1. Have a certified electrician run the power supply to
motor. Refer to the data plate found on the motor for
proper power supply and wire size.
RISK OF EXPLOSION
This equipment has internal arcing or parts that may
spark and should not be exposed to flammable vapors.
Motor should not be located in a recessed area or below
floor level. NEVER expose motor to rain or other damp
environments. DAMAGE TO MOTOR CAUSED BY
WATER IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.
STEP 13
( Inspecting The Slack Safety Springs )
The following steps involve the SLACK CABLE SAFETY
DEVICE and MAIN SAFETY. Failure to follow these
steps could result in serious injury or death in the event
of cable failure.
1. Inspect the ends of the ALL SAFETY LOCK
SPRINGS as shown. Make sure the spring ends are
secure at both ends.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RAISE
THE LIFT UNTIL THE SLACK SAFETY SPRINGS ARE
ATTACHED AND THE ROLLERS ARE PULLED
CLEAR FROM THE LADDER.
(See Fig. 13.1)
2. Repeat this step for each corner of the lift.
STEP 14
( Lift Start Up / Final Adjustments )
1. Make sure the Power Unit reservoir is full with 12
quarts of 10-WT hydraulic oil or Dexron-III automatic
transmission fluid.
2. Spray the inside of the Columns where the Slide
Blocks glide with a light lubricant or WD-40.
3. Test the Power Unit by pressing the push-button
switch. If the motor sounds like it is operating properly,
raise the lift and check all Hose connections for leaks. If
the motor gets hot or sounds peculiar, stop and check all
electrical connections.
4. Before proceeding, double-check to make sure all
cables are properly positioned within the grooves of ALL
Sheaves. Make sure all Cable Sheave retaining Pins
and/or Clips are secure.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
CAUTION Never operate the motor on line voltage
less than 208V. Motor damage may occur which is not
covered under warranty. Have a certified electrician run
appropriate power supply to motor. Size wire for 25amp
circuit. See Motor Operating Data Table.
IMPORTANT: Use separate circuit for each power unit.
Protect each circuit with time delay fuse or circuit break-
er. For single phase 208-230V, use 25 amp fuse.
Three phase 208-230V, use 20 amp fuse. For three
phase 400V and above, use 15 amp fuse. All wiring
must comply with NEC and all local electrical codes.
