INSTALLATION
A. INSPECTION
The lift is tested and inspected prior to shipment.
Inspect the Work Positioner completely upon re-
ceipt, to determine if there is any damage caused
during shipment by the freight company and that
the lift is complete. A freight claim must be led
with the freight company if damage is appar-
ent. Do Not use the lift if there appears to be any
damage. Check the following with the lift in a
collapsed position:
Check for signs of damage especially to the
back cabinet that houses the battery, electri-
cal/hydraulic power pack.
Check all connections for tightness. Is there
hydraulic uid visible?
Check base frame for dimensions and struc-
tural integrity.
Inspect for any bent or damaged metal parts.
B. REMOVING FROM PALLET:
Remove all packaging materials prior to remov-
ing the lift from the pallet. Visually inspect the
lift as closely as possible.
Carefully pick up the lift taking into consid-
eration the center of gravity of the lift with an
overhead hoist or forklift. Use a hoist and nylon
sling with a minimum of 2,000-lb capacity if you
choose to pick the lift up with an overhead hoist.
