position. See "Lift Blocking Instructions" section.

DANGER!

To avoid personal injury, stand clear of scissors leg mechanism while lift is
in motion.

DANGER!

Do not install the lift in a pit unless it has a bevel toe guard or other
approved toe protection. A shear point can exist which can cause severe
injury to the foot.

DANGER!

HIGH VOLTAGE!! Disconnect and/or lock out the electrical supply to the
power unit per OSHA Lock-Out, Tag-Out procedures prior to any
maintenance being performed.

DANGER!

Extending the platform length or width beyond the factory limit could cause the
unit to tip, which could result in personal injury or death.
6
 SAFETY PRACTICES

DANGER !

Do not attempt to remove the velocity fuse until the maintenance leg
securely supports the lift and all hydraulic pressure has been removed from
the lifting cylinders and hydraulic hoses. Failure to do so could results in
personal injury or death!

DANGER !

Failure to relieve lift table system pressure could result in the sudden and
unexpected release of pressure during maintenance and/or repair of the lift
and result in severe injury to personnel and/or damage to the lift.

WARNING !

Do not make modifications to the lift or add unauthorized or unspecified

components to the lift. Modifications to the lift can result in unsafe
operating conditions which could lead to serious injury or death.

WARNING!

Do not operate this equipment without handrails and snap chains in place.

WARNING!

Under no circumstances should the speed control orifice be removed from

the Deltatrol to obtain faster lowering speed. A loaded lift can reach
dangerous and destructive speed!!

7
 SAFETY PRACTICES

WARNING!

All warning and information decals should be in place as outlined in the

“Label Identification” section. If decals are missing or damaged, they
should be replaced with new ones. Contact an Autoquip representative for
replacements.

WARNING!

Lift platforms traveling below floor levels my create openings, and the
shape of the load and how the load is arranged on the lift may create a toe
hazard as the load passes the top edge of the pit. Both situations may
require guarding in accordance with Federal Regulations. Any such
guarding must be installed prior to operating the lift

CAUTION !

Lifts should not be overloaded beyond the established capacity as damage

and/or personal injury may result.

CAUTION !

Only trained and qualified personnel should operate this equipment.

CAUTION !

Whenever raising or lowering the lift, personnel should maintain a safe

operating distance of at least 36” to avoid personal injury.

8
 SAFETY PRACTICES

CAUTION !

Any lift which has a hinged throw-over bridge damaged to the point of
hanging more than 30 degrees below horizontal is in violation of the safety
standards set forth in ANSI MH29.1 and MUST be taken out of service until
the bridge is repaired or replaced. Failure to do so could result in severe
personal injury or permanent damage to the lift.

CAUTION!
Never run the pump for more than a couple of seconds without pumping oil.
This applies to low oil conditions, improper motor rotation, running the
pump against the relief pressure after the lift is fully raised against the
physical stops, running overloaded beyond capacity, or running at reduced
speed because of pinched or obstructed hydraulic lines.

CAUTION!
Do not continue to depress the “UP” button on the controller if the lift is not
raising or if the lift has reached the fully raised position. To do so may
result in permanent damage to the motor or pump.

CAUTION!
Do not operate the power unit on relief for more than a few seconds. When
on relief, the valve will make a squealing sound.

CAUTION!
Precautions should be taken to prevent the introduction of contaminates
such as dirt or other foreign material into the system through open fittings,
pipes or disassembled components. Contamination will ruin the hydraulic
system.

CAUTION!
Use only approved oils in the lift. See “Specifications” section.

* All PLT Models have 60-inch travel.

NOTE: All PLT Series Lifts have a rollover capacity equal to twice the lifting capacity when in
the fully lowered position.

LOAD CAPACITY
The load capacity rating is stamped on a metal plate attached to one side of the lift.
This figure is a net capacity rating for a lift furnished with the standard platform. The
relief valve of the pumping unit has been set to raise the weight, plus a small amount for
overload. Where gravity roll-sections, special tops, etc, are installed on the lift after
leaving the plant, deduct the weight of these from the load rating to obtain the net
capacity.

CAUTION!

Lifts should not be overloaded beyond the established capacity

as damage and/or personal injury may result.

