OPERATING PROCEDURE
Lock all four caster wheel locks. (See
locking caster detail, Figure 14)
The central mast is the main load
supporting element.
Adjust turnbuckles for equal load on legs.
(See turnbuckle detail, Figure 15)
When used indoors, leveling feet should
be adjusted so that the lift rests solidly
and level on the floor.
When used outdoors, leg feet MUST be
supported to prevent sinking that could
cause lift to tip. Plywood pads or other
solid material must be used to assist in
the leveling of the lift. Supports must be
stable.
Inspect the cable to make sure that none
of the wires are frayed or that the cable
itself has not been crushed.
Test the lift to see that no damage has
been incurred that would bind the moving
pieces of the system.
Be sure to secure the load to the lift with
proper hardware.
WARNING: KEEP HANDS FREE OF
UPPER TUBES WHILE RAISING
AND LOWERING LIFT!
WARNING: FAILURE TO HAVE A
SUFFICIENT LOAD (50 LB. MIN)
CAN RESULT IN DAMAGE TO LIFT
MECHANISM. DO NOT EXCEED RATED
CAPACITY OF 500 LBS.
If multiple lifts are being used
simultaneously, all lifts must be raised
evenly.
Three safety pins are provided for use
when raising and lowering the lift. (See
Figure 16). These must be used to
insure safety in the event of cable
failure. As you raise the lift, insert a
safety pin into the first hole in the 2”
tube. (See Figure 17 and 18). Then
insert a 2nd pin into the next hole down
as it becomes visible. When the 3rd
hole becomes available, remove the
first safety pin and insert it into the 3rd
hole. Continue to alternate pins
through the holes until the second
stage begins to rise. Leave a pin in the
last hold of the 2” tube. Using the two
remaining pins, repeat the above
procedure inserting pins in the 3” tube
for lifts above 12 ft. To lower the
system, follow the above procedures
in reverse order.
NOTE: Make sure that the winch is
ratcheting as you turn the winch handle. If
this fails to happen, lower the lift slightly
and then raise it again until you hear it
click before releasing the handle. If this
occurs, the winch may need to be
adjusted internally.
