If using the optional powerpack instead of a cordless drill, move
the direction selector switch to the
UP
position (Figure 3-19.).
Hold the handle so the enable trigger is pressed and squeeze the
speed trigger. The function speed is proportional to how far the
speed trigger is pressed.
To stop, simply release the speed trigger. A slow release makes
the platform come to a smooth stop.
Most cordless drills and the motor in the powerpack are fitted with
thermal overload protection. In case of overheating, this cuts
power to the motor. The cutout automatically resets itself when the
motor has cooled down, allowing normal operation to resume.
Depending on ambient temperature this can take 5 to 30 minutes.
Engaging the triggers to run the cooling fan will decrease the ther-
mal reset time.
The manual descent procedure (Section 4.1) can be used to lower
the platform if required.
• Do not attempt to elevate with no load in the platform.
• The platform has a total capacity of
150kg (330 lb.)
.
• The machine is not intended for use by children.
• Children must be supervised to
ensure they do not use or play with
the machine.
• Only
one
person is allowed to be
lifted by the platform.
