WARNING
Mechanisms which lift
or move weights need
to be checked on a
yearly basis for any
damage which may
result in an accident
IMPORTANT
It is the responsiblity of
the installer to warn all
potential end users of
the dangers of interfering
with mechanisms during
operation

Firstly, remove all the red
cable ties which keep the
mechanism safe and
secure during transit.
There are usually 6 ties
in the locations circled
on the image, right.
However, on some models
there may be more than
6 cable ties.
Once they have all been
removed, the mechanism
can be powered up and
tested.
CONTROLS
Connect the supplied IR
remote and check that the
mechanism operates
correctly before continuing
with the installation.

Aluminum
Flap
6mm Flap
DETAIL A
SCALE 1 : 4
Take care when fixing the surfaces
together. Place the objects on a
flat surface to make sure the edges
are properly alligned when they
come into contact.
Try to use as many self
adhesive pads as possible
to get the most secure fixture.
4 holes to be drilled in base panel.
These holes should be
12mm to allow for adjustment later.
Use frame as a template to mark hole locations.
Example hole locations shown above
are for the Group A frame.
The surfaces of the flap should
ideally be varnished or painted
to help prevent it from warping.
Base
The 6mm flap and the base should
be made as part of the cabinet.
Stage 2
Fitting flap and base to mechanism
FIXING
Bolt through the support
frame then through base
panel into the black plates
on the beam using
M8 x 30mm or
M8 x 35mm bolts
Make sure the base panel
lines up squarely, directly
on top of the lifting beam.
Consult
ML TECHNICAL SHEET
before fabricating any
flaps or base panels.

Stage 3
Fixing the lift in the cabinet
Place the mechanism within the cabinet.
Raise the beam to the top and carfully guide
the base through the opening in the top.
With the base properly located, use the 8
pointed screws supplied, 4 on each side,
to pin the mechanism in place, fixing its
position left and right. These 8 screws
should be screwed through the middle
hole of each of the clusters of 3,
shown below right.
With the lift fixed in position, use 8 wood
screws on each side to secure the
lift to the cabinet.

Loosen off the frame and move the
base to the centre of the opening.
There should be a gap of about 3mm
around the edges of the base panel
to the cabinet.
HOLE FOR
CABLES
You will also have to
cut a hole in the base
panel to allow the cables
to pass up through
to the plasma screen.
The location of this hole
will depend on the screen
type that is going
to be used.

Stage 6
Adjusting the flap-up position
CABINET TOP - SIDE VIEW
By adjusting the white screw,
at each side of the lift, you can
adjust the tilt of the flap.
CABINET TOP - PLAN VIEW
By loosening the M6 bolts on each
side under the flap, you can adjust
the position of the flap in the hole
in the cabinet top. Aim for a
3mm gap all round.
CABINET TOP - SIDE VIEW
By winding the push rods on each side, you can
adjust the height of the flap in order to get it level
with the cabinet top. Be sure to lock the nut securely
once adjusted. Make sure the black plate doesn't
touch the inside of the cabinet. This can cause
strain on the motor, leading to failure.
