OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - HYD-10-DC
Ensure that all employees involved in the operation of this lift understand and follow the following instructions!
Loading:
The load rating, in pounds, is shown on the machine dataplate. It indicates the net capacity of the lift with the load
centered and evenly distributed on the platform.
Warning: For applications involving side or end edge loading, consult the factory.
Note: The addition of any ancillary equipment to the platform by third parties must be taken into account when determin-
ing the maximum working load to be placed on the table.
Warning: Do not exceed the lift’s load ratings. Structural damage to the lift or injury to personnel could result from
exceeding the listed capacity.
Operation:
Warning: Keep all personnel clear of the machine when it is in operation. Be certain no part of any person or object is
under any part of the platform before lowering the unit.
Caution: Always carefully watch the lift and any load on it when it is in operation.
The DC powered lift is furnished with a constant-pressure (dead-man style) pushbutton control.
Pressing the “UP” pushbutton, or pulling the lever up, will turn on the power unit to raise the platform. The platform will
raise only while the control is pressed. Upon releasing the control, the platform will stop and hold its position.
Pressing the “DOWN” pushbutton will energize the lowering valve, or pushing the lever down will open a manual valve, to
allow the platform to descend by gravity (the motor does not run). Again, releasing the control will stop the platform
movement, and the unit will hold its position.
Caution: Never use the lift if any damage or unusual noise is observed, if it is in need of repairs, or if it seems to be
malfunctioning. Notify your supervisor or maintenance personnel if you notice anything out of the ordinary.
Ensure that all safety and warning labels stay in place and are legible. Refer to the labels page in this manual.
