5. Check to make sure that all Slack Safety Locks are
cleared and free. (See Fig. 14.1)
6. Continue pressing the raise button until the Cables
get taught and the lift starts to move.
7. RAISE LIFT UNTIL THE LIFT CLEARS THE
FIRST SAFETY LOCK. LOWER THE LIFT ONTO THE
SAFETIES. ADJUST EACH CABLE SO THAT EACH
SAFETY LOCK RESTS ONE INCH ABOVE THE
SAFETY LOCK. It may be necessary to tighten or loosen
each Cable to reach the proper height. The Cable Nuts
MUST be tightened until there is at least one inch of
threads protruding through the nut. (See Fig. 14.2)
All Cable Nuts MUST be tightened on each end until there
is at least one inch of threads protruding through the nut.
Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death.
NOTE:
There will be initial stretching of the cables in the
beginning and/or with increased loads. Re adjust the
Cables as outlined above after anchoring and leveling
and again a week after first use, then every three to six
months thereafter depending on usage and/or to
compensate for stretch.
8. After connecting the air supply, press the PUSH
BUTTON AIR VALVE and check that all safety locks are
functioning properly. Lower the lift by pressing the push
button air valve and power unit lowering valve simultane-
ously.
KEEP HANDS AND FEET CLEAR. Remove hands and
feet from any moving parts. Keep feet clear of lift when
lowering. Avoid pinch points.
9. Check all MAIN SAFETY LOCKS to make sure they
move freely and spring back to the lock position when
released. Lubricate all SAFETY PIVOT points with
WD-40 or equal.
10. Run the lift up and down a few times to insure that
the locks are engaging uniformly and that the safety
release mechanisms are functioning. Re-adjust if
necessary.
STEP 15
( Anchoring The Columns )
1. Before proceeding, double check the measurements
and make certain that the bases of each Column are
square and aligned with the chalk line. Raise the lift up
and down and make sure it operates properly at the
locations prescribed by the markings on the floor.
(See Fig. 15.1)
2. Using the base plate on each Column as a guide,
drill each anchor hole approximately 4-1/2” deep using a
rotary hammer drill and 3/4” concrete bit. (See Fig. 15.2)
3. After drilling, remove dust thoroughly from each hole
using compressed air and/or bristle brush. Make certain
that the Columns remain aligned with the chalk line.
