Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the WE A318 adjustment screw do in a Wesco CPI pallet jack?
A: The WE A318 is a factory OEM adjustment screw that controls the hydraulic release valve sensitivity in Wesco CPI manual pallet jacks. It regulates the pressure setting at which the lowering valve opens, ensuring controlled descent and load holding capability.
Q: Which pallet jacks use the WE A318?
A: The WE A318 is designed for Wesco CPI series manual pallet jacks. Confirm your equipment model and serial range match CPI specification before ordering. The screw is located in the hydraulic lowering valve assembly.
Q: What material is the WE A318 made from?
A: The WE A318 is manufactured from hardened steel to withstand repeated contact with hydraulic fluid, pressure variations, and mechanical stress during adjustment. This material resists corrosion and thread damage in the hydraulic environment.
Q: When should the WE A318 be replaced?
A: Replace the WE A318 if the screw head is damaged or stripped, if corrosion prevents adjustment, or if the pallet jack fails to hold load or descends uncontrollably despite valve maintenance. A damaged adjustment screw compromises your ability to regulate lowering valve performance.
Q: Is the WE A318 the correct part for controlling descent speed?
A: Yes. The WE A318 adjustment screw directly controls hydraulic lowering valve settings in the Wesco CPI lowering mechanism. Proper adjustment ensures smooth, controlled descent and load holding. Cross-check your pallet jack model documentation to confirm this is the valve adjustment component for your unit.
