BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Always follow your facility's rules regarding wearing Personal Protective Equipment such as safety
shoes and protective glasses whenever operating, working with, or assembling or dismantling
hand pallet trucks.

DELIVERY INSPECTION
Visually inspect the frame components and hydraulic unit for damage during shipment by carrier. If
damage is evident, notify delivering carrier immediately and file necessary claims. Test the manual
pump for proper operation. If the hydraulic pump does not respond to movement of the
handle, an air lock may have developed during shipping. To remedy this, go to the user
friendly TROUBLESHOOTING guide in this manual.

SAFETY
(read and understand prior to using this product)
• Read and obey all labels on this product. If you have any questions about these, ask your
supervisor.
• Do not operate this hand pallet truck unless you are authorized and trained to do so.
• Never overload your hand pallet truck. Stay within its rated capacity.
• Do not operate this truck if damaged or not in proper working order.
• Distribute the load evenly on the forks. Do not concentrate loads at one point or load one fork
more than the other.
• When the load impairs visibility, the hand pallet lift truck should be pulled and not pushed.
• Always look where you are operating. Keep a clear view.
• Only handle loads on flat level surfaces. Do not use a loaded truck on inclines or declines.
• Never carry passengers.
• Never put your feet, hands, or any other body part under the frame assembly.
• Always yield right of way to pedestrians.
• Do not allow your hand pallet truck to drop from one level to another. Even a drop of 1 in.
(25 mm) more than doubles the effective load momentarily and results in a loading that can
bend or break components.
• Move loads only with the hand pallet truck in its lowest position.
• Always make sure that the load is stable before moving to eliminate the opportunity for load
shift.
• Use extreme care when rounding corners. Too fast a speed could cause a hand pallet lift truck to
tip. If loaded, the load could shift and fall.
• When not in use, fully lower the forks.
• Never lift a heavy load with just the points of the forks. This could damage the electronic
weighing elements permanently.
• Never weigh without a pallet. This could affect the accuracy of the weighing result.
• The unit may be loaded with weights up to 5000 lb. (2268 kg).
• Do not operate the weighing system on ramps, inclines or declines, without the addition of our
optional parking brake.
• Do not operate the weighing system while others are on or near the unit. No riding!
• Do not use the weighing system in potentially explosive areas.
• Do not weld or make changes to the weighing system without consulting the supplier.
• Check the accuracy of the scale on a regular basis to prevent faulty readings.
• Never lower loads if you are unsure you can place the load on a stable surface. Personal injury
may result from placement on an unstable environment.
• Always remain with the scale during dosing applications. Incorrect lifting of the pallet can cause
overflowing.
• Lift-Rite is not responsible for errors that occur due to incorrect weights or inaccurate scales.

The Battery
The power supply to the system takes place through an exchangeable battery pack. A completely
charged battery should operate for a total weighing time of about 35 hours (on a system without a
printer).

CAUTION! - When the voltage level of the battery is running low, the dis-
play shows “LO-BA”. When the battery is completely empty, the weighing
system shuts off.
It is necessary to charge the battery for at least 6 hours before the first use. Recharge the battery
when the LO-BA indicator comes on.

If you use the system in shift work or if the system has a built-in printer, it is recommended to
purchase a supplementary battery pack.

The battery should be charged using the adapter supplied with the charger. When the battery is
charging, the LED on the charger is lit. When the LED turns off, the battery is fully charged.

It is not possible to overcharge the battery because the charger shuts off automatically.

OPERATION MANUAL

USING THE WEIGHING HAND PALLET TRUCK


Accurate Weighing
The weight must be centered over the forks of the pallet truck and lift freely: without touching the
housing of the indicator or other pallets.

7
Lift-Rite, Tel: Toll Free from USA: 1-800-558-6012, Greene, NY 13778, Publication Number 1234959D ©2022 Dated 14 Sep 2022
Fast temperature changes should be avoided because condensation may form in the electronics.
During acclimatization the indicator must be turned off.

Taking the System into Operation


To activate the scale, turn it on using the on/off () button on the terminal.

After 3 to 5 minutes the electronics and load cells have reached the operational temperature. Before
this, inaccuracies of up to 0.3% may occur.

