INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER !
Do not work under the lift without Maintenance Device! 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 and the appropriate OSHA lock-out/tag-out
procedure is followed . See "Lift Blocking Instructions" section.
6. The base frame of the lift has pre-drilled holes for lagging it securely to the floor.
Mark the holes, drill, and install with anchors. Lifts with oversize platforms have
minimum pull out requirements of 2,000 lbs. for each anchor.
7. Make permanent electrical connections and operate the lift through a few cycles.
PIT INSTALLATION -- MODELS WITH BEVEL TOE GUARDS.
DANGER !
Do not install the lift in a pit unless it has a bevel toe guard or
other approved toe protection. Failure to provide approved toe
protection could result in exposure to shear points and potential
severe injury to personnel.
1. Check the pit dimensions. Length and width should be 2" minimum longer and
wider than the lift platform. Pit depth should allow ½” for shims or grout.
2. Check the case entrance into the pit. The diameter should be 3". If the
permanent electrical work is not complete, some means of temporary lines with
an on-off device for the motor should be set up for testing purposes.
3. Make sure the installation area is clean before starting. Check the mounting
surface of the pit floor with a level or straight edge. If the floor is not level, add
shims or grout under the lift base frame along the entire perimeter of the base to
achieve a level and flat base installation. A level base will ensure proper wheel
tracking and smooth lift operation.
4. Lower the lift into the pit and check for proper height. The lift should be solid and
flush with the pit angle framing. If needed, shim to the desired height. DO NOT
“spot” shim. Shim the full length of the base frame. This will prevent the frame
from sagging under an exceptionally heavy load.
