1. Guidelines for Safe Operation

1.1 Requirements for the driver: The stacker should only be operated by personnel trained in
operating the stacker, who can show to the user how to move and handle loads and instruct
the user how to operate the stacker.
1.2 The right, duty and responsibility of driver: Clear with his own right and duty, the driver
should be trained in operating the stacker and also knows the contents in this operation
manual very well. If the stacker in use is controlled on foot, the driver should wear safety boots
during operation.
1.3 Unauthorized persons are prohibited to use: The driver is responsible for managing the
stacker in use, and must prevent any unauthorized person from driving or operating the
stacker.
1.4 Malfunction and Defects: In case malfunction or defects occurs with the stacker, the driver
should immediately inform the supervisor. If the stacker can not be operated safely, e.g. with
worn wheels and brake malfunction, always stop using it until repaired completely.
1.5. Safety operation and environment protection
The checking and maintenance work described in this chapter should be executed
according to the time intervals in the maintenance list.
Never modify any parts, especially safety devices of the stacker without permission. Never
change the operation speeds of the stacker.
All original spare parts from the factory are verified by Quality Assurance Department. Only
use spare parts from the manufacturer for the guarantee of the safety and reliability of stacker
operation. The replaced material such as oil or fuel should be disposed of according to
environment protection regulations.
1.6 Dangerous area: Dangerous area generally refers to these locations, in which pallet stacker
or its lifting mechanism (e.g. fork or accessories) is moving, lifting or lowering, thus being
dangerous to persons in this area, or in which the stacker is handling loads. Generally the
scope of this area extends to locations to which the loads or accessories on the stacker is
lowered.

Unauthorized persons must be ordered to leave dangerous areas. The driver should
always give warning if there is any risk of human injury. If the warned persons still stay in
dangerous area, the driver should stop the pallet stacker immediately.

Use of this stacker may cause crushing and shearing injuries to personnel.

Page 2

1.7 High-risk environment: The stacker must be operated, used and maintained according to the
Instruction Manual. Any operation used for any other purpose not specified herein may result in
personal injury and/or damage to the power stacker or other properties. At first, avoid overloading
or unbalanced load. It is most important to ensure that the goods not exceed the maximum load.
Maximum load is specified in the nameplate. The stacker may not be functioning properly in a
corrosive or quite dirty environment. Any operation in an inflammable environment may trigger an
explosion.
The stacker is not designed for use in high-risk environment.
1.8 Safety devices and warning signsSufficient attention should be paid to safety devices,
warning signs and precautions described in above sections in this manual.
1.9 Driving in public places: The stacker is prohibited to drive in public places except for special
areas.
1.10 Space between vehicles: Remember to keep a proper distance from the vehicle ahead,
since it may stop suddenly at any moment.
1.11 Passengers: Never carry or lift persons with this stacker.
1.12 Headroom: Never use the stacker in areas where the headroom is lower than the height of
loads or mast.
1.13 Operation in a lift or loading platform: If the load capacity of the lift or platform is sufficient
and the space is enough for stacker operation, they can be used for transportation with the
permission from the stacker user. The stacker must be confirmed by its driver himself before
entering the lift or loading platform. When entering the lift, the loads must enter ahead. And
locate the stacker in a suitable position to prevent from contacting walls around. If passengers
take the lift together with the stacker, they have to enter after the stacker enters and stops
firmly, and leave before the stacker.
1.14 Driving passageway and working area: The stacker must be driven in designated
passageway. Non-related persons must leave the working area. Loads must be stacked in
designated locations.
1.15 Operation Management: Driving speeds must be suitable to local conditions. Always drive in
lower speed when passing curved passageways, narrow passageways, rotary doors or any
obstructed places. The driver should be able to measure by sight and keep enough stopping
space from vehicles ahead all the time. It is prohibited to make an abrupt stop (unless in
emergency), rapid U-turn and chase with each other in obstructed places. Never operate the
stacker with the body stretching out of it.

