2.5.1 Charging the Battery
Batteries are charged with the internal battery charger in the
control box.
To know if the battery needs to be charged, there is a battery
indicator on the control box.
Battery full – hoist can be used.
Battery half full - hoist can be used. Charge the
battery after use.
Battery empty – hoist must be charged.
Charge the battery according to the following procedure:
•
Place the battery on the Control box.
•
Turn off the emergency stop (switch on the hoist).
The green “
ON
” light is on
•
Connect the power cord to the mains.
The orange “
CHARGE
” lamp lights up
•
The charge lamp lights up during charging.
•
When the battery is fully charged, the "charge" light
will go out.
•
Allow for a charging time of approx. 8 hours.
It is recommended to charge the batteries at least once a week. Li-
Ion batteries can be left unused for longer, but these batteries can
also be charged regularly.
Regular charging of the battery prevents problems and
extends the life of the battery.
2.5.2 Battery Life
The number of lifting movements that can be made with a fully
charged battery depends on the duration of the lifting operations,
the lifted weight, the age and condition of the battery.
A battery that is not used for a longer period of time will slowly
drain. Li-ion batteries can be left unused for longer than Pb
batteries. It is recommended to load both types once a week.
Excessive discharge of the battery is detrimental to the capacity of
the battery.
Li-Ion batteries last longer than Pb batteries. With extensive use,
the Li-ion can last up to 4 to 5 times longer. Aging and not charging
regularly is detrimental to the service life. The strength and loading
behavior of both is the same.
To prevent problems, it is advisable to replace the Pb battery every
two years. And Li-ion to replace every 7 years.
2.6 Lift Motor
The engine is a strong and robust engine with a very low noise
level. It is equipped with an emergency lower button on the top. By
turning the knob you can lower the lifting arm down when the hoist
stops working.
The motor is equipped with a ball screw, internal limit switches and
electrical splines. Electric splines means that the engine will stop
when it descends if something (for example, shoulders) gets caught
under the lift arm.
The motor is connected to the control box (fig.1, page 5). A manual
control is connected to the control box for control.
2.7 Chassis
The legs of the frame are infinitely adjustable in width. The legs are
spread electrically and are operated with the hand control.
Make sure there is enough space to spread the legs. If the
legs get stuck, this can damage the hoist or its
environment.
Transfer as much as possible with legs in the narrowest position.
2.7.1 Wheels
The Tilly has four castors, the rear wheels of which have a brake.
The rear wheels brake the wheel in the rolling and in the direction
of rotation.
The wheels have a very low rolling resistance due to the fully ball-
bearing pivot points.
Moving the hoist from a standstill requires the least force if the
wheels of the chassis are already in line with the direction of travel.
