DELIVERY INSPECTION
Visually inspect ERGONOMIC 3000 frame components and hydraulic unit for damage during
shipment by carrier. If damage is evident, notify delivering carrier immediately and file necessary
claims. Test the manual pump of the ERGONOMIC 3000 for proper operation. If the hydraulic
pump does not respond to movement of the handle, an air lock may have developed
during shipping. To remedy this, go to the user friendly TROUBLESHOOTING guide in
this manual.

SAFETY (read and understand prior to using this product)
•
Do not operate this ERGONOMIC 3000 truck unless you are authorized and trained to do so.
•
Never overload your ERGONOMIC 3000 truck. Stay within its rated capacity.
•
Do not operate this truck if damaged or not in proper working order.
•
Distribute the load evenly on the forks. Do not concentrate loads at one point or load one fork more than the
other.
•
When the load impairs visibility, the ERGONOMIC 3000 truck should be pulled and not pushed.
•
Always look where you are operating. Keep a clear view.
•
Only handle loads on flat level surfaces. Do not use a loaded truck on inclines or declines.
•
Never carry passengers.
•
Do not place the center of your load beyond the load center of the ERGONOMIC 3000.
•
Never put your feet, hands, or any other body part under the scissors or frame assembly.
•
Always yield the right of way to pedestrians.
•
Do not allow the ERGONOMIC 3000 to drop from one level to another. Even a drop of 1 in. (25 mm) more
than doubles the effective load momentarily and results in a loading that can bend or break components.
•
Move loads only with the ERGONOMIC 3000 in its lowest position.
•
Always make sure that the load is stable before moving to eliminate the opportunity for load shift.
•
Use extreme care when rounding corners. Too fast a speed could cause an ERGONOMIC 3000 truck to tip. If
loaded, the load could shift and fall.
•
When not in use, fully lower the forks.
•
Electric ERGONOMIC 3000 must be charged in a well ventilated area. Always use the charger provided.
Never use jumper cables as these can cause sparks that could ignite the explosive gases normally released
by the battery during charging.
•
Stabilizer engages to limit movement in raised position and should not be tampered with.
Electric ERGONOMIC 3000
Connect the lift plug into the battery connection on the side of the battery box and test the electric power pack
by operating the raise button located near the top of the handle. If the pump fails to respond, see
TROUBLESHOOTING on page 5.
ERGONOMIC 3000 with Remote Control
The hand or foot operated remote control must be plugged into the receptacle on the top of the battery box for
it to operate. Operate both the raise and lower push buttons or foot pedals to ensure the remote control
functions correctly.
Note: If you purchased an electric ERGONOMIC 3000 without the remote control option, it can be purchased
separately from your Lift-Rite dealer.)

OPERATION
Your ERGONOMIC 3000 has been designed to ergonomically lift and position loads, but not pallets. Pallets
have bottom boards nailed to the stringers. These can damage your ERGONOMIC 3000 because they restrict
the lifting action of the scissor legs.
The pump piston and lifting ram have a polished hard chrome finish to provide maximum seal life and
minimum leakage. Do not allow these surfaces to be nicked or pitted by abuse. A slight oil wetting of the
external parts of the pistons is normal in order to provide lubrication for the highly polished surfaces and the
seals through which they pass. Do not be alarmed at a trace of oil even on new units.
Load Center and Load Placement (Reference Layout): All loads must be placed on the back of the fork
nearest the operator to avoid tipping of loads (see diagram). In any case, do not exceed load. Load Center is
indicated on the following chart.
Neutral Position: A gentle pull on the handle engages the neutral position and the handle can be moved
without lifting of the forks. This enables you to move the ERGONOMIC 3000 from one place to another without
activating the pump.
Manual Lifting: To raise the ERGONOMIC 3000 manually, pump the handle. Your ERGONOMIC 3000 has an
automatic neutral sensor that activates the pump cylinder when pumping action is detected.
Lowering: To lower the ERGONOMIC 3000, pull on the fingertip control lever. By varying the position of the
lever, you can control the lowering speed.
Electric Lifting: Raise the ERGONOMIC 3000 by pressing and holding the raise button located on the handle.
To lower the ERGONOMIC 3000, pull on the fingertip control lever. By varying the position of the lever, you can
control the lowering speed. If your battery becomes discharged before you finish your work, you can operate
an electric ERGONOMIC 3000 manually as described above.
Remote Control: The remote control hand or foot operator must be plugged into the receptacle on the top of
the battery box. The raise and lower buttons or pedals will now operate the ERGONOMIC 3000 as indicated.

