INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
G. TEST RUN (EMPTY)
DANGER !
Never go under a platform! To avoid personal injury or death, be sure the
platform has been blocked from underneath! See “Blocking Instructions.”
1. Bump the motor to check the rotation.
2. Turn on power and raise the Freightlift 6-12” (15-31cm).
CAUTION!
The pressure switch is not functional with temporary power! The power
unit will continue to run as long as the contact button is pressed.
Permanent damage to the lift may result if power to the electric motor is not
shut off once the carriage makes contact with the stop bolts.
CAUTION!
Take extreme caution when running the unit before mechanical stops
are installed and adjusted properly! Lift over-travel can cause severe
damage.
3. Is the platform carriage level?
4. Activate the down push button and lower the lift. Is the platform carriage stopping
square at the bottom level?
5. Raise the Freightlift 3-6 feet (.9m-1.83m) above the floor. Is everything okay?
Any unusual noises? Are masts stable or do they need additional bracing?
6. If you are satisfied with the alignment and structural integrity of the unit, run the
platform carriage higher, continuing to check the clearance and smoothness of
operation.
