Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the AT Z-1135 spring guide and what does it do?
A: The AT Z-1135 is a spring guide component for the Atlas Zenith manual pallet jack. It is installed within the hydraulic unit assembly to maintain proper spring alignment and prevent lateral spring deformation during compression cycles.
Q: Which Atlas pallet jack models use the AT Z-1135 spring guide?
A: The AT Z-1135 spring guide is compatible with the Atlas Zenith manual pallet jack. It works in conjunction with other hydraulic components in the Type 9 hydraulic unit assembly.
Q: Why is the AT Z-1135 spring guide important for hydraulic performance?
A: The spring guide centers the compression spring within the hydraulic unit, preventing binding or uneven load distribution. Improper guide function or wear causes lateral spring deflection, which reduces spring efficiency and can lead to hydraulic control failures.
Q: What symptoms indicate the AT Z-1135 spring guide needs replacement?
A: Signs of guide wear include irregular spring compression, hydraulic pressure hold loss, visible spring damage from contact with cylinder walls, or grinding noise during operation. If the spring appears off-center in the hydraulic unit, the guide may be deteriorated.
Q: Should the AT Z-1135 be replaced with the spring?
A: It is recommended practice to inspect the AT Z-1135 guide whenever the AT Z-1134 spring is replaced. If the guide shows wear, contact marks, or damage, replace it to ensure proper spring centering and extend the lifespan of the replacement spring.