14
 SPECIFICATIONS

UNBALANCED LOADING
The stabilization provided is basically for balanced loads. If special attachments extend
beyond the length and/or width dimensions of the platform, the end and/or side load
capacity must be reduced (contact an Autoquip Sales representative).

PUMP PRESSURE

This lift incorporates a positive displacement pump machined to a high degree of

accuracy and specially adapted to requirements of higher-pressure ranges over that of
a standard pump. Therefore, standard factory models of the same manufacture cannot
replace it.

The pump can operate efficiently at intermittent pressures up to 3200 PSI and
continuous duty to 2500 PSI. The safety relief valve in the pump assembly is factory-
set to stay within the parameters of the pump and lift requirements.

15
 LIFT BLOCKING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING !

Only trained and qualified personnel should perform inspection

or maintenance and service procedures.

DANGER !

Failure to properly adhere to lift blocking procedures is to risk

the sudden and uncontrolled descent of the lift during
maintenance or inspection. A falling lift can cause severe injury
or death.

This procedure describes the only factory-approved method of working under a lift table.
Follow these instructions ANY time you plan to reach or work beneath the lift – no
matter how momentary that might be.

If the factory-provided maintenance device is damaged or missing, stop immediately

and consult the factory for assistance. The manufacturer is not liable for your failure to
use the approved maintenance devices and procedures that have been provided.

1. All load must be removed from the lift prior to engaging the maintenance device.
These devices are designed to support an unloaded lift only. Failure to remove
the load from the lift prior to blocking could allow the lift to fall unexpectedly,
resulting in permanent damage to or failure of the maintenance device and/or lift
table.

2. Raise the lift to its fully raised position. If you do not, the maintenance device
may not be able to be placed properly in its designed blocking position.

3. Remove the maintenance leg from its storage location on the clevis end of the lift
- either under the platform or between the legs. Place one end of the
maintenance leg in the socket on the base frame of the lift (See Figure 10).

4. Lower the lift platform until it comes down and makes contact with the
maintenance leg within the circular socket welded underneath the platform.
Check again to ensure that the device is inside the maintenance collar and in
contact with the platform deck surface. If the maintenance leg is not fully
engaged the lift could fall unexpectedly, resulting in permanent damage to the
devices or the lift table.

16
LIFT BLOCKING INSTRUCTIONS

DANGER !

If for any reason you are unable to lower the lift completely onto
the maintenance device(s), stop immediately and consult the
factory. Failure to properly use the factory approved
maintenance device(s) could result in severe injury or death.

5. Once the maintenance device(s) are properly engaged, continue to press the
down button or switch for an additional 5-10 seconds to relieve all
hydraulic/pneumatic pressure in the system.

DANGER !

Failure to relieve lift table system pressure could result in the

sudden and unexpected release of pressure during maintenance
and/or repair of the lift and result in severe injury to personnel
and/or damage to the lift.

6. Follow OSHA lock-out/tag-out procedures. Disconnect and tag all electrical

and/or other power sources to prevent an unplanned or unexpected actuation of
the lift.

7. Once inspection or work is complete, reverse steps 1-6 above to raise the lift off
the maintenance devices and place the devices back into their designated
storage positions.

DANGER !
HIGH VOLTAGE!! – Disconnect and/or lock out the electrical
supply to the power unit per OSHA Lock-Out, Tag-Out
procedures prior to any installation or maintenance being
performed.

 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING!

Before installing lift, read & follow the recommended safety practices
in the Safety Practices section. Failure to follow these safety
practices could result in death or serious injury

PIT INSTALLATION

DANGER!

Do not install the lift in a pit unless it has a bevel toe guard or
other approved toe protection. A shear point can exist which
can cause severe injury to the foot.

Lift platforms traveling below floor levels my create openings,

and the shape of the load and how the load is arranged on the
lift may create a toe hazard as the load passes the top edge of
the pit. Both situations may require guarding in accordance
with Federal Regulations. Any such guarding must be installed
prior to operating the lift.

