1. DESCRIPTION
1.1 OVERVIEW
LIFT-O-FLEX®lifters are ergonomically designed to simplify handling, lifting, and transportation of
goods. Each lifting unit can be equipped with different types of load carriers or attachments. The
goods to be handled are placed on the load carrier and adjusted to the desired height
by pressing the buttons on the hand-held remote control pendant. The lifter is powered by
rechargeable, sealed, lead acid batteries. The lift mast is totally enclosed and features a ball screw
for smooth vertical DC-powered movement.
1.2 OPTIONS
The LIFT-O-FLEX comes standard with a Powder-Coated Paint/Anodized finish. As an additional
option, the LIFT-O-FLEX is also available in Stainless Steel/Anodized finish.
An additional electronic power pack with quick exchange features is available to allow for multishift
use.
1.3 ATTACHMENTS
Standard attachments for the LIFT-O-FLEX include a load platform, with or without a stationary or
rotating V-Block, a fixed core probe, an Expand-O-Turn, and Squeeze-O-Turn. Custom applications
are also available upon request.

2. SAFETY
2.1 BUILT-IN FEATURES
The ergonomic design of the LIFT-O-FLEX is, in itself, an active factor of operational safety. The
rear casters are equipped with pedal-activated brakes and the handle bar adjusts vertically to
provide optimal ergonomic positioning for the operator. The lift mast contains a slip clutch;if
anything gets in the way of the downward movement of the attachment, the slip clutch engages
to help prevent injuries as well as mechanical damage to the lifter. We have also incorporated
current limiting to prevent overloading beyond the rated capacity for the unit.
2.2 STORAGE AND TRANSPORT
During storage and transport, the remote control pendant and motor cable should be
disconnected. The lifter should be secured during transport to avoid the risk of tipping over.
2.3 MOVEMENT
The load carrier should always be lowered as low as possible to ensure safe and stable
handling. Use caution when passing thresholds, cords, and other objects on the floor. The
handle bar should be gripped in a way so that the hands are not hurt when passing edges,
walls, or protruding objects. The movement of heavy loads can be easier when using the
directional lock (details listed under 5.5 Brake System).
2.4 LOADING AND UNLOADING
The user is responsible for ensuring that the lifter is loaded correctly.
Always apply the brakes when loading and unloading.
The center of gravity of the goods should always be centered on the load carrier and positioned
as close to the lift mast as possible for maximum stability.
The load carrier should be positioned at the correct height before loading and unloading
to allow a good working position. The load should be pushed or pulled on or off of the load
carrier.

1) Before assembling the frame, the rear casters on each leg (three position-see example on next page);
should be locked in the directional lock mode. This is accomplished with the brake rod (4). Insert
one end of the rod into the hole located on the caster holder and turn it so the wheel is
directionally locked and is in the proper position. (Do this on both legs).
Place the upper intermediate section (2) and the lower intermediate section (3) on edge. The upper
intermediate section has the mast slide located on the center and should be placed facing the front
casters. The lower intermediate section has the lift motor attached and should be placed so that the
(2) screws that attach the lift mast to the lower intermediate section face the front casters. Take one
of the legs (1) (the hex hole for the brake rod should face down) and mount it with the enclosed bolts
(6) 8 pcs. Screw it in place (do not tighten). Turn the intermediate sections with one leg attached over
and mount the opposite leg. Insert the brake rod (4) into the hex holes in the proper position before
attaching the leg with the bolts. (do not tighten). The brake rod (4) should be pointed up and
perpendicular to the legs.
Place the frame on its wheels on a level floor. Put pressure on the legs so that each wheel has contact
with the floor. Now, tighten all the bolts in place.

4.1 ASSEMBLY
Assembly Instructions
The lifter is normally delivered disassembled in modules or partially assembled in order to minimize freight
costs. When the lifter is delivered disassembled, each module comes separate with required screws and
tools, etc. When the lifting device is delivered partially assembled, the frame will be together and the
components such as masts, power pack and handle will need to be mounted to the frame.

