Installation and Commissioning
The Ergoplan must be set up in a stable position so that there are no crushing or shearing points between the
Ergoplan and/or the load and objects in the vicinity. Therefore, ensure sufficient space around the Ergoplan. It
must be possible to carry out the intended work on the Ergoplan or the load without obstruction.
The following installation and operating requirements must be observed:
The Ergoplan must be integrated into the existing machinery in such a way that the basic safety requirements
of the EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC are met. This must be checked and ensured by the operator of the
Ergoplan.
The environment must not be explosive.
This operating manual and any supplementary documents must be read carefully and understood.
All safety instructions and regulations must be observed and complied.

Operation
Before operating the Ergoplan, the operator must ensure that no hazards are caused by the
movement of the Ergoplan platform.
Generally wear steel-toed safety shoes and suitable protective work clothing!
10.1
Loading and Unloading the Platform
When loading or unloading the work platform, the load distribution according to section
Load Distri-
bution and Influence on the Nominal Load
“
must be observed and complied with.
A load placed on the Ergoplan must be secured with suitable measures against slipping, tipping over, rolling
away and falling down. This is particularly necessary for loads that have an unstable position on the plat-
form or that do not rest snugly on the Ergoplan plate due to their shape and/or nature (e.g. rolling objects).
10.2
Lifting and Lowering the Platform
Before lifting or lowering a load, make sure that the Ergoplan has a secure footing. With version
Ergoplan 1, the undercarriage must first be folded in before the work platform may be moved.
10.2.1
Height Adjustment
When adjusting the height downwards, make sure that there are no objects on the shelf under the
table that are higher than the lowest position of the table top.
Pay attention to the existing danger of crushing hands and fingers, especially when moving the
platform downwards. Never reach under the table top during height adjustment!
The hydraulic height adjustment of the work bench top is based on 2 parallel column guides, with the hydraulic
power unit located in the left column.
