INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS-
BABLT
Review this
entire
page
before installing
the
airbag scissor
lift
table.
Consult the factory in the event there are any questions
or
problems
at
the
time
of
installation,
or
for
information regarding optional features
not
covered by the owner's manual.
The
ABLT
must be removed
from
the shipping wood and securely anchored
to
a concrete surface before use!
• Modifications
or
additions
to
the
unit
without prior manufacturer's authorization may void the warranty
(see
ANSI
MH29.1,
Safety Requirements
for
Scissor
Lifts, Section 12.6).
The
addition
of
ancillary equipment
to
the
unit
may
necessitate
that
its load capacity be reduced.
• The installation must be made
so
that
it
complies
with
all
the
regulations applicable
to
the machine
and
its
location.
The
end-user must verify
that
the
supplied equipment
is
installed
so
it
will
be suited
to
the environment
in
which
it
will
be
used.
•
• Installation must be performed by suitably trained personnel with
access
to
the
appropriate equipment.
Note:
If
the
unit
is
to
be
placed
into
a
pit,
you will need
to
first
determine how
the
required pneumatic
connections
will
be
made once the
unit
is
in
place.
For a typical installation
of
a standard airbag scissor
lift
table, you
will
need
the
following:
1. A fork truck
or
hoisting
means
to
unload
the
unit
from
the
freight
truck
and set
it
into
place.
2.
A smooth, level,
and
adequately strong concrete surface
on
which
to
mount
the
BABLT
3.
Concrete anchors, a masonry
drill,
a masonry bit,
hand
tools, grout, and steel shims. Consult
the
building's
architect or facility engineer
to
determine
the
best size
and
type
of
hardware
with
which to anchor the machine
to
the floor.
4. Appropriate
air
supply,
filter,
regulator and hose. The end-user
is
responsible for supplying
the
filter
and
regulator. Note: Warranty
is
void
if
the
BABLT
is not
used
with
an
appropriate filter-regulator.
To install a standard airbag
scissor
lift
table:
1. T
he
platform
must
be
lowered
and
the
scissor
table
fully
supported
when
moved
.
Move
the
unit into
place
with
straps or forks placed under the table's frame.
Use
care
to
avoid damage
to
the
pneumatic components inside
the
unit.
2. Incoming
air
supply must be clean, dry and regulated
to
a minimum
of
80
p.s.i.
No
lubrication
is
required and
it
is
not recommended.
3.
Temporarily connect the
air
supply
to
the
fitting
supplied in the
BABLT
frame,
and
raise
the
platform
so
the
BABLT's
safety maintenance props can be utilized. Lower the platform
so
the
unit
is
supported by the maintenance props.
o
If
the
platform must
be
raised without
first
having the proper
air
supply connected, raise the platform
at
the end
of
the
table through which
the
air
fitting
is
installed in
the
frame.
Use
caution
to
avoid damage
to
the perimeter
pinch point (toe) guard!
Use
lifting
chains
with
hooks
fastened
on
each end, near
the
hinges
Take
care
to
not
damage the hanging aluminum toe guard. Hold the frame down by standing
on
the
ends
of
the
shipping 4 x 4's
on
that
end
of
the
lift
while the platform is raised.
4. Anchor the frame
to
the
floor through the
9/16"
holes located
on
the
tabs welded
to
the outside
of
the frame.
5.
Shim
and/or grout under the
full
length
of
the frame sides.
6.
Make
permanent connection
to
the
air
supply,
using
an
appropriate
hoses
and
fittings.
7.
Clean
up any debris
and
verify
that
all
of
the
information/safety/warning labels are
in
good
condition.
8.
Ope
rate the
BABLT
through several cycles without a load. Verify
that
the
upper travel
limit
valve (mounted
to
the
frame)
and
the
toe guard valves (around
the
perimeter
of
the
platform) function properly.
9.
Check
for
system
air
leaks by raising
the
platform while
it
is unloaded
and
monitoring for downward drifts overa
period
of
15
minutes.

OPERATION
INSTRUCTIONS-BABLT
o Consult
ANSI
MH29.
1,
Section
12
for
the owner's I user's responsibilities regarding the operation, care, and
maintenance
of
this machine.
0
Ensure
that
all
employees involved in the operation
of
this
unit
understand and
follow
these instructions!
The standard model
sAsLT
is suitable
for
use
indoors
in
most non-classified industrial locations.
It
is intended
to
be
used
to
raise and lower stable, evenly-distributed, non-hazardous materials loads
and/or
containers (with rigid
sides
having a size
or
footprint approximately
the
same
size
as
the platform).
Loading:
The load rating, in pounds, is shown
on
the
machine dataplate located
on
the front side
lip
of
the
platform.
It
indicates the net capacity
of
the
scissor table
with
a static load
that
is centered and evenly distributed
on
the
platform.
Warning: The airbag table's rollers are not captured. Therefore, do
not
overhang any load
at
the
hinged end
of
the
platform -that could
cause
the
roller
end
of
the
platform
to
tip
up and dump the load. For applications involving side
or
end edge loading, consult
the
factory.
Note: The addition
of
any ancillary equipment
to
the
airbag scissor
lift
table by third parties must be taken into
account when determining the maximum working load
to
be placed
on
the
unit.
Warning:
Do
not
exceed the
BABLT's
load ratings. Injury
to
personnel
or
permanent damage
to
the
unit could result
from exceeding
the
listed capacity.
Operation:
Inspect
the
perimeter pinch point guards' operation daily.
Warning:
Keep
all
personnel clear
of
the
machine when
it
is in operation.
Be
certain no part
of
any person or object is
under any part
of
the platform before lowering
the
unit.
Caution: Always carefully watch
the
unit and any load
on
it
when
it
is in operation.
The
ABLT
is furnished with either a constant-pressure (dead-man style) pushbutton (standard) or
twin
foot pedal
(optional) control.
Pressing
the
"UP" pushbutton (or
foot
pedal)
will
open
the
valves
to
supply pressure
to
the airbag(s)
to
raise
the
platform. The platform
will
raise only while
the
control is pressed.
Upon
releasing
the
control, the platform
will
stop
and hold its position.
Pressing
the "D
OWN"
pushbutton (or foot pedal)
will
actuate the lowering valve
to
allow the platform
to
descend by
gravity. Again, releasing
the
control
will
stop the platform movement, and
the
unit
will
hold
its
position.
Note:
Due
to
the compressibility
of
air, adding or removing a load (or
part
of
a load) from the platform while
in
a
raised position
will
cause
the platform
to
position
to
change (raise or lower).
When
lowering the platform,
if
an
obstruction is encountered which activates
the
platform perimeter pinch point
(toe) guards, the
platfor
m
will
raise
until
the obstruction is cleared or
until
the
platform reaches is upper travel
limit.
Caution: Never
use
the
airbag table
if
any damage or unusual noise is observed,
ifit
is
in
need
of
repairs, or
ifit
seems
to
be malfunctioning. Notify your supervisor or maintenance personnel
if
you notice anything out
of
the ordinary.
Ensure
that
all
information/safety/warning labels stay
in
place
and
are legible. Refer
to
the labels
page
in
this
manual.
