2. Debris or other obstructions on the floor/surface;

3. Unsound surfaces or surfaces that cannot support the weight of yourself, the lifter and the load either

 Perform the following function test before each use:

1. Test the winch: raise and lower the forks;

2. Test the brakes: press down on the brake actuator to engage the brakes; then attempt to push the lift forward.

3. Test the castors: push the lifter to test the castors.

The end-user bears responsibility for verifying that the lifter complies with all regulations, codes, and standards

that apply in the location where it is used.

Inspect the lifter as recommended in the “Maintenance and Inspection” section of this manual (p. 10). Use the lifter

ONLY IF the lifter passes the inspection and is deemed safe to use by designated inspection personnel

Step 1 (for S and CB Models): Adjust the legs to provide the desired wheel base. Set the brake (-S models) or lock

the castors (-CB models). Remove the forks and lock the carriage using the pivoting carriage latch (photo a). Slowly

tilt the lifter backwards until the loading wheels contact the ground. Pull the leg adjustment peg (photo b) and slide

the leg in the desired direction. Reset the peg in the first or second adjustment setting (photo c) as the job requires.

Step 2: Always maneuver the A-lift from the “Operator’s Position” using the Normal Maneuvering Stance shown

below.

Step 3: Move the lifter to a position near the intended load and lock both of the locking castors.

greatest degree of

steering control.

b. W

alk behind the lifter and keep your

feet clear of the castors.

DO NOT place one

foot on the counterweights and propel

the lifter with the other foot. Doing so

will make the lifter more difficult to

comfortable

height.

Set the load on the forks.

The load must rest against

the back of the forks.

Lower the forks until

the load is a few

inches above the
