Review this entire page before installing the lift. Consult the factory
in the event there are any questions or problems at the time of installation.
The lift-and-tilt table must be removed from the shipping wood and securely anchored to the floor before use!
• The standard model ground-clearance lift-and-tilt table is suitable for use indoors in most industrial locations
and many commercial locations, and is typically provided as a turnkey system. Anchoring the unit to the
floor and an electrical supply to the remote power unit is typically all that is required for installation.
• Modifications or additions to the lift without prior manufacturer’s authorization may void the lift’s warranty
(see ANSI MH29.1, Safety Requirements for Scissor Lifts, section 12.6.) The addition of ancillary equipment
to the platform may necessitate that its load capacity be reduced.
• The installation must be made so that it complies with all the regulations applicable to the machine and its
location. The end-user must verify that the supplied equipment is installed so it will be suited to the
environment in which it will be used.
• Installation must be performed by suitably trained personnel with access to the appropriate equipment. The
electrical aspects of the installation should be performed by an electrician.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For a standard installation you will need the following:
1. A smooth, level concrete surface on which to mount the lift.
2. A fork truck with fork extensions, or a hoisting means to unload the lift and its power unit from the freight
truck and set it into place.
Caution: To prevent damage to the unit, careful consideration must be used when choosing a lifting
method.
Note: The unit must only be lifted when in the level and fully lowered position and fully supported
underneath, across its width.
3. Concrete anchors, a masonry drill, a masonry bit, hand tools, grout, steel shims, and tools to square up the
frame before anchoring. Consult the building’s architect or facility engineer to determine the best size and
type of hardware with which to anchor the machine to the floor.
4. A power supply circuit and disconnect matching the motor voltage and current requirements. Refer to the
labels on the control enclosure and to the electrical section in this manual for more information. The end-
user is responsible for supplying the branch circuit’s required overcurrent and short-circuit protection.
---------------------------------------
1. Move the lift into place with forks placed under the unit’s frame from the side. Use fork extensions if
necessary. Use care to avoid damage to the electrical and hydraulic components mounted to the lift.
Note: The lift must only be lifted when in the lowered position and fully supported underneath, across its
width.
2. Temporarily connect the power supply to the pigtail cord supplied with the table, and raise the platform so
the table’s safety maintenance props can be utilized. Lower the platform so the unit is supported by the
props.
3. Square the frame to ensure the frame sides are parallel and square with each other.
4. Use appropriate concrete fasteners to anchor the lift’s frame to the floor, at each corner.
5. Shim and/or grout under the full length of the frame sides.
6. Make permanent connection to the power supply, using an appropriate wiring method.
7. Raise and tilt the unit through several full up/down cycles. Verify that the upper travel limit switches
(lifting and tilting) and the toe guard switch function properly.
8. Check the hydraulic oil level. It should be filled to within 1” to 1½” of the reservoir’s fill hole. 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, and verify that all of the warning and safety labels are intact.
