1. MAIN SWITCH / EMERGENCY STOP 

The 

BENOMIC S500

 can be switched on and off with the main switch. If the red key is in 

the running direction (vertical), then the trolley is ON, if the red key is perpendicular to the 
running direction (horizontal), then the trolley is OFF. The 

BENOMIC S500

 is activated 

after a reset button (2/10) is operated. When the 

BENOMIC S500

 is switched on, a bleep 

signal will sound and the indicator will flash Red once and then illuminate in 
Green/flashing, the battery status indicator will also start up (see  Platform Controls). 
When the 

BENOMIC S500

 is not being used or charged, the red key should be taken out 

of the ignition. The main switch also serves as an emergency stop. If the key is positioned 
horizontally, the trolley is completely switched off. 
 

2. SCISSOR UNLOCK SWITCH KNOB/RESET

 

The release button (2) releases the service button (3) for use, this button must be pressed 
continuously during the upward or downward movement. 
 
In addition the unlock/reset button (2) activates 

the BENOMIC S500

 after the main switch 

(1) is moved into the vertical position. 

 
3. SCISSOR-CONTROL SERVICE BUTTON  

The scissor-control selector switch allows the platform to be raised or lowered without 
standing on it. The 

BENOMIC S500

 should not be on the pipe-rails for this operation! 

Keep the release button (2) pressed and turn the service button (3) clockwise (white stripe 
up) and the platform will rise as long as the buttons are operated. Keep the release button 
(2) pressed and turn the service button (3), white stripe downwards, and the platform will 
lower as long as the button is operated. 
 
 

Attention! 

 

-

 

Ensure that no persons or objects can get under or between the scissors 
construction while lowering! 

-

 

An acoustic signal will sound when the platform slowly falls in the last bit! 

-

 

Provide adequate space above the BENOMIC S500 to allow the scissors to go 
up! 

-

 

Do not use the buttons if anyone is on the platform!
