Operating Instructions
1. Before loading and while stationary, lock the back
Casters (19) to prevent the Lift Table from moving.
2. The Table (1) is raised by pumping the Lifting Pedal
(27) with your foot until the desired height is achieved.
3. Once desired height is reached, swing down the
Safety Bars (7) on either side of the Lift Frame. This
will prevent any kind of uncontrolled Table drop.
4. To lower the Table, Squeeze the Release
Handle (22) at the top of the main Handle.
Note: Be sure to lift Safety Bars up, allowing the
Table to be completely lowered (if needed).

with a good quality grease.
2. Check for the free movement and wear
of the wheels. Replace if needed.

Handle to lower the Table, the Control
Cable (49) may need adjusting.

Bleeding Instructions
If the Lift Table is not performing properly, it may
be due to air in the hydraulic system. Follow
these steps to bleed air from the system.
1. Raise the Table to it’s highest position.
2. Swing down the two Safety Bars so that they both
rest on the top platform of the Base Assembly.

remove it with a large flat head screwdriver.
4. After the Oil Plug is removed, swing the two
Safety Bars back against their stops.
5. Squeeze the Release Handle to lower the Table. This
should purge the air out of the hydraulic system.
6. Raise the Table to it’s highest position and swing both
the Safety Bars down onto the Base Assembly (17).
7. Top off hydraulic fluid into the oil hole where the Oil Plug
goes until it is full. Note: make sure you use new oil.
8. Replace the Oil Plug by firmly
pressing it in while twisting it.
