 A safety valve is integrated to ensure a uniform lowering speed - regardless of the load. It also acts as safety device in case there is a hose breakage. 

DO NOT exceed safe working load eg. 250kg – check label.

 Do not store truck in a cool room.  For handling of truck on uneven surfaces or with heavy loads we suggest 2 operators move the truck.

Charging the Battery 1. Connect battery charger to the control unit via the charger socket located on the end. 2. Plug charger into any mains power outlet and leave to charge. 3. Chargers supplied are smart chargers and automatically shut off when the battery is fully charged. Plug charging socket into HTW Mortuary trolley Ensure power point is ON Ensure “Power Lamp” lamp on charger is illuminated Ensure “AGM” lamp on charger is illuminated. (If “AGM” lamp not illuminated, press “Mode” button until “AGM” mode is reached.) If “Error (!)” lamp is illuminated, reset charger by: Turn power point OFF, remove charging socket from HTW Mortuary trolley, wait 30 seconds. Re-install charging socket to HTW Mortuary trolley and turn power point ON. Battery is fully charged when solid white battery lamp is illuminated. Do not attempt to use trolley whilst connected to charger! This may cause CTEK charger to enter an Error Mode which will prevent charging of HTW Mortuary trolley until charger is reset.

4. Select the direction on using the switches on the direction control. A blue light will illuminate next to the direction selected. 5. Ensure a suitable speed is selected – If you are new to the trolley it is suggested you turn the speed down (anti-clockwise) and turn it up (clockwise) while using the trolley to a speed you are comfortable with. 6. The unit is best operated by standing behind the end of the trolley and squeezing the throttle lever to start the movement; you can control the speed from 0-100 % of the maximum set speed with the throttle lever.

Automatic Tray Loading System (ATLS) The automatic loading system is design for loading and unloading stainless steel body trays (LM 80/100 series) to/from a shelf device to the HTW lift and transport truck. Operating the ATLS: Loading a tray on to the trolley: 1. Align the trolley with the racking both vertically and horizontally; ensure thegn the top deck (blue rollers) is in line with the rollers of the racking system using the height adjust buttons. 2. Ensure the hook engage/disengage lever is in the engage position.

3. Press the forward button on the control panel; the hook will move forward and engage on to the tray in the racking. 4. Once engaged, press the backward button and the tray will be pulled onto the trolley. 5. Once the tray is fully loaded onto the trolley, move the trolley back from the racking before lowering. Note: The hook is also the securing mechanism for the tray when the trolley is being moved.

Motorised Roller Loading System (MRLS) The motorised roller loading system is design for loading and unloading stainless steel body trays (LM 80/100 series) to/from a shelf device to the HTW lift and transport truck. Operating the MRLS: Loading a tray on to the trolley: 1. Use the hook on the front of the trolley to pull the tray out from the racking. This is performed by a. Coming in lower than the tray, the front hook can lightly touch against the front of the racking. b. Raising the trolley so the hook catches under the tray handle. c. Pull the trolley back so the tray over hangs by about 20cm. Note: if the trolley is fitted with a drive unit, it is advised that you use the drive unit to pull the tray out to minimise the manual handling.

b.

2. Lower the trolley and once again move the trolley forward so the front hook lightly touches the front of the racking. 3. Press and hold the backwards button on the control panel. 4. Raise the trolley until the front roller engages with the tray, and the tray begins to load. 5. Release the backwards button and use the tray lock to ensure the tray is locked in place by engaging the red leaver.

Maintenance of the lift and transport truck The following points should be checked by the end user at regular intervals (approx. every 3 months) o Smooth operation of all moving parts. o Working order of the wheels and parking brakes. o Hydraulic hoses (small leakage rates are acceptable and have no effect on the trolley's working condition). o Clean the lift and transport truck with soapy water. o Avoid cleaning actuator shaft - lower the truck to minimum stroke for cleaning. o DO NOT use strongly acid/alkaline, corrosive or abrasive cleaners. o If batteries are used, check the acid level (12V Systems Only). o Do not modify the truck without written permission. To be performed yearly by a qualified service person: o Check the oil-level, approx. 1 cm underneath the top.

DO NOT USE PRESSURE OR STEAM CLEANER WARRANTY WILL BE VOID

Maintenance of the 12/24 Volt Hydraulic unit • Check the acid level of the battery • For refill use only distilled water • Check the oil-level, approx. 1 cm underneath the top • Disconnect the cable of the battery or take out the fuse before working at the electrical wiring (disconnect first the negative pole and then the positive pole) • In case of disconnecting and connecting of any wiring check the polarity! • Use only a 12 Volt DC batteries • Use only 24 Volt DC recharger with overload protection The lift- and transport truck was subjected to a function test at the factory.
