1•SAFETY&IMPORTANTINFORMATION
WARNING
• Before operating a lifter, this manual must be read and understood.
• NEVER exceed the indicated max load capacity on the lifter or on a tool.
• Make sure loads are distributed evenly under the tool.
• Stay clear of the area underneath the TAWI Mobile Order Picker Compact at all times.
• Stay clear of all moving parts.
• Stay clear of the area underneath the unit when changing between park and transport mode.
• When the pump is switched o, the articulating arm must be attached to the safety lock.
• In order to deal with the lifter’s cables and wiring, a good knowledge of electricity and TAWI Mobile
Order Picker Compact electrical schematics is required. Faults can cause damage to people and
property.
• NEVER hang in the lifter.
• NEVER climb on the lifter.
• NEVER stand on the cover or any other part of the unit.
• If any unexpected movement of the lifter occurs, or in case of emergency, engage the emergency
stop. See Control panel on page 19.
• Make sure to control and solve any potential errors before resetting the emergency stop.
Caution
• The lifter is made for indoor use on an even oor/surface. Use caution when passing over
thresholds, oor drains, hoses or cables.
• Make sure the work light is switched on when operating the lifter in poor lightning.
• Keep clean. Never spray or pour water onto the casing containing the battery, the vacuum pump or
electrical cables. Clean with a damp cloth only.
• Any part of the lifter or accessories that show signs of wear or other damage must be replaced
immediately. The lifter must not be used before the damaged part is replaced. A damaged power
cord may only be replaced by TAWI authorised service technicians.
• Only run the lifter when it is completely assembled.
• Wear steel toe shoes with good grip when operating the lifter.
• The recommended temperature range for the lifters is 10 - 50 degrees Celsius (50 - 122 degrees
Fahrenheit). The lifting performance may vary when the temperature deviates from 20 degrees
Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit).
• Recharge the battery in a designated dry area.

SAFETY&IMPORTANTINFORMATION•1
07
Important
• To prevent damages and injuries caused by improper use, and not to compromise the warranty and
liability: Follow the instructions in this manual at all times!
• Use the TAWI Mobile Order Picker Compact or accessories only in accordance with all instructions in
this manual.
• Keep this manual accessible to all sta.
• Always follow any local/national recommendations as well as the instructions in this manual.
• The lifter is certied as a unit together with a specic tool. If the tool is changed, this must be
checked with TAWI. If a tool is used that is not authorised by TAWI, a new nal certication of the
complete lifter must be implemented.
• The lifter is not intended for use by persons (including children) 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. Children
should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the lifters.
• Use only TAWI original spare parts.
• The lifter and accessories should only be used when they are in perfect working order.
• The lifter’s max load capacity has been tested with 10% dynamic overload and 25% static overload.
• If the lifter is to be out of use for a long period, ensure that the battery is maintained (not drained).
• Emission sound pressure level: <70 dB (A).
• Unit can be operated with charger plugged in. Note that the charger will not generate enough
power only to run the unit.
• Continuous duty cycle
• Unit is equipped wit foot safety switch, to prevent one from lowering the full load of the unit on feet
when changing from parking to transport mode. When foot safety switch is engaged the unit will be
turned o instantly.
• Unit is equipped with a safety function which will turn pump o, if unit is elevated with truck/pallet
jack during pump is running. As soon as stabiliser legs are put back onto rm ground the pump will
restart.

3 • OVERVIEW
3 Overview
TAWI Mobile Order Picker Compact is a mobile lifter that provides lifting and transportation aid for loads
up to 35 kg (80 lbs) by using vacuum. TAWI Mobile Order Picker Compact can be picked up and moved
with any kind of forklift or fork truck. An articulating arm enables the user to reach far into pallet racks,
shelves or conveyors.
The lifter can be equipped with dierent tools and accessories depending on the user’s need. This
chapter presents an overview description and illustration of the lifter, a table containing characteristics
of the TAWI Mobile Order Picker Compact, and an illustration of the center of gravity.

This chapter presents how to fasten tools and equipment and install the TAWI Mobile Order Picker
Compact lifter before rst use.
For more instructions see the movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppRlJmY7AC0
Unboxing instructions
1. Remove the transport bracket (a) from the end of the arm. The bolts (b) will be used to attach the
vacuum lifter to the end of the arm. Remove the bracket from the tower as shown in the picture.
Reinstall the bolt to the tower.

2. Connect the unit power connector (d) to
the Power pack connector (c) in order to
restore main supply power for the unit
and make it operational.
3. Remove the two top boards (e)
and any protecting padding
(f) from the pallet (g) on top of
the forks. When the unit is to
be unloaded from the pallet, or
elevated during service, the lifter
can either be lifted with a fork lift
or by fastening a strap around the
tower.
• The lifter must NOT be laid down. It could cause serious damage to the lifter, battery and the
pump.

Install suction foot
1. Fit the suction foot or quick change
attachment with two or four M6
(VM30-VM40) directly to the suction head.
Use a torque between 2-3 Nm for the bolts.
• Make sure to use the correct torque for the bolts when installing the suction foot. Do not over- or
undertighten. Air leakage may occur otherwise, reducing lifting capacity.
• Tools that will t TAWI Mobile Order Picker Compct is VM30 and VM40.

4 • QUICK START
• The lifter must only operate within the restricted working area. Failure to do so may cause the unit
to tip and cause bodily injuries.
• Position the lifter so that the articulating arm can move freely within the permitted working area
and thus not be subject to a collision risk.
Working area
The grey area of the illustration below shows the permitted work area of the articulating arm.
There is an option to retrot a work area limiter that facilitates operations when the movement of the
articulating arm can be restricted.
