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.

1. Lock the back Casters to prevent the Lift Table from moving.

2. Raise the Lift Table by pumping the Pump Lever.

3. Once the desired height is reached, engage the Safety Bars on sides of the Lift Frame by swinging them back towards the handle. Lower the table slightly and make sure the bars lock in place. See Figure E. This helps prevent uncontrolled Lift Table drop.

6. Squeeze the Control Lever (33) to slowly lower the Lift Table.

Maintenance

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

WARNING: 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,
   • caster brake function,
   • hydraulic fluid leakage (hydraulic components not user-serviceable)
   • cracked or broken parts, and
   • any other condition that may affect its safe operation.

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

3. If the Control Lever Does not lower the Lift Table easily, adjust the Pull Rod (32).
   WARNING! Press the Control Lever only halfway down during adjustment. This will allow the Lift Table to lower slowly for safety purposes.
   a. With assistance, tip over Table Cart.
   b. Loosen the Bolt (35) and Nut (25) and adjust the Pull Rod until it is tight.
   c. Re-fasten the Nut and Bolt. Then test the Control Lever, making sure it is pressed halfway down.

Bleeding Instructions

If the Lift Table is not performing properly, it may be due to air in the hydraulic system. Follow these steps to bleed air from the system.

1. Raise the Lift Table to its highest position.
2. Swing down the two Safety Bars so that they both rest on the top platform of the Base Assembly.
3. Carefully remove the rubber Fluid Plug (4a).
4. After the Fluid Plug is removed, swing the two Safety Bars back against their stops.
5. Squeeze the Control Lever to lower the Lift Table. This should purge the air out of the hydraulic system.
6. Raise the Lift Table to its highest position and swing both Safety Bars down onto the Base Assembly (17).
7. Fill the Fluid Tank (5a) with new Hydraulic Fluid (not included).
8. Replace the Fluid Plug by firmly pressing it into the fluid hole while twisting it.
