Sealey PT2200 - Manual (Page 2)

5. OPERATION
6. MAINTENANCE
5.1. Before using the truck read and understand the safety instructions in
Section 1. The truck should only be operated by those persons who have been
trained in its use.
5.2. The operator must be physically capable of pushing or pulling the load and must
also be capable of stopping a rolling load.
5.3. Before lifting any load the operator should check that the pallet is the correct
width and length for the truck and that the pallet itself is not damaged.
5.4. The operator should ensure that the load on the pallet is safe to move. If the load appears to be loosely stacked, unevenly
distributed, too high or too wide it should be repacked safely before moving. Also check that the weight of the load is within the capacity
of the truck.
Best Practice:
5.5. Lowering the truck. (See fig.3 - L) Before inserting the truck into the pallet ensure that the truck forks are in their lowest position by
pulling the operating lever into the upper (lowering) position and holding it until the truck has settled to the lowest level.
5.6. Drive position. (See fig.3 - D) The lever can now be released and will return to the middle (drive) position.
5.7. Push the truck into the pallet ensuring that the forks are fully inserted. If the pallet is shorter than the forks the load should be placed at
the centre point of the length of the forks.
5.8. Raising a load. (See fig.3 -R) Push the operating lever to its lowest (raise) position where it will latch. Pump the handle to lift the load.
5.9. Return the operating lever to its neutral (drive) position before moving the truck.
5.10. Due care should be taken when manoeuvring a load to ensure that no collision takes place with any objects or people.
5.11. The faster the truck is moved the more difficult it will be to stop: proceed at a slow and even pace.
5.12. Bring the truck to a stop where required and lower the load to the floor by pulling the operating lever to its highest position
and holding it there until the load has settled to the floor.
5.13. It is not recommended that the load is lowered whilst the truck is still moving as a sudden stop may dislodge the load causing
possible damage to property and/or people.
6.1. The oil level should be checked every 6 months.
6.1.1. Check the oil with the forks lowered fully.,
6.1.2. To check the oil level, remove the reservoir cover by removing the screw on either side (Fig.4).
6.1.3. Remove the cap from the reservoir (fig.5) and top up if necessary.
6.1.4. Replace the cap and the cover.
6.2. To purge air from the system hold the operating lever in the lowering position until the truck has descended to its lowest level then pump
the handle 8 to 10 times.
6.3. Apply a long life grease to all bearings and shafts once a month.
