Position also corresponds to the lightest load setting. For any air pressure setting, this
position will allow the EZ Loader to completely collapse with the least amount of load.
Medium Weight Position - is the medium load capacity setting. At this setting, the EZ
Loader will collapse slower and will require more load to completely compress the platform to
its collapsed position.
Heavy Weight Position - is the high load capacity setting. With the EZ Adjust knob in this
position, the EZ Loader will require the most load to completely collapse the platform.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Make sure the installation area is clean before starting. Check the installation surface to ensure it is relatively
smooth and level. Otherwise, the EZ Loader base frame should be shimmed to make it level.
2. Using a fork lift or similar equipment, move the palletized EZ Loader to the location it is to be installed.
3. Remove the steel bands securing the EZ Loader to the pallet. Next, remove all packing material and place it off
to the side.
4. Attach the air chuck to the air line extending from the fi lter/regulator.
5. Set the regulator to 60 psi (4.1 bar). Turn the EZ Adjust knob to the Light Weight Position and initially charge
the system by engaging the air chuck to the EZ Loader’s tank valve. The air spring will infl ate and the EZ
Loader will gradually extend to its maximum raised height. If escaping air is detected, close the purge valve
(fi nger tight). Allow the system to completely pressurize and disengage the air line from the EZ Loader.
6. Using a fork lift, position the forks under the platform structure, as detailed in Figure 9. Lift the EZ Loader off
the pallet. Next, remove the pallet and place if off to the side. Position the EZ Loader in the desired location.
7. Securing the EZ Loader to the fl oor may be preferred in some applications. If so, the base frame of the EZ
Loader has 4 pre drilled holes for lagging the unit securely to the fl oor. Using the 4 holes as a template, mark
the holes on the fl oor. Using the fork lift, shift the position of the EZ Loader to allow room for drilling, then drill.
When complete, reposition the lift and install anchors lagging the EZ Loader securely to the fl oor. NOTE: Make
sure the base angles are fully supported along their entire length with shims or concrete grout.
8. The EZ Loader is now ready for operation. Refer to the Set Up procedure to properly set the initial pressure for
the desired capacity.
