PUSH BAR LINKAGE ADJUSTMENT
If the forks do not rise evenly at the tips, or the roller levers begin to drag on the floor the
following adjustment is necessary:
LCR55 (ONLY)
- Turn the hand pallet truck over so that the under side of the forks are accessible.
- Remove one split pin (PN-20269B) with 3/16” punch.
- Remove pin (PN-20227) from bracket.
- Adjust eyebolts (PN-20226). Turn counter-clockwise to raise fork tips and clockwise to lower fork tips
- Replace pin (PN-20227) through eyebolt and replace spilt pin (PN-20269B).
- When adjusted properly the forks should be 3” low height from ground level in the lowered position.
LCS/LCM/LCU MODELS
- Turn the hand pallet truck over so that the under side of the forks are accessible.
- Remove one split pin (PL-20269) with 3/16” punch.
- Remove pin (PL-20227) from bracket.
- Adjust eyebolts (PL-20226). Turn counter-clockwise to raise fork tips and clockwise to lower fork tips
- Replace pin (PL-20227) through eyebolt and replace spilt pin (PL-20269).
- When adjusted properly the forks should be 3" (LCS)/2" (LCM)/1 3/4" (LCU) low height from ground level in
the lowered position.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
Your hydraulic system is maintenance free. Do not add hydraulic oil unless there is, or has been a leak. Use Premium
HVI hydraulic oil or equal. Other oils, fluids or solvents can damage your hydraulic system. If you suspect additional
oil is required, follow these steps:
1. Lower the truck and load with 600 lbs (approximate).
2. Pump the truck to its maximum lift height.
3. Measure the vertical height of the exposed piston (215030) and refer to the chart below.
ADDING OIL (IF REQUIRED)
4. Place and secure the truck on its right side (release valve facing the floor).
5. Pull up on the release lever (PL-40274BDM) and extend the lift piston fully.
6. Remove screw (221586) and add the amount of oil determined by step 3.
7. Reinstall screw (221586) but do not tighten, leave a 1/32” gap.
8. Pull up on the release lever (PL-40274BDM) and collapse the lift piston until oil starts to ooze
from the screw.
9. Tighten the screw (221586) fully and return the truck upright.

CAUTION! - It is extremely important that step 8 is performed otherwise air in the
pump can force out the wiper seal (20066). Take care when adding oil not to introduce
impurities into the hydraulic system.
