4. Raise the Freightlift 3-6 feet (again, you must stop the lift using the E-Stop button)
above the floor. Is everything okay? Any unusual noises? Are masts stable or do
they need additional bracing?
5. If you are satisfied with the alignment and structural integrity of the unit, cycle the
platform carriage higher & higher until the top landing is eventually reached,
continuing to check the smoothness of operation. Be sure that at least 1” clearance
is present between the carriage and all building structures, and other site constraints.
CAUTION!
Take extreme caution when running the unit before the over travel limit
switch may be installed and adjusted properly! Lift over-travel can cause
severe damage.
6. Lower the Freightlift a few feet (you must stop the lift using the E-Stop button) and
bring it back up. If the carriage is above or below the floor, adjust limit switch arm as
needed. Repeat for each level (Reference Fig. 31 for adjustment).
N. GATE & ENCLOSURE INSTALLATION
1. Install the gate and enclosures following the layout on the GA drawing provided with
the enclosure package and referring to the Gate & Enclosure Installation Manual
that has been sent separately for this particular application.
2. All gates or doors accessing the lift must have electrical contacts and mechanical
locks to prevent the lift from operating if a gate is left open. The gate should lock
until the carriage is at the nearest landing. There are many variables that can affect
your installation: the type of gate; the type of door; conditions unique to a specific
site. One (1) to four (4) electrical sensing or signaling devices are supplied with
each gate that incorporates the standard interlock design.
NOTE: If the personnel guards are not purchased from Autoquip it is the
responsibility of the Owner to make sure that the personnel guards are in
compliance with the requirements set forth in ASME B20.1.
