DANGER
The lifts electrical circuits use voltages, which can cause SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY or DEATH. DO NOT
work with the electrical components unless you are a QUALIFIED ELECTRICAN
1.
Using a fork lift or similar equipment, move the palletized lift to the location it is to be installed. The installation area should be clean and
have good general lighting
.
2.
Next, using the strap cutter, remove the bands securing the lift to the pallet. Remove all packing material and place it off to the side.
3.
Locate a separate box that contains the hand control or optional foot control. This box is located under the primary packaging material at
the end of the base frame. Remove the hand or foot control with the control cord from the box. Next, insert the control cord disconnect
plug into the mating receptacle at the end of the base frame. Ensure the plug is fully connected and the locking tabs are positioned over
the posts on the disconnect receptacle.
4.
Locate the power cord attached to the lift’s base frame.
115 Volt Power Units
- All 115 volt lifts are supplied with a power cord plug for use with a conventional 115 volt (20 amp) receptacle.
Ensure the receptacle to be used is rated for 115 volt, 20 amp operation. Insert the plug into the receptacle.
All Other Voltage Power Units
- A power plug is not supplied with the lift, due to the many different types of electrical outlets. Next, have
a QUALIFIED ELECTRICAN install an electrical plug of the proper style and rating on the power cord. Ensure both the power source and
outlet have the proper amperage rating for the lift’s electric motor. Finally, insert the plug into the electrical outlet.
5.
Using the hand control, depress the UP button to raise the lift to its maximum raised height. In the case of a foot control, depress the UP
pedal to raise the lift to its maximum raised height. Following the maintenance bar operating instructions, rotate the maintenance bars into
the maintenance position. DO NOT lower the lift to engage the maintenance bars at this time.
6.
Using a forklift, position the forks under the platform structure, as detailed in Figure 7. Lift the LK lift off the pallet. Next, remove the pallet
and place if off to the side. Position the lift in the desired location. Use care not to damage the lift’s power cord or control cord.
The
OPTIMUS
base frame must be secured to the fl oor for maximum
stability. Contact your Dealer or Bishamon Industries Corporation if
you have any questions regarding the proper installation of the lift.
Complete steps 7 and 8 to secure the lift to the fl oor.
7.
Inside the base frame are four (4) 5/8 in. holes for lagging the
unit securely to the fl oor. Using the four (4) holes as a template,
drill a 1/2 in. diameter hole, 3 in. minimum depth at each
location. The fl oor surface should be level and the drilled holes
perpendicular to the fl oor. If required, shift the position of the lift
with a forklift to allow room for drilling, then drill. When complete,
reposition the lift.
8.
As detailed in Figure 8, prepare the 1/2 in. diameter x 4 in. long
anchor bolts (USE type SUP-R-STUD #26-12400 or equivalent)
by assembling the washer and nut on the anchor bolt. The nut
should be screwed onto the anchor bolt approximately 1/2 the
nut height. Drive the assembled anchor through the mounting
hole into the concrete until the washer is fl ush with the top of
the anchor plate. Expand the anchor shield by tightening the
nut three (3) to fi ve (5) turns. Repeat step 8 for the remaining
anchors. NOTE: Make sure the underside of the base frame
surface is fully supported with shims or concrete grout.
9.
Rotate the maintenance bars to their stored position and run the
lift up and down several times to remove any air that may have
been trapped in the hydraulic system due to shipping.
10.
The lift is now ready for operation. Refer to the following section
for complete operating instructions.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Raising the Lift Platform
1.
Before raising the platform, BE SURE that all others are well
clear of the lift. If the platform is loaded, RECHECK the position
and condition of the load.
2.
As shown in Figures 9 and 10, depress the UP button or pedal
to raise the platform to a convenient position. CONTINUOUSLY
WATCH the condition of the load as the platform is raised. If the
load appears to be shifting, STOP, lower the platform and adjust
the load.
