Intended Use The Bannon 8000 Lb. Capacity Heavy-Duty Pallet Jack is designed for transportation of loads with a level, attached base and may be used only on a firm and even surface, such as concrete or asphalt. The load must be on evenly distributed pallets, with the ideal loading mode such that the center of gravity of the load is at the central position of the fork.
WORK AREA SAFETY Inspect the work area before each use. Keep work area clean, dry, free of clutter, and well-lit. Cluttered, wet, or dark work areas can result in injury. Using the product in confined work areas may put you dangerously close to cutting tools and rotating parts. Do not use the product where there is a risk of causing a fire or an explosion; e.g., in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. The product can create sparks, which may ignite the flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
Specific Operation Warning ⚠WARNING Do not exceed the rated load capacity. Be sure the load is secure and stable before moving. Do not operate a loaded pallet jack on ramps or inclines. Keep the load centered on the pallet jack. Wear steel toed boots while operating the pallet jack. Check for damaged parts before operating. Do not operate damaged or faulty pallet jacks. Do not attempt repairs unless you are trained or authorized to do so.
1. Insert the base of the handle into the pump bracket (Figure 1). Align the holes at the base of the handle with the holes in the pump bracket. 2. Use a hammer to tap the handle pin into the holes of the pump bracket and handle (Figure 2). Use pliers to turn the handle pin until its holes align with the spring pin holes.
3. Feed the screw head through the center hole in the handle pin (Figure 3). Using a screwdriver, pry up the cam and slip the screw head under the notch in the cam. 4. Use a hammer to tap the spring pins (Figure 2) into the holes on the pump bracket and handle pin. 5. Tap out the pump retainer pin (Figure 1). Note: It’s a good idea to remove any air bubbles that might have accumulated in the hydraulic system during shipping. Refer to ''Bleeding the Air'' in the upcoming Maintenance table.
Adjusting the Control Handle: 3 Positions On the Handle (1) of this pallet jack, you can find the Control Lever (8), which can be placed in three positions (Figure 4): LOWER - to lower load, pull up on the control handle. NEUTRAL - place the control handle in this position while pulling the pallet jack or load. LIFT - to raise load, push down on the control handle and pump handle to raise the load.
5. Push the Control Lever (8) down to the "Lift" position. If the fork frame elevates when you pump the pallet jack, go back and check steps 1 to 3 until the pallet jack works well in all three control positions. If the fork frame does not elevate, turn the Socket Head Cap Screw (20) COUNTER-CLOCKWISE again until the fork frame elevates. Repeat steps 1 thru 3 until the pallet jack works in all three control positions.
Maintenance Interval Maintenance Point LUBRICATION. Wheel bearings are sealed and require no lubrication. The crankshaft features "oil lite" bushings that also require no lubrication. Lightly oil all other moving parts. BLEEDING THE AIR. There may be times when the forks do not rise while pumping when in the "Lift" position. Most likely this is because air has been introduced in to the hydraulic system.
Maintenance Interval Maintenance Point UP-DOWN CAM ADJUSTMENT When pumping the handle with the lever in the "Neutral" position, there should be no movement of the fork. If there is fork movement, the cam must be adjusted: Place the lever in the "Neutral" position. Loosen the Hex Nut (19). Adjust the Socket Head Cap Screw (20) while pumping the handle until there is no longer any movement of the ram. Tighten the Hex Nut (19).
Failure Lever does not set at "Neutral" position Possible Cause Corrective Action Refer to "Up-Down Cam Adjustment".
