Installation.
1.
The platform must be lowered and fully supported under its frame when moved. Support the lift table with
straps or forks that span the entire width or length of the base frame. Remove the 4x4 wood dunnage from the
base. Use care to avoid damaging the electrical and hydraulic components in the lift table.
2.
Move the lift table into position.
3.
Temporarily connect the power supply to the power cable supplied with the lift table. Raise the platform near to
its full raised height. Rotate both of the temporary maintenance props forward so that their free ends drop
down onto the base frame. Lower the platform until the props slide up against the end of the base frame.
To raise the platform without using a power supply, use a hoist with straps or chain rigging, or the forks on a
lift truck. Lift from the hinged end of the platform. Take care not to damage the aluminum perimeter toe
guard under the platform. Use the 4x4 wood dunnage to secure the base while lifting the platform.
4.
Anchor the frame to the floor through the four mounting holes in the frame.
5.
Shim and/or grout to ensure the entire length of each base side frame is level and fully supported. The entire
base frame rail must be supported with no gaps in its foundation for the lift table to function properly.
6.
Have a qualified electrician make a permanent connection to the power supply.
7.
Operate the lift table through several full raise and lower cycles. Verify that actuating the upper travel limit
switch (mounted on the base frame, near the left-side hinge) prevents further upward travel of the platform.
Verify that actuating the perimeter toe guard switches (under the platform) from any side of the lift table
prevents further downward travel of the platform. DO NOT place a lift table in service if either of these devices
isn’t functioning properly.
8.
Check the hydraulic oil level. It should be filled to within 1” to 1-½” of the reservoir’s fill hole.
Note: the reservoir
is an integral part of the scissor mechanism on many models
. If oil is needed, use an anti-wear hydraulic oil with
a viscosity grade of 150 SUS at 100°F (ISO 32 at 40°C) or a non-synthetic automatic transmission fluid.
9.
Clean up any debris or spilled oil. Verify that all of the information, safety, and warning labels are in good
condition.
