IDENTIFICATION & INSPECTION
IDENTIFICATION
When ordering parts or requesting information or service on this unit, PLEASE REFER
TO THE MODEL AND SERIAL NUMBER. This information is on a nameplate attached
to the leg assembly. Replacement parts are available from a local Autoquip distributor.
INSPECTION
Immediately upon receipt of the unit, a visual inspection should be made to determine
that it has not been damaged in transit. Any damage found must be noted on the
delivery receipt. In addition to this preliminary inspection, the unit should be carefully
inspected for concealed damage. Any concealed damage found that was not noted on
the delivery receipt should be reported in writing to the delivering carrier within 48 hours.
The following is a checklist that will aid in the inspection of the lift.
1. Examine the entire unit for any signs of mishandling. Pay special attention to the
power unit and pushbuttons.
2. Thoroughly examine all connections, making sure they have not vibrated loose
during transit.
3. After installation, raise the lift and inspect the base frame, platform, scissors
assembly, and cylinder plumbing connections.

DANGERS, WARNINGS & CAUTIONS
SAFETY ALERTS (Required Reading!)
The following SAFETY ALERTS are intended to create awareness of owners,
operators, and maintenance personnel of the potential safety hazards and the steps that
must be taken to avoid accidents. These same alerts are inserted throughout this
manual to identify specific hazards that may endanger uninformed personnel.
Identification of every conceivable hazardous situation is impossible. Therefore, all
personnel have the responsibility to diligently exercise safe practices whenever exposed
to this equipment.

DANGERS, WARNINGS & CAUTIONS
Read and understand this manual and all labels prior to operating or
servicing the scissors lift. All labels are provided in accordance with
ANSI Z535.4.
DANGER!
Do not work under lift without maintenance device! To avoid personal
injury, NEVER go under the lift platform until the load is removed and the
scissors mechanism is securely blocked in the open position. See the "Lift
Blocking Instructions" section.
DANGER!
To avoid personal injury, stand clear of scissors leg mechanism while lift is
in motion.
DANGER!
Do not install the lift in a pit unless it has a bevel toe guard or other
approved toe protection. A shear point can exist which can cause severe
injury to the foot.
DANGER!
HIGH VOLTAGE!! Disconnect and/or lock out the electrical supply to the
power unit prior to any maintenance being performed.

DANGERS, WARNINGS & CAUTIONS
DANGER!
Scissors lifts are designed individually for a specific load and application.
To avoid personal injury, do not change the load or application from the
original design.
WARNING!
NEVER stand, sit or ride on the lift!
WARNING!
All warning and information decals should be in place as outlined in the
“Label Identification” section. If decals are missing or damaged, they
should be replaced with new ones. Contact Autoquip for replacements.
WARNING!
Do not attempt to remove the velocity fuse until the maintenance block
securely supports the lift and all hydraulic pressure has been removed from
the lifting cylinders and hydraulic hoses. Failure to do so could results in
personal injury or death!
CAUTION!
Do not continue to depress the “UP” button on the controller if the lift is not
raising or if the lift has reached the fully raised position. To do so may
result in permanent damage to the motor or pump.
6
DANGERS, WARNINGS & CAUTIONS
CAUTION!
Never run the pump for more than a couple of seconds without pumping oil.
This applies to low oil conditions, improper motor rotation, running the
pump against the relief pressure after the lift is fully raised against the
physical stops, running overloaded beyond capacity, or running at reduced
speed because of pinched or obstructed hydraulic lines.
CAUTION!
Do not operate the power unit on relief for more than a few seconds. When
on relief, the valve will make a squealing sound.
CAUTION!
Precautions should be taken to prevent the introduction of contaminates
such as dirt or other foreign material into the system through open fittings,
pipes or disassembled components. Contamination will ruin the hydraulic
system.
CAUTION!
Use only approved oils in the lift. See “Specifications” section.

SPECIFICATIONS
LOAD CAPACITY
The load capacity rating is stamped on a metal plate attached to one side of the lift.
This figure is a net capacity rating for a lift furnished with the standard platform. The
relief valve of the pumping unit has been set to raise the weight, plus a small amount for
overload. Where gravity roll-sections, special tops, etc, are installed on the lift after
leaving the plant, deduct the weight of these from the load rating to obtain the net
capacity. Lifts should not be overloaded beyond the established capacity as
damage and/or personal injury may result.
UNBALANCED LOADING
The stabilization provided is basically for balanced loads. If special attachments extend
beyond the length and/or width dimensions of the platform, the end and/or side load
capacity is reduced 2% for each one-inch extension from the center.
PUMP PRESSURE
This lift incorporates a positive displacement pump machined to a high degree of
accuracy and specially adapted to requirements of higher-pressure ranges over that of
a standard pump. Therefore, standard factory models of the same manufacture cannot
replace it.
The pump can operate efficiently at intermittent pressures up to 3200 PSI and
continuous duty to 2500 PSI. The safety relief valve in the pump assembly is factoryset to stay within the parameters of the pump and lift requirements.
DEMAG DRIVE SYSTEM
The Coil Car incorporates an electric traverse drive system with a motor and gearbox
speed reducer directly driving a splined shaft and two drive wheels in high capacity
wheel “pockets” attached to each side of the lift. Most components in this Demag drive
system are specially machined, high precision, and metric; they should not be replaced
with non-Demag components.
