Operator's Manual
Operation.
At the beginning of every shift, inspect the perimeter toe guard for correct operation. First raise the platform. Push
and hold a section of the perimeter toe guard up against the platform. The platform should not move when the
"LOWER" button is pressed. Perform this check on all four sides of the platform.
Check the condition of the guards, controls, scissor mechanism, hydraulic lines, and limit switches. If any item is in
need of repair or otherwise contributes to an unsafe condition, remove the lift table from service until it has been
restored to a safe operating condition.
The standard EHLTX scissor lift table is furnished with an externally-mounted electric-hydraulic power unit and a
handheld pushbutton control.
Press the "RAISE" pushbutton to energize the power unit and raise the
platform. The platform will rise only while the pushbutton is pressed.
When the pushbutton is released, the platform will stop and hold its
position. At the platform's maximum height, a limit switch prevents the
platform from further raising.
Press the "LOWER" pushbutton to open the hydraulic valve and lower the
platform. The platform descends by gravity, and the pump motor will not
run. Release the pushbutton to stop the motion of the platform. If the
perimeter toe guard encounters an object, the valve will close and prevent
further descent of the platform.
The EHLTX lift table is provided with hydraulic overload protection that
will prevent it from raising a load in excess of its rated capacity. The
lowering speed is preset at the factory, and will not exceed a speed of 30 fpm. In the event of a hydraulic line
failure, a velocity fuse in the hydraulic cylinder will prevent the platform from lowering.
Always watch the area around the platform and any load on the platform when it is in operation.
Never use the lift table if any damage or unusual noise is observed, if it is in need of repair, or if any
other malfunction is observed. Notify your supervisor or maintenance personnel.
Keep all personnel clear of the machine when it is in operation. Before operating the lift table, make
certain no part of any person or object is under the platform.
Guards shall be in place before operating the lift table.
Guards cannot protect against every possible condition, and should not be considered a substitute
for good judgment and care in use, loading, handling, storage, etc. of the lift table.
