3.1.2 Handlebar
The height of the handlebar can easily be adjusted by loosening the quick disconnect handles and sliding
the handlebar to the desired position. After adjustment, tighten the quick disconnect handles. To obtain
the best working conditions it is important to adjust the handle to a comfortable level.
During movement of the lifter, always keep hands inside the handle. This will protect the hands if the
handlebar should encounter an obstacle.
3.1.3 Lifting
Important!
The maximum lift capacity is limited to 400lb.
The lifter is not to be used for personnel transportation.
Place your LIFT-O-FLEX in the working area. Make sure to always apply the brake before loading or
unloading the end-effector. To apply the brakes, push the red brake bar forward to its bottom position.
Be certain that the end-effector is placed on the same level as the object being loaded. To adjust the
elevation of the end-effector, use the buttons on the remote control pendant. The remote control pendant
has arrows to show the direction of operation.
Place the load on the end-effector. The load should always be positioned centrally in order to obtain the
best stability possible. The load should be placed at the center and back of the end-effector.
When loading different items raise/lower the end-effector to the correct elevation, making it easy to push
or pull the items on or off the end-effector.
The remote control pendant can rest on the handle or be held in the hand in the best position to observe
the movement of the end-effector. The remote control holder with keyhole slot is mounted on the
handlebar and can be easily adjusted. Turn the quick release handle loosening the holder, adjust to the
desired angle or position and retighten the quick release handle to lock it in place.
