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.
