Hazards
There are several hazards you should be aware of as you service the unit:
DANGER!
The unit uses a power supply of 115 Volts AC. This voltage can kill you.
DON’T WORK ON THE ELECTRICAL PARTS UNLESS YOU ARE A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN!
WARNINGS!
•As the unit moves up and down, “pinch points” are formed as shown in Fig. 2. KEEP HANDS, FEET AND LOOSE CLOTHING AWAY FROM THESE PINCH POINTS. If your hand or arm or a part of your clothing is caught, you may be hurt.
•Before performing any maintenance on the unit, lower the platform completely. Failure to do so could result in severe personal injury.
•You should not have to do any maintenance work with the platform raised. All normal maintenance can be done with the platform lowered. However, if you ever need to work under the platform, you must be careful to do this safely. Raise the platform until you can insert the safety pins on each side. The pins are shown in Fig. 6. Finally, unplug the power cord. DO NOT WORK UNDER THE PLATFORM UNTIL YOU HAVE INSERTED THE PINS. If you fail to do this, the platform may drop suddenly. You may be hurt.
•The relief valve has been included for the protection of all of the workers who use the unit. DON’T CHANGE THE RELIEF SETTING! If the relief valve does not open when it should, the unit may fail. Someone may be hurt, and the unit and load may be damaged.
•If the hydraulic fluid is released under high pressure, it can cause personal injury. Before you open any part of the hydraulic system, BE SURE TO RELEASE THE HYDRAULIC PRESSURE. You can do this by lowering the platform all the way down.
