3 Using the stacker for the first time
Operate the stacker only with battery current. Rectified AC current will damage the
electronic components. The battery leads (tow cable) must be less than 6m in length.
It is forbidden to raise loads if the stacker is operated via a tow lead with an external battery.
To prepare the stacker after delivery or after transport, proceed as follows:
– Make sure the stacker’s equipment is complete and in a satisfactory condition.
– Install battery (where required). Do not damage battery cables(see Chapter D).
Set the characteristic curve (charging curve) on the charger (see Chapter D).
– Charge the battery (see Chapter D).
– If necessary, adjust the combination instrument to match the battery type(see
Chapter D).
– Commission the stacker in accordance with instructions (see Chapter E).
When the stacker is parked, the surface of the wheels will flatten. The flattening will
disappear after a short period of operation.
4 Running-in of new stacker
– The stacker should operate at low load during the initial stage of use, especially within
100 hours, and should meet the following requirements:
– It is necessary to prevent over discharge of new batteries during initial use.
– The prescribed preventive maintenance should be thorough.
– Avoid sudden braking, driving, or turning.
– Limit the weight of the load to 70% to 80% of the rated load.
– During the running-in period, the fasteners of each connecting part should be checked
and tightened frequently.
– At the end of the break-in period, the hydraulic oil should be replaced.
