5. MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
A. Most work can be done with the lift carriage fully lowered. Never work under the lift
carriage unless it is blocked in place per the “Blocking Instructions” section of this
manual.
B. Never allow a person to ride on the carriage of the lift.
C. Use only the hardware supplied by the Manufacturer to assemble the lift. This
hardware is often high grade, some hardware is metric.
D. Do not remove or disconnect the motor brake on mechanical drives unless
carriage and lifting chains are secured and properly supported per the “Blocking
Instructions” section of this manual..
E. Check gearbox fluid levels before starting up mechanical drive units. Failure to do
so will reduce the effectiveness and safety of the lift.
F. Use only the lifting chains and attachment hardware supplied by the Manufacturer.
6. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
A. Ensure that the supplied voltage matches the motor supplied.
B. Make sure that the customer-supplied electrical disconnect is a fused-type
disconnect and is installed within direct line of sight of the lift it is associated with.
C. All electrical work must meet the requirements of ASME B20.1 as well as all state
and local codes.
D. Make sure that only qualified electricians perform all wiring and that they are
familiar with the electrical drawings shipped with the equipment.
E. Do not operate the lift until the carriage is leveled and the guide beams are
plumbed and secure.
F. Never operate the lift by “manualling” the electrical controls (using the contactors
located inside the control panel). All safety devices are by-passed in this mode of
operation and lift damage or severe personal injury could occur.
G. Do not operate the lift using the operator pushbuttons prior to having all safety
devices and/or gate interlocks wired and in the circuit. Never by-pass any safety
device and/or interlock.
H. Electrician to ensure that motor brake wiring is complete when wiring the motor.
