Operating Instructions
Crown PTH50 Series pallet trucks feature a simple
raise/neutral/lower method.
• To raise forks, push the actuating lever "down" to
the RAISE position and pump the handle up and
down until the full height is reached. The hydraulic
unit's "top-of-stroke" hydraulic fluid bypass mini-
mizes stress on the system when load is raised to
maximum lift height. Excessive pumping will not
damage the truck's pump.
• Before maneuvering the truck, move the actuator
lever to the NEUTRAL position thereby releasing
the handle from additional pumping effort.
• To lower forks, pull the actuator lever "up" to the
LOWER position.
Safety Hints for Hand Pallet Truck Opera-
tors
Safe hand pallet truck operation pays off in these
three ways:
1. You avoid injury and loss of time to yourself.
2. You prevent accidents involving fellow employees.
3. You prevent damage to the equipment as well as
the material you are handling.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury to yourself and others, ob-
serve the following safety instructions.
1. Do not operate this truck unless you are trained
and authorized
2. Read and obey all warnings and instructions in the
operator's section of this manual and labels on the
truck.
3. Make sure truck is in good working order.
4. Do not use your pallet truck as a scooter or permit
riders.
5. Keep your arms, hands, legs and feet away from
load, lift linkage and forks. You or anyone else
should never pass or place any body part under the
elevated portion of truck or load it is carrying.
6. Use neutral position when maneuvering loads.
(This reduces operator fatigue).
7. Maintain a safe distance from edges of ramps,
dock boards and dock.
8. A dock board can move or drop while you are on it.
Or you could drive off a dock. Falls from docks and
dock boards can cause serious injury or even
death. Make sure you are safe.
9. Handle only safe loads.
10. Do not overload your truck (know the truck's ca-
pacity) or yourself. In the long run, you may save
time and avoid injury by making more than one trip.
11. Position forks evenly under the load to permit safer
movement and easier positioning.
12. Do not pick up a load with one fork.
13. Avoid moving loads up or down grades, ramps or
inclines. Should you have to make an emergency
stop the truck can be stopped by rapidly lowering
the load on the forks.

14. When moving loads up or down grades, ramps or
inclines, always work from the high side of the
grade. Do not turn. Always travel straight up or
down.
15. Make sure that ramps, elevators and dock boards
have sufficient capacity to handle your load and
you.
16. Pull, rather than push loads on long distance
moves. (It is easier to see where you are going and
it is easier to steer your truck!)
17. Watch for overhead obstructions when handling
tall loads.
18. Park your pallet truck in a safe, level place with the
handle up and forks lowered.
