AIR BAG REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT
WARNING!
To avoid personal injury, NEVER go under the lift platform until
the load is removed and the scissors mechanism is securely
blocked in the open position. See the "Lift Blocking
Instructions" section.
1. Engage the maintenance leg. See the "Lift Blocking Instructions”.
2. Continue to hold the “DOWN” valve after the lift has stopped traveling downward
to relieve the system air pressure.
3. Disconnect the air bag by removing the four bolts that attach the bag to the base
and leg assembly.
4. Remove the air bag hosing and remove the bag from the lift.
5. Re-installation of air bag assembly is the reverse of above procedure.
6. After checking all pins, mechanical components, and air control components to
make sure everything is completely assembled and in working order, it is a good
idea to check the lag bolts for tightness.
7. Turn on the air supply and press the "UP" valve. Raise the lift and check for any
air leaks. If everything checks out all right, remove the maintenance leg (see the
“Lift Blocking Instructions” section).
8. Cycle the lift 10 to 15 times to ensure it is working properly.
9. LAST BUT NOT LEAST! Clean up the area. It’s part of the job as a service
technician and reflects on the work performed.
NOTE: This job should require one to two hours of time, depending on the experience
of the service technician.
