OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS - EHLT & PST
Consult ANSI MH29.1, Section 12 for the owner's/user's responsibilities regarding the operation, care, and
maintenance of this machine.
Ensure that all employees involved in the operation of this lift understand and follow the following instructions!
LOADING:
The load rating, in pounds, is shown on the machine dataplate located on the right corner of the hinged end of the
platform. It indicates the net capacity of the lift with the load centered and evenly distributed on the platform.
Warning: The platform's rollers are not captured. Therefore, do not overhang any load at the hinged end of the platform
- that could cause the roller end of the platform to tip up and dump the load. For applications involving side or end edge
loading, consult the factory.
Note: The addition of any ancillary equipment to the platform by third parties must be taken into account when
determining the maximum working load to be placed on the table.
Warning: Do not exceed the lift's load ratings. Permanent damage to the lift or injury to personnel could result from
exceeding the listed capacity.
OPERATION:
Inspect the perimeter pinch point guards' operation daily.
Warning: Keep all personnel clear of the machine when it is in operation. Be certain no part of any person or object is under
any part of the platform before lowering the unit.
Caution: Always carefully watch the lift and any load on it when it is in operation.
The lift is furnished with either a constant-pressure (dead-man style) push button (standard) or twin foot switch (optional)
control.
Pressing the "UP" push-button or foot switch will turn on the power unit to raise the platform. The platform will raise only while
the control is pressed. Upon releasing the control, the platform will stop and hold its position.
Pressing the "DOWN" push-button or foot switch will energize the lowering valve to allow the platform to descend by gravity
(the motor does not run). Again, releasing the control will stop the platform movement, and the unit will hold its position.
Caution: Never use the lift if any damage or unusual noise is observed, if it is in need of repairs, or if it seems to be
malfunctioning. Notify your supervisor or maintenance personnel if you notice anything out of the ordinary.
On DC-powered units, attempting to raise the lift when the battery is low will cause the motor relay protection to prevent the
motor's operation. Adequate battery voltage is indicated by a green LED on the motor relay. See the next page for more
notes regarding operation of battery-powered units.
Ensure that all safety and warning labels stay in place and are legible. Refer to the labels page in this manual.
