12. Install a velocity fuse on the elbow in the cylinder. Do not use a swivel fitting
on the fuses. Make certain that the arrow on the velocity fuse points away from
the cylinder. Connect the hose to the velocity fuse.
13. Disconnect the transition hose from the cylinder furthest from the power unit and
insert the end of the hose in a container suitable for holding oil. Push and hold the
“UP” button on the controller until about one half gallon of oil is discharged from the
open hose.
14. Refill the power unit reservoir with oil. See “Oil Requirements” in the Maintenance
section.
15. Press the “UP” button on the controller and raise the platform. Check for pipe/hose
routing to confirm that they are not in danger of being pinched or crushed.
16. Raise the platform just enough to install the remaining lag bolts in the cylinder
clevis base pads under the towers.
17. Raise and the lower the platform, continuing to hold the “DOWN” button
approximately 30 seconds after the platform is fully lowered. Repeat this 10 to 15
times to purge air from the cylinders and hydraulic lines.
18. Clean up any spilled oil and remove all debris from under the Surface Mounted
Truck Leveler. Replace the cover plates on the towers.
Skirts
1. Remove the skirts from the shipping container and lay them out on the ground
beside the lift. The skirts are interchangeable from one side to the other by turning
them over.
2. Insert one precut 1/8” diameter stiffener wire into each pocket in the folds of the
skirt.
3. Raise the platform and block it up (See “Blocking Instructions”). Position the skirts
under the edges of the sides of the platform. The platform, towers, and filler plates
are pre-drilled for attaching the skirts. Attach the skirt mounting bars with the skirt
flap sandwiched between them and the platform, towers, and filler plates. Use C-
clamps to hold the skirts and mounting bars in place. Punch holes in the skirt
through the pre-drilled holes in the mounting bars and the platform, towers, and
filler plates and insert the drive rivets (See Figure 10).