Pit Dimensions

1. The pit in which the lift is installed is the responsibility of the contractor or owner.

2. The overall length and width should be 2" minimum longer and wider than the lift
platform. Depth should be the lowered height plus 1/2".

3. Check the chase entrance into the pit. The diameter should be 3" (Figure 11).

DANGER!

Do not work under lift without Maintenance Device! 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 and the appropriate OSHA lock-out/tag-out
procedure is followed . See "Lift Blocking Instructions" section.

 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Remote Power Unit Installation

1. The power unit is to be located in an area protected from the elements and
should be installed prior to the lift to facilitate lift operation during installation into
the pit.

2. The power unit can be wall mounted with the optional wall mount brackets.

3. The electrical work is to be done in accordance with local codes by a qualified

electrician. See the “Maintenance” section for the standard wiring diagram.

4. If permanent electrical work is not complete, some means of temporary power

with an on/off device for the motor will be required.

5. Fill the reservoir with oil per instructions in the “Maintenance” section.

Lift Installation

CAUTION!

Precautions should be taken to prevent the introduction of

contaminates such as dirt or other foreign material into the
system through open fittings, pipes or disassembled
components. Contamination will ruin the hydraulic system.

1. Make temporary hose connections with high-pressure hose (see chart below) to
allow the lift to be operated when it is set in the pit.

Hydraulic Piping/Hose Size

Up to 25 feet ½” ID
26 feet to 50 feet ¾” ID
Over 50 feet 1” ID

2. Using ¾” 10 UNC eyebolts and a chain spreader, place the lift into the pit as
illustrated in Figure 12.

3. Remove the shipping bolt and eye bolts from the lift.

 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Leveling to Grade

1. The platform top should be solid and flush with the pit curb angles. The pit depth
includes 1/2” added to the lowered height of the lift for leveling purposes (see
Figure 11).

2. Fully lower the lift platform into the pit and check for proper height.

3. Shims and/or grout must be placed under the entire base frame assembly and
the platform support members to support the platform top at grade level. DO
NOT “spot” shim! Shims and/or grout must be able to support the lift base frame
while loaded at full rated lifting capacity and rollover load.

Starting Up and Lagging Down

1. Check the routing of the temporary hydraulic lines to assure that the hose is clear
of legs, bas frame, and platform when lift is in the lowered position.

2. Make positioning adjustments of the lift to align the platform with a one-inch
clearance around the edges of the pit.

3. Make temporary electrical connections and permanent hydraulic connections

(refer to Hydraulic Piping/Hose Size chart above). The female end connection
on the lift base frame is 1/2” NPT.

4. In order to run hose to the lift cylinders from a remote power unit without having
to route the hose under the base frame, all 8” lowered height PLT models have
been provided with the necessary fittings to do so. Simply thread one end of the
ship-loose, high pressure pipe nipple to the 1/2" NPT Tee located in the base
frame, and thread the ship-loose, high-pressure hydraulic elbow fitting to the
other end of the nipple and through the notched area of the platform bevel toe
guards (refer to Figures 13 and 14). The 1/2" NPT pipe plug may have to be
relocated as shown. NOTE: Use pipe dope at all connections – DO NOT USE
TEFLON TAPE.

5. Raise the lift approximately one foot using the “UP” button (Caution: Do not raise
the lift to its full travel until all the air has been bled from the system. It is very
difficult to lower the lift if the velocity fuses engage while the lift is fully raised).
Then lower the lift back to fully collapse, holding the “DOWN” button for
approximately 30 seconds. Repeat this process five to seven times to bleed any
air out of the hydraulic system while confirming that the alignment of the lift in the
pit is acceptable.

23
 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

6. Raise the platform and install the maintenance leg (see “Lift Blocking
Instructions” section).

7. Lag down the base frame in the holes provided. Lag bolts should be able to
withstand 2000 lbs. minimum upward pull at each corner.

8. Replace any electrical connections with permanent.

Final Preparation

1. Place the handrails in the platform sockets as shown in Figure 12.

2. Be sure the maintenance leg is securely in its storage position.

3. Check oil level of reservoir with the lift in the fully lowered position. Oil should be
1” to 1-1/2” below the top of the reservoir tank. (See the “Maintenance” section
for oil specifications.)

