INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION - MODEL EHLT
Review this entire page before installing the lift. Consult the factory in the event there are any questions or problems at
the time of installation.
The scissor-lift must be removed from the shipping wood and securely anchored to the floor before use!
• The standard model scissor lift table is suitable for use indoors in most industrial locations and many commercial
locations, and is typically provided as a turnkey system. Anchoring the unit to the floor and an electrical supply is
typically all that is required for installation.
• Modifications or additions to the lift without prior manufacturer's authorization may void the lift's warranty (see ANSI
MH29.1, Safety Requirements for Scissor Lifts, section 12.6). The addition of ancillary equipment to the platform
may necessitate that its load capacity be reduced.
• The installation must be made so that it complies with all the regulations applicable to the machine and its location.
The end-user must verify that the supplied equipment is installed so it will be suited to the environment in which it will
be used.
• Installation must be performed by suitably trained personnel with access to the appropriate equipment. The electrical
aspects of the installation should be performed by an electrician.
Note: If the unit is to be placed into a pit, you will need to first determine how the required electrical (and
possibly hydraulic) connections will be made once the unit is in place.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For installation you will need the following:
1. A fork truck or hoisting means.
2. Lag bolts, a masonry drill, a masonry bit, a wrench to fit the lag bolt nuts, grout, and steel shims. Consult the
building's architect or facility engineer to determine the best size and type of hardware with which to anchor the
machine to the floor.
3. A power supply circuit matching the motor voltage and current requirements. Refer to the labels on the control
enclosure and to the electrical section in this manual for more information. The end-user is responsible for supplying
the branch circuit's required overcurrent and short-circuit protection.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Move the lift into place with straps or forks placed under the table's frame. Use care to avoid damage to the
electrical or hydraulic components inside the lift.
2. Temporarily connect the power supply to the pigtail cord supplied with the table, and raise the platform so the table's
safety maintenance props can be utilized. Lower the platform so the unit is supported by the props.
3. Anchor the frame to the floor through the 3/4" holes located near the frame corners.
4. Shim and/or grout under the full length of the frame sides.
5. Make permanent connection to the power supply, using an appropriate wiring method.
6. Operate the lift through several full up/down cycles. Verify that the upper travel limit switch (mounted in the frame)
and the toe guard switches (around the perimeter of the platform) function property.
7. Check the hydraulic oil level. It should be filled to within 1" to 1-1/2" of the reservoir's fill hole. If oil is needed, use an
anti-wear hydraulic oil with a viscosity grade of 150 SUS at 100°F (ISO 32 at 40°C) or a non-synthetic automatic
transmission fluid.
8. Clean up any debris or spilled oil, and verify that all of the warning and safety labels are intact.
If the platform must be raised without first having the proper power supply connected, raise the platform at the end of
the table through which the power supply cord enters the frame. Use caution to avoid damage to the perimeter pinch
(toe) guard! Use lifting chains with hooks fastened on each side, near the end of the platform, or insert a lift truck's forks
under the end of the platform.
Take care to not damage the hanging aluminum toe guard. Hold the frame down by
standing on the ends of the shipping 4 x 4's on that end of the lift while the platform is raised.
