2.3 Manual operation
The OpeMax Lite can be operated with the hand control
and on the control box. The curl cord allows you to
stand next to the user during hoisting. The hand control
is used to:
•
Move the hoist up or down.
•
The legs can be spread electrically..
The control buttons are shown below

2.4 Control box
The engine is controlled by the control box, which is
attached to the frame between the handlebar.
On top of the control box is a battery that provides the
power. At the bottom of the control box are the motor,
hand control and power cable connections.
In the following chapters we will discuss the
operation of the control box in more detail.

2.4.1 Emergency stop
By pressing the red emergency stop button (figure 2),
the hoist immediately stops moving.
The hoisting of the emergency stop can be done by
turning the knob.
Also use the emergency stop to turn the hoist off when
you don't need it for a long time. This will keep the slow
discharge of the battery to a minimum.
2.4.2 Control box operation
The buttons of the manual control are also located on
the control box (figure 2). This can be used when the
manual control does not work, is lost or is out of reach.
2.4.3 Control lights
On the control box are a number of lights.
The green control light "on" (see figure 1) means that the
control box is on and ready for use. The lamp "charge"
next to it lights up when the battery is being charged.
How full the battery is can be seen on the "battery status"
lights (see page 6).
The "service" light with underneath the sign of an open-
end wrench lights up when the hoist is ready for service.
It will blink orange and can be reset by a service
technician. This is to guarantee that the hoist is and
remains safe.
2.5 Battery
There are two types of batteries available. Lead (Pb) and
Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) batteries. A Pb Battery is included
with the hoist as standard.
Pb Batteries are cheaper to buy and have the property
that when the battery is low, the hoist can still be used
with the rest of the power, Li-ion batteries are one on top
of the other empty. Li-ion batteries have about 5x longer
life span, are lighter, more environmentally friendly and
can be left unused for longer. Self-discharge is minimal.
(Art.nr. Pb battery = 31101070, Li-Ion battery =
31101071)
The battery is equipped with a simple mounting
mechanism. On the back of the battery is a handle that
locks and unlocks the battery on the OpeMax Lite. The
best way to do this is to press the handle of the battery
on the top side during installation so that the lock is open
during installation.

It is also possible to take a second battery with the hoist
to ensure a full battery. A separate wall charger
(32106680) can also be supplied.
Always make sure that the battery is sufficiently
charged before you start using the OpeMax Lite.