4. Make sure that all applicable labels are in place in accordance to Figure 1.

WARNING!

All DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION labels and informational

decals and plates must be intact and in place on the lift. Contact
an Autoquip representative if labels are missing or damaged.

Clean Up

1. Clean up any spilled oil and debris from the area. A clean installation makes a
good impression and creates a much safer environment!

2. Touch-up paint is available by request from Autoquip for repair of damaged paint
surfaces.

24
 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
FLOOR INSTALLATION
Floor installation procedures are the same as for pit installation instructions. The
following considerations must be made for floor installation:

1. The surface area where the lift will be set must be flat and level and be of sound
concrete of sufficient thickness to support the lift while loaded at full capacity.

2. In order to run hose to the lift cylinders from a remote power unit without having
to route the hose under the base frame, all 8” lowered height PLT models have
been provided with the necessary fittings to do so. Simply thread one end of the
ship-loose, high pressure pipe nipple to the 1/2" NPT Tee located in the base
frame, and thread the ship-loose, high-pressure hydraulic elbow fitting to the
other end of the nipple and through the notched area of the platform bevel toe
guards (refer to Figures 13 and 14). The 1/2" NPT pipe plug may have to be
relocated as shown. Hydraulic lines must be protected or placed in a way that
they are free from possible damage.
NOTE: Use pipe dope at all connections – DO NOT USE TEFLON TAPE.

3. Bumper posts are recommended to protect the lift from horizontal forces when in
the raised and lowered position.

4. The base of the lift must be lagged down in the holes provided. Lag bolts should
be able to withstand 2000 lbs. minimum upward pull at each corner.

5. Shims and/or grout may be required to insure support of the entire base frame
and platform support members. DO NOT “spot” shim! Shims and/or grout must
be able to support the lift while loaded at full capacity.

6. Optional floor ramps are available. Consult a local Autoquip dealer.

PROCEDURE FOR A LIFT ORDERED WITH AN ACCORDION SKIRT
1. Position the platform in the raised position. Install the maintenance locks (see
“Lift Blocking Instructions” section). Position the accordion with the weight rod
pocket at the bottom and the mounting collar at the top. The breathable material
when provided must be positioned at the top of the skirt with the mounting collar.

2. Slip the skirt over the end of the platform. Turn the skirt as required to slide over
the other end of the platform and leg assembly. The skirt should be in position
under the platform while enveloping the base assembly.

3. See Figure 19 and select the correct mounting configuration (Number 1, 2, or 3).

Figure #1: Mounting an Accordion Skirt Onto the Platform Side

Raise one side of the skirt along with a skirt -mounting bar (1/8” x 1”) to (1) side
of the platform. When possible, center the skirt-mounting collar and skirt-
mounting bar (1/8” x 1”) on the platform side. Align the pre-drilled holes in the
side of the platform with the skirt-mounting bar holes and punch holes in the skirt-
mounting collar. Push a nylon drive rivet through each hole in the skirt-mounting
bar. Hammer the aluminum pin into the rivet until flush with the rivet head.
Repeat mounting process for the remaining sides of the accordion skirt.

Figure #2: Mounting an Accordion Skirt Underneath the Platform

Raise one side of the skirt along with a skirt-mounting bar (1/8" x 1") to the
underside of the platform skirt support bar. When possible, center the skirt
mounting collar and the skirt-mounting bar (1/8” x 1”) on the platform support bar.
Align the pre-drilled holes in the skirt support bar (picture frame) with the skirt -
mounting bar holes and punch holes in the skirt-mounting collar. Push a nylon
drive rivet through each hole in the skirt-mounting bar. Hammer the aluminum
pin into the rivet until flush with the rivet head. Repeat mounting process for the
remaining sides of the accordion skirt.

Figure #3: Mounting an Accordion Skirt Onto the Bevel Toe Guard
Raise one side of the skirt along with a skirt-mounting bar (1/8” x 1”) to the side
of the bevel toe guard. When possible, center the skirt mounting collar and the
skirt-mounting bar (1/8” x1”) on the platform bevel toe guard. Align the pre-drilled
holes in the bevel toe guard with the skirt-mounting bar holes and punch holes in
the skirt-mounting collar. Push a nylon drive rivet through each hole in the skirt-
mounting bar. Hammer the aluminum pin into the rivet until flush with the rivet
head. Repeat mounting process for the remaining sides of the accordion skirt.

