different battery types, LifePo4 Lithium batteries
orVRLA AGM batteries. Both battery types are
maintenance free and need charging regularly to
function properly. Aways disconnect battery from
electronics unit when storing.
When the battery are at storage, it will always slowly
lose it´s charge over time.
The self-discharge in the battery is low.
VRLA AGM batteries:
The recommended storage temperature is
20-25°C (68-77°F).The storage time must not exceed
12 months without charging.This is applicable to fully
charged batteries. Empty batteries put in storage will
degrade in months.
Temperature Maximum storage time
before charging
20-25°C (68-77°F) 12 month
30°C (86°F) 8 month
40°C (104°F) 4 month
LiFePO4 batteries:
Store at 50-80%state of charge. The self-discharge in
the battery is very low, about 2% per month with a
temperature 0-60°C (32 to 140°F).
3.2 Disassembly, scrappingand disposal
Disassemble the lift trolley, refer to chapter 4.1
“Unpacking and inspection”. Use the assemble instruc-
tions in reverse order
When the lift trolley is due for scrapping the machine,
complete with batteries, it should be handed in to a
recycling center or to your supplier. Follow local regu-
lations to ensure reuse and safe handling of all parts.
3.3 Transportation
If the cart is fully assembled, it must stand up during
transport/shipping.The hand control and motor cable
should be disconnected.

4.3.3Testing the safety coupling
The safety coupling prevents personal injury and
equipment damage when lowering the platform.
The safety coupling is released when the load
carrier reaches its lowest position or when
encountering an obstacle in its downwards
traveling path.
Test the safety coupling in the lowest position.
• If necessary, raise the load carrier by pushing the
lever on the hand control upwards.
• Release the lever to stop motion.
• Lower the load carrier, by pushing the lever on the
hand control downwards.When the load carrier
reaches its lowest position, the safety coupling is
released, and movement stops.
• Release the lever to stop motion.
4.4 Static load test
When column been mounted/remounted perform the
static load test. Drive the load carrier to the middle
of the column and apply the load with 1.25 x the
maximum load. The trolley should hold the load.
Conclude this test with visual damage inspection.
5 User instructions
5.1 Battery charge
To read out the actual battery voltage (V) use the
buttons beside the display. Press“Enter”>
“System info”. Line one will show xx% xx,xV.
The main menu of the display shows the state of
charge of the battery unit.
A fully charged battery is indicated by a full
battery symbol.When the battery charge runs out
during use, the symbol shows the degree of discharge.
For accurate state of charge LiFePo4 batteries should
be fully charged when re-installed on the lift trolley.
When it’s time to charge or replace the battery unit the
symbol shows empty. It is no longer
possible to raise the load carrier.This is to prevent
the batteries from getting damaged by extensive
discharges. It is still possible to lower the load carrier.
(If the display doesn’t light up raise and low the load
carrier or remove and replace the battery unit. Refer to
chapter 5.7“ Raising and lowering the load carrieror”
or chapter 5.2“Remove the battery unit from trolley”.)
The vertical movement of the load carrier is
operated by the hand control. Control both
direction and speed with the lever on the hand control.
1. Engage the central brake.
2. A slight push on the lever gives low stepless speed.
A hard push on the lever gives high stepless speed.
Release the lever to stop motion.
3.When the lever is pushed upwards the load
carrier is raised.When the lever is pushed
downwards the load carrier is lowered.
