cap and turn the 3/8” nut on top.
2. Use only a 3/8” wrench on this hex nut.
3. DO NOT LEAVE THE WRENCH ON THIS NUT UNDER NORMAL OPERATIONS, THAT IS,
WHEN THE MOTOR IS POWERED. THE WRENCH COULD SPIN AND HURT SOMEONE!

battery light on front of control box.
2. The scissors lift must be on firm ground.
3. The ground slope must not exceed 5 degrees.
4. Select the lift to operate in the ground position. Ensure the scissors lift is operating as
expected. If the scissors lift does not work as expected do not use.

The lift is equipped with a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) that controls the operation
of the scissors lift and is located in the main control box in front of the scissors lift. Servicing of
these components should be performed only by trained technicians.
