2.2 Basic operation
This section provides an overview of basic operation of the Microstacker.
The Microstacker does not require a license to operate. However, before using the
machine in a production context, operators should be given the opportunity to familiarise
themselves with its use in a safe, supervised and low-pressure environment.
Becoming a skilled Microstacker operator requires time and practice. Although the
machine may feel clumsy at first, with frequent use it will soon become intuitive.
2.2.1 Turning on the power
1. Insert the KEY into the KEYSWITCH and turn it clockwise to power up the machine.
a. The EMERGENCY STOP button may also need to be pulled out. This large red
button instantly cuts power to all of the machine’s systems, and also functions
as a battery isolator switch.
2. If a BATTERY INDICATOR is fitted, it will now light up so you can check the level of
charge.
a. If the indicator shows only one or two bars, the Microstacker should not be
used right now and should be plugged in overnight to recharge the battery.
b. If the indicator shows two or more bars, the Microstacker is good to go.
2.2.2 Moving and steering
1. Release the park-brake by pressing it down with your foot.
2. Take hold of the tiller with both hands. By pressing forward on the tiller and turning it,
you will find the machine moves and turns easily.
When operating the stacker around other people, you can make them aware of the
machine by pressing the SAFETY SOUNDER button to emit an electronic warning tone.
2.2.3 Lifting and moving bins
1. Press both LOWER buttons to lower the carriage until it reached ground level.
2. Move the stacker towards a bin. The bin should be approached squarely from either
the front or the rear, so that the lifting carriage correctly engages with it.
Bins that are not properly engaged with the lifting carriage may fall out at any time.
3. Press both RAISE buttons until the bin is lifted a short distance off the ground, then
press forward on the tiller to start transporting the bin.
4. Once the destination (such as racking) is reached, press both RAISE buttons until the
bin is lifted to the appropriate height, then slowly move the stacker forward until the
bin is above the desired position.
If the racking has wheel chocks to prevent bins from moving, ensure that the bin’s wheels
are correctly aligned with the chocks before lowering it.
5. Press both LOWER buttons until the bin has been deposited, and the lifting arms have
disengaged. The Microstacker can now be withdrawn.
