10.
RAISE THE LIFTING PLATFORM
Review steps 2-8 to make sure you
haven’t
missed any
assembly steps. All screws must be tight
except the lag
screws
that hold the mounting rails to the deck. They
should be loose enough that the rails can be moved
freely the distance that the slotted holes allow.
10-1.
Make sure the power cord and control cords are
clear of the lift opening and are not wrapped around the
housing or the housing legs (Fig. 34).
10-2.
Plug in the power cord (Fig. 34) to the power outlet.
10-3.
Stand clear of the lift and keep your hands clear.
Turn the main power switch to
“ON”
so it is lighted red.
Turn ON your control device as explained in Step 9.
Press the
“UP”
direction switch and watch as the platform
comes up. When the platform enters the opening, jog the
“UP” direction switch to move the platform in small
increments, watching to make sure that it does not catch
or bind on the opening. (If the platform hangs in the
opening, correct any causes before continuing the
operation.)
10-4.
When the platform comes all the way up, it will lift
the upper limit switch lever (see Fig 33a), stopping the
motor and the platform before it can impact the Lift Head.
The platform should be approximately level with the floor.
11.
ADJUST THE MOUNTING RAILS
Adjust the mounting rails to center the lifting platform in
the opening. Mark the platform center by measuring
22”
in from either end and making a small mark (see Fig. 35).
11.1
The mounting rail holes are slotted for adjustment.
Push both mounting rails inward against the platform and
move the rails and platform left or right until the platform
center marks are aligned with the opening center marks.
11.2
With the platform centered and the rails pressed
up against each side of the platform,
tighten the (4) lag
screws on the
first
mounting rail, but
don’t
over-tighten!
Place a
1/16”
to
1/8”
shim spacer between the
second
mounting rail and the platform legs and tighten the
remaining (4) lag screws (see Fig. 35).
Note: a strip of single-wall corrugated is a good shim.
11.3
Remove the shim spacers and check your work:
The platform assembly should freely move front-to-
back between the guide spacers and side-to-side
between the mounting rails 1/16”
to
1/8”.

Turn off the key or power switch and unplug the
power cord before proceeding to the next steps.
