Operating Instructions - ENGLISH
3.16.- For transportation it is necessary to retract all profi les and lock them with the
corresponding safety lock.
4. - OPERATION.
4.1.- Place the tower on a fl at and solid surface where it is going to be used.
4.2.- Remove the legs from their support brackets and insert them in their working
position. Check that they are fully inserted and fi xed with the safety lock.
4.3.- Ensure that the lifter is in a vertical position and use the spirit level located on the
base profi le to check the bubble is centred. If necessary, adjust its alignment with the
stabiliser plates by turning the handle in the appropriate direction.
4.4.- Attach the load to the tower using the desired support (the support varies upon the
application), and ensure it is only used to lift loads vertically. The minimum load is 25 kg.
4.5.- Elevation: Extend the tower by turning the winch handle clockwise, lifting the load
to the desired height.
4.6.- Hold: Release the winch handle, it will remain in position by the action of the
winch's automatic brake. Ensure the KAT lock has introduced in to the profi le by turning
the handle slightly anti-clockwise.
4.7.- Continue elevating: Turn the winch handle again clockwise and lift the load until
the next profi le is fully extended. Release the handle which will remain fi xed by the
winch's automatic brake and ensure again the KAT lock has introduced into the second
profi le by turning the handle again anti-clockwise. The tower can be stopped in any desi-
red intermediate position. Simply release the winch handle and secure the tower by in-
serting the corresponding KAT lock into the hole which is closest to the required position.
4.8.- Descent: Firstly unlock the safety lock and turn the winch handle anti-clockwise
until the intermediate profi le is completely folded down. Now unlock the next KAT lock
and retract the following profi le. Just as when lifting the load, the lift may be stopped at
any intermediate position.
4.9.- Transport: Four swivel wheels are located at the base for transporting the lifter. Be-
fore transport it is necessary to fold down the tower by retracting its profi les completely.
Dismount the legs by releasing the safety locks and place them back in their transport
compartments.
