AIR BAG REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT
WARNING!
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
To avoid personal injury, NEVER go under the lift platform until the load is
removed and the scissors mechanism is securely blocked in the open
position. See the "Lift Blocking Instructions" section.
1.
Raise the lift from the clevis end. If the lift cannot be raised with the air supply,
place a hook under the clevis end of the platform and raise it with a chain fall or
other similar means.
2. Disconnect the main air supply.
3. Block the lift open (see “Lift Blocking Instructions”).
4. Tilt the roller end of the platform all the way back.
5.
Remove the air line and bolts from the old air bag. Unbolt the air bag from the
base assembly.
6.
Install the new air bag. Bolt the bottom first, then manually extend the air bag
and bolt the top. NOTE: The bolts must tightened such that the four bolts
opposite each other are tightened in sequence (example: first north, then south,
then east, then west).
7.
Connect the air line to the air bag.
8.
Connect the main air supply.
9.
Return the platform to its original position.
10.
Raise the lift slightly and remove the maintenance lock.
NOTE: This job should require one to two hours of time, depending on the
experience of the service technician.