Page 3

1.16 Visibility: The driver must keep his eyes on moving direction and have a clear view of the
road ahead. In case the loads carried block sight of the driver, the stacker has to be driven
reversely. If this is not practical, another person should walk in front of the stacker, giving
corresponding guidance and warning to the driver.
1.17 Passing a ramp: Only known ramps are permitted to pass. And the ramps must be clean,
anti-skid and meet specification requirements of the stacker. Loads on the fork must face the
downward slope. Never turn around, drive obliquely or stop on a slope. Pass a ramp in lower
speed and get ready for braking at any time.
1.18 Load capacity of the floor: Check if the weight of stacker and loads or wheel pressure on
the floor exceeds the load capacity of the floor.
1.19 Transportation: The fork should be kept lower than 300mm from the floor during
non-transportation driving. It is better to driver in reverse direction of the fork to get good vision
and mobility. Driving with the fork forward may cause unpredictable mobility problems.
1.20 Speed: Select a suitable speed, depending on floor conditions, visibility and the principle of
safety operation. During operation, it is prohibited to speed up, stop and turn suddenly, for that
may cause roll-over of the loads and the stacker.
1.21 Driving on loading platform or approach bridge: Before driving the stacker onto loading
platform or approach bridge of a truck, make sure to check load capacity of the approach
bridge and if it is equipped with anti-sliding devices. The driver must also check load capacity
of the truck and if there are devices to prevent the truck from moving.
1.22 Safe Parking: Pay attention to safety when parking the stacker. Never park the stacker on a
slope or on a ramp. The fork must be lowered down to the lowest position after parking. Turn off
the electric lock and remove the key to prevent unauthorized operation.
Please disconnect the wires linked to batteries, if the stacker will not be used for a long time
before recharging,
1.23 Signalling: Warning signals can be sent by the horn on the stacker.
1.24 Protection shoes: According to EU standard EN-345:1-S1, standard protective shoes must
be worn when operating on the stacker.
1.25 Truck modificationUnauthorized truck modification is not permitted. No modifications or
alterations to a powered industrial truck, which may affect, for example, capacity, stability or
safety requirements of the truck, shall be made without the prior written approval of the original
truck manufacturer, its authorized representative, or a successor thereof. This includes
changes affecting, for example braking, steering, visibility and the addition of removable
attachments. When the manufacturer or its successor approve a modification or alteration,
they shall also make and approve appropriate changes to capacity plate, decals, tags and
operation and maintenance handbooks.
Only in the event that the truck manufacturer is no longer in business and there is no
successor in the interest to the business, the user may arrange for a modification or alteration
to a powered industrial truck, provided, however, that the user shall:

Page 4

a) arrange for the modification or alteration to be designed, tested and implemented by

an engineer(s) expert in industrial trucks and their safety;
b) maintain a permanent record of the design, test(s) and implementation of the
modification or alteration;
c) approve and make appropriate changes to the capacity plate(s), decals, tags and
instruction handbook;
d) affix a permanent and readily visible label to the truck stating the manner in which the truck has
been modified or altered together with the date of the modification or alteration, and the name and
address of the organisation that accomplished the tasks.
Failure to comply with these instructions will invalidate the guarantee. The guarantee is
also invalidated if the hand-operated scissor lift pallet trucks are exported by the customer (or
a third party) illegally without the consent of Noblelift.

Page 16

4.3 Operation of the stacker

4.3.1 Starting-up, Driving and Parking
Be careful during starting up and driving, especially when part of your body stretches out of
stackers outlines.
Do not carry any other person during driving.
Emergency Stop
Pressing the emergency stop switch will stop all electric control functions.
Forced Braking
When the control handle is released, the stacker will brake automatically (emergently stop).
The control handle will enter the upper braking range (B1) automatically.
If the lever enters braking range slowly, make sure to find out its causes and troubleshooting the
failure. If necessary, replace the air spring of the handle.
Starting up
Start up the stacker only when the battery cover
is closed.

Starting-up the stacker.

Travelling speed is regulated with the controller.

Rotate the control lever to driving range

F, and adjust the control lever in required
direction, the stacker will move towards selected
direction.

Driving
Swing the control handle rightward or leftward to drive.
Motorized hand and hand/rider trucks employing a steering tongue control that extends
beyond the confines of the truck shall steer such that with the operator facing in the direction of
travel, with the load end trailing, clockwise movement of the steering tongue shall steer the truck
clockwise.

When the stacker comes across an obstacle, the force applied to swing the lever should be
smaller than driving in normal status. In such case, turn the steering wheel / arm carefully to break
away from the obstacle by moving forward or backward.

Page 17

Driving on a slope

Always keep loads face the downward slope when transport loads on a slope.
Take following safety measures against the rolling down: With the control button in position 0,
quickly press the handle backward. The driver should release the handle as required to make the
electromagnetic brake work automatically, controlling the speed and direction (if the driver find the
stacker is rolling down).

