2.0 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. When using this lift, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following (where
applicable).
2. Read all instructions in this manual and literature provided with lift thoroughly before installing, operating,
servicing or maintaining the lift.
3. Care must be taken as burns can occur from touching hot parts.
4. Do not operate equipment with a damaged cord or if the equipment has been dropped or damaged – until it
has been examined by a qualified service person.
5. Do not let a cord hang over the edge of the table, bench, or counter or come in contact with hot manifolds or
moving fan blades.
6. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a current rating equal to or more than that of the equipment
should be used. Cords rated for less current than the equipment may overheat. Care should be taken to
arrange the cord so that it will not be tripped over or pulled.
7. Always unplug equipment from electrical outlets when not in use. Never use the cord to pull the plug from the
outlet. Grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
8. Let equipment cool completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely around equipment when storing.
9. To reduce the risk of fire, do not operate equipment in the vicinity of open containers of flammable liquids
(gasoline).
10. Adequate ventilation should be provided when working on operating internal combustion engines.
11. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from moving parts.
12. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use wet surfaces or exposure to rain.
13. Use only as described in this manual. Use only the manufacturer’s recommended attachments.
14. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact-resistant lenses, they are not
safety glasses.
15. Inspect lift daily. Do not operate if it malfunctions or problems have been encountered.
16. Never attempt to overload the lift. Do not override the operating controls or the warranty will be void.
17. Only trained and authorized personnel should operate the lift. Do not allow customers or bystanders to operate

7.2 OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before using this machine formally, please read this operating instruction carefully. Only trained and authorized
personnel should operate the lift.
7.2.1PALL ETJACK
Before moving the table, the load platform must have been lowered fully.
The Pallet Jack is used to move the lift by lifting its base off the floor.
Always descend the base onto the floor before raising.
The Pallet Jack is operated by a handgrip and a lever inside the grip.
Push down the LEVER (down, ascent) and move up and down the handgrip to raise the base frame of the lift.
Keep the LEVER at a neutral position when moving the lift.
Pull up the LEVER to descend the base frame of the lift.
7.2.2FLEXIBLELIFTINGPLATFORM
Before loading operation, run the lifting table without load for a complete cycle to ensure it is in good condition.
Get familiar with lift controls by running the lift without a load through a few cycles.
The load-carrying table shall be observed by the operator throughout the motion of the lift table.
Do not try to move the lifting table when its platform is raised with the load. ONLY move when the lifting table is
completely lowered.
The flexible platform is designed with a three-layer structure, and the diagram is as follows:

7.2.2.1 RETRACTABLE DECK
Use the length adjustment function when it is necessary to fix extra fixtures during maintenance service or to
carry larger loads.
Its length can be easily adjusted by adjusting the thumbscrew.
Fig.7.2.2.1.1 Retractable Deck
7.2.2.2 ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM
In case the intended load is not perfectly horizontal, tilting the platform slightly can assure better contact
between the platform and load. Through the three-layer structure, BT3300 can realize the all-around multi-angle
step-less adjustment. More support points also make its structure much more stable.
Tilt by adjusting the adjustable handle (Fig.7.2.2.2.1).

7.2.2.3 MOVABLE DECK
The movable deck can be horizontally moved within 25mm by releasing the handle.
When there is a slight deviation to align the fixture, release the handle and the movable deck can be moved to a
certain position that is suitable to align the fixture with the intended load.
When the alignment is finished, push the handle back to make the platform static.

Meet UL Certification Requirements
According to the requirements of the UL standard, the height of the console from the ground must be
greater than 460mm. This machine meets this standard.
Limit Bolt & Limit Switch
We designed the limit bolts to allow the minimum height of this machine to be adjustable. Moreover, this
design can better fit the load platform according to the actual situation
Based on safety considerations, we have added limit switches. This is to prevent the console from loading
the battery with the extreme tilt deck.
Frame
To protect the power unit, we have set up a final protective barrier——Stronger Frame. This barrier will only
