INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
DO NOT INSTALL, OPERATE OR SERVICE THIS PRODUCT UNLESS YOU HAVE READ
AND FULLY UNDERSTAND THE ENTIRE CONTENTS OF THIS MANUAL. FAILURE TO
DO SO MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, BODILY INJURY OR DEATH.
IMPORTANT
PREPARATION PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
Perform installation instructions in the same sequence as they are listed below
.
1. Ensure pit conforms to appropriate Pentalift pit drawing. Ensure drain, if required, is in place prior to installing the
dock lift.
2. Make sure the installation surface is clean, level
and flat before installing the unit. A slight slope
from clevis end to roller end is not a problem,
but a side to side slope will cause premature
wear on all moving parts of the lift. Tighten the
lag bolts.
3. The installation surface must be capable of
supporting any loads that will be applied to it.
4. Connect the two hydraulic hoses to the
hydraulic hoses sticking out on the fixed end of
the frame.
Hoist the dock lift into the pit. At the same time,
feed the hydraulic hose through the conduit
from inside the pit toward the power unit. (See
“Figure 3: Moving the Dock Lift” on page 4)
5. Mount the power unit in the desired location
and connect the two hydraulic hoses. Ideally,
the reservoir should be mounted on a wall
approximately 6 1/2 feet above the ground.
BEFORE DOING ANY INSTALLATION, MAINTENANCE, INSPECTION OR TROUBLE
SHOOTING, BARRICADE ALL AREAS FROM TRAFFIC AROUND THE WORK AREA
INSIDE (& OUTSIDE IF APPLICABLE) FOR SAFETY, POST APPROPRIATE WARNING
SIGNS AND BE CERTAIN THAT THE POWER IS DISCONNECTED, PROPERLY TAGGED
AND LOCKED OUT. ALL ELECTRICAL WORK MUST BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED
ELECTRICIAN IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE CODES.
MAKE SURE LIFTING AND SLINGING DEVICES ARE OF SUFFICIENT CAPACITY,
USED IN THE CORRECT MANNER AND ARE IN GOOD WORKING ORDER. ALL
LIFTING, POSITIONING AND INSTALLATION, AS WELL AS THE BREAK-IN AND
