• The lifting device must be adapted to the shape and dimensions of the load.
• Always try to position the load in the centre of the platform/lifting device to avoid in-
stability. Furthermore, avoid having loads that protrude outside the platform/lifting de-
vice, and always ensure that the load is stable on the trolley, and if required, strapped in
place. Allow for the risk that the load may start to move, or collapse.
• Use safe and adequate lifting devices when moving loads to and from the lifting trol-
ley. Pay particular attention when handling heavy goods, and goods with dangerous
contents.
• The lifting trolley must undergo preventive maintenance on a regular basis for the
purpose of avoiding accidents.
• It is prohibited for people to be on the platform/lifting device.
• When the lifting trolley is left unattended, ensure that the wheel brakes are applied, so
as to avoid unintentional movement. The brakes must also be applied if this is required
by the current work task.
• Take care when handling freely suspended loads.
• Do not use the lifting trolley as a jack for vehicle lifting for example.
• The lifting trolley must not come into direct contact with foodstuffs.
• Do not use the lifting trolley in potentially explosive environments.
• When using in public environments, particularly where children can reach the wor-
king area of the machine, the operator must take adequate measures to prevent people
from entering the risk zone, for example, by cordoning off the work area, or by fitting
the machine with a guard. We recommend that a risk analysis is prepared based on the
Machinery Directive for the relevant working situation.
• A load must not be present on the platform/lifting device during inspections, service
and repairs.
• The lifting trolley’s drive unit is located beneath protective housing. This may only be
removed by personnel sufficiently qualified to carry out inspections, service, and re-
pairs.
• Only Hallins original spare parts may be used when replacing parts. Failure to observe
this may nullify the warranty obligation in full.
• The motor housing and certain other components are made of plastic. They must not
be exposed to flames or corrosive chemicals.
• Observe crushing risk between the platform/lifting device and supporting legs, and
between platform/lifting device and mast.
