A. Preparation for Mounting (continued)
A mechanism for opening the door panel in front of the unit must also be fabricated by the apparatus
manufacturer. The actual mechanism will depend on whether the door opens down or to the side. Contact
the factory for suggestions.
B. Electrical System
Now that you are sure of your mounting position, and the boom has been cut to the proper length, you
may begin to lay out the electrical wiring (see figure 4, page 6 and figure 5, page 7). At this time it is a
good idea to remove the unit from the apparatus shelf and clamp it to a work bench so that the booms can
swing out away from the bench when lowered. unit should be mounted the same distance back from the
edge of the table as it would be on the shelf of your apparatus. Be sure the table is secured by adding a
counterweight to the other side before lowering the unit. Determine where the wires can be run so they will
not be visible from the outside of the apparatus. We recommend all electrical connections be soldered as
this method is superior to crimp connections. We further recommend that a terminal block or quick
disconnect be attached to the base casting. Wires from the hydraulic power unit (7), latch actuator (11) and
limit switch (89) should go into the terminal block. This would facilitate service to these items if required.
measure the required run lengths of the wires. (See figure 4, page 6 and figure 5, page 7 for proper wire
diameter.)
Make up a wiring harness using wires longer than the required run lengths. Temporarily make all
wire connections so you can test the system. With the table properly secured, you should be able to operate
the unit with the ladders in place. Be sure the ladders will clear the edge of the table before drilling any
holes in the apparatus.
The flashing light kit (model HLAS-fLk) must be installed. The wiring diagram and parts lists for
the flashing lights may be found on pages 10 and 11, figures 6 and 7.
