•
Fully lower the platform, OR use both maintenance props to support the weight of the platform. To use the
maintenance props, raise the platform to its maximum height. Rotate both props forward so that their free ends
drop into the base frame. Lower the platform until the maintenance props slide up against the end of the frame.
•
Disconnect power and follow established lockout/tagout policies as required.
Initial inspection.
Prior to use, any new, altered, modified, or repaired scissor lift table must be inspected by a qualified person.
Perform complete daily and monthly inspections before returning the lift table to regular use. All inspected items
must be in satisfactory condition.
Daily inspection.
At the beginning of every shift, a designated person shall complete these inspections. Remove the lift table
from service and repair or replace any damaged parts if any of the following is found.
1. Look for:
a. Frayed wires.
b. Oil leaks.
c. Pinched, chafed, worn, or cracking hydraulic hoses.
d. Damage, deformation, or cracks in any structural member or any weld. Give special attention to the
hydraulic cylinder mounting brackets.
e. Loose or missing fasteners.
f. Unusual noise or evidence of binding.
g. Wobbly casters, significantly worn casters, casters that do not rotate freely, or caster brakes that do not
work.
2. Test the function of the upper travel limit switch and the perimeter toe guard.
Monthly inspection.
A qualified person must inspect the table for:
1. Adequate oil level. The oil should be 1” to 1-½” below the reservoir fill hole with the platform in the fully lowered
position. See the Annual Inspection section for the hydraulic oil specification.
2. Worn or damaged hydraulic hoses or electrical wires.
3. Wear in the pivot points on the legs.
4. Looseness or wear in the rollers.
5. Integrity of the retaining hardware on all rollers and all pivot point pins.
6. Proper functioning of any hand- or foot-operated controls/mechanisms.
7. Unusual noises or movement during operation.
8. Condition of all information, safety, and warning labels. Labels should be
undamaged, clean, and clearly legible.
9. Dirt and debris. Clean, sweep, or wipe down as needed.
Annual inspection.
Check the condition of the oil. Change the oil if it darkens, becomes gritty, or
turns a milky color (indicating the presence of water). Replace with an anti-wear
hydraulic oil with a viscosity grade of 150 SUS at 100°F (ISO 32 cSt @ 40°C),
such as AW 32, HO 150 or Dexron non-synthetic transmission fluid. You may use
a synthetic transmission fluid if you flush the system with the synthetic fluid before
filling the reservoir. 150 SUS at 100°F (ISO 32 cSt @ 40°C) or Dexron
transmission fluid.
Solenoid valve maintenance. [
Shown to the right in exploded view]
In the event that the platform creeps down slowly after releasing the “DOWN”
control, it will be necessary to remove the lowering cartridge valve for inspection
and cleaning.
1. Remove all loads from the platform.
2. Raise the platform. Lower the maintenance props into the base frame. Lower
the platform until it is entirely supported by the props.
3. The power unit is attached to the base frame in front of the handle. Located the
manifold assembly which is attached to the end of the power unit.
