SECTION 5. (CONTINUED) OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Daily operation (continued):
4. On the first use of the lift each day, the operator shall check to see that the lift is
functioning properly and smoothly. All safety devices shall be in place and operating
correctly.
5. If the unit has a traveling air line, the operator must insure that it is kept away from
the lift as it raises and lowers.
6. The center of the load shall be centered on the platform before raising or lowering
the lift as this will help insure even wear on all moving parts
General Compressed Air Information Notes:
1. PSI and SCFM will affect the speed and capacity of an air spring actuated lift. An
increase in PSI will increase the capacity of the lift, as a drop in PSI will reduce the
lift capacity.
2. SCFM and load weight will primarily affect the speed in which the table rises. While
load weight will have the greatest effect on the lowering speed.
3. Advance Lifts air spring lifts are designed to operate at 70 PSI.
