Installing Optional Ceiling Closure
If your Scissor Lift SLX is equipped with optional ceiling closure, it can be used
as is, or in conjunction with a square of existing ceiling tile (see Fig. 5)
.
1
If installing with ceiling tile, you may need to cut tile so that its overall
dimensions are the same as (or slightly less than) the closure panel. Place tile
into trim frame. Lay closure panel on top (back side) of ceiling tile, and tighten
screws to hold in place.
2
Attach provided angle brackets to side of Bottom Panel of Scissor Lift SLX.

rods even with ceiling level and cut to length (remove from pan if convenient).
5
Run unit “down” until bottom pan stops at “show” position.
6
Attach closure to lower end of

secure with nuts above and below slots.
Caution: Make sure nuts are completely tightened.
7
Run unit “up” again to highest position. Measure distance by which panel fails to
reach required “closed” height for surrounding ceiling.
8
Run unit “down” then re-adjust mounting of
5

" rods in traveling grid to raise
panel required distance.
9
Test unit operation to confirm that panel will stop in closed position just before
touching ceiling.
Caution: DO NOT hang from, "ride" or pull down on the unit. This could
create a failure and cause damage and/or injury.
PLEASE NOTE: Immediately upon completion of the surrounding ceiling,
unit should be operated to confirm that optional ceiling closure panel by
Draper or by others stops

" short of touching ceiling in closed position.
If closure panel touches, the motor may continue operating after the lift is
closed. If it continues to cycle once the lift is closed, a motor failure may
occur.

Installing Optional Ceiling Trim Kit
The Scissor Lift SLX is available with a ceiling trim kit, which consists of
the lower section of the Environmental Air Space Housing and the optional
closure panel
(see Fig. 6).
Install Scissor Lift SLX as previously described in these instructions.
Install bottom section of Environmental Air Space housing and Trim Ring in
opening. This can be accomplished by suspending with wire, or by mounting
directly to the ceiling joists (if space permits).
Install projector and attach optional ceiling closure to Scissor Lift SLX,
according to the instructions included in this document.

Installing Projector Using Universal Projector Mount
The universal projector mount includes:
-2 x long arms
-4 x short arms
-4 x M3, 4 x M4, 4 x M5 and 4 x M6 mounting bolts (30mm in length)
-4 spacers (½" [13 mm],

1
Determine which size mounting bolts suit your projector, and set others
aside. They are no longer required. If your projector has only three
mounting holes, set aside one of the mounting arms (see Fig. 3).
2
Attach the appropriate mounting arms to the rectangular plate via center
bolt. Spread out the arms so each end is over one of the mounting holes.
3
Connect projector mounting arms.
4
Tighten the mounting bolts.
5
Use the ¼" (6.35 mm)-20 bolts and springs which hold the rectangular
plate to the bottom pan to adjust roll and tilt (the springs will ensure that the
projector is held still during motion). The center

For Additional Safety:
1
Be sure the nuts that attach the threaded
rods to the closure panel are tight.
2
Wrap a plastic wire tie around the mounting
tab and the threaded rod at all four corners
of the closure panel (see drawing).
Please Note: Do NOT use a
paper-covered or similar wire tie—
use only plastic wire ties for
maximum safety.
Scissor Lift SLX Inspection and Maintenance
Draper recommends inspecting the Scissor Lift SLX at least annually or
every 300 cycles—whichever comes first.
A recommended maintenance schedule includes:
-Cables: Check for fraying.
-Drive Chain: Check for rust, breaks, secure attachment.
-Fasteners along scissor arm assemblies: Make sure they are not loose. If
any are loose, hand tighten the nuts.
(Please Note: there is no need to
tighten nut in the top scissor which slides back and forth in the side slot in
the lift. Tightening this fasteners assembly will cause the unit to lock up
and lead to damage to the unit.)
-Closure: Make sure threaded rod remains seated firmly in the closure
panel corners, and that nuts remain tight. If they are loose, tighten them.
