directly to their benches.
Be sure to remove the level before turning on the
machine.
The level will be damaged if it gets hot.
*** Be sure to enable the following features in the SETUP Mode ***
Pneumatic lift setup
(Please refer to drawing below)
a.)
Find the safety spike (1) taped to the guide post (2). The guide post is
shipped in the down position. Remove the spike from the post and mount it into
the aluminum weight bucket (3) as shown. The spike should be flush with the
bottom of the weight bucket. Tighten set screw (4) with a 1/8” hex wrench.
b.)
Loosen the guide block set screws (5) with a 3/32” hex wrench and slide
the guide post (2) up until the bottom snap ring touches the bottom of the guide
block. Tighten the guide block set screws (5).
c.)
Connect a length of tubing (supplied) to the main solenoid valve (6).
Push the tubing into the brass fitting and pull it to seal. Attach shop air supply
(60 psi) to the other end of the tubing. Be sure to incorporate a water trap in the
air line.
d.)
(8) is the low voltage solenoid switch which controls the UP and DOWN
functions via signals from the Indexer. The main solenoid valve (6) directs air
pressure to the appropriate cylinder for UP and DOWN movement. Switch (7)
is an extra safety “lock” feature that will lock the lift in place if closed.
