4.3.2
Hooking in underneath the step
Under normal operating conditions, with the
load in a well-balanced position, the moving
support arm is always clear of the underside of
the upper step. If the Hercules LITE is laid back
too far, the support arm will be tripped by
touching the tread it is on, causing it to rotate
under the upper tread. The electronics will go
into overload mode and will need to be reset.
4.3.3
Overload
Do not overload.
Exceeding the load capacity will activate overload mode causing the operation to stop, lowering the main
wheels slowly to the lower step. The indicator lamp flashes red for about 3 seconds after which the
ascend/descend button will need to be reset.
Once the battery has been discharged the unit will go into overload even with loads below the
specified capacity.
4.3.4
HERCULES LITE is not a rubber pad
In the beverage industry drums are sometimes directly thrown from the truck onto the hand truck instead
of a rubber pad or old tyre.
