4. Safety, Maintenance and Service Instructions
4.1 Warning Signals
Do not use the lift while it is plugged into an outlet.
Do not use device as a passenger lift! Do not stand underneath the raised platform.
When in motion, lower the load so that it is level with the “moving position” sticker on the side of
the mast.
When the lifting hook attachment is in the highest position, movement is limited to approximately
one meter for position the lifting device under the designated Pall hardware.
WARNING! Risk of hands and feet getting caught in machine! Do not stand on or rest your feet
on the legs or battery casing. Do not put hands or ngers on the mast or close to the sleigh or
chain as this poses risk of getting caught!
Stay clear of the indicated area at all times! Make sure the area underneath the lifting hook
attachment is always completely clear. If the lifting hook attachment gets caught on an object
during descent there is a risk of the lifting device tipping over.
The lifting device is meant to be used during a normal work shift (1 shift) and re-charged during
off hours (normally night time). Always charge minimum 8 hours consecutively. There is no risk
of the battery overcharging.
4.2 Safety
1. The lifting device is designed for indoor use only; use on a smooth, even oor/surface. Use
caution when passing over thresholds, oor drains, hoses or cables to prevent risk of the
lifting device tipping over.
2. Never spray or pour water onto the casing containing the battery, charger and motor.
Clean with a damp cloth only. IPA (70%) is safe to use for cleaning the lifting device.
3. Recharge in a designated dry area.
4. Always apply the brakes when moving the lifting hook attachment up and down.
5. NEVER exceed the indicated maximum load capacity. The limit indicated on the lifting hook
attachment must always be followed. The maximum load capacity is stated for the maximum
centered weight of the load positioned at the maximum distance from the mast.
6. Make sure to have the brakes on when using the lift to pick up and lower goods. Not using
the brakes may cause the lifting device to tilt backwards and consequently causing the
operator serious injuries or death.
7. Load must never be forced downward when hitting a surface. Doing so may cause the lifting
device to tip onto the operator, causing body injuries.
8. Use the lifting device only in accordance with all instructions in this manual. Keep this manual
accessible to all staff. This appliance is not intended for use by people with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety.
9. Use only original spare parts. See Chapter 18, Appendix 3: Spare parts list.

11. Always follow any local/national recommendations as well as the instructions in this manual.
In some countries the inspection of lifting equipment by a third party, after installation and
then on a yearly basis, is mandatory. Check the regulations in your country.
5. Important Information

5.1 Product Description
This lifting device is used to transport powder handling bags. The lifting device is equipped with
a battery driven handling tool that allows goods to be raised and lowered. The user moves the
lifting device by pushing it, and prevents it from moving when stationary with the aid of brakes.
To charge the battery, the lifting device is connected to an electrical outlet (100-240 V). The
battery is fully charged after 8 hours. The lifting device can be plugged in for a longer period,
since it cannot be overcharged.
