Functions

Operating Instructions

****Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section at the beginning of this manual including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.

Tool Set Up

Note : The Control Lever (102) controls the operation of the Hydraulic Ram unit. To lower the Ram and Table, squeeze the Control Lever. When the Control Lever is released, the Ram and Table movement will stop and the table will remain stationary.

Bleeding the Hydraulic Ram

Note : Before using this tool, the hydraulic ram must be purged of air (called bleeding).

1. Raise the Table (141) with no load. To do this, first release the Control Lever (102), then repeatedly pump the Foot Pedal (139).
2. When the table has been raised, remove the Filler Bolt (242) from the Housing (241). Use a rag to catch any fluid leaks. Keeping your hands and tools clean, squeeze the Control Lever while pumping the Foot Pedal several times rapidly.
3. Release the Control Lever, and pump more slowly to raise the Table to its full height.
4. Add good quality hydraulic fluid into the opening in the Housing where the Filler Bolt has been removed. Fill until the Housing will hold no more fluid.
5. Replace the Filler Bolt and its Seal Washer (243) into the Housing, tighten, but do not overtighten to avoid damaging the Washer.
6. Check the condition of the Hydraulic Lift Table before use. Raise and lower it several times before adding any load. Be sure that all controls work properly.

Work Piece and Work Area Set Up

1. Designate a work area that is clean and well-lit. The work area must not allow access by children or pets to prevent distraction and injury.
2. Use the Table on a flat, hard, level surface that is free of debris. Sweep area clean of dirt and debris if needed.

General Operating Instructions

1. Unfold the Handle (101) by lifting it up to a vertical position until it locks in place.
2. Before placing anything on the cart, lock the back two casters. The Locking Swivel Casters (118) can be locked by pressing the lever down into the locked position with your foot. Test the cart operation using the Foot Pedal (139) and Control Lever (102). Make sure the Table (141) raises and lowers properly before adding weight to the Table.
3. Observing safe lifting procedures, move the work piece onto the cart. If necessary, secure the item onto the cart using tiedowns or chocks to keep it stable while moving.
4. Release the Locking Swivel Casters by moving the levers to the unlock position. Move the work piece to the desired location.
5. Before raising the workpiece, re-lock the Locking Swivel Casters.
6. To raise the Table, ensure that the Control Lever is in the released position. Press repeatedly on the Foot Pedal to raise the table.
7. To lower the Table squeeze the Control Lever. The Table has a 2-speed valve. Squeeze the Lever halfway for slowly lowering a load. Squeeze it fully for quickly lowering the Table when empty.
8. To prevent accidents, when finished using the cart, move the cart to a safe location, lock the Locking Swivel Casters, lower the Table as far as it will go. Clean, then store the cart indoors out of children’s reach.

Maintenance and Servicing

****Procedures not specifically explained in this manual must be performed only by a qualified technician.

TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY :
Remove load from Lift Table before service. Lower table when possible before service.
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM TOOL FAILURE :
Do not use damaged equipment. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have the problem corrected before further use.

Cleaning, Maintenance, and Lubrication

1. BEFORE EACH USE, inspect the general condition of the tool. Check for loose hardware, misalignment or binding of moving parts, cracked or broken parts, damaged electrical wiring, and any other condition that may affect its safe operation.

2. For convenient storage, the handle can be folded down. To do this, press down on the Locking Bar (117), then press down on the Handle (101).
   Note : The Table (141) must be completely lowered before folding down the Handle.

3. For best service, keep your Hydraulic Cart clean and in good condition.

4. Store your Hydraulic cart in a location where it is protected from moisture, dirt and corrosive atmosphere. Protect it from being damaged from other items being moved in and out of its storage area.

5. Occasionally apply light grease to the hinge points of the Scissor Arm Assembly (151) and other pivot points of the assembly. Wipe off excess grease, as this will attract dirt.

6. Do not overload this cart, as that may cause damage to the seals. If the Table will not raise, or slowly lowers, the cause may be damaged seals or low hydraulic oil level. To fix this condition, first try the purging technique discussed on page 5 of this booklet. If that doesn’t work, take the Hydraulic Table Cart to a qualified technician for repair.

7. Occasionally check the condition of the wheels. They should be kept free of grease and oil, which may damage the rubber tires. Occasionally add grease to the grease fittings on each wheel.

8. AFTER USE, wipe external surfaces of the tool with clean cloth.