In case the stacker is rolling over, the operator should get away from the stacker right
away.
Braking
The braking performance of the stacker depends on floor condition. The driver must be clear about
this point.
Three braking methods are available:
Electromagnetic brake (control handle)
Use reverse current brake (from the controller)
Brake with the sensor (i.e. release the lever to brake)
Braking with the Electromagnetic Brake
In case of an emergency, always stop the stacker only with electromagnetic brake (control
lever).
Turn up or down the control handle to braking range B1 or B2, the drive motor will be
stopped mechanically.
When the control handle is released, it will enter the upper braking range (B1)
automatically.
After the stacker is stopped, the electromagnetic brake works as parking brake.
Braking with reverse current brake

If the control system or driving power fails, braking with reverse current is possible.
Turn controller in reversed direction of driving until the stacker stops.
Page 18

 Release the controller.

Braking by the inertia
When the controller is released, it returns to position 0, and brakes by inertia of the
motor.
The slowing down rate depends on the position of controller.
If the controller position is set to 0 and the inertia braking unit is removed by service
technician, you have to use electromagnetic brake or reverse current brake to brake the stacker.
4.3.2 Operation of lifting and lowering loads

Before lifting loads, the driver must check if the loads are placed on the pallet completely and
the weight of loads does not exceed the loading capacity. Do not transport in full load status
for a long time.
Make sure the fork reach under the loads as far as possible. When operate with Up or
Down button, the fork will move upward or downward at a fixed speed.
Lifting of the fork
Press the Up Switch until the fork arrives at required height.
Lowering of the Fork
Press Down Switch until the fork is lowered to required height.

Its prohibited to stand under the fork when the fork is moving upward or downward,
preventing crushing and shearing injuries to personnel.

The load backrest extension, if provided, should have height, width, and size of
openings sufficient to minimize the possibility of the load falling toward the mast when the
mast is in a position of maximum rearward tilt.

The load backrest extension, if provided, shall be constructed in a manner that does not
interfere with good visibility, and size of openings should not exceed 150 mm in one of the two
dimensions.
Safe Parking

Pay attention to safety when parking the stacker. Never park the stacker on a slope or on a
ramp. The fork must to be lowered to its lowest position after parking.
Lower the fork.
Turn electric lock from position 1 to 0 and remove the key.

5 Maintenance, Recharging and Replacement of the

Accumulator

5.1 Safety procedures for lead-acid accumulator operation

The stacker must be parked in a safe location before any operation on the accumulator.
5. Maintenance Technician
Only qualified technician can perform operations on the accumulator such as recharging,
maintenance and replacing. Before operation carefully read instruction manuals including
operation manual, replenishment preparation and recharging requirements.
5.1.2 Fire Prevention Measures
Never smoke or use open fire when perform operations on the accumulator. The accumulator
should be away from flammable material at least two meters when storage or recharging. The
location for accumulator storage should be well ventilated and equipped with fire fighting devices.
5.1.3 Maintenance of the Accumulator
1) Keep the nuts on every battery cell dry and clean. Tighten every terminal and cable end,
and brush them with grease to prevent corrosion. Naked cable ends and terminal posts should be
covered with a skid-proof insulating cover.
2) Every two cells should be well-connected. Check the nuts on each pole, if loose, tighten the
nuts.

3) Keep the surfaces of accumulator clean and dry. After the completion of recharging, clean
spilled acid with cotton yarns or brush. And clean with wet towel if necessary.
4Over recharging and over discharging should be avoided, and fast charging and insufficient
recharging are also not allowed. Otherwise life span of the accumulator may be affected.
5) Do not put conductive objects including metal tools on the accumulator, or short circuit or
even explosion may be caused.
6) Never spill any hazardous liquid or solid material on surfaces of the accumulator. When
using a densimeter or a thermometer, make sure the surface is clean and clear.
7) Recharge the discharged accumulator in time. Delayed recharging may damage the
accumulator. Do not delay recharging more than 24 hours.

