OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS - HT-A
LOADING:
The load rating, in pounds, is shown on the capacity tag located on the base. It indicates the net capacity of the table, assuming
a centered load. Permanent damage to the table or injury to personnel could result from exceeding the listed capacity.
The load size should not exceed the table dimensions by more than 50% and should not exceed twenty-four inches in height.
Do not use the base of the hydraulic table as a storage shelf.
OPERATION:
The manually-powered hydraulic tables are furnished with a foot-pump. On the single and two-post tables, step on the foot
treadle to raise the table and step on the release lever on the right side of the pump to lower the table.
The four-post table has a two-speed foot pump, separate from the lifting cylinder. Step on the foot treadle to raise the table.
You can change the pump from the low-volume to high-volume by pulling the slide on top of the foot pump back toward the
foot treadle.
SAFETY:
Keep all personnel clear of the machine when it is in operation.
Do not exceed the table's load rating.
Use caution to avoid tipping the table when placing or sliding a load onto or off of the table.
Avoid obstacles that can cause the base to sudden stop when moving a loaded table, such as cracks in the floor or the corners
of machines, etc. Doing so could cause the post table to tip over or allow the load to slide off the table.
Never use the table if it is in need of repairs or if it seems to be malfunctioning.
Notify your maintenance personnel if you notice anything out of the ordinary, such as odd noises, erratic motion, or damage
to any part of the table or its components.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE & SAFETY CHECKS - HT, LDLT
Care should be taken to identify all potential hazards and comply with applicable safety procedures before beginning
work. Only qualified individuals trained to understand mechanical devices and their associated electrical and hydraulic
circuits should attempt troubleshooting and repair of this equipment.
(A) Before each use inspect the following, where applicable:
1.) Oil leaks.
2.) Pinched or chafed hoses.
3.) Damage or structural deformation to the structural members, the cylinder, the foot pump, etc.
4.) Unusual noise or binding or evidence thereof.
(B) Inspect monthly for, where applicable:
1.) The oil level. Oil should be 1" to 1 1/2" below the cylinder's or the reservoir's fill hole with the lift in
the fully lowered position.
2.) Oil leaks.
3.) Worn or damaged hydraulic hoses and electrical wires, if applicable.
4.) Integrity of the retaining rings and pins at all pivot points.
5.) Looseness, wear, or damage to the casters' bearings, mounting hardware, or surface material.
6.) Unusual noises.
7.) Information and warning labels being in place and in good condition.
8.) The need to clean off dirt and debris.
(C) Yearly inspection
The oil should be changed if the oil darkens, becomes gritty, or turns a milky color (indicating the presence
of water). Replace with an anti-wear hydraulic oil with a viscosity grade of 150 SUS at 100°F, (ISO 32 @ 40°C).
Ex: AW 32 or HO 150 hydraulic fluid, or non-synthetic transmission fluid.
