Hinged platform halves are secured with and
rotated on turnbuckles. Platform turnbuckles are
fully adjusted during assembly procedures (control
platform alignment and leveling). Turnbuckles
are disconnected from the platform brackets for
shipping purposes. Vibration during shipment can
potentially affect turnbuckle adjustment.
1. Using the hand pump, carefully deploy platform
to oor level. Be sure the platform stop blocks
are in contact with the vertical arms (Photo A).
Warning: Keep clear of platform area during
hand pump deployment. Hinged platform
halves are not secured and could free fall.
2. Manually unfold both platform halves. Keep
Hands Clear! The left platform tab must
engage the right platform slot. See Photo D.
3. Both platform halves must be laying at as
shown in Figure 2. Install the left turnbuckle
into the platform bracket with the turnbuckle
stud facing outward (Photo B, right side
shown). Adjust turnbuckle so stud enters
the platform bracket and no tension is on the
turnbuckle (adjust if needed only). No further
adjustment of the left turnbuckle is necessary.
4. Install right turnbuckle into the platform

Maintenance and Lubrication
W
ARNING
Maintenance and
lubrication procedures
must be performed as
specied by an
authorized service
technician. Failure to
do so may result in
serious bodily injury
and/or property
damage.
Proper maintenance is necessary to ensure safe,
trouble-free lift operation. Inspecting the lift for
any wear, damage or other abnormal conditions
should be a part of the transit agency daily service
program. Simple inspections can detect potential
problems.
Park vehicle on a level surface clear of trafc and
bystanders. Place vehicle transmission in “Park”
and engage parking brake. Deploy lift to ground
level. Provide adequate work space around fully-
deployed lift. Perform specied maintenance and
lubrication procedures (position lift as required).
Pump Module: When cleaning the exterior of
the pump module, rst disconnect the unit from
its power source. Do not use liquid cleaners,
aerosols, abrasive pads, scouring powders or
solvents, such as benzine or alcohol. Use a
soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent
solution. Ensure the surface cleaned is fully dry
before reconnecting power.
Other Components: Clean components and
the surrounding area before applying lubricants.
Clean only with mild detergent and water. Do not
clean with solvents. Allow the lift to dry thoroughly
and apply lubricants as specied after every
cleaning.
LPS2 General Purpose Penetrating Oil is recom-
mended where Light Oil is called out. Use of
improper lubricants can attract dirt or other con-
taminants which could result in wear or damage to
components. Plat-
form components
exposed to contami-
nants when lowered
to the ground may
require extra atten-
tion.
Perform mainte-
nance and lubrica-
tion procedures at
the scheduled inter-
vals according to the
number of cycles.
When servicing the
lift at the recommended intervals, inspection and
lubrication procedures specied in the previous
sections should be repeated.
These intervals are a general guideline for sched-
uling maintenance procedures and will vary ac-
cording to lift use and conditions. Lifts exposed to
severe conditions (weather, environment, contami-
nation, heavy usage, etc.) may require inspection
and maintenance procedures to be performed
more often than specied.
Records of maintenance and service procedures
should be maintained.
Discontinue lift use if maintenance and lubrication
procedures are not properly performed, or if there
is any sign of wear, damage or improper opera-
tion. Contact your sales representative.
