Southworth Air Bag Lift Tables
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Preparations:
1. Before you start to install the lift, check for local codes and ordinances which may apply in your area. It
is your responsibility to obtain any necessary permits.
2. Read all of these installation instructions carefully. Be sure to read and understand all of the warnings!
3. Prepare air supply to have filter regular that provides psi.
Positioning the lift:
1. Remove the shipping material and unskid the lift.
2. Move the lift into position, supporting the base frame of the lift. Mount the lift on a firm level surface and,
if necessary, insert shims to level the lift. Install lag bolts to hold the lift in place. Make sure to shim or
grout under the base frame to prevent any flexing.
NOTICE
Machine base lag anchors need to be sized for a minimum of 5000# pull-out force for each lag.
WARNING
If the lift is mounted on an unstable surface, it may tip over when in use. You may be hurt
and the lift and/or load may be damaged.
Air Line (if equipped)
: Connect airline between actuator device and supply lines.
WARNING!
Be sure the air line will not be pinched by the lift during operation. If you allow the line to be
pinched, the lift may not work properly. A hose may break, the lift may drop suddenly and
someone may be hurt.
Testing
1. Check all connections and make sure that they are tight and do not leak air.
2. Clear the area around the lift. Remove any loose wires, lumber or other material which might get in the
way of the lift as it is in use.
3. Operate the lift through its full range of travel. The lift should rise and lower smoothly and quietly. Raise
and lower the lift a few times to check the clearances around the lift table.
WARNING!
As the lift moves, “pinch points” are created. If you are standing too close to the lift when
it is moving, your arm or leg may be caught in the moving parts and you may be hurt. Stay
away from the pinch points when the lift is moving.
Complete Installation
1. Test the lift with the rated load. If the lift does not move contact Southworth for instructions.
WARNING!
Do not continue to use the lift if this happens. This can cause the lift to fail suddenly and you
may be hurt.
