SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. 1. The KH 404 F Swift-Lift is manufactured and tested to Australian Standard AS3581 and International Standard ISO/DIS 10535. 2. The MAXIMUM safe working load is 150 Kg’s. 3. EMERGENCY LOWERING/RAISING: The emergency lowering/raising buttons can be used to lower/raise the hoist if there is a handset failure. The switches are located on the controller under the big red emergency stop switch. Simply press using a ball point pen or similar object, DO NOT use a sharp object such as a compass point. 4. Always use the correct slings on the hoist. 5.. For safety precautions only properly trained personal should use the hoist.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 1.1 INSTALLATION OF BATTERY PACK. Before the SWIFT-LIFT can be operated the battery pack will need to be placed on charge (See 2.1.2 - For Charging Battery). Minimum 4 hours for flat battery. When the battery pack is fully charged, remove the battery from the charger and place on the hoist. Simply locate the battery on the mounting bracket and clip the release lever into the secure position. The Swift-Lift is now ready for use.

HANDSET:

1.2.1 RAISE/LOWER: The SWIFT-LIFT operates via a touch pad hand controller. To raise or lower the hoist, simply press the required switch on the pad. (Fig 4) There are four switches on the hand controller for raising and lowering.

The top two switches are for slow normal operation (tortoise); the middle two switches are for faster operation (Hare). Simply choose the speed that suits your application. 1.2.2 LEG GATING: To OPEN or CLOSE the “Gate” on the legs, simply press the touch pad hand controller with the required function. (Fig 4 shows the lower set of switches that operate the leg “gate”). Open on the left, close on the right.

BATTERY CHARGING AND CARE 1.

MOUNTING OF THE CHARGING UNIT.

Kerry Equipment recommends that the charging unit be mounted on a wall out of the way of normal traffic, at approximately waist high, close to an electrical outlet. This will help in easy attachment and removal of the battery when charging is required. For further instructions on charger mounting, please consult the charger mounting instructions supplied with the charging unit. 2.

CHARGING

Before the KH 404 F can be operated the battery pack will need to be charged. Please follow the instructions below. 2.1 Plug the charger unit (Fig 6) into the 240-Volt supply outlet. The unit is now ready to accept a battery that requires charging; a GREEN L.E.D. (ON) will be displayed. 2.2 To charge the battery, simply locate the battery on the mount bracket and clip into position. (The GREEN and ORANGE L.E.D. on the front of the charger will be displayed). The battery is fully charged when the ORANGE L.E.D. is OFF and only the GREEN L.E.D. is displayed. 2.3 If a two-battery system is going to be used, replace the first battery once charged, with the second battery. Charge using the same procedure as above. NOTE: A battery pack may remain on charge indefinitely without any detrimental effects to the battery or charging unit.

BATTERY CARE

The KH 404 F uses fully sealed lead acid batteries. Which are designed to be recharged on a regular basis. To care for your batteries and obtain the maximum life DO NOT allow the batteries to run totally flat before recharging. The controller is fitted with an audio low battery warning alarm. When this warning alarm sounds complete the lift process, then change the battery and recharge. Kerry Equipment recommends that a 2-battery system be used; this allows one battery to always be on charge while the other is in use, and hence the hoist may never be out of service with a flat battery.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS LUBRICATION The KH 404 F SWIFT-LIFT require periodical lubrication. These points are: 1.

CASTORS It is always best practice to remove all hair and lint from the castors as soon as possible, always allowing free movement of all the wheels. The castors need to be lubricated monthly (Use TAC-2 only). This involves: 1.1

The Castor head bearing will need lubricating. Simply spray TAC-2 up into the bearing while rotating the castor (Fig 7). The wheel also requires lubricating every month. To do this the wheel must be unbolted and removed from the castor frame. TAC-2 can then be sprayed into the hub centre to lubricate the internal bearings (Fig 8).

Fig 7 2.

Fig 8

BASE PIVOT POINTS

All pivot points will need to be lubricated with TAC-2 or similar lubricant. Simply spray for 2 seconds on each side of the recommended points monthly. The hoist has to be turned onto its side for access to the following lubrication points. (To do this 2 people are required.) Follow the instruction below: 2.0.1 Both people are to stand on one side of the hoist. One near the push handle, the other by the side of the hoist.

KH404F

2.0.2

The person near the push handle locks the total lock castors.

2.0.3

In conjunction with one another pull the hoist towards the side, lowering the hoist onto its side on the floor.

2.0.4

The hoist can lie on its side without damage to the plastic cover, but care must be taken when lowering/raising.

GENERAL CLEANING 1.

The KH 404 F SWIFT-LIFT can be cleaned with a low strength detergent, warm water and a soft textured cloth. This includes all Epoxy powder coated framework, PVC cover, polyurethane legs and yoke.

2.

CAUTION Do not immerse any parts in water. Do not allow water/cleaning liquid to enter the battery or controller. Clean up spills immediately.

3.

SLING CARE Protect from direct sunlight. Repair any cuts or fraying immediately. Slings are machine washable. Please refer to care instructions on the sling.
