4 Setting-up for Use
To assemble the equipment do the following
1. Remove all the components from the packaging.
2. Insert the mast into the socket or into the plate and connect it to the
“EARTH” electric system cable. Use a “spiral” cable to allow the rod to
rotate.
3. Insert the boom into the mast and tighten the fixing bolt to take up
slack, thus ensuring free rotation.
4. Attach the electric actuator with the motor downwards between the
rod and boom and tighten the fixing bolts until they come into contact
with the forks.
5. Disassemble the control box unit as follows (Fig.3):
• Release the battery from its support - bracket by pulling the release
handle and the battery upwards
• Pull the control box out of the bracket after removing the fixing screw
6. Attach the control box bracket to the mast and tighten the screws,
reassemble the control box unit by following the steps described above
– see paragraph 5 – in reverse order (Recharge battery for at least 24
hours before using it for the first time).
7. Connect the remote control and the actuator connectors to the control
box (Fig.3). Make sure that the pins are fully inserted, otherwise the
hoist may not work.
