6. The base frame of the tilter has pre-drilled holes for lagging it securely to the
floor. Mark the holes, drill, and install with anchors. Tilters with oversize
platforms have minimum pull out requirements of 2,000 lbs. for each anchor.
7. Make permanent electrical connections and operate the tilter through a few
cycles.
PIT INSTALLATION -- MODELS WITH BEVEL TOE GUARDS.
DANGER!
Do not install the tilter in a pit unless it has a bevel toe guard or
other approved toe protection. A shear point can exist which
can cause severe injury to the foot.
1. Check the pit dimensions. Length and width should be 2" minimum longer and
wider than the tilter platform. See pit drawing for pit dimensions (Figure 12).
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. Lower the tilter into the pit and check for proper height. The tilter 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.
CAUTION!
When moving the tilter, do not attempt to pick it up by the platform; it is
hinged and could be damaged. Pick up the tilter from under the base frame
ONLY using a strap sling.
4. Make temporary electrical connections and permanent hydraulic connections.
Raise the tilter approximately one foot using the “UP” button. Then lower it 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.