 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION !

Only trained and qualified personnel should operate this equipment.

1. Scissors lifts have maximum lifting capacity ratings (see “Specifications” section).
The safety relief valve has been factory set to open at a pressure slightly above
the rated load capacity and allows the oil to bypass into the reservoir to prevent
damage to the lift and its hydraulic power unit. The safety relief valve should
not be adjusted for any reason as it could cause the motor to prematurely
burn out. Applying loads exceeding the rated capacity of the lift may result in
excessive wear and damage to the lift.

2. This type of lift is designed primarily for dock applications and is typically
furnished with constant pressure pushbutton controls. Actuating the "UP" button
will cause oil to enter the cylinders and the lift will rise.

3. When the desired height or upward travel of the platform is attained, removing
pressure from the switch deactivates the “UP” circuit button. The oil stops flowing
and the upward movement will stop.

4. To lower the lift, activate the "DOWN" button. Opening the down control valve
allows the oil in the cylinders to flow through the down valve at a controlled rate
and return oil to the reservoir.

5. When the desired height or downward travel of the platform is attained,

removing the operator’s foot or hand from the switch deactivates the “DOWN”
circuit. The oil stops flowing from the cylinders and the downward movement
will stop.

CAUTION !

Whenever raising or lowering the lift, personnel should maintain

a safe operating distance of at least 36” to avoid personal injury.

CAUTION!
Do not operate the power unit on relief for more than a few
seconds. When on relief, the valve will make an audible
squealing sound.

33
 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
WARNING!

Before maintaining lift, read & follow the recommended safety

practices in the Safety Practices section. Failure to follow these
safety practices could result in death or serious injury.

DANGER!

Do not work under lift without Maintenance Device! 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 and the appropriate OSHA lock-out/tag-out
procedure is followed . See "Lift Blocking Instructions" section
Normally scissors lifts will require very little maintenance. However, a routine
maintenance program could prevent costly replacement of parts and/or downtime.

MONTHLY INSPECTION:
1. Do not use worn or damaged parts or equipment. All worn or damaged parts
should be replaced with authorized Autoquip parts only.

2. Check oil level (see oil recommendations in this section) and add appropriate oil
when necessary.

3. Check for any visible leaks. Correct as necessary.

4. Check any unusual noise when it occurs. Determine the source and correct as
necessary.

5. Check the snap rings at all rollers, if not in place or secure, replace or repair
immediately.

6. Check all rollers for signs of wear. Replace as necessary. Do not grease roller
or axles; they have lifetime-lubricated bearings.

7. Check all wiring for looseness or wear. Repair at once.

8. Check for damage to all hinged, throw-over bridges. Any lift which has a bridge
damaged to the point of hanging more than 30 degrees below horizontal is in
violation of safety standards as set forth in ANSI MH29.1 and MUST be taken out
of service until the bridge is repaired or replaced.
34
 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
OIL REQUIREMENTS:
Change oil yearly, or more frequently if it darkens materially or feels gummy or gritty.
Use detergent motor oils only. Do not use hydraulic-jack oil, hydraulic fluids, brake
fluids, or automatic transmission fluid.

Oil Viscosity Recommendations

Environment Recommended Oil

(Ambient Temperatures)
Indoor location, variable 10W30 or 10W40
temperatures (30 - 100° F) Multiviscosity motor oil
Indoor location, consistent SAE-20W motor oil
Temperatures (70° F)
Outdoor location, (-10 - 100° F) SAE 5W30
Multiviscosity motor oil
Cold-storage warehouse 5W30 Multiviscosity
(10 - 40° F) motor oil
Freezer (-40° F to 0° F) Consult Factory

OIL CAPACITY:
Reservoir capacity for the steel “vertical” tank is approximately 11 gallons. The
reservoir capacity for “contractor” (polyethylene) tank is approximately five gallons.

