MD-6XP Mid-Rise Scissor Lift 21 P/N 5900108 — Rev. F2 — April 2021
Test the Lift
Before putting your Lift into normal operation, we recommend raising and lowering it a few times.
This will help you get a feel for how to operate the controls and help get any residual air out of the
Hydraulic System (sometimes called “bleeding” the system).
Tip Residual air in the Hydraulic System can cause the Lift to shake, move erratically, or
squeak; this is normal when you first start using the Lift. It will soon stop doing this,
as the Hydraulic System is self-bleeding.
To test your Lift:
1. Check the area around and above the Lift for obstructions; move them away if you find any.
2. Make sure the Lift is fully lowered.
3. On the Power Unit, press and hold the Up button.
4. When the Lift moves past the first Safety Lock, release Up.
5.
Press and hold
the Lowering Handle.
6. When the Lift gets to the ground, release the Lowering Handle.
Wait for one minute.
7. Repeat the process, this time raising the Lift to the top Safety Lock and then lowering it back down
to the ground.
8. If the Lift is working without shaking, moving erratically, or squeaking, there is no need to repeat
the procedure.
If the Lift is shaking, moving erratically, or squeaking, repeat the procedure one more time.
If you continue to have issues, refer to Troubleshooting for assistance.
Final Checklist Before Operation
Make sure these things have been done before using your Lift:
⚠ WARNING Before applying power to the hydraulic system, always double check all
hydraulic connections are tight, including fittings, hoses, and auxiliary port plugs.
⚠ WARNING Never replace any factory-supplied part with aftermarket or non-OEM part.
• Review the Installation Checklist to make sure all steps have been performed.
• Check the Hydraulic Fluid reservoir; it must be full of approved Hydraulic Fluid or automatic
transmission fluid.
You can harm the motor by running it without enough fluid.
• Check the Hydraulic System for leaks.
• Make sure that all Safety Locks are cleared and free.
• Leave the Manual with the Owner/Operator so that it is available for anyone who needs to read it.
