PalletPal Stack-N-Go
The battery operated stackers are very powerful lifts
capable of doing large amounts of work.
DO NOT OPERATE THESE LIFTS WITHOUT
CAREFULLY READING THIS MANUAL. In order
to provide for the safe operation of these stackers,
Southworth has identied certain hazards that may oc-
cur during the maintenance and use of these lifts. For
safety reasons these units are designed to be serviced
or repaired in the fully lowered position. If performed
properly, this will greatly reduce the possibility of
injury.
WARNING!
When servicing the unit:
1. Key should be in "OFF" position.
2. E-stop should be depressed.
3. Disconnect the batteries at the terminals.
• Do not perform any repair work on lifts if
there is a load on the forks or platform.
• Do not perform any repair work if the forks
or platform is in the raised position.
• All personnel must stand clear of the lift
while in motion.
• Do not put hands or feet under the forks or
platform.
• Do not stand underneath the forks or plat-
form.
• Do not stand in front of the stacker while in
motion.
• Do not stand, sit or climb on the lift.
• Do not use the lift on soft, uneven or unstable
surfaces.
• Do not exceed the load center or capacity.
WARNING!
You or others around you can be seriously injured
or even killed if you don't use this stacker correctly.
Read and obey all warnings and instructions in this
manual and on the stacker. It is your responsibil-
ity before starting work to make sure it is in good
working order.
Always be alert to the area around you and watch where
you are walking. Be careful that you don't get pinned
or crushed between the stacker and a xed object such
as a wall or post.
• Watch your hands and feet. A foot or hand
caught between the stacker and a xed object will
be crushed or even cut off.
• If traveling forks rst, keep both hands on
the control handle and be careful when changing
direction of travel. Keep your feet clear of the
stacker.
• Keep the stacker under control at all times.
Operate at a speed that allows you to stop safely.
Be even more careful on slippery or uneven sur-
faces. Do not run over objects on the oor.
• Perform all stacker movements smoothly and
at a speed that will give you time to react if an
emergency occurs.
Tipovers and falls are very serious accidents; you can
be crushed or even killed. To prevent injury, know
where you are at all times and follow the rules of safe
stacker operation.
• Be careful when working around docks,
dockboards and trailers. Stay away from the
edge of docks and ramps. Check to make sure the
wheels of truck or trailers are chocked.
• Travel with the load or forks close to the
ground. Watch for overhead obstructions. Per-
form all stacker movements smoothly and at a
speed that will give you time to react in an emer-
gency.
• Keep your hands and feet away from all mov-
ing parts such as masts, chains, forks or wheels.
• Never stand on or under the forks, or allow
anyone else to stand on or under them. Never ride
on the stacker or allow anyone else to ride. There
is no safe place to sit or stand.
• Before you leave your stacker, be sure to
lower the forks to the oor. Shut the stacker off
with the key.

INSTALLATION
A. INSPECTION:
Upon receipt of the stacker, inspect the equipment com-
pletely to determine if there is any shipping damage, and
that the lift is complete. Southworth tests and inspects
every piece of equipment prior to shipment. If damage
is apparent, a freight claim must be led with the freight
company. Do not use the stacker if there appears to be
any damage. With the stacker in a lowered position,
check the following:
• Check for signs of damage especially to the
back cabinet that houses the battery, electrical/
hydraulic power pack.
• Check all electrical and hydraulic connec-
tions for tightness.
• Remove back panel.
1. Turn key switch to "OFF" position.
2. Push in E-stop and unscrew the red knob,
3. Lift off back panel. There is enough wire
to the key switch to allow the panel to be set
aside.
• Inspect for any bent or damaged parts.
B. REMOVING FROM PALLET
Each of the Southworth stackers is shipped out on a
pallet or skid. Prior to removing the unit from the pal-
let or skid, remove all tie down straps and packaging.
Visually inspect the unit as closely as possible.
With an overhead hoist or forklift, carefully pick up the
unit taking into consideration the center of gravity of the
unit. If you choose to pick the unit with an overhead
hoist, use a nylon sling and hoist with a minimum of
2,000-lb. capacity. The nylon sling will not do any dam-
age to the steel construction of stacker. Pick the unit
up. On conventional masts use the top crossmember of
the lift. On narrow masts the cover must be removed
to access lifting equipment. Be careful of the stacker
swinging once fully lifted off the pallet or skid. Have
all personnel completely cleared from the area.
Pick the unit up approximately six inches above the
pallet or skid. Once raised, remove the pallet or skid
from below the lift. Do not move the lift around in the
air. Lower the stacker on the ground.
C. PREPARATION FOR USE
This stacker left our factory in new condition. It has been
inspected and weight tested to assure all performance
standards have been met.
Visually inspect the stacker for damage. Check for at-
tachments and accessories that may have been ordered.
If there is any damage or missing parts, report it to your
carrier and your Southworth dealer immediately.
Remove all metal/plastic bands, cardboard and other
material used for shipping purposes.
Check to see if chains are in place, and that the lift sys-
tem is in working order. Inspect for oil leaks.
Connect battery cable. Check cables and wires on bat-
tery charger as well as battery.
