To adjust the control handle's three positions on the Roughneck 5500-LB Pallet Truck, follow these steps:
1. Locate the Control Lever on the Handle Tube of the pallet truck.
2. The Control Lever can be regulated in three positions: LOWER, NEUTRAL, and LIFT.
3. LOWER position: Pull the Control Lever up to lower the forks/load to the desired height. The Control Lever will move back to the NEUTRAL position when released.
4. NEUTRAL position: When the Control Lever is in the middle position, the forks will not move when the Handle Tube is pumped. The Control Lever must be in the neutral position when the truck is driven.
5. LIFT position: Push the Control Lever down and pump the Handle Tube to raise the forks/load to the desired height.
Note: These three positions have been set at the factory to work appropriately as soon as the handle tube is attached. If the forks do not raise or lower as expected, you can adjust the control handle by following these steps:
1. Pull the Control Lever upward to the "LOWER" position. If the fork frame does not lower, turn the Nut (12) CLOCKWISE until the fork frame lowers.
2. Push the Control Lever down to the "LIFT" position. If the fork frame does not elevate, turn the Nut (12) COUNTERCLOCKWISE until the fork frame elevates.
3. Keep the control handle in the "NEUTRAL" position. If the fork frame lowers, turn the Nut (12) COUNTERCLOCKWISE until the fork frame does not lower.
4. Check again to see if the truck works well in the 3 control positions. If not, repeat the steps above until the pallet truck works well.
Please refer to the "INSTALLATION" section of the owner's manual for more detailed instructions and diagrams.