Page 20

Recharging of the accumulator may

not work outdoors in cold weather. In this case, move it indoors to perform recharging.
8) If the accumulator will not be in use for a long time, it should be recharged and discharged
once every month and it should be fully recharged every time.
9) During recharging or using, the liquid level of electrolyte lowers because of water
evaporation, so pure water should be added. It is not allowed to add electrolyte with a specific
weight of 1.280.
10) If individual cell fails, identify the cause and repair the cell immediately. Replace the cell
when it cannot be repaired.
11) The site for recharging should be well ventilated. It is prohibited to smoke or use open fire,
avoiding the risk of hydrogen explosion.
12) The electrolyte in accumulator is toxic and corrosive. For this reason, always wear
working suit and protection glasses to protect your body from contacting the electrolyte in
accumulator.
13) If your clothes, skin or eyes are spilled with acid liquid in accumulator, flush with large
amount of clean water. For skin and eyes, flush with large amount of clean water and also seek
doctors treatment immediately. Acid spillage must be neutralized and treated immediately.
14) The weight and dimensions of the accumulator have remarkable effect on stability of the
stacker. Therefore do not modify the type of accumulator without approval from the manufacturer.
15) Never discharge in large current, for example, performs travelling and lifting
simultaneously.

To ensure safe operation, install the accumulator shield before using the stacker.
5.1.4 Disposition of worn-out accumulators
Worn-out accumulators should be recycled according to local regulations, and stored in
specified zone or cast-off treatment zone. These works should be done by qualified specialized
companies.
5.2 Specification of the accumulator
Weight and dimensions can be found on the nameplate of the accumulator.
Uninsulated terminal poles on the accumulator should be protected with an insulated cover.
When connecting the accumulator and socket, make sure to stop the stacker and put the switch at
Page 21

position 0.. When replace or install the accumulator, make sure the accumulator is fixed securely
in battery box.
5.3 Storage, transportation and installation of the accumulator
The stacker must be parked on the level ground steadily. To prevent short circuit, naked cable
ends and the terminal posts should be covered with insulated covers. When pulling out the
accumulator, properly arrange removed accumulator's connectors and cables without blocking
access of the accumulator.
When install or remove the accumulator with a crane, make sure the load capacity is sufficient
(weight of the accumulator is marked on both the nameplates of the accumulator and the stacker.)
The crane must pull vertically to prevent the battery box from being damaged. The hooks of the
crane should be safe and secure. Never let the hooks fall on an individual battery .
Press emergency stop switch and turn the power supply switch to OFF position.
Remove the connectors of accumulator
cables.
Connect the lifting device to lifting holes.
Lift out the accumulator from the top and move away with handling equipment.
Perform installation in reverse order of above steps. It is noticeable to put the accumulator in
right position and connect the cables securely. After reinstalling the accumulator, always check all
cable connections and connectors for obvious damage.

5.4 Capacity indicator of the accumulator

Capacity indicator of the accumulator The status of accumulator discharging is indicated on the
indicator with 10 bar graphs, each bar represents 10 percent of increment.
As the consumption of accumulator capacity, the lighting bars will fall down from the top.
Preset Warning marks will appear when remaining capacity of accumulator meets following
conditions: When the remaining capacity of the standard accumulator is 30 percent, Warning
mark will appear and you can recharge the accumulator.
Preset Warning mark and a flashing Stop mark will appear when remaining capacity of
accumulator meets following conditions: When the remaining capacity of standard accumulator is
20%, Stop mark will appear and keep lighting. When the Stop mark keeps lighting, lifting
function of the stacker will be cut off automatically.
Capacity sufficient

Recharging needed

Low battery

If the indicator shows low battery when lifting loads for a not very long period, lifting function
can only be performed after recharging the accumulator to at least 70% of capacity.
5.5 Recharging
The CS series of stackers is supplied with a special charger for recharging.
Read the instruction manual carefully before recharging.
The batteries should be recharged in well-ventilated areas. Make sure no metal objects placed on
the accumulator. Check all cables connection and connectors for obvious defects. Observe strictly
all safety instructions, e.g. replenishment of the accumulator and preparation for recharging.

Page 23

5.5.1 Balanced Recharging

After using for a period, voltage and concentration may vary from battery to battery. Balanced
recharging will eliminate the differences so that the performance of each cell becomes uniformed.
In following cases, balanced recharging is necessary: Voltage of an individual cell is
frequently below 1.7V; large current occurs during discharging, for example, when using the
driving motor and lifting motor simultaneously; for accumulators that are not recharged in time
after discharging: Over discharged accumulators and those are not in use for a long time.
Perform balanced recharging as follows:
A Recharge with a current of 0.1I5A.
B When the voltage up to 2.5V, and there occur bubbles in the electrolyte, continue recharging
at a reduced current of 0.05I5A.
C Recharge the accumulator to full capacity and stop recharging for half an hour, and then
continue recharging with further-reduced current of 0.025I5A for an hour.
D Stop recharging again for half an hour and continue recharging with a current of 0.025I5A for
an hour.
E Repeat step D until bubbles occurs intensely and instantly when switching on the charger.
Perform balanced recharging to accumulator once a month in normal use.

