Transport to the Installation Site Only trained personnel may be used for the following work: • Transport the Mobile Lifter • Unloading the Mobile Lifter • Check delivery condition of the Mobile Lifter Unloading the Lift Table There is an increased risk of accidents when unloading and transporting the Mobile Lifter! The Mobile Lifter can fall or tip over due to its weight! Use only suitable and technically perfect lifting gear and suspension systems with an adequate lifting capacity of 1000 kg.
8.1.3 Check Delivery Condition Check for completeness and transport damage. In case of transport damage or missing parts, document these immediately on the consignment note of the transport company. At the same time, inform the manufacturer of the situation. 8.1.4 Unpacking and Placing Unpack the Mobile Lifter and remove the packing material.
Lashing on a Transport Vehicle The Mobile Lifter must be lashed to the loading area of the transport vehicle on a transport pallet for possible on- ward transport. For this purpose, at least 2 lashing straps with the appropriate load-bearing capacity must be used. The responsibility for safe loading is borne by the respective shipper! ...

(for details refer to section 11.7). • Before clamping, the vacuum must be completely built up. • To switch on the entire system of the Mobile Lifter ML-120, turn the main switch (1) to the right to the “ON” position → After waiting for approx.
11.2 Adjustment Options To ensure that the Mobile Lifter can be used as flexibly as possible in panel handling, it has various adjustment options, which are carried out either manually or by electric motor. Figure 7: Adjustment options ML-120 Pos. Designation...
11.3.2 Remote Control Functions Important: Before establishing the radio connection for the remote control, the supplied high- flex antenna must be connected via BNC coupling to the receiver box (6) above the control cabi- net. Also make sure that the battery of the remote control is in a fully charged condition. Action / State Procedure / Description Switch on the...
11.4 Lifting and Tilting the Clamping Platform The height and tilt adjustment is motorised via the respective buttons of the remote control (refer to section 11.3.2). The force is transmitted via two actuators, one for the lift mast and one for the tilting axis. Before the clamping platform is lifted, the Mobile Lifter must first be fixed in place by the two lockable brakes on the two rear castors.
11.7 Battery Monitoring The battery monitor unit built into the control cabinet door is used to indicate and monitor the battery status of the two lead-acid batteries that are used to supply power to the Mobile Lifter. • With the two buttons (+) and (-) you can switch between the fol- lowing display modes: - Charge status in percent (%) - Battery voltage (V)
11.9 Requirements for Clamping Panels No panel material may be clamped via the vacuum clamping device if the red warning lamp (10) on the con- trol cabinet lights up (insufficient vacuum). Panel material that cannot be held securely by the vacuum suction pads because the surface is too rough, porous or permeable to air (e.g.
11.12 Adjusting the Vacuum Pad Positions In order to adapt the clamping surfaces to the size of a panel and to optimally adjust the load distribution, the four outer of the six vacuum pads can be moved in their positions. In addition, the distance between the two vacuum pad support rails (R1) and (R2) can be adjusted by means of a hole grid.
Battery Charger CBHF2 24-30 12.1 General Information and Warnings • Electronic charger with microprocessor suitable for the battery types installed in the Mobile Lifter. • Fully automatic, electronically controlled charging process with protection against overload, short circuit at the terminals and polarity reversal. •...
• Check whether the type shown in the display corresponds to the battery type → The display must indicate “Acd”, as two lead-acid batteries are installed in the ML-120 Mobile Lifter (If the display indicates “GEL”, there is an error and the unit must not be used!).