OPERATION (CONT.)
Charging the 12 Volt Battery: Move your ERGONOMIC 3000 to a well ventilated area. Raise the
ERGONOMIC 3000 manually and unwind the AC plug from the tie-down inside the bulkhead. Lower the
ERGONOMIC 3000 completely and disconnect the lift plug from the battery connector (located on the side of
the battery box). Insert the charge plug into the battery connector. The lights on the battery charger will indicate
the current battery condition. Plug the AC plug into a 110 volt, 60 Hz receptacle. When your battery is fully
charged, unplug the AC plug from its receptacle, then disconnect the charger plug from the battery plug and
reinsert the lift plug. Carefully raise the ERGONOMIC 3000 and secure the AC cord and the charger plug to the
respective tie-downs inside the bulkhead.
Store the charger power cord in the bracket at all times.
Electric hazard can occur if the plug comes in contact with the battery.
DAILY CHECKLIST
MAINTENANCE
Lubrication: All pivot points in the ERGONOMIC 3000 are equipped with permanently lubricated bushings
and bearings. To increase bearing life, it is recommended that a few drops of light machine oil be applied at
each pivot point every 6 months. The main bearing in the thrust plate is equipped with a grease zerk. This
should be greased every 6 months.
Hydraulic System: Your hydraulic system is maintenance free. Do not add hydraulic oil unless there is, or has
been, a leak. Use Sunoco Sunvis 832 oil or equal. Other oils, fluids, or solvents may damage your hydraulic
system. With the ERGONOMIC 3000 in its lowered position, fill the reservoir through the oil plug hole until the
oil is even with the plug hole.
Battery (12 Volt): Keep the battery water level 1/2 in. (13 mm) above the plates at all times. If it becomes
necessary to add water, use only distilled water. If you suspect that your battery is not charging fully, you can
check your battery acid using a hydrometer. A fully charged battery reads between 1270 and 1275.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Manual Pump Fails to Raise ERGONOMIC 3000
Please make sure to pump the handle at a speed quick enough to overcome the manual pump neutral
position.There may be an air lock in the hydraulic system. Pull the control lever and operate the pump several
times. Operate the pump normally to raise ERGONOMIC 3000. Check to see if the release lever on the pump
base moves freely. Loosen the high pressure adjusting screw (item #21 on page 12). Operate the pump several
times, then tighten the high pressure screw. A small amount may leak from the screw while it is loose.
ERGONOMIC 3000 Fails to Raise Completely
Check scissor legs and floor for obstructions. Check for proper hydraulic fluid level and look for signs of an oil
leak.
Electric ERGONOMIC 3000 Does Not Respond to Raise Button
Check the battery connection to make sure that it is plugged in. If the ERGONOMIC 3000 has been idle for a
long period of time, the battery may have become discharged. Connect the charger as described under
OPERATION on page 4, and make sure that the battery is fully charged. Check all electrical connections.
Optional Remote Control Will Not Lower
Check to make sure that the remote control is plugged in. Check for damage to the hydraulic power pack. The
solenoid may be damaged and may need to be replaced.
Neutral Position
If the pump has no neutral position, turn the neutral valve (item #23 on page 12 or 14) clockwise until the
desired neutral action is achieved. If the pump does not engage quick enough, turn the neutral valve (item #23
on page 12 or 14) counterclockwise until the pump action is satisfactory.
FOR THESE AND ALL OTHER TROUBLESHOOTING QUESTIONS, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR LOCAL
