Maintenance
Routine Periodic Maintenance
Every 90 days -
• Check for loose hardware and signs of
excessive wear.
• Check to be sure that the unit is placed on a
firm level surface.
Setup Procedures
1. The PL 2002 must be properly installed
according to the installation section of this manual.
2. With no load on the unit use shop air or an
air compressor to pressurize the air actuation
system to the required initial pressure. The unit
is equipped with an air pressure gauge and an
air manifold valve that includes a valve stem, a
manual relief knob, and a safety relief valve. Add
air to the actuator system through the valve stem,
and release air from the system by loosening the
manual relief valve.
3. Gradually load the PL 2002 to 75% of the setup
capacity, up to 1500 kg maximum. Check to see if
the unit is fully compressed. If not, turn the manual
relief knob to slowly bleed air out of the system until
the platform reaches minimum, fully compressed

Possible Cause
Not enough air pressure
Too much air pressure
The base frame of the unit may not
be level.
Wear or lack of lubrication to
bearings under turntable.
Normal condition caused by
wear-hardening of metal.
height; then tighten the manual relief knob. The
setup procedure is now complete and the PL 2002
is ready for use.
4. If a different load is to be handled, or if the
operator prefers a higher or lower loading/
unloading position from that of the standard setup,
add air to, or bleed air from the actuation system to
achieve the necessary height. The gauge should
never be more than 4,27 bar when the unit has
no load on it.
* NOTE: The actuation system of the PL 2002
contains captive air much like an automotive
tire and will lose small amounts of air over time.
Therefore, air may have to be occasionally added
to the system to compensate for the loss.
Quick Setup
If you do not know or cannot estimate the weight
of the pallet load to be handled, use the following
instructions:
With no load on the unit, pressurize the actuation
system to 4,27 bar. Place about half of the pallet
load onto the unit, then slowly bleed air from the
system using the manual relieve knob until the
pallet reaches the most convenient height for the
operator to continue loading the pallet.
