RECOMMENDED FLOOR AREA DANGER ZONE Figure 4 Recommended Floor Area The EZ Off Lifter's recommended floor area, shown in Figure 4, identifies the “Danger Zone”, the "Operating Zone” and the “Pallet Truck Runway Zone ”. The Danger Zone is the area inside the perimeter of the frame including the ramp. To prevent PERSONAL INJURY or DEATH, workers must stay clear of the Danger Zone and observe all Dangers or Warnings.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION eo Figure 5 ~ Functional Drawing The EZ Off Lifter is a hydraulic load positioned designed to improve alphabetizing productivity and worker safety. The EZ Off Lifter is the modern way to manually load pallets in applications where the lauded pallets are transported with a pallet truck, The EZ Off Lifter provides full hydraulic control of the platform allowing the toad to be positioned at a convenient height.
INSTALLATION The EZ Off Litter ™ is shipped on a pallet and only requires minor assembly before it is ready for use.

Before you begin, locate and identify the components detailed in Figure 6. These components will be referred to throughout the “Installation” and "Operating” procedures. Make sure you understand the function of each component before proceeding.
Installation Instructions 1. Using a fork lift ar similar equipment, move the palatalized lifter to the location installed. The installation area should be clean and have good general lighting 2. Next, using the strap cutter, remove the bands securing the lifter to the pallet. Remove all packing material and place it off to the side. 3. Locate the two (2) adjustable leveling feet at the rear of the frame. If required, adjust each leveler downward untie the leveling foot contacts the pallet surface.
The lifters electrical circuits use voltages which can cause SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY or DEATH. DO NOT work with the electrical components unless you are a QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN. J rear leveling feet. DO NOT remove the forklift at this time. Check the levelness and stability of the lifter. If required, slightly fight the rear of the unit and independently adjust each leveler. Repeat this process until the lifter is level and stable.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Raising the Platform 1. 2 Before raising the platform, BE SURE that all others are well clear of the lifter. If the platform is loaded, RECHECK the position and condition of the load As shown in Figures 12 and 13, depress the raise button or pedal to raise the platform to a convenient height CONTINUOUSLY WATCH the condition of the load as the platform is raised. If the load appears to be shifting, STOP, lower the platform and adjust the load.
DO NOT use the lifter with an unstable, unbalanced or loosely stacked load. Unbalanced loads may become unstable and fall. SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY and PROPERTY DAMAGE could result. PINCH POINT HAZARD. ALWAYS keep feet, hands and fingers away from the underside of the platform and all moving components. PINCH POINT HAZARDS are created as the platform rotates and moves up or down. SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY could result. J ~~ = NEVER place hands or feet under the platform.
Unloading Operations 1. Check the load or component weight and the pallet size to ensure the palatalized load does not exceed the lifter's load specifications. The EZ Off Lifter is rated for 2500 iba {1128 kg.) with a maim um pate! size of 44 in. x48 in. {1118 mm x 1218 mm). 2. Before proceeding, CHECK the Pallet Truck Runway Zone for obstacles or obstructions. The floor surface must be clean and free of water, oil or grease. Ensure all others are well clear of the Pallet Truck Runway Zone 3.
2. Position the ramp in the stored position. As shown in Figure 10, remove the spring detente pins that are securing the ramp in the operating position. Carefully grab the end of the ramp and rotate the ramp to the stored position. The ramp is heavy. Use CAUTION not to pinch fingers or toes under the ramp. Reinstall the detente pins to secure the ramp in the stored position. 3. Engage the platform lock on each side of the platform. As detailed in Figure 7, rotate each lock to the vertical position.

Changing the Hydraulic Oil (Every 12 Months) Change the hydraulic oil every 12 months of service or more often if conditions warrant.
Trouble Shooting ae] Solution Platform will not raise. {Pump will not run) Power disconnected Open wire in electric circuit Verify that power source is applied. Check for faulty wiring. Platform will not raise. {Pump will run) No hydraulic fluid in reservoir. Load too heavy (relief valve operating). Lowering solenoid valve stuck open. Platform locks engaged. Fill reservoir. Reduce load. Clean or replace valve. Check for faulty wiring. Disengage platform locks. Platform will not remain elevated.