6 Maintenance and Service Manual

Never modify any parts, especially safety devices of the stacker without permission. Never change
the operation speeds of the stacker. All spare parts provided by original manufacturer are strictly
tested. Only use spare parts from the manufacturer for the guarantee of the safety and reliability of
stacker operation. The replaced material including oil should be collected and disposed of
according to local environment protection and health regulations.

6.1 Safety procedures for maintenance and service

Maintenance technician: The maintenance and service should only be performed by special
personnel trained by the manufacturer. After the technician sent by after-sales department of the
manufacturer completed maintenance and servicing work, they should sign on the service log.
Lifting of the stacker: When the stacker needs to be raised up for repair, the lifting device must
be safe and reliable, and must be strictly fixed to hook holes. When the stacker is raised up, proper
measures such as using wedges and wooden blocks must be applied to prevent the stacker from
sliding down or tilting over.
Cleaning Operation: Flammable liquid can not be used for cleaning the stacker. Before cleaning,
take safety precautions to prevent electric sparks (e.g. sparks caused by short circuit). You must
be very careful when cleaning the stacker with the steam cleaner or degreaser, because the
lubricating grease on the lubricated bearing may be diluted, thus resulting in damage to the
bearing and shortening of service life. When operating the accumulator, connectors on it must be
disconnected. Use soft air suction or compressed air, non-conductive and anti-static brushes to
clean electric and electronic components.

If you are going to use water spray or high pressure cleaner to clean the stacker, all electric
and electronic components must be covered carefully in advance because moisture may cause
them malfunction. Never use steam nozzles for cleaning.
Operation of Electric System: Operation on the electric system should only be performed by
specially trained personnel. Before performing any operation on the electric system, precautions
must be made to prevent electric shock. When operating the accumulator, connectors on it must

Page 25

be disconnected.
Welding Operation: To prevent electric components from being damaged, remove these electric
components before welding.
Installation: When repairing or replacing hydraulic components, electric and electronic
components, make sure to install them back to their original positions.
Wheels: Quality of the wheels has significant effect on stability and driving performance of the
stacker. Modification on wheels can be performed only with the approval from the manufacturer.
When replacing wheels, ensure that the stacker is levelled as delivery state (wheels must be
replaced in pairs, i.e. replace right wheel together with left one).
Lifting chain and rollers: Chain and rollers will be worn quickly without good lubrication. Perform
periodic lubrication according to following maintenance table. Shorten the lubrication period under
adverse operation conditions (such as in dusty and hot environment).
Hydraulic Oil Pipes: Replace the hydraulic oil pipes if damaged or aged.

6.2 Routine Maintenance (Before every shift)

6.2.1 Check the liquid level of electrolyte in the accumulator.
The liquid level will be higher when being recharged.
6.2.2 Check every pole, every cable and their covers.
6.2.3 Check if the accumulator box is secured.
6.2.4 Check the stacker for oil leakage.
6.2.5 Check the chain, rollers, fork, oil pipes and horn.
6.2.6 Check the brake.
6.2.7 Check the wear and tear of drive wheels and loading wheels.
6.3 Professional Maintenance Manual

It is very important for safe operation of the stacker to perform overall professional
maintenance. Failure in performing maintenance according to specified interval may cause
malfunction of the stacker, and potential risk to human and equipment.

Page 26

Maintenance periods listed in this manual apply to single shift a day under normal operation
conditions. If using in dusty environment, the ambient temperature varies remarkably or in
multi-shift situation, the maintenance period has to be shortened.
Maintain the stacker according to following maintenance list. Maintenance periods are as
follows:
W1 = Every 50 work hours, but at least once a week.
M3 = Every 500 work hours, but at least once every three months
M6 = Every 1000 work hours, but at least once every six months
M12 = Every 2000 work hours, but at least once every 12 months
Additional operations should be performed in trial run period:
(In initial 50 100 working hours or after two months)
Check the nuts on the wheels, and tighten them if necessary.
Check the hydraulic components for leakage, and tighten them if necessary.

Replace the hydraulic filter.