The oil level in the reservoir should be 1” to 1 ½” below the top of the reservoir with the
lift in the fully lowered position.

PIPE THREAD SEALANT

Loctite PST #567 pipe thread sealant or equivalent is recommended. Do not use
Teflon tape. Tape fragments can cause malfunctioning of the hydraulic system.

35
 GENERAL MAINTENANCE

WARNING!

Before maintaining lift, read & follow the recommended safety

practices in the Safety Practices section. Failure to follow these
safety practices could result in death or serious injury.
1. Change oil once a year or when it materially darkens or feels gritty. Also, check
oil for the presence of water (oil will turn milky in color.)

2. NEVER TRY TO DISASSEMBLE OR REPAIR A PUMP IN THE FIELD. These

pumps are high-precision devices requiring extreme precision in fit-up. When
one is damaged, there is seldom anything that can be repaired in the field. It is
also more economical to replace a pump than to refit old parts with new parts.

3. The pin, or roller bushing should be replaced whenever excessive wear is

detected. The rollers are furnished with the pressed-in bushing as a unit part.

DANGER!

Do not work under lift without Maintenance Device! 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 and the appropriate OSHA lock-out/tag-out
procedure is followed . See "Lift Blocking Instructions" section

DANGER !

Failure to relieve lift table system pressure could result in the

sudden and unexpected release of pressure during maintenance
and/or repair of the lift and result in severe injury to personnel
and/or damage to the lift.

36
 GENERAL MAINTENANCE
POWER UNIT

A. Vertical Power Unit

DANGER !
HIGH VOLTAGE!! – Disconnect and/or lock out the electrical
supply to the power unit per OSHA Lock-Out, Tag-Out
procedures prior to any installation or maintenance being
performed.

1. The “vertical” unit utilizes a heave duty 5 HP/208, 230, or 460 Volts/60 hertz/3
phase motor coupled to a high-pressure positive displacement gear pump, and
Autoquip Corporation’s patented Deltatrol valve assembly. It is also available
with a 5 HP/115 or 230 Volts/60 hertz/single-phase motor as an option.

2. The following should be referenced in connecting the standard heavy-duty

motors to power sources. Remember that heavy wire must be used all the way
to the power source.

Power Unit 115 Volts 208 Volts 230 Volts 460 Volts
Standard Three Phase N/A 16 AMPS 15.2 AMPS 7.6 AMPS
Standard Single Phase 58 AMPS N/A 24.5 AMPS N/A

NOTE: All amperage draws shown are full-load amperages.

B. Contractor Remote Power Unit

DANGER !
HIGH VOLTAGE!! – Disconnect and/or lock out the electrical
supply to the power unit per OSHA Lock-Out, Tag-Out
procedures prior to any installation or maintenance being
performed.

1. The Contractor Power Unit utilizes a “Super-Torque” intermittent duty (one full lift
cycle per four minute period) 5 HP/208, 230, 04 460 Volts/60 hertz/3 phase
motor driving a high pressure positive displacement pump assembly with internal
relief check and dump valves.

37
 GENERAL MAINTENANCE
2. Because Autoquip "Super-Torque" motors actually deliver substantially more
horsepower than their nameplate rating, they must always be wired for heavier
current-draw than standard motors of the same nameplate rating. However,
because of the "Super-Torque" motor’s starting efficiency and superior running
characteristics, circuit components do not have to be as large as for standard
motors of equal delivered horsepower.

The following chart should be referenced in connecting these motors to power sources,
remembering that heavy wire must be used all the way to the power-source.

5 HP 208 Volts 230 Volts 460 volts

CYLINDER REMOVAL AND REPACKING (see figure 20)

1. Raise the lift to its full height and block securely. See “Lift Blocking Instructions”.

2. Loosen and remove the cylinder hose at the hose union in the tee connection
between the two cylinders. Place the open end of the hose in a container to
receive oil spillage.

3. Remove the pin retaining screw in the cylinder clevis or pin retaining rings, and
carefully tap out the clevis pin to avoid damaging the clevis pin bushings.

4. Remove the cylinder from the lift.

DANGER !

