SECTION 6. (CONTINUED) MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY MAINTENANCE BAR INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Always use the safety bars for any service or maintenance. Never go or
reach under the lift unless both safety bars are securely in place and the power to the
unit has been disconnected to prevent others from operating the lift.
Never use the
safety bars with a load on the platform.
CAUTION! Never use the lift unless the safety bars are properly stored or damage may
occur to the equipment.
1. Remove the safety bars from their storage positions by loosening the wing bolts.
2. Raise the lift to full travel, and place a safety bar in front of each roller wheel on the
scissors leg. Make sure the safety bar angle captures the baseframe angle (see
photos numbered 6-1 and 6-2). Caution! Do not tighten the wing bolt.
3. Once both safety bars are in place, slowly lower the lift until the roller wheel is
engaged with the safety bars and the safety bars rest against the end of the
baseframe. Visually inspect both safety bars to insure they are secure.
4. To disengage the safety bars raise the lift to move the roller wheels off the safety
bars and make sure lift operates correctly. If assistance is required in removal of the
safety bar, lightly tap with a hammer to brake it loose. Store the safety bars in their
original position and tighten the wing bolt.
Store the safety maintenance bar in position shown below. Failure to do so would allow
the moving leg to impact the maintenance bar when the list is fully lowered. (See the
photographs, 6-1 and 6-2).
