the gate opening with the platform.
6. Use the holes in the gate threshold to screw
the gate down to the landing.
7. Run the wire through the wire routing slot and
to the interlock.
8. Strip the wire conductors.
9. Connect the tower wires to the interlock wires
as shown. See Figure 4-8.

FASCIA PANEL
INSTALLATION
The fascia panel sections are available in 53
"
and
24
"
heights and 41
"
and 49
"
widths. Custom fascia
panel heights can be special ordered. Fascia panels
must provide a smooth surface for the platform
edge to run against to prevent any shear or
obstruction hazards. They must be fastened beneath
the opening and adjacent to each other with no
overlapping or gaps between them.
The upper landing of a deck with an opening
underneath requires a fascia wall.
NOTE: It may be necessary to stud up the wall to give the
fascia panel something to fasten to.
Once the structure is in place, fasten the fascia
panel to it.
Use temporary power and the platform control box to
run the lift up and down to check for a horizontal gap
between the upper landing and the platform. The gap
must be no less than 3/8
"
and no greater than 3/4
"
.
SETTING THE UPPER LIMIT
SWITCH
Typically only the upper limit switch will need to be
adjusted.
Raise the platform so it is level with the upper
landing.
Loosen the bolts on the upper limit switch assembly.
Slide the assembly down until the switch makes
contact with the carriage and makes a clicking
sound. Re-tighten the bolts. See Figure 4-9.
