Operation
Operating the truck
Switching on the truck
• Ensure the tiller head is in the central position and disengage the emergency stop button.
• Insert the key into the key switch and turn clockwise from the zero position
to position “II” and hold for 3 seconds. The traction wheel will reset and the multi function
display unit will display the battery discharge status.
• The electrical system is switched on and the truck is ready for operation.
Switching o the truck
• Ensure the truck is at a complete stop.
• Turn the key anticlockwise to the zero position.
• Activate the emergency stop button.
• The electrical system is switched o and the brake is applied.
Driving
• The operator must familiarize themselves with the tiller head steering controls and

The traction paddles are used to accelerate the truck in a forward or reverse motion.
• To drive forward, the traction paddles are pressed upwards. When the traction paddles
are released the machine slows down to a standstill and the brakes are applied.
• To drive in reverse, the traction paddles are pressed downwards. When the traction
paddles are released the machine slows down to a standstill and the brakes are applied.
• The speed of the truck depends on set position of the speed control switch and if the
operators platform is in use.
Operating speeds
The truck has 3 operating speeds:
• Creeper mode under 1 kph: Engaged when the hi tip function is activated.
• Walking mode under 4 kph: Engaged when the operators platform is in the raised
position.
• Full mode 7 kph: Engaged when the operators platform is in the lowered position.
• The operator can also manually select the slower or faster speed using the speed switch
located on the tiller head.

operation of the truck. The operator can check the status of the battery by viewing the multi
function display (g 1). The display is located on the dashboard.
�The battery’s discharge status is shown on the display and is also indicated by the row of 5
LED’s situated below the display.
�As the battery capacity decreases, the digital display shows the BDI status from 100% to 0%.
Simultaneously the 5 LEDs turn o one after the other as the battery discharges.
�When the battery becomes critically low the truck will default to limp mode.
The operator must navigate the truck to the nearest charge point and recharge the battery
fully before continuing with work duties.
It is recommended to recharge the battery when the residual battery capacity is reading less
than 10% on the digital display.
BDI percentage:
�BDI percentage 90% and above - All 5 LEDs illuminated.
�BDI percentage between 70% and 90% - First 4 LEDs illuminated.
�BDI percentage between 50% and 70% = First 3 LEDs illuminated.
�BDI percentage between 30% and 50% = rst 2 LEDs illuminated.
�BDI percentage between 10% and 30% = First LED illuminated.

Transportation
Transporting the truck
The Ecovolve ED1000 is easily transportable. It is comparatively lightweight for its capacity and
can
be loaded on to a vehicle with a load rating of 1300 kg minimum. The operator’s platform
can be raised up and the safety rails can be lowered down for ease of transportation.
• Use suitable ramps with an adequate loading capacity.
• Clean the truck to reduce the hazard of dirt and debris falling from the machine during
transport.
• Conrm the transport vehicle is suitable for the transport task and that it is rated to carry a
mass of 1300 Kg or 2866 lbs.
• Move the truck slowly and follow directions from people assisting with the loading and
alignment of the machine onto the transport vehicle.
• Secure the truck to the transport vehicle using only the machines anchor points as
described in the next section.
• Conrm that the lifting device has adequate lifting capacity and reach to perform the lifting
operation.
• Clean the truck to reduce the hazard of dirt and debris falling from the machine during
transport.
• Use only the lifting points as described in the next section to lift the truck onto a suitable
transport vehicle.
Keep clear when lifting the truck onto the transport
vehicle.
DANGER
When LIFTING the truck onto a suitable transporter
ensure that the following points are adhered to.
WARNING

Transportation
Lifting and anchor points
�The truck is equipped with two lifting eyes and ve anchor
points which are used in conjunction
with straps or chains to lift and also to secure the
machine to the transport vehicle.
�Use certied slings and chains to lift and secure the truck during transport.
�
The assigned lifting eyes and anchor points must
be used with approved straps or
chains. The

Lifting
�The two lifting eyes are designed so that the truck
can be lifted safely to a suitable transport
vehicle (g 1 and g 2).
�When using the lifting eyes it is advised to
use a ‘D’ shackle to connect them. This will povide
an
easier and more secure connection for the chain hooks
when lifting the truck.
Anchor
�The ve tie down points on the truck are designed to
anchor the truck to the transport vehicle
while in transit (g 3, 4, 5 and g 6).
The anchor points are
