Safety Information
OPERATION
Before use, the transport components should be checked
for function, and for any damage. If there are visible
defects, the components should not be used. Damaged
parts must be replaced. Since the hydraulic furniture
mover consists of two parts, it is necessary for two
persons to operate them.
Before using, the platforms should be let down to the floor
until the transport units are standing vertically. Push the
platform of the units under the side faces (narrow faces)
of the cabinet until the top and bottom of the transport
platform frame are resting against it. The centres of the
platform must be beneath the centre of gravity of the
cabinet.
Please the securing straps in position and tighten them.
The straps will connect both units and, when used
correctly, prevent them from slipping out of their position
holding the goods to be transported. Here, the strap ends
must be under direct tension, that is, the straps must not
be pulling round the edge of a cabinet, etc. If the position
of the centre of gravity makes it necessary for the cabinet
being transported to project on one side out of frame, or,
due to its width, it projects on both sides, an additional
strap surrounding it must be employed. This must be
fed through the strap loops on the units. However, the
maximum overhang must not be more than 200mm.
Pump up the platform about 1cm, and carefully check how
firmly the cabinet to be transported is standing on the
platforms. It may be that the transport units will have to be
moved to another position.
Both platforms must be raised at the same time and to the
same amount. For the transport itself, the height off the
floor must be a maximum of 2cm only. When moving the
cabinets, only push the transport units and choose the
way to the cabinet’s new position so that, if possible it is
only moved lengthwise. When moving cabinets sideways,
always take the greatest care; there is a great risk of the
cabinets tilting over. avoid any pushing movements.
The cabinet being transported must not be left unattended
standing on the equipment; it must always be lowered
onto the floor. The securing straps may only be opened
when the cabinet being transported, or the platforms are
standing on the floor.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
Our hydraulic furniture mover only requires little care
and maintenance, but this must be carried out regularly
depending on it’s use. The spindles and gear wheels
must be re-greased weekly or monthly, using standard
multi-purse grease. For this, the spindle may be reached
using a bursh through the slot in the guide rail. The gear
wheels are also greased using brush, by first levering off
the gear housing lid with a screwdriver. The lid should be
pressed down firmly to close it again. The units’ function
should be tested.
