STEP 19
Start Up
1] Make sure the reservoir is filled with
AW-32 hydraulic oil .
2] Spray inside corners of columns, where the guide blocks slide, with lithium grease.
3] Press the “UP” switch on the power unit. Lift will slowly raise.
IF THE LIFT DOES NOT RAISE
CHECK hose connections:
Fluid should be pumping through the hose connected to the Power Unit.
CHECK fluid level:
Verify pick-up tube inside reservoir is connected to pump.
CHECK electrical connection:
Verify 220v, 20@, 1ph connection is properly wired.
CHECK Power Unit Priming:
See “ Priming Procedure ”, page 20.
NOTE: There will be some initial stretching of the cables in the beginning.
It will be necessary to re-adjust the cables a week after first use.
Then every six (6) months thereafter.
4] Run the lift up and down a few times to bleed the hydraulic system then top off the reservoir
with the lift in the fully lowered position.
5] Be sure that both carriage locks are clicking simultaneously and that the arm safety
mechanisms are functioning properly. Re-adjust the cables until the carriage locks click in sync if
necessary. This is accomplished by tightening the cable on the side that is clicking first.
STEP 20
Bleeding the Hydraulic System
(Fig. 22)
1] Raise the lift all the way up. (Release the button once lift travels as far a sit can and stops.)
2] “Crack” the bleeder valve at the top of the main-side cylinder (approximately ¼ -turn).
3] You should hear air escape.
4] Tighten the bleeder valve.
5] Repeat the process for the bleeder valve at the top of the off-side cylinder.
6] Lower, and raise lift.
7] If lift shudders on descent/ascent; bleed again as necessary; until air is removed from system.
8] When the lift travels up and down smoothly, bleeding is finished.
