Operation.
At the beginning of every shift, inspect the perimeter toe guard for correct operation. First raise the platform.
Push and hold a section of the perimeter toe guard up against the platform. The platform should not move when
the “LOWER” button is pressed. Perform this check on all four sides of the platform.
Check the condition of the guards, controls, scissor mechanism, hydraulic lines, and limit switches. If any item
is in need of repair or otherwise contributes to an unsafe condition, remove the lift table from service until it is
restored to
RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION
Carefully push the table to the desired location. Only travel over even, level, improved surfaces capable of
supporting the weight of the table plus a full capacity load. Apply both caster brakes whenever the table is
stationary. Both brakes must be applied whenever the tabletop is raised or lowered.
Each standard EHLTP portable scissor lift table includes an electric-hydraulic power unit and a handheld
pushbutton controller.
•
Press the “RAISE” pushbutton to energize the power unit and raise the platform. The
platform rises only while the pushbutton is pressed. When the pushbutton is released,
the platform will stop and hold its position. At the platform’s maximum height, a limit
switch prevents the platform from further raising.
•
Press the “LOWER” pushbutton to open the hydraulic valve and lower the platform. The
platform descends by gravity, i.e. the pump motor does not run. Release the pushbutton
to stop the descent. The platform will maintain position until either pushbutton (RAISE or
LOWER) is pressed. If the perimeter toe guard encounters an object, the valve will close
and prevent further descent of the platform.
•
Hydraulic overload protection prevents the power unit from attempting to raise a load that exceeds the capacity of
your table.
•
Lowering speed is preset at the factory and cannot exceed 30 fpm. In the event of a hydraulic system failure, e.g.
ruptured hose, a velocity fuse activates and prevents the platform from lowering. The fuse is integrated into the
lifting cylinder.
Always watch the area around the platform as well as the load on the platform when the
table is operating.
Never use the lift table if any damage or unusual noise is observed, if it is in need of repair,
or if any other malfunction is observed. Immediately remove it from service and notify your
supervisor or maintenance personnel about the issue(s) you observed.
Keep all personnel clear of the machine when it is in operation. Before operating the lift
table, make certain no part of any person or object is under the platform.
Guards shall be in place before operating the lift table.
Guards cannot protect against every possible condition and should not be considered a
substitute for good judgment and care in use, loading, handling, storage, etc. of the lift
table.
