GOOD WORKING ENVIRONMENT
Transporters are designed to ergonomically assist in material handling operations. By using the
Transporter, the prevention or elimination of injuries as well as the creation of safer working
conditions for personnel will occur. People that already suffer from injuries or have suffered
injuries will find that the Transporter will enhance productivity.

Hermann Schmidt®- Model: TRANSP

OPERATIONAL SAFETY
The ergonomic design of the Transporter is by itself an active factor of operational safety. Other
factors of security and technical features are as follows:
The movement of the load platform will stop should an object be placed in-between the lift frame
and the load platform or if other jamming occurs.
The Transporter cannot be overloaded since it will automatically stop the lifting function if loaded
with more than the maximum load limit that is factory set.
A simple and easily operated foot activated system is installed for central wheel locking of the
rear casters along with providing a directional wheel lock.
The Transporter is easy to use in confined spaces and aisle ways due to its compact outside
dimensions and large caster wheels. Both rear caster wheels have a directional lock, which makes
maneuvering the Transporter simple.
The handlebar is designed to protect the operator's hands while maneuvering the Transporter.
SERVICE
The service is easy. Modular parts, electronics and batteries are easily accessible for replacement.
This manual includes a spare parts list with drawings.
RECYCLABLE

3. Operating instructions
3.1 Operating
In order to prevent and avoid work injuries it is important that the Transporter be operated in a proper
manner.
3.1.1 Charging
NOTE: DO NOT OPERATE TRANSPORTER WHEN CHARGING BATTERIES
Gel-Cell batteries cannot withstand total discharging and need to be recharged after use. The
battery charger supplied with the Transporter connects to an ordinary electrical wall outlet and allows
for recharging the batteries.
When the battery charger is connected to the Transporter and plugged into the wall outlet, both
the green and the red lights come on simultaneously. After a few seconds the red light stays on,
showing that the charging procedure is taking place. When the batteries are about fully charged
the yellow light goes on which gives the battery a “Balancing Charge” to top off the charge cycle.
Generally, the Charge State reached at the “Balancing Charge” is 80%-95% of total charge capacity
of the battery. The green light indicates that the battery is fully charged.
Note: The battery chargers will not over charge the batteries. The electronic card used on the
Transporter will not allow for total discharge of the batteries. Continuous Transporter use will not hurt
the batteries.
Red lamp = Charger is connected to power supply and charging battery.
Yellow lamp = Balancing Charge-Charging battery at 2.7 Amp.
Green lamp = Battery fully charged
The batteries will not leak and are maintenance free.
When the display on the voltmeter flashes the batteries need to be recharged. The power pack
must be switched on for two full minutes after finishing charge cycle for the display on the
voltmeter to indicate charge level.
The Transporter should be recharged every night, over weekends, holidays and after prolonged
periods without use, or the batteries will lose the capability of being recharged. This will ensure that
the batteries can achieve a maximum charge and that they will handle the lifts required during the
working day.

Hermann Schmidt®- Model: TRANSP

3.1.2 Handlebar
The height of the handlebar can easily be adjusted by loosening the quick disconnect handles
and sliding the handlebar to the desired position. After adjustment, tighten the quick disconnect
handles. To obtain the best working conditions it is important to adjust the handle to a
comfortable level. During movement of the Transporter, always keep hands inside the handle. This
will protect the hands if the handlebar should encounter an obstacle.
3.1.3 Lifting
Important!
The maximum lift capacity is limited to weights as noted on page 3
The Transporter is not to be used for personnel transportation.
Place your Transporter in the working area. Make sure to always apply the brake before loading or
unloading the end-effector. To apply the brakes, push the red brake bar forward to its bottom position.
Be certain that the end-effector is placed on the same level as the object being loaded. To adjust the
elevation of the end-effector, use the buttons on the remote control pendant. The remote control
pendant has arrows to show the direction of operation.
Place the load on the end-effector. The load should always be positioned centrally in order to
obtain the best stability possible. The load should be placed at the center and back of the end-
effector.
When loading different items raise/lower the end-effector to the correct elevation, making it easy to
push or pull the items on or off the end-effector.
The remote control pendant can rest on the handle or be held in the hand in the best position
to observe the movement of the end-effector. The remote control holder with keyhole slot is mounted
on the handlebar and can be easily adjusted. Turn the quick release handle loosening the holder,
adjust to the desired angle or position and retighten the quick release handle to lock it in place.
3.1.4 Transport
The end-effector should always to be lowered to the lowest possible position before
moving the Transporter. Unlock the central brake by positioning the red bar in the middle position.
All four wheels can now swivel in any direction.
Directional wheel locks
When moving a heavy load, it is both easier and safer if you use the directional wheel locks by
moving the red bar into the upper position. Both back wheels are now locked in a straightforward
position. This gives greater directional stability when moving heavy loads. Observe that it is
especially important that a heavy load be kept as low and as centered on the end-effector as
possible.

3.3 Maintenance
Regular maintenance is important to protect the continued use of the Transporter.
Daily maintenance
1. If the Transporter is fitted with a scale - make sure that power to the scale is off when not in use.
2. Wipe down the Transporter with a detergent suitable for powder coat surfaces, aluminum and
stainless steel. Follow the instructions on the detergent. Wipe the Transporter dry.
Do not use a high-pressure hose. It could damage both the electronics as well as the chassis.
3. The batteries are to be charged every night or when the Transporter is not being used for a long period of
time.
The Batteries cannot be "over charged".
Every 6 month maintenance
1. Electrical connections: Check all connections and have any items that show wear or damage
repaired. Replace if needed.
2. Bolts and screws: Check that all bolts and screws are tight.
3. Lift mast: Take the mast out of the base frame. Wipe it clean and lubricate it with ball bearing
grease. When the mast is out of the intermediate section the bristles in the mast are to be taken
out from the bottom of the mast and cleaned. At the same time the screw can be lubricated with
ball bearing grease. Assemble the mast, see 2.1 Assembly, and check that the end-effector is
operating properly.
4. Wheels: Check that all wheels run smoothly and lubricate the ball bearings regularly. Check
that the wheel rubber is not worn or damaged.
5. Central brake system: Check that all brake positions are operating properly:
•Rear wheels locked (brake rod is in lower (horizontal) position)
•Neutral, casters are unlocked (brake rod is in middle position)
•Directional lock engaged (brake rod is in the upper (vertical) position)
6. Quick disconnect handle for handlebar and the mounting bracket for remote control: Check
that the quick disconnect handles can be loosened and tightened properly.
7. Identification and warning signs: Check that the signs are well attached and can be read. They are
mounted for your safety.
8. If the Transporter is fitted with the optional scale, check that the scale is calibrated. If the scale does not
show the correct figures, 0.00, after zeroing "TARA" (Tare).
