require tightening. Since the brake can be released with either the tow bar or push handles, both
systems should be checked. Adjust each brake release system individually (4 cables overall).
Retighten all cable adjustment locking nuts.
If the brakes do not provide sufficient braking force when the push handles and tow bar are
released, the following adjustment should be performed.
a) With the tow bar and push handles released, check that both cables to each brake lever are
slack.
b) If one or more cables are still tight, check that there is no damage to the cables or the lift
that may have caused this tension. Check the routing of the cables. If no damage is present
and the routing is correct, adjust the tight cable(s) until slack. Check that the brake is still
clear of the tire when the brake is released and retighten all cable adjustment locking nuts.
IV. Outrigger Paralleling Cable Adjustment
The two paralleling cables on each side of the lift should be adjusted together so that the
outriggers reach the extension and retraction limits at the same time.
The cables should be adjusted to provide enough tension to stay on their sheaves but be loose
enough that they do not bind.
Be sure to retighten all cable anchor locking nuts and run the outriggers through at least one full
cycle after adjustment to check function.
Springs
Two springs are used to counterbalance the load of the deck platform. These components are designed
to provide trouble-free operation and long life. Should a spring break, the deck crank will become
difficult to operate, but the lift does not have to be taken out of service.
Since the spring systems can
store large amounts of energy, improper servicing can result in serious bodily injury . In all cases,
contact Adaptive Engineering for replacement parts and procedures.
Gas Cylinders
Gas cylinders (also known as gas springs) are used to assist with raising the lift onto its wheels. If the
cranking force to raise the lift onto its wheels becomes too high one or more of the gas cylinders may
need replacing.
Since gas cylinders can store large amounts of energy, improper servicing can
result in serious bodily injury. In all cases, contact Adaptive Engineering for replacement parts and
procedures.
IMPORTANT:
•
Do not attempt to replace or adjust the steel springs or gas cylinders without complete and
proper instructions from Adaptive Engineering Ltd.