Failure to relieve lift table system pressure could result in the

sudden and unexpected release of pressure during maintenance
and/or repair of the lift and result in severe injury to personnel
and/or damage to the lift.

38
 GENERAL MAINTENANCE
5. Push the piston rod into the tube to eject as much oil as possible into a container.

6. Pull the rod out of the cylinder tube sufficiently to gain access to the face spanner
wrench holes on the rod end of the cylinder. Do not allow oil or dirt to be pulled
back into the hydraulic hose.

7. Using a face spanner wrench, turn the bearing assembly clockwise until the tip of
the retainer appears in the slot in the outer surface of the cylinder tube.

8. Insert a small blade screwdriver under the tip of the retainer and turn the bearing
assembly counter-clockwise until the retainer is free of the slot. NOTE: The
wire retainer may be a cutting or puncturing hazard.

9. Pull the rod out of the tube slowly to remove the rod and bearing assembly.
NOTE: Use caution to prevent surface damage to the rod. This could result in
seal failure and/or leakage.

10. Inspect the bore of the tube. Hone if necessary to remove any surface
imperfections in the bore. Flush thoroughly after honing to remove chips and grit.

11. Remove the piston lock nut and slide off the piston and bearing assembly. Take
care to protect the rod surface from damage.

12. Install new packing and seals on the piston, rod, and bearing assembly. Inspect
all grooves and seal surfaces for any imperfections and repair or replace as
necessary.

13. Grease all seals and packing liberally and install the bearing assembly and the
piston on the rod and torque the lock nut to 500 ft. lbs.

14. Install the rod into the tube using care not to damage any seals or packing

15. Align the retainer hole in the bearing assembly groove with the slot in the tube.

16. Insert the retainer hook end in the hole/slot and using a face spanner wrench,
turn the bearing assembly clockwise until the retainer is completely inserted in
the groove/slot in the tube.

17. Check the clevis pin bushings in the cylinder rod for wear and replace as
necessary.

39
 GENERAL MAINTENANCE

18. Install the assembled cylinder into the lift by carefully driving the clevis pin
through the clevis and cylinder rod. Extreme care must be taken to prevent
damage to the clevis in the bushings. Install the pin retaining screw with
washers, engaging the slot in the pin, and torque to 25 ft. lbs. or the retaining
rings and washers on the pin (cylinder rod may be extended by hand.)

19. Connect the cylinder hydraulic hose and the tee using the recommended sealant.

20. Check all pins and other mechanical as well as hydraulic components to assure
that the assembly is complete and in good working order.

21. Turn the electrical supply back on and press the “UP” button on the controller to
raise the lift. NOTE: 15 to 30 seconds time may elapse to fill the empty cylinders
before movement is noted.

22. Remove and place the maintenance leg in its storage location, then press the
“DOWN” button on the controller to cycle the lift to the fully lowered position.
Hold the “DOWN” button 30 to 40 seconds to allow air in the cylinders to bleed
back into the reservoir tank.

23. Cycle the lift 10 to 15 times and repeat the bleeding operation by holding the
”DOWN” button for 30 to 40 seconds.

24. Check the oil level in the reservoir with the lift in the fully lowered position. Add
as necessary (see “Routine Maintenance” for oil recommendations).

25. Clean the oil filler breather cap if it appears dirty.

26. Clean up any debris and or spilled oil from the area.

 GENERAL MAINTENANCE
VELOCITY FUSE REPLACEMENT

DANGER!

Do not attempt to remove the velocity fuse until the lift is

securely supported with the maintenance locking devices and all
hydraulic pressure has been removed from the lifting cylinders
and hydraulic hoses. Failure to follow these instructions could
result in personal injury or death!

Never attempt to take a velocity fuse apart and repair it. These are precision devices
that are factory assembled under exacting conditions. Velocity fuses should always be
replaced.

1. The arrow on the exterior surface of the velocity fuse shows the direction of the
restriction to the oil flow. The arrow should always point away from the cylinder.

2. Do not use Teflon tape on the threaded connections of a velocity fuse.

Tape fragments can cause malfunctioning of the fuse.

