1.6 HYDRAULIC PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT

Adjust system pressure so that platform will raise with
rated capacity in platform.
The following are recommended factory pressure set-
tings;
VP10,VP15 –1000 psi
VP20 – 2500 psi
Turning adjustment screw clockwise increases system
pressure, turning screw counterclockwise decreases
system pressure.
Make pressure adjustment with oil at normal operating
temperature. If pressure is set when oil is cold, platform
may not raise rated load after oil has warmed.
