Always use proper Lifting tools, such as a forklift or crane, to raise heavy
components. Do not install this equipment without reading and understanding this
manual and the safety labels on the unit.
Only fully trained personnel should be involved in installing this equipment. Pay attention at all times.

⚠
WARNING
You must wear appropriate protective equipment: leather gloves, non-skid steel-
toed work boots, eye protection, back belts, and hearing protection.
Plan Ahead for Electrical Work
You will need to have a licensed, certified Electrician available at some point during the installation. All
of the tasks listed below must be performed by an Electrician.
⚠
DANGER All wiring must be performed by a licensed, certified Electrician. If someone who is
not a certified Electrician attempts these tasks, they could damage the Lift or be
electrocuted, resulting in serious injury or even death.
The Electrician needs to:
•
Wire the 220 VAC power source to the Power Unit
. This is generally done near the end
of the installation process; do not connect the Power Unit at the same time as you install it.
•
Wire the Microswitch to the Power Unit
. This is generally done at the same time as the
Electrician wires the power source to the Power Unit, as the Microswitch wiring goes between the
incoming power source and the Electrical Box on the Power Unit.
• Install a Power Disconnect Switch . A Power Disconnect Switch ensures that the equipment
shuts down in the event of an electrical circuit fault or emergency situation. Refer to
Install a
Power Disconnect Switch for more information.
• Install a Thermal Disconnect Switch . A Thermal Disconnect Switch ensures that the
equipment shuts down in the event of an overload or an overheated motor. Refer to
Install a
Thermal Disconnect Switch for more information.
The Electrician is responsible for providing:
•
an appropriate power cable and plug for connecting to the power source
(wiring to connect the Microswitch to the Power Unit is included)
• a Power Disconnect Switch
• a Thermal Disconnect Switch
Additional information is supplied in the sections describing these tasks.
