Ensure that all employees involved in the operation of this lift-and-tilt understand and
follow these instructions!
Loading:
The load rating, in pounds, is shown on the machine dataplate located on the torsion rod at
the operator’s right side corner. It indicates the net capacity of the ZLTT with the load
centered and evenly distributed.
Warning: The vertical center-of-gravity of the load on the platform should be at least 12”
inside the main box pivot point when the platform is tilted.
Note: The addition of any ancillary equipment to the platform by third parties must be
taken into account when determining the maximum working load.
Warning: Do not exceed the platform’s load ratings. Permanent damage to the equipment
or injury to personnel could result from exceeding the listed capacity.
Operation:
Inspect the perimeter pinch point guards’ operation daily.
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 platform and any load on it when it is in operation.
The ground-clearance lift-and-tilt table is furnished with either a constant-pressure (dead-
man style) pushbutton (standard) or dual twin foot switch (optional) control.
Pressing either the “LIFT RAISE” or “TILT RAISE” pushbutton or foot switch will turn on the
power unit to raise or tilt the platform, respectively. The platform will move only while
the control is pressed. Upon releasing the control, the platform will stop and hold its
position.
Pressing the “LIFT LOWER” or “TILT LOWER” pushbutton or foot switch will energize the
corresponding lowering 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.
