7 USAGE
In order to utilise the qualities of the lifting trolley to the greatest effect and to prevent injury,
it is vital that you read through these instructions carefully and that you use the trolley in
the correct way.
Mechanical construction
The Newton lifting trolley consists of a mast with accompanying chassis and battery unit
with charger. Lift is achieved through a battery driven motor that transfers the lift force to
the lifting device via a chain.
The driving handle is designed for a range of grips.
Two (2) maintenance-free batteries 12 V DC, and charger for connection to single phase,
230 V, 50 Hz power point are included.
See Section 6, "Safe use", with respect to safe conditions and risks when handling
the machine and its load!
7.1 Transport
The lifting trolley is fitted with four easy-turning, revolving wheels of which two function as
parking brakes. When the lifting trolley is not being used for moving, the brakes on the two
wheels that have brakes must always be applied. The load bed must always be in its
lowest position when transporting goods with the lifting trolley.
Never transport goods when the load bed is in raised position.
7.2 Manoeuvring the load bed
The main switch must be ON in order to manoeuvre the load bed.
7.3 What to do after use
The lifting trolley may be left in raised position following a completed work task, providing
this does not cause any undue inconvenience or risks.
We recommend that the load bed is lowered as a rule to bottom position following
completed work task.
Switch off the main switch and ensure that there is no unauthorised use.
On the Newton 50 the main
switch (OFF/ON) is located on
the motor housing. The external
control device (UP/DOWN) is
fitted with a coiled cable.
On the Newton 70 - 250 the load bed is manoeuvred Up and
Down using the control unit.
The main switch (OFF/ON) is located under the control unit.
Remember to always have full supervision of the machine
and all parts of the load when manoeuvring.
