Intended Use The Strongway 5500-Lb. Capacity Low-Profile Pallet Jack is designed for transportation of loads with a level, attached base and may be used only on a firm and even surface, such as concrete or asphalt. The load must be on evenly distributed pallets, with the ideal loading mode such that the center of gravity of the load is at the central position of the fork. This low profile pallet jack is excellent for use with low profile pallets.
WORK AREA SAFETY Inspect the work area before each use. Keep work area clean, dry, free of clutter, and well-lit. Cluttered, wet, or dark work areas can result in injury. Using the product in confined work areas may put you dangerously close to cutting tools and rotating parts. Do not allow the product to come into contact with an electrical source. The tool is not insulated and contact will cause electrical shock. Keep children and bystanders away from the work area while operating the tool.
Specific Operation Warnings ⚠WARNING Do not exceed the rated load capacity. Be sure the load is secure and stable before moving. Do not operate a loaded pallet jack on ramps or inclines. Keep the load centered on the pallet jack. Wear steel toed boots while operating the pallet jack. Check for damaged parts before operating. Do not operate a damaged or faulty pallet jack. Do not attempt repairs unless you are trained or authorized to do so.
