ing maintenance, the pivot pint is used as a maintenance pin
to hold the table frame in the raised position. Take a look at
the mechanism and note the positions of the parts. Remove
the linch pin and remove the pivot pin. Lay the free end of
the absorber down.
6. With the help of an assistant, lift the top part of the frame
as far as it will go. Insert the maintenance pin into the lower
roller guide. See Fig. 3.
WARNING!
The maintenance pin is designed to hold the
frame of the unit in a raised position while you
insert the first spring. If you do not use the pin, it
may be unsafe to insert the spring. The frame of
the unit may drop suddenly and you may be hurt.
7. Free the front end of the table mechanism so you can tilt
the table top back. The front end of the mechanism is held
in place by a pivot shaft. This shaft supports two rollers and
is secured by a linch pin. Remove the linch pin and slide the
pin out. Note the positions of the parts.
8. Tilt the top frame assembly back as shown in Fig. 3.
Begin by mounting the largest spring (orange mark). This
spring should be placed in the back of the unit, nearest the
hinge. It does not matter which end of the spring is up. The
bottom of the spring should fit over the round support on the
base frame. The top should fit behind the small guide tab
shown in Fig. 3. Once the spring is in place, slowly lower
the table top mechanism. Check each end of the spring to
be sure it has seated correctly.
9. Re-attach the pivot shaft at the front of the unit. Re-
member to place the roller wheels in the guide slots. Insert
the linch pin to hold the pivot shaft in place.
10. The single orange spring will now hold the unit up.
Re-attach the shock absorber by inserting the pivot pin and
inserting the linch pin. Place the rotating ring back on the
top frame. Check to be sure the ring can rotate freely.
Table 1 and Table 2 may indicate that one or two additional
springs must be installed. To do this, remove the spring
cap(s) and insert the spring(s) through the top of the unit.
See Fig. 4 to check the placement. To remove a cap, turn it
counter-clockwise and lift upward. Insert the spring through
the opening. Again, it does not matter which end of the
spring is up. Replace the spring lock cap and turn clockwise
to lock it.
11. Before using the unit, make a safety check. Be sure that
each of the spring lock caps is firmly in place. Check the top
and bottom of each spring to be sure it is seated correctly.
Check the linch pin at the top of the shock absorber, and the
linch pin at the end of the pivot shaft. These checks are very
important.
WARNING!
If the springs are not seated correctly, or the
spring lock caps are not tightened, the parts
may pop loose when the unit is used. You may
be hurt or the load may be damaged.
