Installation
This unit is easy to install and use and requires little or no attention after the initial set-up. No special tools or
mounting hardware is necessary for set-up; the platform comes completely assembled and ready for operation.
NOTE:
The platform is generally factory-adapted to suit particular application requirements. Your unit may or may
not include plate weights, depending on your order and the loads you indicate the system will carry. The
instructions in this section indicate both how to make the proper inflation settings and how to install or
remove plate weights to suit your application.
1. Connect your in-house gas supply to the quick-connect inlet located on the rear of the platform. To make this
connection, simply remove the collar from the end of the quick-connect fitting, press it onto the gas line, and then
screw it back onto the fitting. This fitting can then be pressed onto the platform inlet until it locks in place.
CAUTION:
You may need an external pressure regulator if line pressure in your in-house supply is greater
than 100 psi.
NOTE:
The safety regulator is factory-set, and plate weights are installed in accordance with customer
requirements before shipping. Under most circumstances, no further adjustment is required. Follow steps 2-
4 below only if you experience problems with any of these set-up conditions.
2. Turn the platform over to expose the safety regulator located immediately inside the gas inlet. If your platform
incorporates a plate weight that covers the regulator, remove it (by removing the two set screws on the bottom of
the plate). If you have an electropolished stainless steel platform, you will need to remove the plastic bottom
cover.
3. This safety regulator should be set at no more than
60 psi to protect the isolators against the possibility
of overpressure. To make this setting, open the
four regulators located on the sides of the platform;
then open the safety regulator until the gauges (on
the front of the unit) read just under 60 psi. Lock
