and for any damage. If there are visible defects, the components
should not be used. Damaged parts must be replaced.
Since the manual furniture mover consists of two parts, it is
necessary for two persons to operate them.
Before transporting furniture, the platforms should be wound down to
the floor until the transport units are standing vertically. If the furniture
to be transported has an overhang at the level of the upper support,
this supported may be screwed in or out, adjust it until the transport is
standing level. If this adjustment option is not sufficient, or, when the
platforms are lowered, the transport unit cannot lean against the
furniture, these must not be used to transport it.
Push the platforms of the units under the side faces (narrow side) of
the piece of furniture until the upper and lower supports are resting
against it. The centers of the platforms must be beneath the center of
gravity of the furniture.
Place the securing straps in position with the edge protectors at the
edges of the furniture. Pull the straps tight. The straps will connect
both units and, when used correctly, prevent them from slipping out of
position. Wind up the platforms about 1cm, and carefully check how
firmly the piece furniture is standing on the platforms. It may be that
the transport units will have to be moved to anther position.
Both platforms must be raised at the same amount.
For the transport itself, the height off the floor must be a maximum of
2cm only. When moving the furniture, only push the transport units,
and choose the way to the furniture
＇
s new position so that, if possible,
the furniture is only moved lengthwise. When moving furniture
sideways, always take the greatest care; there is a great risk of the
furniture tilting over. Avoid any jerky pushing movements.
The article being transported must not be left unattended standing on
the equipment; it must always be lowered onto the floor.
6. Care and Maintenance
This Manual Furniture Mover only requires little care and
maintenance, but this must be carried out regularly. Depending on its
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 brush 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.
