handled.
• The lifting device must be adapted to the shape and dimensions of the load.
• Always try to position the load in the centre of the platform/lifting device to avoid in-
stability. Furthermore, avoid having loads that protrude outside the platform/lifting de-
vice, and always ensure that the load is stable on the trolley, and if required, strapped in
place. Allow for the risk that the load may start to move, or collapse.
• Use safe and adequate lifting devices when moving loads to and from the lifting trol-
ley. Pay particular attention when handling heavy goods, and goods with dangerous
contents.
• The lifting trolley must undergo preventive maintenance on a regular basis for the
purpose of avoiding accidents.
• It is prohibited for people to be on the platform/lifting device.
• When the lifting trolley is left unattended, ensure that the wheel brakes are applied, so
as to avoid unintentional movement. The brakes must also be applied if this is required
by the current work task.
• Take care when handling freely suspended loads.
• Do not use the lifting trolley as a jack for vehicle lifting for example.
• The lifting trolley must not come into direct contact with foodstuffs.
• Do not use the lifting trolley in potentially explosive environments.
• When using in public environments, particularly where children can reach the wor-
king area of the machine, the operator must take adequate measures to prevent people
from entering the risk zone, for example, by cordoning off the work area, or by fitting
the machine with a guard. We recommend that a risk analysis is prepared based on the
Machinery Directive for the relevant working situation.
• A load must not be present on the platform/lifting device during inspections, service
and repairs.
• The lifting trolley's drive unit is located beneath protective housing. This may only be
removed by personnel sufficiently qualified to carry out inspections, service, and re-
pairs.
• Only Hallins original spare parts may be used when replacing parts. Failure to observe
this may nullify the warranty obligation in full.
• The motor housing and certain other components are made of plastic. They must not
be exposed to flames or corrosive chemicals.
• Observe crushing risk between the platform/lifting device and supporting legs, and
between platform/lifting device and mast.

6 USAGE

In order to utilise the qualities of the lifting trolley to the greatest effect and to prevent
injury, it is vital that you read through these instructions carefully and that you use the
trolley in the correct way.
See Section 5, "Safe use", with respect to safe conditions and risks when handling
the machine and its load!

6.1 Transportation

When the lifting trolley is not being used for moving, the brakes on the two wheels that
have brakes must always be applied. The platform/lifting device must always be in its
lowest position when transporting goods with the lifting trolley.
Never transport goods when the load bed is in raised position.

6.2 Operating the platform/lifting device

The main switch must be ON in order to operate the platform/lifting device,
tion 1.
Operating then takes place using the control unit (UP/DOWN),
Remember to always have full supervision of the machine and all parts of the load
when operating.

6.3 What to do when you have finished using the lifting trolley

The lifting trolley may be left with the platform/lifting device in raised position fol-
lowing a completed work task, providing this does not cause any undue inconvenience
or risks.
We recommend that the platform/lifting device is lowered as a rule to bottom
position following completed work task.
Switch off the main switch and ensure that there is no unauthorised use.

7 BATTERY

7.1 Function

The batteries are maintenance-free and are not sensitive to being positioned upright or
horizontally.
Only use original batteries in order to eliminate any operational disturbances.

7.2 Battery charging

To ensure the longest service life possible for the batteries, they must be charged at
least once every 24 hours, e.g. during the night. The charging process starts immediately
after the plug is inserted in the socket. The battery cannot be overcharged as the charger
changes to maintenance charging when the battery is fully charged. If the lifting trolley
is not used for long periods of time, it should be connected to the electricity socket and
left on trickle charge.

7.3 Storage

As the lifting trolley contains batteries it is important how you store the trolley if the
machine is not to be used for a long time.
The battery discharges itself when the lifting trolley is not in use. An important and de-
cisive factor for the battery's service life is the temperature the battery is stored at. The
battery and the lifting trolley should always be stored in a dry area with an ambient
temperature as close as possible to +20°C.
The main switch must always be OFF when the lifting trolley is not being used.
