MAINTENANCE BAR OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

To Engage The Maintenance Bars:

 

1. 

Remove all load from the platform and raise the lift table to its fully-raised position.

 

2. 

Move to the roller end of the lift.  As detailed in Figure 4, rotate each maintenance bar approximately 90° until the bar contacts the roller 
channel.  Ensure both bars are positioned correctly. 

 

3. 

Lower the lift by depressing the DOWN button or pedal.  The lift will lower slightly until the scissors rollers contact the maintenance bars.  
Release the DOWN button or pedal.  ALWAYS check the position of both maintenance bars before going under the platform or servicing the 
lift.

Figure 5  Maintenance Bar Operation

To Disengage The Maintenance Bars:

 

5. 

Depress the UP button or pedal to raise the platform to its fully-raised position.  When the lift is fully raised, release the UP button or pedal.

 

6. 

Move to the roller end of the lift and rotate each maintenance bar approximately 90° to its stored position.  As shown in Figure 5, ENSURE 
both bars are in their stored position.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

The OPTIMUS LK Series lift table is shipped on a pallet and only requires minor assembly before it is ready for use.  Before you begin, locate and 
identify the components detailed in Figure 6.  These components will be referred to in the installation procedures.  Make sure you understand the 
function of each component proceeding.

Figure 7  Installation Components

Power Cord

 - All OPTIMUS lift tables are supplied with an eight (8) ft 

power cord of the proper size and rating for the hydraulic power unit. 

Power Cord Plug

 – All 115 volt lifts are supplied with a power cord plug 

for use with a conventional 115 volt (20 amp) receptacle.  For all other 
voltages, the power cord plug is supplied by others.  A QUALIFIED 
ELECTRICAN must install an electrical plug of the proper style and rating 
on the power cord.

Hand Control with Control Cord Disconnect Plug

 – All OPTIMUS lift 

tables are supplied with a hand control, Figure 9 (or optional foot control, 
Figure 10) that is used to raise or lower the lift.  The control cord is ten 
(10) feet long and is supplied with molded control cord disconnect plug on 
the end.  

Control Cord Disconnect Receptacle

 - All OPTIMUS lift tables are 

supplied with a control cord disconnect.  The female receptacle is located 
at the power unit end of the base frame.  

Reservoir Breather

 - All OPTIMUS lift tables are supplied with hydraulic 

fl uid in the reservoir.  The breather is conveniently located on top of the 
reservoir near the end of the lift table and must be removed to check the 
fl uid level or to add hydraulic fl uid.

Base Frame Anchor Holes

 – Four (4) predrilled base frame anchor 

holes are provided inside the base frame to secure the lift to the fl oor or 
installation surface.

Tools Required

 

1. 

Banding or Strap Cutters

 

2. 

Drill with 1/2” concrete drill

 

3. 

3/4” closed end wrench
