Autoquip BASCULE BRIDGE - DOUBLE LEAF - Manual (Page 16)

CAUTION!
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Never unbolt the clevises or try to change the shims when the bridge
is not resting solidly in its fully lowered position.
15. Check the fluid level in the reservoir and replenish if necessary. See the fluid
specifications in the Maintenance Section of this manual. Cycle the bridge to set
the limit switch tripping locations. NOTE: Initial limit switch settings should
prevent over travel of the safety legs and bridge, or damage may occur.
16. To remove air from the cylinders, raise the bridge and manually lower it 10 – 15
times by using the Manual Lowering Valve. Hold the valve open 30 to 40
seconds after the cylinders are in the fully collapsed position (the bridge weight
should be resting on the bottomed out cylinders).
17. Locate the bridge position limit switch and adjust it so that when it strikes and
trips against the lifting cylinder, the safety legs just clear the top of the pit curb
angles.
18. Adjust the safety leg retract limit switches to trip when the safety legs are fully
retracted.
19. Adjust the safety leg extend limit switches to trip when the safety legs are fully
retracted.
Clean Up
1. Clean up any spilled oil and debris from the area. A clean installation makes a
good impression and creates a much safer environment!
2. Touch-up paint is available by request from Autoquip for repair of damaged paint
surfaces.
