M. TEST RUN (EMPTY) & MAKE ADJUSTMENTS
DANGER !
Never go under a platform! To avoid personal injury or
death, be sure the platform has been blocked from underneath! See
“Blocking Instructions.”
WARNING !
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.
NOTE: Because the lift is equipped with Call-Send style operator
pushbutton stations at the landings, you will have to press the
red Emergency Stop button In order to stop the lift carriage in
mid-travel (UP or DOWN).
1. Check that all chains and sprockets are in place and secure on drive axle
and carriage. Ensure that slack chain sensing switches are in place and
adjusted correctly per procedure.
2. Turn on power and press the UP button to raise the carriage 6-12” (you must
press E-Stop button to stop the lift) and check for:
a. Correct rotation/direction of the motor
b. running clearance of the carriage in the guides
c. any unexpected noise, vibration, rubbing, interferences, etc.
d. proper running & alignment of chains, counterweights, etc.
e. level carriage deck surface
CAUTION!
All chains must make contact with the running surface of the sprockets
before operation begins. Chains that are misaligned with, and come off of,
the sprockets during tensioning can cause permanent damage to the lift.
3. Re-set the E-Stop button and press the DOWN push button and lower the lift. Is the
platform carriage stopping level at the bottom landing?
