Assembly
Your LowBoy arrives as two cartons, you will need to assemble the top on to the base.
To assemble your LowBoyperform the following steps:
3. Carefully lift the scissor mechanism, turn it right side up, place it on the floor, and
plug the power cord into any UL approved, 120-volt outlet.
4. Press the left side of the foot switch to raise the lift to its highest position and unplug the power cord.
2. Thread by hand either the caster wheels or the floor levelers that are included in the
carton, depending upon the intended application.
1. Lift and remove the scissor mechanism from its carton (this requires two people
since it is very heavy), and carefully place it upside-down on the floor.
▲Avoid electrical shock.
▲Keep all electrical cords free from the moving lift parts such as the scissor linkages and bearing tracks.
▲Unplug the electrical cord before performing any work on the electrical connections of the lift.
▲Keep all electrical cords free from the moving lift parts such as the scissor linkages and bearing tracks.
▲Operate your lift where it has sufficient clearance to be raised and lowered without interference.
▲Keep your lift level and stable. An uneven floor may necessitate the use of the leveling feet that are

•Maximum Capacity
Operating your LowBoy has been organized into the following activities:
Your LowBoy table is designed to be fully adjustable from a starting height of only
six inches to a maximum height of forty-two inches (without casters). The
LowBoy table is raised by applying pressure to the left side of the foot switch, and
lowered by applying pressure on the right. The foot switch is located on the front,
right side of the table on the bottom of the frame.
The jackscrew that moves your table up and down is equipped with a protective
clutch. This clutch will make a clicking sound and prevents continued motion at
both the maximum and minimum limits of the lift.
Loosen the adjustment knob and insert the post into the clamp. Notice that the
vertical member of the post does not move and does not extend below the bottom
of the clamp. Move the horizontal member of the post up or down until the desired
height is achieved and then tighten the adjustment knob just until the horizontal
member remains securely in position.
It is important that you never exceed the recommended capacity of your
LowBoy. The maximum capacity of your LowBoy lift is 250 pounds (116
kilograms).
Never use any other post and clamp other than the Ascot LowBoy post (3/4”
square) and clamp that are supplied with your lift. The clamp must be securely
mounted to the edge of the table at a tabletop edge location where there is sufficient
clearance. DO NOT place the clamp on the tabletop directly over the foot
switch, as this may interfere with its normal operation. Simply loosen the
thumbscrews and slide the clamp onto the tabletop edge until it can go no
farther. Tighten both thumbscrews until the clamp is secure.
The LowBoy comes equipped with twin-wheel casters and floor “levelers.” If you
have selected to use the levelers, then the lift must be leveled. Move the lift to its
desired location, and place a bubble level on the tabletop along the
length of the lift. Turn the levelers on the left and right legs until the bubble is
centered. Repeat this process with the level positioned across the width of the
tabletop, turning the levelers on the front and back legs until the bubble is centered.
Finish by checking for a level tabletop during rotation.

Jackscrew
The electric jackscrew requires little maintenance. Periodically, especially if the lift
becomes louder, you can grease the threads of the jackscrew with automotive grease.
To lubricate the jackscrew, perform the following steps:
1. Raise the lift to its maximum height so that you have room to work.
2. Unplug your lift.
3. Remove the jackscrew cover using a 5-mm Allen wrench to loosen the retaining
screw located on the side of the mechanism near its base. Raise the cover.
4. Apply grease liberally to the jackscrew threads.
5. Move the cover back to its original position, and re-tighten the retaining screw.
6. Plug your lift back in.
7. Fully lower, and then raise the lift several times to distribute the grease along the
length of the jackscrew.
•Bearing Race Adjustment
Your LowBoy requires very little routine maintenance other than cleaning of the
tabletop surface. This can be accomplished with any mild spray-on household
cleaner.
Maintaining your LowBoy has been organized into the following activities:
The LowBoy scissor mechanism has several frame articulation points that should be
periodically lubricated. This can be accomplished using a light, spray on lubricant
available from any hardware store, and performing the following steps:
1. Raise the lift to its maximum height so that you have room to work.
2. Unplug the lift.
3. Taking care not to put any body part or clothing in or near any scissor point, spray
Lubricating your LowBoy has been organized into the following areas:
It is critical that the LowBoy upper and lower bearing tracks remain free of dirt and
animal hair. Always unplug the LowBoy before blowing and/or wiping these tracks
with a dry cloth. Do not lubricate these bearing tracks as this will attract debris and
decrease the efficiency of the Lift.
The upper bearing races can be adjusted or tightened with two 9/16” open-end
wrenches. For information contact us at [email protected], 936-894-3292
