Autoquip DOUBLE PANTOGRAPH LIFT - Manual (Page 30)

LEVELING TO GRADE: – (Reference Figure 3A & 3B)
1.
The platform top should be solid and flush with the pit curb angles. The pit depth
includes 1/2” added to the lowered height of the lift for leveling purposes (see Figure
10 and 11).
2.
Fully lower the lift platform into the pit and check for proper height.
3.
Shims and/or grout must be placed under the entire base frame assembly and the
platform support members to support the platform top at grade level. DO NOT “spot”
shim! Shims and/or grout must be able to support the lift base frame while loaded at
full rated lifting capacity and rollover load.
CAUTION!
The Contractor or Owner is responsible for removal of the Shipping
Bolt and Lifting Eye Bolts prior to operating the lift. Failure to
remove the Shipping Bolt before operating the lift will cause
permanent damage to the lift.
STARTING UP AND LAGGING DOWN
:
1.
Check the routing of the temporary hydraulic lines to assure that the hose is clear of
legs, bas frame, and platform when lift is in the lowered position.
2.
Make positioning adjustments of the lift to align the platform with a 1” clearance
around the edges of the pit.
3. Make temporary electrical connections and permanent hydraulic connections (refer
to Hydraulic Piping/Hose Size chart above). The female end connection on the lift
base frame is 1/2” NPT.
4.
For remote power units, a(optional) connecting hose must be used for connecting
the remote power unit to the lift. Simply thread one end of the high pressure hose
into the power unit fitting and into the coupling located in the base frame. NOTE:
Use pipe dope at all connections – DO NOT USE TEFLON TAPE.
5.
Raise the lift approximately one foot using the “UP” button (Caution: Do not raise
the lift to its full travel until all the air has been bled from the system. It is very
difficult to lower the lift if the velocity fuses engage while the lift is fully raised). Then
lower the lift back to fully collapse, holding the “DOWN” button for approximately 60
seconds. Repeat this process five to seven times to bleed any air out of the
hydraulic system while confirming that the alignment of the lift in the pit is
acceptable.
