13.1 Operation instructions

WARNING

Unplug battery before all maintenance and settings! ?

NOTICE

• Never remove the battery while the machine is running ❌
• In case of longer standstill, press the shut-down button ?
• Use the electric motor only with sufficient battery charge ?

13.2 Operation

132.1 Start electrical support

1. Turn ON-Off-Switch (1) to Position „I“. ▶️
2. Turn switch (1) on the handle to "O" BAS activated /EBS deactivated.
   BAS = Brake assistance if no electronic support is requested
   EBS = Electronic Brake: Machine is braked and braking effect is maintained as long as until battery empty until EBS is deactivated again
3. Turn the right-hand control handle (2) to adjust the strength of the electrical support, the further the handle is turned counter clockwise (+) the stronger the support.

Note: no activation on electrical support means BAS active (braking effect noticeable)

Note: If EBS is set to "I", no electric drive assistance in forward or reverse direction.

13.2.2 Machine stopping/parking

1. Turn ON-Off-Switch (1) to Position „I“.
2. Switch (1) on the handle set to "0" BAS activated.
   The machine must be braked by manually by manpower when used on slopes.
3. Switch (1) on the handle set to "I" EBS activated
   The machine brakes until it comes to a complete stand still and the braking effect remains active as long as the switch is set to position "I". Also holds the machine in position on slopes up to 20%. If the machine is to remain in position for a longer period of time, first bring it onto level ground and secure it against rolling away (chock under the wheels)..

Note: Braking function EBS requires battery energy, designed for short times only (max. 15 minutes)

CAUTION

Unplug battery before all maintenance and settings! Serious injury due to unintentional or automatic activation of the machine! ?

The machine does not require extensive maintenance. If malfunctions and defects occur, let it be serviced by trained persons only.

NOTICE

Clean your machine regularly after every usage – it prolongs the machines lifespan and is a pre-requisite for a safe working environment. ✨

Repair jobs shall be performed by respectively trained professionals only! ?️

Check regularly the condition of the security stickers. Replace them if required. ?️

Check regularly the condition of the machine. ✅

Store the machine in a closed, dry location. ?

142.1 Maintenance plan

After each workshift:

• Check the cables (tight fit, damage).

Monthly:

• Charge the battery: if the machine is stored for a longer period of time.

14.3 Storage

• Clean thoroughly all components before storage.
• Store all components separately in a dry area at not less than 0 ° C (optimum for battery 10-25°C).

Important notes on storing the battery to avoid possible damage:

If the machine will not be used for a longer period of time, the battery should be disconnected and disassembled from the machine. Before storage, the battery should be charged again. An exception to this rule are batteries permanently installed in the machine, which should not be disassembled and simply charged with the charger supplied. Batteries should be stored at room temperature (approx. 20° C) in a dry and frost-proof place. Avoid large temperature fluctuations (e.g. do not expose battery to direct sunlight or store near heating systems). Higher temperatures can lead to accelerated ageing and premature loss of function of the battery. If the battery is not used for a longer period of time, check the charge level regularly (monthly, max. every 3 months). If necessary, recharge the battery.

14.4 Disposal

Observe the national waste disposal regulations. Never dispose of the machine, machine components or equipment in residual waste. If necessary, contact your local authorities for information on the disposal options available. ♻️

If you buy a new machine or an equivalent device from your specialist dealer, he is obliged in certain countries to dispose of your old machine properly.
