Installation and Commissioning The Ergoplan must be set up in a stable position so that there are no crushing or shearing points between the Ergoplan and/or the load and objects in the vicinity. Therefore, ensure sufficient space around the Ergoplan. It must be possible to carry out the intended work on the Ergoplan or the load without obstruction.
• By actuating the foot pedal (A) downwards, the internal hydraulics re- act to the tie bars in the columns and move the table top gradually upwards. To reach the complete lifting height, approx. 40 actuations are required. • When the foot pedal (A) is released, the movement stops and the working platform remains in this position.
11.2.1 Clamping with Front and Rear Yaw The front and rear jaw of the work bench each are equipped with a high quality and solid threaded spindle. The clamping jaws can be easily clamped or opened with the vice handles. Depending on the dimensions and prop- erties, the workpiece can be clamped directly via the clamping jaws or with the aid of clamping hooks via the hole grid of the work bench top.
11.2.2.1 Advantages of the optional Bench Dogs The optionally available bench dogs are optimally matched to the Er- goplan work benches and their hole grid. The two lengths 120 mm (Art.-No. 211.201.30) and 200 mm (Art.-No. 211.205.30) are available as a set of 2 pieces (see chapter 16). •...
11.3 Undercarriage (Model EP1 only) In order to move the work and assembly table to another place of use, the undercarriage of the EP1 can be folded out. However, the load- bearing capacity of the construction is designed exclusively for trans- porting the Ergoplan.
