2.3 Hand Control
The Tilly basic can be operated with the hand control and on the
control box. The curled cord allows you to stand next to the user
during hoisting. The hand control is used to:
•
raise or lower the lifting arm.
•
electrically spread legs.
The control buttons are shown below

2.4 Control box
The motor is controlled by the control box, which is mounted
against the frame between the handlebar.
On top of the control box is a battery that provides the power
supply. At the bottom of the control box are the motor, manual
control and power cord connections.
In the following chapters we will go into more detail about its
operation.
2.4.1 Emergency Stop
By pressing the red emergency stop button (figure 2), the hoist
immediately stops moving.
You can release the emergency stop by turning the knob.
Also use the emergency stop to switch off the hoist when
not needed for a longer period of time. This minimizes the
slow drainging of the battery.
2.4.2 Control box operation
The buttons of the manual control are also on the control box
(figure 2). This can be used when the hand control is not working,
lost or out of reach.
2.4.3 Control lights
There are a number of lights on the control box.
The green control light “
on
” (see figure 1) means that the control
box is on and ready for use. The "
charge
" light next to it lights up
when the battery is being charged.
You can see how full the battery is on the "battery status" lights
(see page 6).
The "
service
" light with the sign of a spanner underneath comes on
when the hoist is due for a service. This will flash orange and can be
reset by a service technician. This is to guarantee that the hoist is
and remains safe.
2.5 Battery
Two types of batteries are available. Lead (Pb) batteries and
Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) batteries. A Pb Battery comes standard with the
hoist.
Pb Batteries are cheaper to purchase and have the property that if
the battery is almost empty the hoist can still be used with the rest
of the electricity, whilst empty Li-ion batteries are completely
empty. Li-ion batteries have a life span of approximately 5 times
longer, are lighter, more environmentally friendly and can be left
unused for longer. The self-drainage is minimal.
(Art. No. Pb battery = 31101070, Li-Ion battery = 31101071)
The battery has a simple mounting mechanism. At the rear of the
battery is a handle with which you can lock and unlock the battery
on the Tilly basic. This is best done by pressing the battery handle
at the top during placement so that the lock is open when placed.
It is also possible to take a second battery with the lift to ensure a
full battery. A separate wall charger can also be supplied here
(32106680).
Always ensure that the battery is sufficiently charged
before you start using the Tilly.