It is recommended not to lift loads before the zero-point correction is executed. (See
“TROUBLESHOOTING” on page 20).

Maintenance
The maintenance guidelines for normal pallet trucks apply to the chassis of the mobile scale. The
integrated scale functions even though the chassis is damaged by overloading.

Main guidelines:

• Because the steering wheels are mounted in the front, pulling of the pallet truck is preferred
above pushing it.
• When the lifting mechanism is not used, the handle should be kept in the neutral (middle)
position. This prolongs the life-span of the seals.
• The scale meets up to the protection class NEMA 4/IP65. This means that dust or moisture (rain
or water beam from all sides) does not influence the operation of the electronics. However,
high-pressure cleansing in combination with warm water or chemical cleansers leads to the
entry of moisture and has a negative influence on the operation of the system.
• To avoid damage to load cells and electronics, only the Authorized Service Center may
undertake any welding.
• The bearings of the wheels (non-polyurethane) and the pivoting points of the leveling bar of the
loading wheels must be cleansed and greased regularly.

Piece Count: Sampling
If an unknown piece weight is to be determined, you may do this by sampling a certain number of
pieces. The number of pieces taken from or placed on the scale determines the accuracy of the
sampling. The total weight of the pieces taken from or placed on the scale for the sampling should
be no less than 9 to 10 lbs. (4.1 to 4.5 kg). The greater the weight difference, the greater accuracy.
The standard sampling amount is 10 pieces, but this number can be increased up to 95 pieces.

CALIBRATION

Calibration Instructions Indicator


The calibration mode can only be accessed from the standard weighing mode. You cannot get into the cal-
ibration mode when you are in piece count mode.

Defining Zero
• Unload the system.
• Switch the system on.
• To enter the zero calibration mode, press the >0< key for 10 seconds.
• After 3 seconds, the display shows the last entered code.
• After 7 seconds, the display goes into the zero calibration mode and starts adjusting.
• The display shows “Adj08” and run down until “Adj00”. The adjustment was completed.
• The indicator shows the percentage of the total capacity that was adjusted. For a normal
scale, this would be between 5 and 8 percent. A larger percentage could mean one or more
load cells are broken. A lower percentage could mean the fork cover is not mounted.
• When the zero point is defined, the system automatically returns to the standard weighing
mode.

Single Point Calibration


• Press the key for about 10 seconds.
• After 3 seconds, the display shows the last entered pre-set tare value.
• After 7 seconds, the display goes into calibration mode.
• The display shows the first calibration point with the pointer “e1” flashing.
• Use the and keys to see the three earlier programmed values on the display.
• The pointer moves through e1-3. “e1” is the first calibration point, “e2” the second, and “e3”
the third.
When calibrating only one point, the second and third values should be set to zero.
• Use the and keys to move to the second calibration point.
• The display shows the pointer “e2” flashing.
• Press the key.
• The display shows the previously entered calibration value, with the last segment flashing.
• Use the , , and keys to return all the segments to zero.

PARAMETER SETTINGS

ATTENTION: Before entering the setup mode, make sure that the battery sup-
ply is sufficient. A low battery may cause the micro-processor to block. If
this happens remove the empty battery and replace it with a fully charged
battery. You should be able to start the indicator in the normal way.

To enter the setup mode, turn on the indicator and keep the key pressed for 20 seconds. You go
through the normal start-up routine (all segments on; software version; calibration number, and
weight) and end up in the “P_01” with the right digit flashing.

At this stage you may proceed as follows:

• Press the key quickly to enter parameter 01.


• The display shows the setting for this parameter at this moment.
• You may change the setting by using the or the key.
OR
• You can accept the setting by pressing .
OR
• To move to the next parameter you press the key.
OR
• To move to the previous parameter you press the key.

To leave the set-up mode, you do the following:

• With “P_XX” in the display, press the key quickly.


• The display shows “P_00”.
• Press the key again quickly.
• If a change was made to the settings, the display shows “SET__” briefly and then returns to
the normal weighing mode. The calibration number is increased every time a change is
made in the set up and also after a new calibration.
• If no change was made, the display returns into the normal weighing mode.
