Loading / Unloading the Lift Platform
1.
Check the load or component weight to ensure the total load does not exceed the capacity of the lift. Refer to the capacity decal on the
end of the lift platform.
2.
If required, raise the platform to a convenient working height.
3.
Uniformly distribute the load over the platform or supporting surface and ensure the load is tightly stacked.
WARNING
DO NOT concentrate the load at one point on the pallet or platform. ALWAYS uniformly distribute each
layer of load over the supporting surface. DO NOT use the lift table with an unstable, unbalanced or
loosely stacked load. Unbalanced loads may become unstable and fall. SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY and
PROPERTY DAMAGE could result.
DO NOT overload the lift table. ALWAYS stay within the designated capacity ratings. SEVERE PERSONAL
INJURY and PROPERTY DAMAGE could result.
Lowering the lift Platform
1.
Before lowering the platform, BE SURE that you, as well as all others, are well clear of the lift. If the platform is loaded, RECHECK the
position and condition of the load.
2.
Depress the DOWN button or pedal (see Figures 9 and 10) to lower the lift platform. CONTINUOUSLY WATCH the condition of the load as
the platform is lowering. If the load appears to be shifting, STOP and adjust the load.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
The OPTIMUS lift table is designed to provide years of trouble free service and requires very little maintenance. However, a routine inspection and
maintenance program will prevent costly replacement of parts and/or downtime. All service should be performed by a qualifi ed service person who
has an understanding of lift equipment and hydraulic diagrams. This person should be thoroughly familiar with the operation and use of this type of
equipment.
DANGER
A falling lift table can cause SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY or DEATH. NEVER go under the platform until the
load is removed and the scissors mechanism is secured in the raised position with the maintenance bars.
The maintenance bars have been designed for use only when the lift is UNLOADED. NEVER place any
load on the platform with the maintenance bars engaged. SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY or DEATH and
PROPERTY DAMAGE could result.
