Scissor Lift by Draper
Installing Optional Ceiling Closure Panel— Size "B" or "E"
If your Scissor Lift is equipped with a "B" or "E" ceiling closure panel, it can be used as is, or in conjunction with a piece of existing ceiling tile.
➀If installing with ceiling tile, you may need to cut tile so overall dimensions are
the same as (or slightly less than) the closure panel. Place tile into trim frame. Lay closure panel on top (back side) of tile & tighten screws to hold in place.
➁Attach provided angle brackets to side of bottom of Scissor Lift.
➂For larger units, attach short angle brackets to ends of long angle brackets.
➃ Attach 5/16" threaded rods to angle bracket.
➄ Run unit “up” until bottom pan stops at highest position. Mark position on 5/16" rods even with ceiling level and cut to length (remove from pan if convenient).
➅ Run unit “down” until bottom pan stops at “show” position.
➆ Attach closure to lower end of 5/16" rods by slipping into four corner slots and secure with nuts above and below slots.
➇ Run unit “up” again to highest position. Measure distance by which panel fails to reach required “closed” height for surrounding ceiling.
➈ Run unit “down” then
➉ Test unit operation to confirm that panel will stop in closed position just before touching ceiling.
NOTE: Immediately upon completion of the surrounding ceiling, unit should be operated to confirm that optional ceiling closure panel stops just short of touching ceiling in closed position.
Installing Optional Ceiling Closure—All other Sizes
Your Scissor Lift can be equipped with an optional ceiling closure system. To install it:
➀Remove closure and all mounting hardware from carton.
➁Optional ceiling closure can be mounted in either of the following styles:
A.If ceiling tile is to be inserted in the closure, this may be done now, or later when the rest of the ceiling is installed (permitting a better match). Cut tile so that its overall dimensions are the same as (or slightly less than) the closure panel. Attach to the closure panel with adhesive.
B.Position one
C.Follow same procedure with remaining 3 tees.
NOTE: Since tees comprise part of exposed trim, care should be taken to ensure accurate fit.
➂Attach two (2) mounting angles to the corresponding holes in the bottom
pan with the supplied hardware.

➃Attach other two (2) mounting angles at 90° to previous angles (right to left) in the corresponding holes with the supplied hardware.
➄Attach one of four 3/8" threaded rods by passing the rod through one of the four corner holes, in the angles and secure with nuts top and bottom.
Approximately ½" of rod should extend above angle.

➅Run unit “up” until bottom pan stops at highest position. Mark position on
3/8" rod that is even with ceiling level and cut rod to length (removing it from
pan if convenient). Cut remaining three rods to same length.
➆Run unit “down” until bottom pan stops at “show” position. Secure all four 3/8" rods to traveling pan in same fashion as first one.
➇Attach closure to lower end of each 3/8" rod using two remaining nuts on each rod to firmly clamp fixtures on top of panel.
➈Run unit “up” again to highest position. Measure distance by which panel
fails to reach required “closed” height for surrounding ceiling.
➉Run unit “down” then readjust mounting of 3/8" rods in traveling grid to raise panel required distance.
NOTE: Rods should not extend more than 1" above the angles attached to the pan. Cut extra rod off if necessary.
