1. Change oil once a year or when it materially darkens or feels gritty. Also, check oil
for the presence of water (oil will turn milky in color.)
2. NEVER TRY TO DISASSEMBLE OR REPAIR A PUMP IN THE FIELD. These
pumps are high-precision devices requiring extreme precision in fit-up. When one is
damaged, there is seldom anything that can be repaired in the field. It is also more
economical to replace a pump than to refit old parts with new parts.
DANGER !
To avoid personal injury, NEVER go under the lift platform or perform
maintenance until the load is removed and the platform is securely blocked
on both raised corners. See "Blocking Instructions" section of this
manual.
VERTICAL POWER UNIT
DANGER!
HIGH VOLTAGE!! Disconnect and/or lock out the electrical supply to the
power unit prior to any maintenance being performed.
The “vertical” unit utilizes a heavy duty 5 HP/208, 230, or 460 Volts/60 hertz/3 phase
motor coupled to a high-pressure positive displacement gear pump, and Autoquip
Corporation’s patented valve assembly. It is also available with a 5 HP/ 230 volts/60
hertz/single-phase motor as an option.
The following should be referenced in connecting the standard heavy-duty motors to
power sources. Remember that heavy wire must be used all the way to the power
source.
