LOADING INSTRUCTIONS
The load capacity rating as inscribed on the
nameplate of your unit designates the net capacity,
assuming the load is centered. This capacity must
never be exceeded, as permanent damage or injury
may result.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This unit is furnished with constant pressure
("deadman" type) push button controls. Depressing
the "RAISE" control opens ths motor air supply
valve. The cylinder begins to extend and the deck
starts to raise. Stand to the side when operating.
Stay clear of moving parts. The platform will rise as
long as the "RAISE" control is pressed.
On releasing the control, the unit will cease
to rise and will remain at that particular elevation.
This is because the pushbutton valve will close
which in turn closes the pilot-operated motor air
supply valve.
On pressing the "LOWER" control, the
lowering solenoid valve is energized. The cylinders
retract as the oil returns to the reservoir and, upon
releasing the control, the unit will cease to lower,
remaining at that particular elevation. Be certain no
person or object is in the way when the unit is
descending.
In the event the unit is overloaded, it will not
raise the relief valve will open due to excessive
pressure buildup, an oil will bypass into the reservoir.
Always remember that the motor runs only when the
"RAISE" button is depressed and the lowering
solenoid valve is energized only when the "LOWER"
button is pressed.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS TO THE OPERATOR
1.) Always load the unit properly.
2.) Never use the Lift if it is in need of
repairs or in the case of malfunction.
3.) Notify your maintenance personnel in case
you notice anything out of the ordinary,
such as binding, odd pump noises, etc.
4.) Do not continue to depress the "UP" control
if the unit is not raising. You can
permanently damage the motor or pump
by doing so.
