Emergency stop/Emergency lowering/Charging

EN
Emergency stop
Movement of the lift stops immediately when the red emer-
gency button on the electrical box is pressed.
The lift must not be used if the emergency stop function is
not working.
To release the emergency stop button after use, twist it a
quarter turn as indicated by the arrows on the button. The
motor can then be used again.
EN
Emergency lowering
If the lift stops working while in use (for example, if the
hand control develops a fault), the user can always be lowered
without any risk using the emergency lowering function.
The lift exerts no downward force during emergency low-
ering other than the weight of the user and the lifting arm.
This reduces the risk of crushing injuries.
EN
Battery – Charging/Replacement
The battery must be charged regularly. We recommend
charging every night. The emergency stop button must not
be depressed during charging.
The battery has no "memory" and its lifetime can be sig-
nificantly shortened if it is allowed to discharge completely
before its next charge. Connect the power cord to a wall
socket.
The mobile lift must not be used during charg-
ing.
The battery must not be charged in a damp envi-
ronment, e.g. a bathroom.

The emergency stop function must be checked regularly.
Operate the lift without a load and press the emergency stop
button – the lift should stop immediately.
The emergency stop button must not be used as a
start/stop button. When the lift is in use, the but-
ton must always be in the out position.

There are two ways of doing this:
1. On the electrical box (below the emergency stop button)
there is a hole next to an arrow button. Insert the tip of a
pencil or other similar object (not too sharp) into the hole.
This will activate emergency lowering (fig. D 1).
2. The mobile lift has a mechanical emergency lowering
function. If you pull the ring upwards, the lifting arm
moves downwards when loaded (fig. D 2).
There are two LEDs (indicator lights) on the electrical box.
– The light on the left is green and indicates that the
power cord is connected (fig. E).
– The light on the right is yellow and indicates that charg-
ing is in progress. If the light does not come on during
charging despite the plug being in the wall socket, a
qualified technician must be contacted (fig. E).
If the mobile lift does not function as expected, even though
the battery is fully charged, this may be due to the battery's
lifetime having been exceeded. If this is the case, the battery
should be replaced (fig. F).
Etac can supply a new battery.
