5. Intended application
5.1 Area of application
The BENOMIC S has been designed for use in the greenhouse horticulture sector.
The machine may only be operated by one person with a minimum age of 18 years who
has received thorough instruction in the operation of the BENOMIC S and who is already
familiar with the safety instructions and this handbook, both of which they have fully
understood.
The BENOMIC S is a pipe rail trolley, which runs on a pipe rail system that meets the
minimum requirements of paragraph 7.3 and is intended as an aid in harvesting, caring for
and/or maintaining the crops in a greenhouse. Use of the BENOMIC S for any other
purposes is strictly forbidden. The maximum loading may consist of one person plus a
secured load which together should not exceed 250 kg in weight*. The trolley may only be
operated once it has been correctly installed on the pipe rail system. Pay extra attention
when the scissor mechanism is descending ensuring that no people or objects can
become trapped under or between the scissor mechanism. The platform may not be
entered while the machine is on the concrete path. Always walk alongside the machine,
therefore not on the chassis when transporting it over the main path.
* Stability tests have shown that with unfavourable combinations of tube type and the
support distance of the pipe rail system, constraints must be applied for the maximum
permissible load. See 10.1 Explanation of the technical specifications.
5.1.1 Physical operating conditions
Ambient temperature;
Transport & Storage : 5 to +40 degrees Celsius
Working : 5 to +40 degrees Celsius
Rel. Humidity (RH) : 0% to 90%, not condensing
Lighting : Normal ambient lighting.
The machine is not designed to be used outdoors.
The machine is not suitable for operating in explosive atmospheres.

6. Transportation
6.1 External transport
When the BENOMIC S has to be transported, please do as follows:
1. Close the scissor mechanism fully.
2. Retract the lift wheels so that the trolley stands on the flanged rollers.
3. Set the speed regulator to speed 0.
4. Switch off the BENOMIC S via the main switch (rotate the top of the red key to the
horizontal position).
5. Secure the BENOMIC S properly so that it cannot move about, roll forward or tilt
over.
6. Ensure that the BENOMIC S remains dry and frost-free during transportation.
7. When arriving at its destination, the BENOMIC S should be set up in accordance
with the points described at chapter 7.1.
6.2 Internal transport
It is also possible to transport the BENOMIC S internally (in the greenhouse). It is
preferred that the trolley is moved on the flange rollers and lift wheels (see 8.2), but it can
also be moved by forklift truck for example. Moving with a forklift truck is done as follows:
1. Close the scissor mechanism fully.
2. Retract the lift wheels so that the trolley stands on the flanged rollers.
3. Switch off the BENOMIC S via the main switch (rotate the red key to a horizontal
position).
4. Put the forklift truck forks as far apart as possible then push them under the trolley
as far as possible.
5. Check the other side to see whether the forks stick out and are positioned at the
centre of the BENOMIC S
6. Secure the BENOMIC S to the elongation of the forks on the forklift truck so that
the trolley cannot move or slide off.
