SECTION 4 - MACHINE OPERATION

COMPONENTS, I.E. AXLES, AXLE BEARINGS, TORQUE LIMITING
CLUTCH, OR DRIVE GEARS.
1. Secure machine with an adequate chain attached
through the tie down bars at the front and back of
machine. (See Figure 4-2.)
2. The chain should be securely tightened with a force
of approximately 100 lb. applied two feet from the
pivot handle. (i.e.. the chain is properly tightened
when a 200 lb. load placed on the chain (a 200 lb.
man standing on the chain), just flexes the chain).
Fork-lift Truck Transport
IMPORTANT
ALWAYS RELEASE THE DRIVE MOTOR BRAKES AND SET THE EMER-
GENCY STOP BUTTON TO THE OFF POSITION, (DEPRESSED) ON
THE MACHINE WHEN MANUALLY PUSHING, PULLING, OR WHEN
TRANSPORTING MACHINE BY FORK-LIFT TRUCK. THIS WILL
ALLOW THE DRIVE MOTORS AND GEARS TO ROTATE WITH LEAST
RESISTANCE SHOULD THE DRIVE WHEELS COME IN CONTACT
WITH ANY SURFACE. IF CONTACT OF THE REAR DRIVE WHEELS
DOES OCCUR WHILE FORKLIFT TRUCKING, AT SPEEDS GREATER
THAN 2 MPH, DAMAGE COULD OCCUR TO THE MACHINES ELEC-
TRONIC CONTROLLER BOX, (DUE TO HIGH VOLTAGE BEING GENER-
ATED BY THE DRIVE MOTORS FEEDING BACK INTO THE
CONTROLLER BOX).
ALWAYS REMEMBER TO RE-ENGAGE THE BRAKE SYSTEM BEFORE
MACHINE OPERATION.
As standard equipment, all VPSP model lifts are equipped
with 7-1/2 in. wide fork-lift pockets running through the
base frame. This allows the machine to be either trans-
ported around a work area or lifted onto a higher level
using a standard fork-lift truck.
NOTE: Fork-lift trucks must be capable of handling the fol-
lowing weights:
