1. DESCRIPTION

1.1 OVERVIEW

LIFT-O-FLEX® lifters are ergonomically designed to simplify handling, lifting, and transportation of

goods. Each lifting unit can be equipped with different types of load carriers or attachments. The

goods to be handled are placed on the load carrier and adjusted to the desired height

by pressing the buttons on the hand-held remote control pendant. The lifter is powered by

rechargeable, sealed, lead acid batteries. The lift mast is totally enclosed and features a ball screw

for smooth vertical DC-powered movement.

1.2 OPTIONS

The LIFT-O-FLEX comes standard with a Powder-Coated Paint/Anodized finish. As an additional

option, the LIFT-O-FLEX is also available in Stainless Steel/Anodized finish.

An additional electronic power pack with quick exchange features is available to allow for multishift

use.

1.3 ATTACHMENTS

Standard attachments for the LIFT-O-FLEX include a load platform, with or without a stationary or

rotating V-Block, a fixed core probe, an Expand-O-Turn, and Squeeze-O-Turn. Custom applications

are also available upon request.

2. SAFETY

2.1 BUILT-IN FEATURES

The ergonomic design of the LIFT-O-FLEX is, in itself, an active factor of operational safety. The

rear casters are equipped with pedal-activated brakes and the handle bar adjusts vertically to

provide optimal ergonomic positioning for the operator. The lift mast contains a slip clutch; if

anything gets in the way of the downward movement of the attachment, the slip clutch engages

to help prevent injuries as well as mechanical damage to the lifter. We have also incorporated

current limiting to prevent overloading beyond the rated capacity for the unit.

2.2 STORAGE AND TRANSPORT

During storage and transport, the remote control pendant and motor cable should be

disconnected. The lifter should be secured during transport to avoid the risk of tipping over.

2.3 MOVEMENT

The load carrier should always be lowered as low as possible to ensure safe and stable

handling. Use caution when passing thresholds, cords, and other objects on the floor. The

handle bar should be gripped in a way so that the hands are not hurt when passing edges,

walls, or protruding objects. The movement of heavy loads can be easier when using the

directional lock (details listed under 5.5 Brake System).

2.4 LOADING AND UNLOADING

The user is responsible for ensuring that the lifter is loaded correctly.

Always apply the brakes when loading and unloading.

The center of gravity of the goods should always be centered on the load carrier and positioned

as close to the lift mast as possible for maximum stability.

The load carrier should be positioned at the correct height before loading and unloading

to allow a good working position. The load should be pushed or pulled on or off of the load

carrier.

4.1 ASSEMBLY

Assembly Instructions

The lifter is normally delivered disassembled in modules or partially assembled in order to minimize freight

costs. When the lifter is delivered disassembled, each module comes separate with required screws and

tools, etc. When the lifting device is delivered partially assembled, the frame will be together and the

components such as masts, power pack and handle will need to be mounted to the frame.

ASSEMBLING THE FRAME

(Associated diagrams on the next page)

Tools: 1 Allen wrench key size 5mm

Bolts: 16pc. M8x70 mm (6)

Modules: 1 pair of legs (1), 1 pc. Upper intermediate section (2), 1pc. Lower intermediate section (3), 1 pc

Brake rod (4), 1 pc. Lock for Power Pack (5), (needed when power pack is to be mounted),

1)

Before assembling the frame, the rear casters on each leg (three position-see example on next page);

should be locked in the directional lock mode. This is accomplished with the brake rod (4). Insert

one end of the rod into the hole located on the caster holder and turn it so the wheel is

directionally locked and is in the proper position. (Do this on both legs).

2)

Place the upper intermediate section (2) and the lower intermediate section (3) on edge. The upper

intermediate section has the mast slide located on the center and should be placed facing the front

casters. The lower intermediate section has the lift motor attached and should be placed so that the

(2) screws that attach the lift mast to the lower intermediate section face the front casters. Take one

of the legs (1) (the hex hole for the brake rod should face down) and mount it with the enclosed bolts

(6) 8 pcs. Screw it in place (do not tighten). Turn the intermediate sections with one leg attached over

and mount the opposite leg. Insert the brake rod (4) into the hex holes in the proper position before

attaching the leg with the bolts. (do not tighten). The brake rod (4) should be pointed up and

perpendicular to the legs.

Place the frame on its wheels on a level floor. Put pressure on the legs so that each wheel has contact

3)

with the floor. Now, tighten all the bolts in place.

ASSEMBLING THE END EFFECTOR AND MAST

(Associated diagrams on the next page)

Tool: 1 pc. Allen wrench size 5 mm, 1 pc. regular wrench size 13 mm

Screw: The bolt holding the mast: each bolt and nut is on the frame, the platform screw 2 pcs. 3/8”x 3 ½”

Modules: 1 pc. mast (7), 1 pc. Load platform (8), 1 pc. slave mast (12)

Remove the 3 screws (9) which are on the lower intermediate section and loosen the 4 nuts (10)

1)

on both sides of the intermediate section.

Make sure the yellow plastic coupling on the motor is still in place on the gear reducer.

2)

Rotate the primary mast so the coupling is pointing down. Move the mast slide all the way to its bottom

3)

position. Note: The slide can travel down at a high rate of speed should it be on the opposite end when

rotating the mast for placement! The slide should be in the lowest position when mounting the mast.

4)

Insert the mast over the guide rails on the upper intermediate section and push the mast down in order

for the fastening plate to cover the lower intermediate section. Make sure the coupling on the lift mast

and motor are properly mated together or the lower bolts cannot be installed. Installing the slave mast is

the same as the primary except for aligning coupling to lift motor which is not required. Also, attach the

top mast bracket prior to installing end-effector.

Fasten the first 3 bolts (9), this will automatically center the mast. Next, tighten the 4 bolts (10) on the

5)

guide rails in the upper intermediate section.

The end-effector can now be mounted with its 2 bolts (11).

6)

Should you have an accessory which requires electricity this is to be connected to the power pack (5) into

7)

the same outlet as the battery charger. While charging, these accessories will have to be disconnected.

After charging remember to reconnect the plug for the accessory.
