Position lift

Position the lift.
Procedure
NOTE
The Multilift is shipped fully assembled. Be sure to remove
the shipping straps securing the sling to the tower.
1 Position the lift on the pad/floor ensuring that the
running clearance between the top landing and the
platform is per your plan drawings. Refer to the plan
drawings shipped with your lift. A sample plan drawing
is provided on the next page.
2 Observe the following safety concepts as well.
a. Guarding of top landing
• A door or gate must be used to prevent an
accidental fall from the top landing. This door/gate
must be unlocked ONLY when the lift is level with
the landing.
b. Prevention of shear points along the travel
• A platform moving along stationary objects can
sometimes create crushing and shearing hazards
(see Figure 1 below).
• A typical situation of a shearing hazard is when the
platform crosses the underside of the landing. This
situation can be corrected by the use of a fascia
panel as shown below.
It is critical to recognize possible crushing or shearing
hazards and eliminate them.
