The following chart should be referenced in connecting these motors to power sources,
remembering that heavy wire must be used all the way to the power-source.
5 HP
208 Volts
230 Volts
460 volts
Full Load Amperages 15.8 AMPS 14.8 AMPS 7.4 AMPS
NOTE: 115V/1ph/60Hz operation is not recommended. If 115V/1ph operation is
absolutely required, the lift will function properly if adequate power is supplied.
However, it is very sensitive to deviations from the required power. Consequently,
performance could prove unsatisfactory. To assure proper operation on 115V/1ph/60Hz
power supply, a separate circuit, protected by a 30 AMP time delay circuit breaker, and
adequate wiring should be provided to allow and actual 115V at the power cord plug
during fully loaded operation. Specify if required.
AIR BLEEDING PROCEDURE
1. Press and hold the “UP” button, release when the unit has raised halfway up.
2. Crack the bleed screw on top of the cylinder until clear oil (no bubbles) comes from
the cracked bleed screw.
3. Tighten the screw; make sure no oil comes from the screw when it is tightened.
4. Clean up any spilled oil. Used oil should be discarded as it may contain flushed
contaminates from the line.
NOTE: A small amount of air may remain in the cylinder, but it will be flushed back to
the reservoir after a few operations of the system.
