Page 31: Cage Weigh System
TM Series Operating & Safety Instructions CAGE WEIGH SYSTEM 4.5.1 MECHANICAL VERSION The Niftylift range of machines are available fitted with mechanical cage weigh systems. These are configured to sense a vertical cage overload, which when detected will halt the machine movement. No further use of the platform is then permitted until the overload has been removed. - Page 32 TM Series Operating & Safety Instructions 4.5.4 CALIBRATION If a closer examination of the system is required, typically for testing and approval, the safe working load should be placed in the cage, carefully weighing the test load to ensure accuracy. The addition of a 5kg weight, to any of the four corners of the cage, should sound the alarm.
-
Page 33: Cage Weigh System
TM Series Operating & Safety Instructions The failure signal is generated if either relay fails to respond to the ‘safe’ cage weigh signal from the safety micro-switch, either due to a coil or contacts failing or if a contact sticks in place due to welding. -
Page 34: Batteries And Charging
TM Series Operating & Safety Instructions BATTERIES AND CHARGING BATTERIES MUST BE RECHARGED IN A WELL-VENTILATED AREA FREE OF FLAME, SPARKS OR OTHER HAZARDS THAT MAY CAUSE EXPLOSION. HIGHLY EXPLOSIVE HYDROGEN GAS IS PRODUCED DURING THE CHARGING PROCESS. Recharge batteries at the end of every working day or shift. (Note: To recharge batteries fully from flat takes approx. - Page 35 TM Series Operating & Safety Instructions Note: If the charger is reconnected to the power supply shortly after it has gone through its full charging cycle, the transformer type charger may show a Red light although the batteries may be fully charged.

TM Series Operating & Safety Instructions TRANSPORTING, TOWING, STORAGE AND SETTING TO WORK 4.7.1 TRANSPORTING If a work platform is to be moved over a longer distance, whether the machine is trailer mounted, vehicle mounted, self propelled or tracked, the following procedure should be read before restraints are attached to the machine. - Page 38 TM Series Operating & Safety Instructions 4.7.2 TOWING THE MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED TOWING SPEED OF A NIFTYLIFT IS 45 MPH (72 KMPH) WITH A VEHICLE THAT COMPLIES WITH ALL ROAD TRAFFIC REGULATIONS. SPEEDING MAY RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY. It is recommended that the maximum towing speed of 45mph (72kmph) be adhered to for the greatest safety.
- Page 39 TM Series Operating & Safety Instructions 4.7.3 CRANEAGE Observe all of the limitations relating to straps and chains stated above under ‘Transporting’. (Section 4.7.1) When utilising the designated lifting points never apply a ‘snatch’ load, i.e. lift slowly to take up the load before raising.
- Page 40 TM Series Operating & Safety Instructions Ensure that all safety devices and controls operate in accordance with the instructions. If necessary, perform a load test to establish the machine stability before putting the machine to work. On completion of an extended period of road transport, the machine might need additional inspection to identify any transit degradation, which could render the machine unsafe.

Page 41: Traction Drive
TM Series Operating & Safety Instructions TRACTION DRIVE On those trailer machines equipped primarily with fixed width axles, a traction drive system is an available option. This function allows the machine to be manoeuvred by one man, and provides the machine with the capability of ascending or descending a slope of 10% (5.7 degrees). -
Page 42: Traction Drive
TM Series Operating & Safety Instructions 4.8.2 DISENGAGING DRIVE Unless the machine has been manoeuvred to allow it to be coupled to a towing vehicle (as described in the appropriate section of this handbook), before disengaging the traction drive system the parking handbrake must be fully engaged. On no account disengage the traction drive system unless the handbrake is engaged, the wheels are securely chocked or the machine is connected to a towing vehicle. -
