OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS – EHLTG
•
Consult ANSI MH29.1, Section 12 for the owner’s / user’s responsibilities regarding the operation, care, and
maintenance of this machine.
•
Ensure that all employees involved in the operation of this lift understand and follow these instructions!
The standard model EHLTG is suitable for use indoors in most industrial locations and many commercial locations.
It is intended to be used to elevate stable, nonhazardous loads having a size or footprint no larger than the
dimensions indicated in the model number.
Loading:
The load rating, in pounds, is shown on the machine dataplate located on the hinged end of the platform. It indicates
the net capacity of the scissor lift with a static load that is centered and evenly distributed on the platform.
When not fully lowered, the lift’s maximum single axle load rating is 60% of the full-load capacity for end loading. (The
hydraulic hose and the bridge plates are at the lift’s “end.”)
Do not exceed a rate of two feet per second when moving loads across the platform.
Note: The addition of any ancillary equipment to the machine by third parties must be taken into account when
determining the maximum working load to be placed on the platform.
Warning: Do not exceed the lift’s load ratings. Injury to personnel and/or permanent damage to the lift could result from
exceeding the listed capacity.
Operation:
Inspect the perimeter pinch point guard’s operation daily.
Warning: Keep all personnel clear of the machine when it is in operation. Be certain no part of any person or object is
under any part of the platform before lowering the unit.
Caution: Always watch the load and the lift’s sides carefully when the lift is in operation.
The zero-clearance scissor lift is furnished with either a constant-pressure (dead-man style) twin foot switch (standard) or
push-button (optional) control.
Pressing the “UP” foot switch or push-button will turn on the power unit to raise the platform. The platform will raise
only while the control is pressed. Upon releasing the control, the platform will stop and hold its position.
Pressing the “DOWN” foot switch or push-button will energize the lowering valve to allow the platform to descend by
gravity (the motor does not run). Again, releasing the control will stop the platform movement, and the unit will hold its
position.
Caution: Never use the lift if any damage or unusual noise is observed, if it is in need of repairs, or if it seems to be
malfunctioning. Notify your supervisor or maintenance personnel if you notice anything out of the ordinary.
Ensure that all safety and warning labels stay in place and are legible. Refer to the labels page in this manual.
