HD-9 Series Four-Post Lifts 14 P/N 5900123 — Rev. M1 — March 2020
Planning for Electrical Work
You will need to have a licensed, certified Electrician available at some point in the installation.
⚠ DANGER All wiring must be performed by a licensed, certified Electrician.
Notify your Electrician in advance so that they come prepared with an appropriate Power Cord with a
Plug for connecting to the power source, a Power Disconnect Switch, and a Thermal Disconnect
Switch. Refer to Contacting the Electrician for more information.
Your Electrician needs to:
• Connect the Power Unit to an electric power source. An electric power source is
required. The Power Unit comes with a pigtail for wiring to a power source. Have your Electrician
remove the pigtail and wire from inside the Electrical Box on the Power Unit to a Power Cord and
Plug or have them wire it directly into the electrical system at the Lift location.
Note: Installing the Power Unit and connecting the Power Unit to the power source are
separate procedures and are completed at different times in the installation process. You
do not need an Electrician to install the Power Unit, but an Electrician is
required to
connect the Power Unit to the power source.
• Install a Power Disconnect Switch. Ensures you can quickly and completely interrupt
electrical power to the Lift in the event of an electrical circuit fault, emergency situation, or when
equipment is undergoing service or maintenance. Put it within sight and reach of the Lift operator.
• Install a Thermal Disconnect Switch. Ensures the equipment shuts down in the event of an
overload or an overheated motor.
Note: None of these components are included with the Lift.
