LOADING SAFETY

CAUTION: Never lift a load that is over the rated capacity of the PowerMate® unit.

Estimate the weight and center of gravity position of the load and refer to the unit
Load Capacity Chart to ensure the load is within the loading envelope. The capacity
may be limited by the weight and strength of the operator(s). Do not operate with a
load that is beyond the operator's physical ability.

Do not attempt to increase the load capacity of the equipment by the use of chains,
rope, or other means of securing the equipment to the bed or bodies of vehicles,
handrails, wall brackets, etc..

Operators shall determine the balance of unfamiliar loads prior moving the load.
Work performed in a balanced condition is done easier and safer. New operators
should gain practice experience with lighter loads of approximately 250 lbs. with a
medium center of gravity before progressing to heavier loads. Do not raise or lower
the load too far past the balance point. Jog the equipment control switches so as
not to transfer the load weight too quickly. Training is mandatory!

Ensure the load is not damaged, properly packaged, no loose items such as tools
used in packaging the load and sharp items (such as nails) projecting from the
load.

Protect the PowerMate
failure. Always inspect straps prior to use. Insure the strapping latching mechanism
is fully engaged.

Verify load secureness at the beginning of use, and prior to climbing or descending

SAFETY IN MOTION continued

Stay alert. Should something break, loosen, or malfunction, on your machine, stop

work and seek qualified assistance to correct the condition. When going down a
ramp or incline, always walk ahead of the machine and use the open/close controls
to engage the rubber guard (foot) with the ground to act as a brake. Do not allow
the loaded PowerMate® to attain an un-controllable speed. When moving a
PowerMate® unit down a stair without a load, always push the wheels off the step
before lowering the wheels to the next step.

Do not compress the top urethane bumper when the machine is under load.

BATTERY SAFETY

Lead-acid batteries contain hydrogen-oxygen gases that can be explosive and
sulphuric acid that can cause severe burns. To help avoid risk of danger and injury,
observe these precautions when handling or working with a lead-acid battery.

Wear ANSI approved safety glasses or goggles and a face shield. Wear proper
clothing to protect hands, and body. Wear appropriate rubber gloves and apron.

Never lean over a battery when testing or charging. Cigarettes, flames or sparks,
could cause a battery to explode. Keep all ignition sources away from battery. Do
not strike the sides of a battery with any spark producing item. Make sure work
area is well-ventilated.

Never touch both battery terminals with bare hands at the same time. Remove
rings, watches and dangling jewelry when working with batteries. The metal in the

ewelry can cause a shock and burns if contacted with the battery terminals.

Only use insulated/non-conducting tools when making connections on a battery.
Never lay tools or other parts on top of a battery.

Because the batteries used in L P International products are of the sealed type,
the battery should be replaced if there is evidence of spillage. If there is spilled
sulphuric acid present, neutralize with baking soda. Never remove vent caps on a
sealed battery. In the event of an accident, flush with water and call a physician
immediately. If venting gas is significantly inhaled, seek immediate medical
attention.

Never store batteries with explosives, flammable materials, chemicals, or food.

Protect batteries from crushing, punctures and shorting.

Do not charge or use booster cables or adjust battery connections without proper

instructions and training.

Keep batteries out of reach of children.

Do not accumulate used batteries. Dispose used batteries in accordance with

local environmental laws.

STORAGE PROCEDURE

If the equipment is not to be used for an extended period of time (over 3 months)
then the following storage procedure should be completed by a knowledgeable
service person.

1. Remove the front drive screw guard (if installed). Extend the main frames
fully. Clean and lubricate the drive screw with light machine oil. Replace
the drive screw guard.

2. Disable the equipment by placing the safety toggle switch in the “Off” (O)
position.

3. Store the equipment in a dry / dust-free location.

4. Check every 3 months that the battery is fully charged.

5. Before returning the equipment to service, it should be examined by a

trained and competent service person.



BATTERY CARE

The 12 volt DC battery system is maintenance free and sealed. The gelled
electrolyte inside the battery requires no maintenance whatsoever throughout its
life. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN THESE BATTERIES.

The best battery life and equipment performance will be attained by keeping the
battery fully charged.

The equipment has a small female battery charging receptacle located on the left
side of the battery box cover. This receptacle is connected directly to the battery.

The battery charger output wire has a mating male plug.

Insertion of the male plug into the female receptacle connects the battery charger
to the battery. Once connected the battery charger automatically commences
charging. The charger stops when the battery is fully charged.

Additional Tips for Operating the M-Series PowerMate

To enjoy "Trouble Free" PowerMate operations, remember the
following:



1. Keep the battery fully charged.

2. Follow the maintenance schedule and especially keep the screw clean and oiled with
light machine oil.

®

3. PowerMate

equipment is designed to take advantage of balance and leverage

principles. Work performed will be easier and safer when the load is maintained in a
balanced position. The operator should locate the center of gravity position of an
unfamiliar load prior to undertaking lifting or lowering operations.

