Fig. 1-1: MAX LIFT HEIGHTS

The MH-400 operates on a cable and winch lift system. The lift hieght is limited by the height of
the upright boom. Currently, three different lift heights are offered. They are the 400A, 400B and
400C. Their respective maximum lifts are shown in Fig. 1-1.

1-3: Care and Maintenance

The RollRunner is relatively maintenance free, generally only re­quiring periodic inspections. Over time, you may need to replace
the lift cable, which is simply performed by removing the old ca­ble and inserting the new cable and crimping at the open end.

1-4: Safety

The RollRunner is equipped
with a safety brake which will
automatically engage in the
event of lift cable breakage.
(see Figure 1-5)

Section 2: Machine Setup

2-1: Uncrating & Inspection

After carefully removing your
RollRunner from the crate,
check to assure that all the
bolts are tight and that no
components have come loose
during shipment. Carefully
inspect all 4 wheels making
sure they roll freely and are
free of damage. If any visible
damage has occurred in ship­ment, contact AZTECH imme­diately.

2-2: Safety Brake Inspection

As noted in 1-4, your RollRun­ner is equipped with a safety
brake which will prevent a load
from falling in the event of a ca-

-Operate the ROLL RUNNER without the safety cover.

-Lift load over people

-Exceed the 400 LB weight limitation

-Use the ROLL RUNNER to transport people

ble break. To assure it is work­ing properly, check to see
that the 2 springs that activate
the safety brake have tension
and are attached at both ends.

2-2 Battery Connection

The RollRunner’s motorized
lift utilizes a 12 Volt deep-cycle
battery (not provided) which
may be purchased at virtually
any automotive or department
store. To connect the battery,
simply connect red cable to
the positive (+) terminal, and
the other cable to the negative
(-) terminal. The RollRunner
comes with an auxillary battery
charger and will need to be

charged periodically dependant
on use. Generally the higher
the cold cranking amps (CCA)
the battery is rated at, the less
frequently it would need to be
charged.

2-4: Winch & Cable Inspec­tion

Before lifting a load for the
rst time, remove the protec­tive winch cover and visually
inspect to assure that the
cable is seated properly in the
grooves of the pulleys.
