SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. 1.

The KH 405F Ezy-Lift is manufactured and tested to Australian Standard AS3581 and International Standard ISO/DIS 10535.

2.

Always use the correct slings on the hoist.

3.

The MAXIMUM safe working load is 225 Kg.

4.

EMERGENCY STOP This is the big RED switch, located on the front of the controller. If there is a need to use this, simply depress the switch and it will automatically lock the position and cut all power to the electrical system. To disengage the emergency stop switch after it has been depressed, turn the switch in a clockwise direction and the switch should return to its original position.

5.

EMERGENCY LOWERING/RAISING: The emergency lowering/raising buttons can be used to lower/raise the hoist if there is a electrical or 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.

6.

For safety precautions only properly trained personal should use the hoist.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: 1.

INSTALLATION OF BATTERY PACK. Before the EZY LIFT can be operated the battery pack will need to be placed on charge (See 2.1.2 - For Charging 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 Ezy-Lift is now ready for use.

HANDSET: 2.1

RAISE/LOWER: The EZY-LIFT operates via a touch pad handset. The top two switches on the handset are for raising and lowering. To raise or lower the hoist, simply press the required switch on the pad. (Fig 4)

BATTERY CARE AND CHARGING: 4.1

CHARGING: Before the KH 405 F can be operated the battery pack will need to be charged. Please follow the instructions below.

4.2

Plug the charger unit (Fig 4) 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. 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.

4.3

4.4

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 405 F uses fully sealed lead acid batteries. They 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, hence the hoist may never be out of service with a flat battery.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS LUBRICATION The KH 405 F EZY-LIFT requires 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 5).

1.2

The wheel also requires lubricating every couple of months. 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 6).

Fig 6

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: 2.1

Both people are to stand on one side of the hoist. One near the push handle, the other by the side of the hoist.

2.2

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

2.3

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

2.4

The hoist can lie on its side without damage to the plastic cover, but care must be taken when lowering/raising. You now have access to all the lubrication points. ie: pivot points, leg lever and leg pivot. Simply spray TAC-2 on all the pivot points for 2 seconds.
