Final inspection
Check to ensure that no parts have been left in the packaging.
Inspect the lift for signs of wear and damage.
Check all four castor wheels and castor wheel locks.
Check all connections and fixtures including screws and bolts.
Check the emergency stop function by activating the emergency stop button, and
then pressing either the up or down button. If nothing happens when the up or down
buttons are pressed, the emergency stop is functioning properly.
Grasp the hand control, press the up button and run the lift arm all the way up. Then,
press the down button and run the lift arm all the way down.
Test base-width adjustment function. Press the button for base-width adjustment to
widen the base fully, and then press the other button to narrow the base again.
Test lift function by lifting a person (not a user) using an approved sling. At the same
time, check the emergency lowering function with someone on the lift. See section on
Emergency lowering.
If the lift is functioning correctly, connect the charger and check to ensure that the
charging lamp on the control box lights up.
NOTE!
Before the lift is used for the first time:
• it must be charged for at least 4 hours. See section on charging batteries.
• the control box service counter needs to be reset. To reset the service counters
press both lift buttons on the hand control at the same time for 5 seconds.
An audio signal will indicate that the timer has been reset.

Safe working load
Different products on the same lift system (lift unit, slingbar, sling and other lifting accessories) may have different al-
lowable safe working loads. The lowest allowable safe working load always determines the safe working load of the
assembled system. Always check the safe working loads for the lift and accessories before use. Contact your dealer if
you have any questions.