Remove the 3 screws (9) which are on the lower intermediate section and loosen the 4 nuts (10)
on both sides of the intermediate section.
Make sure the yellow plastic coupling on the motor is still in place on the gear reducer.
Rotate the primary mast so the coupling is pointing down. Move the mast slide all the way to its bottom
position. Note: The slide can travel down at a high rate of speed should it be on the opposite end when
rotating the mast for placement! The slide should be in the lowest position when mounting the mast.
Insert the mast over the guide rails on the upper intermediate section and push the mast down in order
for the fastening plate to cover the lower intermediate section. Make sure the coupling on the lift mast
and motor are properly mated together or the lower bolts cannot be installed. Installing the slave mast is
the same as the primary except for aligning coupling to lift motor which is not required. Also, attach the
top mast bracket prior to installing end-effector.
Fasten the first 3 bolts (9), this will automatically center the mast. Next, tighten the 4 bolts (10) on the
guide rails in the upper intermediate section.
The end-effector can now be mounted with its 2 bolts (11).
Should you have an accessory which requires electricity this is to be connected to the power pack (5) into
the same outlet as the battery charger. While charging, these accessories will have to be disconnected.
After charging remember to reconnect the plug for the accessory.

Disposal after useful life
When the lifter has provided many years of use and is ready to be disposed of, it should be recycled. The
LIFT-O-FLEXlifter is manufactured with materials that are recyclable. We have also selected recyclable gel-
cell batteries over nickel-cadmium batteries for this purpose.
5. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
5.1 USING THE LIFTER
In order to prevent and avoid work injuries, it is important that the LIFT-O-FLEX is operated in
a proper manner.
Please note, if a load remains on the lifter for some time, it may be necessary to lower the load
before it can be raised.

5.2 ADJUSTING THE HANDLEBAR
The height of the handlebar can easily be adjusted by loosening the quick disconnect
knobs and sliding the handlebar to the desired position. After adjustment, tighten the
quick disconnect knobs. To obtain the best working conditions, it is important to adjust the
handle to a comfortable level. During movement of the lifter, always keep your hands inside
the handlebar. This will protect the hands in the event the handlebar should encounter an
obstacle. Never put arms through the handlebar to reach something on the load carrier, as
this may pose a crush hazard.
5.3 POWER PACK
Modifying the power pack is dangerous. This device may not be sealed in any way. It should
not be exposed to splashed or running water.
5.4 REMOTE CONTROL
The load carrier is raised and lowered by pressing the buttons on the hand-held remote
control pendant. The remote control has either two or four buttons and is used as
shown below.
Up/down Up/down
Slowly up/down
14 | U SER MANUA LDO C UMENT I D: 0 6212017

The remote control should be placed to allow the user to easily press the buttons. The bracket
for the remote control is fitted to the handlebar. The bracket can easily be moved by turning
the black knob counter-clockwise. The bracket can be locked in any position on the handle by
turning the knob clockwise. The bracket can be tilted to any angle on the handlebar. The
remote control can be removed from the bracket.
5.5 BRAKE SYSTEM
On lifters equipped with a central brake, the brake is applied by moving the brake bar to its
lowest position.
On lifters equipped with a central brake, the directional lock is activated by moving the brake
bar to its highest position. This locks the rear wheels in a position that only allows the lifter to
move straight forward or backward.
On lifters with individually-braked wheels, the brakes are applied by pressing down the lever
on each wheel separately.
6. MAINTENANCE
6.1 GUIDELINES
In order for the lifter to function properly, it is important that maintenance is carried out in
accordance with what is described below. The stated service intervals are applicable during
normal use and charging once a day. Further use requires more frequent service intervals.
After disassembly or assembly of the column or load carrier, a load test should be
performed.

LIF T-O -F LEX 19500S | 15

6.2EVERYDAY
Charging
Only chargers supplied or approved by RonI may be used.
The charger must not be exposed to water.
The lifter must be in a well-ventilated area when it is being charged.
Always connect the charger to the lifter before connecting to the main power.
Do not operate the device while charging.
The batteries should be recharged every night. In order to avoid complete discharge, which
damages the batteries, the batteries should also be charged when the lifter is not used for an
extended period of time, e.g. during weekends and holidays.
When the battery charger is connected to the lifter and has power, there is a yellow/orange
light on the charger, indicating ongoing charging. When the batteries are fully charged the light
is green. The lifter can remain connected to the charger indefinitely without risk of overcharg-
ing, preferably until next use.
For lifters with a power pack equipped with a voltage indicator, a flashing bar on the voltage
indicator means that the batteries need charging. If the lifter is left unused for 10 minutes,
sleep mode is activated and the voltage indicator turns black. The lifter can be restarted by
pressing any button on the remote control. When the lifter is restarted from sleep mode after
charging, it takes two minutes before the voltage indicator shows if the batteries are fully
charged.
