RESPONSIBILTY OF OWNERS/USERS
DEFLECTION
It is the responsibility of the user/purchaser to advise the manufacturer where deflection
may be critical to the application.
INSPECTION & MAINTENANCE
The lift shall be inspected and maintained in proper working order in accordance with
Autoquip’s operating/maintenance (O&M) manual and with other applicable safe
operating practices.
REMOVAL FROM SERVICE
Any lift not in safe operating condition such as, but not limited to, excessive leakage,
missing rollers, pins, or fasteners, any bent or cracked structural members, cut or frayed
electric, hydraulic, or pneumatic lines, damaged or malfunctioning controls or safety
devices, etc. shall be removed from service until it is repaired to the original
manufacturer’s standards.
REPAIRS
All repairs shall be made by qualified personnel in conformance with Autoquip’s
instructions.
OPERATORS
Only trained personnel and authorized personnel shall be permitted to operate the lift.
BEFORE OPERATION
Before using the lift, the operator shall have:
Read and/or had explained, and understood, the manufacturer’s operating
instructions and safety rules.
Inspected the lift for proper operation and condition. Any suspect item shall be
carefully examined and a determination made by a qualified person as to
whether it constitutes a hazard. All items not in conformance with Autoquip’s
specification shall be corrected before further use of the lift.
DURING OPERATION
The lift shall only be used in accordance with Autoquip’s O&M manual.
Do not overload the lift.
Ensure that all safety devices are operational and in place.
Autoquip warrants this lift for 60,000 cycles each warranty year. This number of
cycles is meant to represent normal, single shift duty. Exceeding this number of
cycles shortens the life of the lift and the length of your warranty and indicates
that a more robust lift design for high cycle duty should have been requested.
MODIFICATIONS OR ALTERATIONS
Modifications or alterations to industrial lifting equipment shall be made only with written
permission of Autoquip. Autoquip does not foresee and does not anticipate
unauthorized modifications, and these changes or alterations are grounds for voiding all
warranties.

personnel have the responsibility to diligently exercise safe practices whenever exposed
to this equipment.

SAFETY PRACTICES
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 "Lift
Blocking Instructions" section.
DANGER!
To avoid personal injury, stand clear of scissors mechanism while the lift is
in motion.
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!
DANGER!
HIGH VOLTAGE!! Disconnect and/or lock out the electrical supply to the power
unit prior to any maintenance being performed.
6
SAFETY PRACTICES
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!
WARNING!
Lift platforms traveling below floor levels may create openings, and the
shape of the load and how the load is arranged on the lift may create a toe
hazard as the load passes the top edge of the pit. Both situations may
require guarding in accordance with Federal Regulations. Any such
guarding must be installed prior to operating the lift.
7
SAFETY PRACTICES
WARNING!
The hydraulic velocity fuse (HVF) must be properly installed! The HVF
is attached to the elbow fitting in the rod port of the cylinder. Do not use a
swivel fitting between the HVF and cylinder. If the HVF is installed
improperly, it will not lock up in the event of a catastrophic hydraulic line
break.
WARNING!
Use properly rated hoses only! Never use fittings or hoses that are not
properly rated for the intended use.
WARNING!
Never exceed the rated capacity of the lift! Overloading, or uneven
loading, could result in load instability and cause serious personal injury.
CAUTION!
Any time that the velocity fuses have been tripped, owner must investigate
the cause of the trip and ensure any necessary corrective actions have
been taken prior to resumption of normal lift operation. Failure to do so
could result in personal injury or equipment damage.
CAUTION!
Spilled hydraulic fluid is very slippery, and may also present a fire hazard.
Clean up all spilled hydraulic fluid to prevent personal injury or equipment
damage.
8
SAFETY PRACTICES
NOTICE!
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.
NOTICE!
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.
NOTICE!
Do not operate the power unit on relief for more than a few seconds. When
on relief, the valve will make a squealing sound.
NOTICE!
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.
NOTICE!
Use only approved oils in the lift. See “Specifications” section.
