2 Description of the product
2.1 Adequate use
The vertical lift is used inside in industrial areas to lift and lower mobile
goods, mainly to load and unload shelves or vehicles.
It can only be used in connection with a carrier device (Cargo Master C-Sys-
tem, AMEISE trolley, Expresso dolliers or Sano stair climbers).
Please transport exclusively goods with the vertical lift.
To avoid injuries, please make sure that there is nobody standing under the
device, while you lift or lower goods. Also, never put your hand in the chain
guide.
FIn the interest of your safety you may not use the vertical lift on esca-
lators or moving belts!
FIt is prohibited to transport persons with the device!
FNever leave the vertical lift unattended.
FPlease avoid using the vertical lift in heavy rain, wet conditions,
snow or ice. Please make sure that the load (e.g. a washing machine)
does not leak water that could potentially get into contact with the
device. Dampness penetrating the vertical lift may lead to malfuncti-
on or breakdown of the device.
FPlease note that the vertical lift topples backward without a carrier
device!

3 First operation
FPlease charge the batteries completely before you use the device for
the first time.
FPlease note that the vertical lift topples backward without a carrier
device.
3.1 On-/Off switch
Before operating, please turn on the vertical lift with the On-/Off switch .
Then put the blade into its lowest position by using the Up/Down switch.
FTurn off the vertical lift when you take a break, during transportation
or when you park the vertical lift.
3.2 Foldable blade
Please put the blade into a vertical position before you use the device for
the first time.
Pull and turn the locking bolt to 90°. The blade is unlocked and you can fold
it down. Bring the blade into a horizontal position and fix it by pulling and
turning the locking bolt once again.
FPlease make sure that the blade is securely locked in this position.
If you do not need the vertical lift any more you can fold the blade upward
again so that the device can be stored or transported in a tight place (see pic-
ture).
To fold the blade up again, please follow instructions in reverse order.
3.3 Foldable outriggers (optional)
Press the locking bolt and fold down the outriggers. They must be pressed
into the frame in a horizontal position. Please make sure that they are secu-
rely locked.
If you do not need the vertical lift any more you can fold up the blade and the
outriggers again. That way the device can be stored in a tight space, e.g. for
transportation (see picture).
Please fold up the device in reverse order.
Please put the blade in its highest position before folding it up. Loosen the
locking bolts and pull out the outriggers simultaneously until they are unlo-
cked. Then you can fold up the outriggers. Finally loosen the locking bolt for
the blade and fold it up as well.

3.4 Adjusting the vertical lift
Due to allowances it might be necessary to adjust the vertical lift to your car-
rier device. This is the case when the base plate of the vertical lift does not
rest on the base plate of the carrier device. In such case you need to move
the vertical lift’s handles.
In order to do this you need to remove the vertical lift from the carrier device
and loosen the handles’ screws so that you can easily move them. Hook the
vertical lift into the carrier device and set the handles on the carrier’s hori-
zontal bars. The two upper handles must lock .Mark the handles’ position
on the columns with a pencil. Remove the vertical lift again and fix the hand-
les with a screw in the marked position. Now check wether the vertical lift’s
toe plate sits on the carrier device’s toe plate when the vertical lift is hooked
in place on the carrier device.
3.5 Securing the vertical lift on the carrier device
First, please fold down the carrier device’s blade (if you have the foldable
version). Now put the vertical lift in front of the carrier device, centre it and
loosen the locking bolts at the two upper handles by pulling and turning
them. Now the handles are unlocked and hang down.
1. Stand behind the carrier device and pull the vertical lift as close as possi-
ble (if necessary, support the carrier device with your foot to keep it from rol-
ling away).
2. Lift up the vertical lift and pull it backwards simultaneously until the
handles sit on the carrier device’s horizontal bars.
3. Now tilt the carrier device slightly backward at its handles and push the
vertical lift forward with one hand. At this point the vertical lift slides
downward and locks in place on the carrier device at the handles.
FMake sure that all four handles are securely locked in the carrier
device’s horizontal bars.
Finally lock the vertical vertical lift’s locking bolts by turning its two upper
handles.
14

3.6 Removing the vertical lift
1. Stand behind the carrier device and loosen the locking bolts at the two up-
per handles by pulling and turning them. Now the handles are unlocked.
2. Hoist the vertical lift at its two bars until the handles are lifted out of the
carrier device’s horizontal bar.
3. Now the vertical lift can be pushed away from the carrier device.
3.7 Load pick-up
Push the load a bit backward so that there is a space. Move the blade under
the load and push it all the way onto the blade.
FPlease make sure that the load touches the back bar.
FPlease make sure that the maximum lifting capacity of 100 kg is not
exceeded.
3.8 Driving on level ground
To drive on level ground the load needs to be in the lowest position possible
in order to keep the centre of gravity as low as possible.
3.9 Driving on slopes
If you want to drive up a ramp, you must tilt the vertical lift.
Tip: Put your foot on the horizontal bar and tilt the device backwards.
