Unpacking Procedure
Remove all plastic wrap and cardboard. Be careful not to cut into the lower hydraulic
hoses and fittings or to scratch the paint or damage the safety decals.
Use a 13 mm wrench remove the forklift brackets attached on the top of the carriage and /
or the column sides.
Carefully open the parts carton, avoid cutting the enclosed communication cables.
Remove all of the cables, column cover, spare parts and document packet.
Preparing Lift for Initial Startup
To transport the columns to a location in the repair facility for setup requires that the lifts be
moved. To easily move the columns, raise and lower the trolley handle in a pumping motion 3-
5 times until the inner lower column edge is lifted from the floor. You can now maneuver the
lifts to any location by pulling the trolley handle to the desired location. Once you have moved
the lifts into position squeeze the release lever to lower the column to the floor. The lifts will
not operate unless the columns are lowered.
Installing the column covers: Inside the parts carton are four (4) column covers that should be
fitted and bolted to the open column tops using the provided bolts, washers and lock washers.
Adding hydraulic oil: To open the column main door, move the trolley handle to the extreme
right position to prevent the door from hitting the handle when opened. Use the 6 mm allen
wrench and remove the 3 door bolts on the left side of the column and open the main lift
cabinet. The hydraulic power unit tank will have a red plastic plug in the top opening and black
breather plug on the bottom outer edge of the tank. Remove both items and put the red plug
in the bottom hole. (The tank does not have a drain hole) Use a clean funnel and add new
hydraulic oil (AW-
32) to the tank and fill to approx. 2” from the top of the tank fill hole. The
approx. amount of oil per column is shown below:
ML-4030BC 13 Quarts / 12.3 Liters
ML-6045BC 13 Quarts / 12.3 Liters
ML-4034BC 15 Quarts / 14.3 Liters
ML-6051BC 15 Quarts / 14.3 Liters
Install the black breather cap in the top of the tank. Close cabinet door and secure with the top
and bottom bolts. The center bolt secures the battery charger bay door and does not need to
be re-installed. (If the battery charger door tends to stay open,
then loosely re-install the bolt by hand to secure the door thereby making future battery
charging procedures faster)
Note:
The hydraulic system was tested during manufacturing. Each hydraulic cylinder and the
power unit tank was filled and cycled to test for leaks and for performance. During this
process the hydraulic cylinders were bleed to remove any air. The hydraulic oil was removed
from the tank after testing. Because residual oil at the bottom of the tank and inside the
cylinder remain, additional hydraulic system
bleeding is not necessary
.
Battery charging: The LCD display panel will advise you if the batteries need to be charged.
To charge the batteries open the battery charger access door on the left side of the column by
