1 Overview
TAWI Lifting Trolleys provide lifting and transportation aid for loads up to 250kg (551lbs). The lifters can be
equipped with different tools that have battery driven lifting and lowering capabilities. The user moves the lifter
by pushing it, and prevents it from moving when stationary with the aid of brakes.
The lifters are available in seven different models, mainly differing in lifting capacity: PRO40, PRO80, PRO140,
PRO180, PRO250, PRO100ESE and PRO200ESE. This chapter presents an overview illustration of the lifters
and a table containing characteristics of the different models. Important information about how to load the lift-
ers is also provided.

Loading
The max lifting capacity of the lifters depends on where the mass centre of the load is located in terms of x and
y distances. The graphs in the load diagrams display allowed x-distances and the text above each load diagram
presents allowed y-distances.
Valid for y-distances between 0 - 1640mm (0 - 64.5in).

Fasten tools on the sleigh
Sometimes tools are attached at delivery. If not, at-
tach the tool to the sleigh with at least three screws.
Select which holes to use in order to get the desired
max and min lifting heights.
1. Align the selected holes for attachment on the
tool with the ones on the sleigh.
2. Fasten with at least three screws.
2 Quick start
This chapter presents how to fasten tools and how to start the lifter.

class 8.8) (ft/lb)
PRO 40 and PRO80 M6 10 Nm

PRO250 M10 47 Nm
(34.6 ft/lb)
• Make sure the screws are fastened correctly
and that the correct torque is applied on
each screw.
• Make sure the screws are dimensioned to
carry the weight of the tool plus the max load.
• When fastening EasySqueeze arms, use four
screws (type M8) per arm.
Lift the lifter
To transport the lifter by lifting it, fasten a sling in the
handle according to illustration and lift.

3 User instructions
This chapter describes how to operate the TAWI Lifting Trolleys.
• A damaged power cord could cause electrical shock.
• Never touch any parts inside the battery pack when charging. Touching electrical parts can cause an
electric shock.
Charge the battery
The battery can be charged with the battery pack attached or detached from the lifter. The battery can not be
overcharged or charged too often. It is recommended to charge the battery as soon as it is not in use.
Start the lifter
Make sure that the wheels rotate smoothly, that the brakes on the rear wheels are functioning properly and that
the battery is charged. Review and perform relevant inspections. See Daily inspections by operator on page
20, Quarterly inspections by inhouse maintenance on page 21 and Yearly inspections by TAWI authorised
service technician on page 21.
1. Press the main switch to turn the power on.
»Response: The battery status display flashes for approximately three seconds and is thereafter lit.
2. The lifter is now ready for use.
• The lifter can be stopped at any time by pressing the emergency stop on the control panel.
• Only run the lifter when it is completely assembled.
• Check the lifter for safe functionality prior to each use, for instructions, see Inspections on page 20.
• The lifters has overload protection which will prevent tools from being raised when the specified max
load is exceeded. If the overload protection is activated, reduce the load and try again.

Charge with battery pack attached
1. Connect the power cord to a grounded electri-
cal outlet (100 - 240 V, 50 - 60 Hz).
2. When the battery is charged, pull the power
cord out of the electric outlet and fasten it in its
holder on the mast.
Charge with battery pack detached
1. Grab the battery pack handle and lift vertically
to detach it from the lifter.
2. Place the battery in a designated dry area for
charging.
3. Connect the power cord to a grounded electri-
cal outlet (100 - 240 V, 50 - 60 Hz).
4. When the battery is charged, pull the power
cord out of the electric outlet.
5. Place the battery back into position.
6. Fasten the power cord in its holder on the mast.
• The lifter can be switched on or off when charging the battery. It is recommended that the lifter is
switched off.
• To make sure not to damage the cord when pulling it out of the electrical outlet - grab, and apply the
force to the plug.
• It is recommended to charge the battery in a full cycle, however the battery system can be plugged in
for a longer period, since it cannot be overcharged. See Battery charging indicator on page 9.
• Never operate the lifter when the battery is charging (plugged in).
• The battery system has to be charged in a grounded electrical outlet.
• Charge the battery in a designated dry area.
• Normal charging of the battery creates very small amounts of hydrogen. However, the casing is venti-
lated, and thereby the risk of hydrogen collection is minimal.

Rear wheels separately braked (PRO40)
Engage or disengage the brakes on both rear
wheels.
A. Neutral
B. Brake
Central brake (all models except PRO40)
The central brake has three positions; brake, re-
lease, and directional lock. Directional lock means
that the rear wheels are locked in a fixed position,
only allowing the lifter to move straight forward
and straight backwards. This feature keeps the lifter
steady and is helpful when it is transported a rela-
tively long distance.
A. Directional lock
B. Neutral
C. Brake
Always apply brakes when loading and unloading.
Apply brakes to the lifter
There are two different brake options depending on the model of the lifter; rear wheels separately braked or
central brake.
