OPERATION
Your ERGONOMIC 3000 has been designed to ergonomically lift and position loads, but not pallets. Pallets
have bottom boards nailed to the stringers. These can damage your ERGONOMIC 3000 because they restrict
the lifting action of the scissor legs.
The pump piston and lifting ram have a polished hard chrome finish to provide maximum seal life and
minimum leakage. Do not allow these surfaces to be nicked or pitted by abuse. A slight oil wetting of the
external parts of the pistons is normal in order to provide lubrication for the highly polished surfaces and the
seals through which they pass. Do not be alarmed at a trace of oil even on new units.
Load Center and Load Placement (Reference Layout): All loads must be placed on the back of the fork
nearest the operator to avoid tipping of loads (see diagram). In any case, do not exceed load. Load Center is
indicated on the following chart.
Neutral Position: A gentle pull on the handle engages the neutral position and the handle can be moved
without lifting of the forks. This enables you to move the ERGONOMIC 3000 from one place to another without
activating the pump.
Manual Lifting: To raise the ERGONOMIC 3000 manually, pump the handle. Your ERGONOMIC 3000 has an
automatic neutral sensor that activates the pump cylinder when pumping action is detected.
Lowering: To lower the ERGONOMIC 3000, pull on the fingertip control lever. By varying the position of the
lever, you can control the lowering speed.
Electric Lifting: Raise the ERGONOMIC 3000 by pressing and holding the raise button located on the handle.
To lower the ERGONOMIC 3000, pull on the fingertip control lever. By varying the position of the lever, you can
control the lowering speed. If your battery becomes discharged before you finish your work, you can operate
an electric ERGONOMIC 3000 manually as described above.
Remote Control: The remote control hand or foot operator must be plugged into the receptacle on the top of
the battery box. The raise and lower buttons or pedals will now operate the ERGONOMIC 3000 as indicated.
