 Batteries contain acid! When handling batteries, ALWAYS wear approved safety goggles,
rubber gloves, and protective clothing that are able to protect you from the acid. Acid can
cause burns and injury.
 Risk of fire can occur when working with batteries. Avoid any open flame, smoking, or any
flammable situations when handling batteries!
Before each use, check to make sure the stacker is in proper working condition. Check the
moving parts, hydraulic hoses, wheels, etc. Do not use the stacker if it is not operating properly.
Have a qualified mechanic make any necessary repairs before using.
Check the battery power as indicated in Fig. 1. Pull the general power supply switch out to turn on
the general power supply, unlock the electric lock on the handle. Check the electric energy meter
on the instrument panel of the stacker. If the zero end is lit, this indicates there is no power in the
batteries and the batteries need to be charged. Do not operate the stacker without well-charged
batteries, as this can greatly reduce the service life of the batteries and damage the batteries.
Check that the stacker’s lifting and lowering operation is working properly.
Stacking and Handling Loads
Turn on the stacker by unlocking the electric door lock. Move the stacker near the load to be
transported. Press the lowering button and adjust the height of the forks to a proper position for
the pallet of the load. Insert the forks slowly and as deep as possible into the pallet. Press the
lifting button until the forks are 8-12 inches from the ground (8 to 12 inch maximum height is
recommended when transporting goods). Move the stacker to the desired location of the load and
stop slowly. Keep the front of the forks at a minimum of 4 inches from any shelf or racking. Press
the lifting button to raise the forks to a proper height with the shelf or racking. (Keep the bottom of
the pallet to a minimum of 4 inches higher than the shelf or rack.) Move the goods slowly to the
correct position of the shelf or rack, and press the lowering button. Slowly place the goods
carefully on the shelf or rack. Slowly back the forks away from the goods and move the stacker
slowly to remove the forks out of the pallet. Once the forks are at a minimum of 12 inches from
the shelf or rack, lower the forks to a height 12 inches from the ground and drive the stacker away
from the shelf or rack.
