Autoquip DOUBLE ARM SCISSOR LIFT TABLE - Manual (Page 24)

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION!
Familiarize yourself with this operator’s manual before
operating this equipment.
1. Scissors lifts have maximum lifting capacity ratings (See the “Specifications”
section). The safety relief valve has been factory set to open at a point slightly
above the rated load and allows the oil to bypass into the reservoir. The safety
relief valve should not be adjusted for any reason as it could cause the
motor to prematurely burn out. Applying loads exceeding the rated capacity of
the lift may result in excessive wear and damage to the lift.
2. This type of lift is designed primarily for in-plant applications and is furnished with
a constant pressure foot switch or PUSH BUTTON controls. Actuating the "UP"
button will cause oil to enter the cylinders and the lift will rise.
3. When the desired height or upward travel of the platform is attained, removing
the operators’ foot or hand from the switch deactivates the “UP” circuit button.
The oil stops flowing and the upward
movement will stop.
4. To lower the lift, activate the "DOWN" button. Opening the down control valve
allows the oil in the cylinders to flow through the down valve at a controlled rate
and return oil to the reservoir.
5. When the desired height or downward travel of the platform is attained,
removing the operator’s foot or hand from the switch deactivates the “DOWN”
circuit. The oil stops flowing from the cylinders and the downward movement
will stop.
WARNING !
Personnel should always maintain a safe operating distance of
at least 36” any time the lift is operated up or down.
NOTICE !
Do not operate the power unit on relief for more than a few
seconds. When on relief, the valve will make a squealing sound.