4. New operators should be trained on light loads not exceeding 400 lbs. (182 kg),
progressing to heavier loads after gaining experience.

5. Never unstrap a load with the wheels up.

6. No not compress the top or bottom red bumpers on the drive screw when the unit has
a load.

7. Never lay the PowerMate® unit down on the battery box when transporting.

8. Ensure the overide bearing is properly adjusted on the drive screw.

9. Keep nuts and bolts tight on the dolly attachment and the hook bar.

®

10. Keep both hands on the handles when operating the PowerMate

.

11. When climbing stairs, keep the wheels at the back of the stair tread and the heel of the
machine back a safe distance from the step edge.

12. It is essential for reliability, and to conform with current Health and Safety legislation,

that your PowerMate
Agreement with L P International. Inc.

®

is maintained regularly. We recommend a bi-annual Service

MAINTENANCE AFTER EVERY YEAR OF OPERATION

This equipment is designed for use as a heavy duty lifting device. To ensure operator safety and

continuing trouble free operation, have the equipment thoroughly checked by a trained and
competent service person at least once a year. This maintenance should be performed using the
following procedure.

1. Place a load of at least 500 pounds (230 kilograms) on the equipment. Cycle the equipment up
and down several times in order to evaluate its current condition. This load test will help reveal
the condition of the drive and brake systems, the frame structures and the electrical
components. Improper conditions may be exhibited by excessive vibration, unusual noise or
slow operation.

2. Check the inner and outer frame assemblies for bending, flattening, twisting, looseness or
worn surfaces of the frame members. Check the frame roller tracks for cracks and worn
surfaces.

3. Check the rollers for free rotation. Lubricate the roller axles with light machine oil.

4. Check that the two main frame wheels and main frame axle are in good condition. Lubricate
the two main frame wheels with multi-purpose grease.

5. Check that the strapbar mounting hardware is secure. Check that the load binding straps are
not cut or frayed and that the strap locking handles are secure.

6. Remove the drive screw as outlined under “Drive Screw Removal and Installation”. Clean the
drive screw and ballnut. Do not remove the ballnut from the drive screw.

7. Check for a close running fit between the drive screw and the ballnut. There should be no
wobble or excessive clearance and the ballnut should run smoothly and freely. There is a small
tube on the side of the ballnut for the re-circulation of the ball bearings. Check that the 2 tube
halves are fastened tightly together. Check that the area of the outside threads at the top of the
ballnut is in good condition. If any of these checks reveal a problem, replace the ballnut as
outlined in the manual.

8. If during the test of the equipment in step #1, there was excessive vibration, check the drive
screw for straightness. Replace the drive screw as outlined in the manual if the drive screw is
at all bent.

9. Check that the ballnut locknut, drive coupling, top and bottom red urethane bumpers and brake
cap are all in good condition.

10. Replace all of the components for the brake assembly and the override bearing as outlined
elsewhere in this manual.

11. Check that the electric motor armature, brushes and bearings are in good condition.

12. Reassemble the drivescrew assembly and electric motor in the equipment as outlined
elsewhere in this manual.

14. Remove and replace the two Push Buttons and Push Button Caps.

15. Check that all electrical wire connections are secure.

16. Check that the battery and battery charger are in good condition and that the
battery is fully charged.

17. Repeat the equipment load test from step #1. Cycle the equipment up and down

several times in order to evaluate its condition.



WARNING - All repairs, electrical or mechanical, should be carried out only by a

trained and competent service person. Use only approved repair
parts; any others may create a hazard.

Procedure for Repairing the M-Series Drive Screw Assembly

NOTE: Read all instructions carefully before attempting to make repairs to any part of the drive screw assembly.

Assembly

1. Place machine on a suitable work bench, with the
machine resting on its wheels and rear handles
(toeplate up). Activate the unit until it is extended
approximately half-way. Disconnect the power supply
by way of the circuit breaker.

2. Refering to the Screw Assembly Drawings, remove
the two 1/4"bolts(22) and nuts(23). Proceed to
remove the brake cap (1), two bronze thrust washers
(2), steel washer(3), washer retainer(4), and brake
spring(5).

3. Drive out the 3/16"roll pin(7) taking care not to bend
the drive screw shaft. Place a suitable support
underneath the brake drive top washer(6)for this
operation.

4. Remove the brake drive top washer(6), two steel
thrust washers(8), thrust washer(9), brake drive
bottom washer(10), two bronze thrust washer(2) and
the steel thrust washer(11). NOTE: At this point, if it is
intended to replace the Bearing Overide or Ballnut,
complete those procedures first before continuing with
the brake reassembly.

5. As per the screw assembly drawing, replace the
brake assembly components (Brake Assembly Kit P/N

400150) in reverse as follows:
Items 2-11-2-10-8-9-8-6-7-5-4-2-3-2.
During assembly, place a few drops of light machine
oil on the thrust bearing(9) only. Remember to
support the brake drive top washer(6) when installing
the 3/16" roll pin(7).

6. Install the brake cap(1) and insert the 1/4"bolts(22)

and fasten with the nuts(23).



Installation of Override Bearing Kit,
Ballnut or Screw Removal

NOTE: For this procedure, it will be necessary to

remove all accessories like skid plate, extended
toeplate, screw guard, strapbars, etc.

1. Remove the brake assembly as outlined in the
Brake Assembly Procedure.

2. Remove the motor guard. Loosen (remove if
necessary) the two bolts holding the motor support
to the mounting bracket. Pull the motor away from
the screw assembly to disengage.

3. Loosen the set screws(16) in the ballnut

locknut(15). Unfasten the locknut from the
ballnut(18). The outer frame and inner frame are
now disengaged.





4. Move the drive screw(19) enough to allow removal of
the override bearing components. Remove the
bearing retainer bar(12), two steel thrust
washers(11), thrust washer(9), plate washers(13),
and the urethane bumper(14).
NOTE: At this point, if it is intended to replace the
Ballnut or removing the Drive Screw for service or
replacement, complete those procedures first before
continuing with the override bearing replacement.

5. As per the screw assembly drawing, replace the
override bearing components(Bearing Override Kit
PN 400160) in reverse order as follows:
Items: 13-14-13-11-9-11-12.

bearing(9) and the roller bearing in the bearing
retainer bar(12).

6. Guide the drive screw(19) back through the inner
frame top support and engage the spline coupling
(21) with the motor. Re-install the motor mounting
bolts but do not tighten. Reposition the outer frame
and/or ballnut so they engage through the ballnut
bracket leaving the unit extended approximately
halfway.

7. Thread the ballnut locknut(15) onto the ballnut(18),
but do not tighten.

8. Replace the brake assembly components as per the
Brake Assembly instruction step 5. Re-install the
brake cap(1) with 1/4"bolts and nuts(22/23) but do
not tighten.

9. Reactivate the electrical power through the circuit
breaker and operate the machine to full extension.
Push the motor/motor support towards the screw so
the skirt on the splined coupling(21) is 1/32" from the
motor. Tighten the motor mounting bolts.

10. Operate the unit to its fully retracted position. Tighten
the brake cap(1) bolts and nuts(22/23).

11. Tighten the ballnut locknut(15) to the ballnut(18),
hand tight only. Tighten the set screws(16).
NOTE: The ballnut must spin only when the unit is
run to its fully extended or retracted limits. If it does
not, adjust the tightness of the ballnut locknut.

STAIR CLIMBER SOLIDSTATE CONTROLLER

The Stair Climber Solid State Controller is a fully solid state Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) controller. Its
advanced microprocessor based control implements a state-of the-art power MOSFET motor drive. Advanced
features provide improved functionality, smoother operation, reduced mechanical stress, and protects against
abuse and system faults.

ADVANTAGES

- Reduced peak current reduces power loss in batteries, motor, and cabling.

- Reduced peak current reduces battery stress, increased service life.

- Reduced peak torque reduces mechanical stress, increasing service life of the gear train and motor.

- Smooth operation "feel" by controlled acceleration and deceleration (motor voltage ramp-up and
ramp-down) eliminating jerkiness.

- Automatically slows speed with heavy loads, improving control and safety.

- Overload protection shuts off if lift load is too heavy.

- Protects batteries by limiting minimum loaded voltage to 8.5 volts.

- Internal protections for many types of internal and external faults.

- Protects controller by inhibiting operation if battery voltage is to high.

- Detects battery+ or battery- short to frame and inhibits motor operation.

- Limits continuous operation to <30 seconds. Control wiring fault protection.

- Alerts to low or excess control heating (from over-use).

- Alerts to overload or excess continuous run time (control fault).

- Alerts to battery+ or battery- short to frame.

- Alerts to internal controller faults.

- Low standby power of less than 20mA.

Locating the Charger:

Determine the position in the vehicle the PowerMate Unit will be using as it's charging station. The Battery Charger should be mounted in a
position that will allow visibility of the charger and give easy access for the charger output wire (4 1/2 feet) and charge plug to the PowerMate Unit.
The charger is equipped with adhesive backing for mounting to any flat surface.
NOTE:The mounting location should be free from moisture, dirt, and other contaminants. The charger should be mounted where the air is free to
move around it. It should never be located in a box, compartment, or covered by any object. Doing so may result in excess heating and reduced
performance. Do not expose the charger to any type of water spray. Do not immerse in water or any liquid. Should the charger become wet inside
it should be disconnected immediately and returned to the manufacturer for refurbishment. Mount where the charger and its cables will not be
physically damaged.

Input Wiring:

The installation will require a negative ground contact, and a positive wire coming from the vehicle battery. It is the installers responsibility to
ensure the wire is of proper size capable of carrying at least 7 Amps continuous. In order to ensure maximum performance of the charger, the
following wire sizes are recommended:
