Operator's Manual
Care should be taken to identify all potential hazards and comply with applicable safety procedures
before beginning work.
Remove any load and install the maintenance props before beginning any inspection or service on
the lift table. See below.
Only qualified individuals trained to understand mechanical devices, electrical and hydraulic circuits, and the hazards
associated with them, should attempt troubleshooting and repair of this equipment.
Inspection procedures.
Prior to performing any inspection or maintenance on this lift table:
Read and understand these maintenance procedures.
Remove the load from the platform. Do not attempt to service a loaded lift table.
Fully lower the platform, OR use both maintenance props to support the weight of the platform. The
maintenance props are stored in the base weldment. Place one prop in each scissor leg roller track. Lower the
platform until the props slide up against the end frame on the base, supporting the table.
Disconnect power and follow established lockout/tagout policies as required.
Initial inspection.
Prior to use, any new, altered, modified, or repaired scissor lift table shall be inspected by a qualified person.
Complete both the daily and monthly inspection items before releasing the lift table for regular use.
Daily inspection.
At the beginning of every shift, a designated person shall complete these inspections. Remove the lift table from
service and repair or replace any damaged parts if any of the following is found.
1. Look for:
a. Frayed wires.
b. Oil leaks.
c. Pinched, chafed, worn, or cracking hydraulic hoses.
d. Damage, deformation, or cracks in any structural member or any weld. Give special attention to the
hydraulic cylinder mounting brackets.
e. Loose or missing fasteners.
f.
Unusual noise or evidence of binding.
2. Test the function of the upper travel limit switch and the perimeter toe guard.
Monthly inspection.
Have a qualified person inspect for:
1. Oil level. The oil should be 1" to 1-½" below the reservoir fill hole with the platform in the fully lowered
position. See the Annual Inspection section for the hydraulic oil specification.
2. Worn or damaged hydraulic hoses or electrical wires.
3. Wear in the pivot points on the legs.
4. Looseness or wear in the rollers.
5. Integrity of the retaining hardware on all rollers and all pivot point pins.
6. Integrity of the frame anchor bolts, and for cracks in the concrete around them.
7.
Proper functioning of any hand- or foot-operated mechanisms.
8. Unusual noises or movement during operation.
9. Condition of all information, safety, and warning labels. These should be clean and clearly legible.
