GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
These operating instructions describe the TS 2500 Transport System (hereafter also
referred to as the "product"). Keep the operating instructions in a safe place for fu-
ture reference.
The purpose of the figures in this operating manual is to help you better under-
stand the topics and step sequences. The representations in the figures are ex-
amples and may deviate slightly from the actual appearance of your product.

SAFETY
GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING
Disregarding the safety information and instructions leads to risk of injury!
Failure to comply with safety information and instructions may lead to serious in-
juries.
a) By following the safety information and instructions provided in these oper-
ating instructions, personal injury and property damage may be prevented
when working at or with the product.
b) Before starting any work, read the operating instructions, in particular the
Safety chapter and the respective safety instructions. It is important to un-
derstand the information that has been read.
Always obey the following safety instructions:
– Never use the transport system improperly or for an unintended pur-
pose. Any use other than the intended use may lead to hazardous situations.
– Observe the following maximum load-bearing capacities (only applies
on a level surface):
– During use on steps, ramps and obstacles, a payload of 100 kg
must not be exceeded. The max. rise of the stairs is 20 cm and the
minimum run is 23 cm. Reduce the load enough that safe handling
is always guaranteed, including at critical points. Do not underes-
timate the dynamic effect of the load when climbing stairs.
– During use as a hand truck, the cargo must not exceed a height of
100 cm and a depth of 25 cm. The centre of gravity of the load
must not be higher than 40 cm above the centre of the nose plate.
The maximum payload of 150 kg must not be exceeded.
– When used as a wheelbarrow, the maximum payload of 200 kg
must not be exceeded. Exceeding the maximum load-bearing capacit-
ies may damage the product.
– Keep in mind that there is risk of the transport system tilting over when
it is used as a hand truck without load or with only a light load.
– An even weight distribution on the frame construction must be ensured
for heavier loads. A highly concentrated load may lead to damage to the
product.
– Wear sturdy footwear when using the transport system to ensure a se-
cure footing at all times. Owing to the narrow wheelbase, particular caution
must be exercised when cornering.
– Before each use, make sure that all locking devices are fully engaged.
After the handles are folded out, the sliding sleeves must be located in
the upper position again so that the handles can no longer be folded in.
The prevents the risk of the handles inadvertently folding in.
– When loading the transport system, make sure that the load can always
be safely handled on any surface. When the load overhangs the transport
system, the centre of gravity may shift outward, which may cause damage to
the load or risk of injury from the transport system tipping over.
– Always secure the load with suitable lashing straps. The centre of gravity
of the load may shift if the load can slip or topple. This may result in the
transport system tipping over.
– If you use lashing straps to secure the load, do not exceed their max-
imum load as specified by the manufacturer. To prevent injuries, hold
the hooks tightly during lashing and fasten them so that the lashing
straps cannot inadvertently come loose. Do not fasten the hooks to the
nose plate. Overloading or incorrectly fastening the lashing straps may lead
to injuries from a lashing strap whipping back.
– Make sure that people or animals do not stand or climb on the transport
system. There is a risk of injury from the transport system tipping over.
– Only use the transport system on sufficiently well-surfaced and secured
pathways where there is no risk of tipping over or falling. Unsurfaced or
uneven pathways may lead to the transport system sinking or tipping over
and may damage the load as well as injure other people.
– Use the transport system at walking speed only. In particular when mov-
ing over steps and small obstacles, proceed extremely slowly and avoid
any jerky impacts. Excessive speed or jerky impacts may result in the loss of
control.
