engage the caster brakes.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your lift truck.

• Cleaning: Wipe down the unit regularly with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the finish or electrical components. The blue powder-coated finish provides corrosion resistance.
• Battery Care: Fully charge the battery after each use, especially if it will be stored for an extended period. Do not allow the battery to fully discharge frequently, as this can reduce its lifespan. Store the lift truck in a cool, dry place.
• Caster Inspection: Periodically check the polyurethane swivel casters for wear and tear. Ensure they rotate freely and that the brakes engage effectively. Clean any debris from the wheels.
• Lubrication: Consult a qualified technician for periodic lubrication of moving parts within the mast mechanism.
• Fastener Check: Regularly inspect all bolts, nuts, and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Tighten any loose fasteners.
• Cable Inspection: Check the remote control cord and any other visible cables for signs of damage, fraying, or pinching.
