6.1 Transportation
When the lifting trolley is not being used for moving, the brakes on the two wheels that
have brakes must always be applied. The platform/lifting device must always be in its
lowest position when transporting goods with the lifting trolley.
Never transport goods when the load bed is in raised position.
6.2 Operating the platform/lifting device
The main switch must be ON in order to operate the platform/lifting device, see illustra-
tion 1.
Operating then takes place using the control unit (UP/DOWN), see illustration 2 .
Remember to always have full supervision of the machine and all parts of the load
when operating.
6.3 What to do when you have finished using the lifting trolley
The lifting trolley may be left with the platform/lifting device in raised position fol-
lowing a completed work task, providing this does not cause any undue inconvenience
or risks.
We recommend that the platform/lifting device is lowered as a rule to bottom
position following completed work task.
Switch off the main switch and ensure that there is no unauthorised use.
7 BATTERY
7.1 Function
The batteries are maintenance-free and are not sensitive to being positioned upright or
horizontally.
Only use original batteries in order to eliminate any operational disturbances.
7.2 Battery charging
To ensure the longest service life possible for the batteries, they must be charged at
least once every 24 hours, e.g. during the night. The charging process starts immediately
after the plug is inserted in the socket. The battery cannot be overcharged as the charger
changes to maintenance charging when the battery is fully charged. If the lifting trolley
is not used for long periods of time, it should be connected to the electricity socket and
left on trickle charge.
7.3 Storage
As the lifting trolley contains batteries it is important how you store the trolley if the
machine is not to be used for a long time.
The battery discharges itself when the lifting trolley is not in use. An important and de-
cisive factor for the battery’s service life is the temperature the battery is stored at. The
battery and the lifting trolley should always be stored in a dry area with an ambient
temperature as close as possible to +20°C.
The main switch must always be OFF when the lifting trolley is not being used.
