The lifting mechanism of the AIR-2000 series of scissor lift cart will operate both pneumatically (using
factory air) and hydraulically by means of the manually-actuated foot pump. There are 2 swivel casters at
the back of the cart to provide 360 degree range of motion; two fixed casters at the front of the cart provide
stability while the cart travels. In operation, either pressurized air or pressurized hydraulic fluid causes a
cylinder to extend. Cylinder extension in turn causes the scissor leg assemblies to pivot and raise the deck.
OPERATION
This scissor lift cart is suitable for use indoors in most non-classified industrial locations as well as in
many commercial locations. Its intended use is to support and transport stable, evenly-distributed,
non-hazardous materials having dimensions or a footprint approximately equal to or smaller than the
platform.
Loading & Using the Cart:
WARNING: Improper use of this cart could result in serious injuries.
 The platform rollers are not captured, which means that the platform pivots at the end near the handle.
The end of the platform opposite the handle can lift off of the rollers. Therefore, you must NOT position
any load on the platform at the hinged end of the platform because the roller end of the platform might
tip up and dump the load. Always center and evenly distribute the load on the platform. The load should
not overhang the platform, either.
 Keep clear of the scissor/leg mechanisms while raising or lowering the platform.
 Before raising the platform, always engage the caster lock (against the floor).
 The load rating in pounds is shown on a label affixed to the cart. This label indicates the net capacity of
the scissor lift with a static load that is centered and evenly distributed on the platform.
The platform should be fully lowered whenever a load is transported with the cart. Failure to do so
could result in injury to personnel or damage to product or equipment due to the lift and its load becoming
unstable during transport.
- Unit is set up to use the foot pump when received.
- To use the air option, attach an air hose to the air-port & use the hand control to raise or lower the
platform.
- The foot pump can be used even if the air hose is plugged into the unit.
- The foot pump has 2 speeds – if the load is not going up or the foot pedal is hard to move, switch the foot
pump speed selection lever to the lower speed.
