Installation and Commissioning
The Mobile Lifter must be operated in such a way that no crushing or shearing points occur between the Mobile
Lifter and/or the picked-up load and objects in the vicinity. Therefore, ensure sufficient space around the Mobile
Lifter and make sure that there are no persons in the movement area (recommended safety distance at least 2
metres on all sides). It must always be possible to carry out all activities on the Mobile Lifter or the load without
obstructions when operating it as intended.
The following installation and operating requirements must be observed:
The Mobile Lifter must be integrated into the existing machinery in such a way that the basic safety require-
ments of the EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC are met. This must be checked and ensured by the opera-
tor of the Mobile Lifter.
The environment must not be explosive.
For stationary use, both parking brakes on the rear castors must generally be activated.
This operating manual and any supplementary documents must be read carefully and understood.
All safety instructions and regulations must be observed and complied.

Operating the Mobile Lifter
Before operating the Mobile Lifter, the operating personnel must ensure that no hazards are
caused by the mechanical movements of the Mobile Lifter or during mobile transport.
Generally wear safety shoes with steel toecaps and suitable protective work clothing!

Switching ON the Mobile Lifter ML-120
Figure 6: Main switch
•
Before working with the Mobile Lifter, the batteries must be in a
charged state (for details refer to section
•
Before clamping, the vacuum must be completely built up.
•
To switch on the entire system of the Mobile Lifter ML-120, turn the
main switch (
1
) to the right to the “
ON
” position
→
After waiting for
approx. 3 seconds, the white indicator lamp
(11
) on the control cabinet
lights up and signals that the unit is ready for electrical operation.
→
The vacuum pump starts automatically.
•
The fuse (
F8
) protects the charging station (
23
) and the fuse (
F2
) pro-
tects the battery monitor (see
Figure 14). I
max
= each 1 A slow-blow.
•
If the system is switched on for the first time or after a longer period of time, the red warning lamp (
10
) lights
up until the vacuum required for safe operation is reached.
→
Work may only be started after the red warning lamp (
10
) is off.
Risk of injury from falling or crashing panel material! Work may only be started when the red
warning lamp (10) is off! Only then is there sufficient vacuum for safe clamping of the panel by
means of the vacuum clamping device.
Please observe the operating and pause times of the actuators as specified by the manufacturer:
Tilt Actuator: under full load max. 20 % operation at 80 % pause (related to the total time).
Height Actuator: under full load max. 15 % operation at 85 % pause (related to the total time)
After work or during maintenance work, the main switch (1) must generally be switched off.
After completing the work, please observe and follow the supplementary instructions in section
