    M-ENG-10001 – Speed-Lift Owner’s Manual Doc. Rev.: E Page 6 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 1.1. Unloading From Carrier All models of the Speed-Lift are shipped on flat-bed trucks. Any of the following techniques may be used for unloading the lift from the carrier’s flat-bed truck at the delivery location: 1) A large heavy-duty tow truck equipped with an extendable hydraulic boom which can position the lifting hook(s) 11 feet or higher above the center of a flatbed truck will be more than adequate for off-loading any Speed-Lift at delivery.

  • Page 7: Electrical Hook-Up

    M-ENG-10001 – Speed-Lift Owner’s Manual Doc. Rev.: E Page 7 between the lift and the building entrance. Placing the Speed-Lift on the same ground level as the truck usually is best because it permits smooth side-to-side alignment of the truck bridge and extra truck bumper clearance.

Do not go under a raised platform for any reason unless precautions to prevent accidental platform lowering have been taken or personal injury may result. Speed-Lifts may be prevented from lowering by fully placing the Platform Locking Pin (PLP) into the retaining sleeve housed within the frame of the Speed-Lift while the platform is raised to the maximum height and then lowering the platform until contacting the PLP.

Rev.: E Page 10 Position Adjustable Height Bridge Wheel so that the bridge opens automatically onto the truck floor, overlapping the truck floor 4” - 7” or more, as the platform is raised. The Adjustable Bridge Wheel should not touch the underside of the level open bridge once the platform is raised to truck height because it is built to guide the bridge open at the correct height and not to support the load.

  • Page 17: Operation Checks

    The working fluid used in the Speed-Lift is Dexron III/Mercon Automatic Transmission Fluid. Dextron ATF has proven to be a reliable working fluid and has been used in Superior Handling products since 1977. While many Speed-Lifts have never had their oil changed and are still operating satisfactorily, we recommend that the oil be changed at least every 10 years to flush out any contaminates and ensure many more years of trouble-free operation.