3. Check all fitting connections for hydraulic leaks and tighten as necessary.

HOSE ORIENTATION
To prevent damage to the cylinder hose and possible failure of lift, it is necessary to
establish a correct hose shape and pattern of movement as follows:

1. Raise the lift to its full height and block securely. See “Lift Blocking Instructions”.

2. Install one end of the new hose to the cylinder elbow fitting.

3. Since the hose is fixed at both ends, it is possible to put a twist in the hose that
will allow it to describe the same pattern each time the lift is operated. This twist
will allow the hose to travel about half way between the cylinder on the right side
and the inner leg on the right side.

4. Lower the lift carefully and check to see that the hose is free and clear of the
cylinder and the inner leg assembly. If not, twist the hose in the direction
necessary to clear it of any obstruction and then lock the swivel fitting securely.

42
 GENERAL MAINTENANCE

ROCK SALT

It has been discovered that rock salt is being used to melt the ice and snow off of the
platforms in the northern region and during the winter months. Rock salt will accelerate
the deterioration of any paint. Therefore, Autoquip recommends the use of a synthetic
“Ice Melt” product in lieu of rock salt.

Warranty on the paint finish will be denied when it is suspected that rock has been
used. Please contact the Product Support Team at Autoquip at 1-888-811-9876 or 405-
282-5200.

CAUTION !

Any lift which has a hinged throw-over bridge damaged to the

point of hanging more than 30 degrees below horizontal is in
violation of the safety standards set forth in ANSI MH29.1 and
MUST be taken out of service until the bridge is repaired or
replaced. Failure to do so could result in severe personal injury
or permanent damage to the lift.

 TROUBLESHOOTING ANALYSIS

DANGER!

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 "Lift Blocking Instructions" section.

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE AND SOLUTION

Lift does not raise. • The motor voltage/wiring may be incorrect.
• The hydraulic line or hose may be leaking.
• Oil in the reservoir may be low. Add oil as
necessary (See the “Routine Maintenance”
section.)
• The load may exceed the rating. (See the
“Specifications” section.)
• The suction screen may be clogged. Remove
and clean the screen. Drain and replace the oil.
• The suction line may be leaking air due to a
loose fitting. Tighten as needed.
• The breather holes in the reservoir fill plug may
be clogged. Remove and clean.
• The "Down" valve may be energized by faulty
wiring or stuck open. Remove the solenoid and
check.
• The power unit pump may be defective
• The structural members of the lift may be in a
bind.
• The manual lowering device may be engaged.

operation. Bleed the air from the cylinder

• Oil in the reservoir may be low. Add oil as

necessary (See the “Routine Maintenance”
section.)

• The power unit suction strainer may be clogged.

• The power unit suction line may be leaking.

• There may be foreign material on the roller

plate.

 TROUBLESHOOTING ANALYSIS
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE AND SOLUTION
Lift will not lower. • The down solenoid may be malfunctioning.
• The maintenance leg could be installed.
• The structural members may be in a bind.
• The tubing or hose is obstructed or broken. Check
for obstruction in the line.
• The return filter may be clogged.
• The velocity fuse may be locked. Do not attempt to
remove the velocity fuse. The following steps
should be followed:

1. Remove the load from the lift. Inspect all fittings,

hoses, and other hydraulic components for leads or
damage.
2. If no leak or damage is noticed, attempt to
pressurize the lifting cylinder by depressing the “UP”
button on the controller for a few seconds.
Immediately up releasing the “UP” button, depress
the “DOWN” button. If the lift starts to lower, continue
pressing the “DOWN” button until the lift is in the fully
lowered position.
3. If the lift does not lower after trying Step 2, wait
approximately 10 – 15 minutes for the pressure in the
hydraulic system to equalize. Then, depress the
“DOWN” button until the lift is in the fully lowered
position.
4. Once the lift is in the fully lowered position, bleed
the air from the hydraulic system by depressing the
“DOWN” button. Hold the “DOWN” button for
approximately 60 seconds. This step may need to be
repeated several times to fully remove the air in the
system by raising the lift to 50% of its travel and then
lowering it.

• Should the above steps not correct the problem,

contact Autoquip to obtain instruction for further
action.
