Introduction

2-1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The model XLT-1571 Cougar Lift is designed and manufactured for use as a warehouse stocking and order picking machine. Its unique guard rail design permits the operator to ride on the platform with the load, while transferring it from group level to its overhead storage location. The maximum platform load is limited to 500 lbs. The electric pump motor is powered by a 12VDC battery. A 20 amp automatic battery charger is included for recharging the battery at the end of each work period.

Platform elevation is accomplished by means of a 1-1/2 inch displacement type hydraulic cylinder. The lower telescoping section is pushed vertically upward by the cylinder while the upper sections are raised by a mechanical motion advantage accomplished through two sets of chains and sheaves. The platform is raised three inches for each one inch of cylinder extension. Platform elevation and descent is controlled by pushbuttons on the upper control box located on the platform.

Safety of operation is assured by proper inspection and maintenance procedures as set forth in this manual. The possibility of platform free-fall is eliminated by proper maintenance and replacement of the chains, sheaves and sheave pins, a properly installed flow restrictor valve, and a clean mast. The non-adjustable restrictor valve controls and fixes the rate of platform descent whether empty or fully loaded to approximately 0.6 feet per second. A hydraulic hose failure will result in the same rate of descent, eliminating freefall, when the restrictor valve is installed properly.

Emergency lowering of the platform is accomplished by means of a manual control valve located on the hydraulic manifold block assembly, next to the pump/motor unit.

The Cougar Lift features a displacement type of cylinder that will not rust or corrode during storage since the cylinder rod is immersed in oil. It is important that the cylinder rod be kept clean and undamaged for the protection of the cylinder head packing.

The floor lock safety switch prevents the unit from raising until the two floor pads have been properly engaged and helps to make the Cougar Lift a safe, dependable machine.

Carefully read all the safety instructions contained in Section 1 of this manual before operating the Cougar Lift.

4 — MAINTENANCE

4-3 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

Hydraulic system maintenance varies by the amount of use and the environment in which the lift is used. Constant attention to keep the oil clean and the reservoir properly filled will help prevent possible damage to the system.

Hydraulic System Inspection

Check all hydraulic hoses and fittings for leaks and damage daily. Tighten or replace as necessary to prevent hydraulic oil loss. Refer to the hydraulic schematic diagram in Section 6 for general reference.

Fluid Check and Replacement

The reservoir should be filled to within 1/2 inch of the top with the platform in its lowest position. The lift is shipped from the factory with Energol HLP-HD46 (BP Oil), a high grade, non-foaming hydraulic oil designed for temperatures as low as -20°F/-29°C. Use Dextron Automatic Transmission Fluid Type A for temperatures as low as -40°F/-40°C. If either oil is not available, a good grade SAE 10W hydraulic oil may be used where the minimum climatic temperature is above 32°F/0°C. SAE 5W hydraulic oil may be used where temperatures are as low as 0°F/-18°C. Do not mix different hydraulic oils. Clean the reservoir sump strainer and replace the hydraulic oil at least once a year or whenever it becomes contaminated.

Hydraulic System Air Bleeding Procedure

Delayed response or sporadic action in the unit may indicate a presence of air in the cylinder. Perform the following procedure to bleed air from the system.

1. Fill the reservoir with the proper hydraulic fluid.

2. Fully extend the lift.

3. Lower the unit to allow the oil with entrapped air to return to the reservoir, being careful not to overflow it.

4. Let the unit set while the air escapes the fluid and then repeat if necessary. Each time the platform is lowered, refill the reservoir to prevent pumping more air into the cylinder.

4-5

XLT-1571DC

Pressure Relief Valve Reset

Perform the following procedure to reset the pressure relief valve. Refer to Figure 4-3.

1. Disconnect the hydraulic hose from the main pressure port.

2. Install a 4000 psi gauge into the main pressure port in the pump unit.

CAUTION

Do not adjust the pressure relief valve higher than 2100 psi. Overloading may occur at pressures greater than 2100 psi.

3. Remove the hex cover from the pressure relief valve.

4. While depressing the box, adjust the screw until maximum pressure of 2100 psi is obtained.

5. After adjusting the pressure relief valve, replace the hex cover, remove the 4000 psi gauge, and reconnect the hydraulic hose to the main pressure port.

6. If a gauge is unavailable, place 500 pounds on the platform and adjust the pressure relief valve screw so that the load can just be lifted without bypassing oil through the pressure relief valve.

4 — MAINTENANCE

Flow Restrictor Valve Replacement

If the flow restrictor valve Figure 4-4 needs to be removed or replaced, it is important that it be properly reinstalled. The valve will be marked either with an arrow or with the word “IN”. If marked with an arrow, the arrow must point away from the hydraulic cylinder port. If marked with the word “IN”, the end of the valve marked “IN” must be toward the hydraulic cylinder port. Only a 1/4 inch NPT hydraulic elbow should be connected between the hydraulic cylinder port and the end of the flow restrictor valve.

Improper installation of the flow restrictor valve or the use of the wrong size elbow will permit widely varying rates of descent and may result in near free-fall in case of hose failure.

Raise Valve Operation Check

The raise valve is a normally open (N.O.) valve in the hydraulic system. Perform the following procedures to check the operation of the raise valve.

1. Disconnect the black and yellow wires from the solenoid, to the valve at the wire connector, Figure 4-5.

2. On the upper control box, select pressing the

ON pushbutton. This should cause the motor to run without the plat-

UP on the direction selector switch while de-

form raising.

3. If the platform raises, the raise valve must be cleaned or replaced.

4. Reconnect the wires at the connector between the solenoid and the raise valve upon determining that the valve is functioning properly.

Hydraulic Cylinder Repair

CAUTION

Removing the hydraulic cylinder from the Cougar Lift requires major disassembly of the unit. Contact Bil-Jax before removing the hydraulic cylinder from the unit for assistance.

Hydraulic Cylinder Removal

It is recommended that Bil-Jax be contacted for assistance before removing the hydraulic cylinder.

1. Be sure cylinder is completely retracted and pressure is released from the system. Place a pan underneath the hydraulic cylinder to catch the hydraulic oil.

2. Disconnect the hydraulic hose from the bottom of the cylinder and drain the hydraulic oil. Remove the two bolts, washers, and nuts securing the bottom of the cylinder to the base.

3. Remove the plexiglass cover from the base.

4. Remove the mounting bolt, washer, and nut securing the top of the hydraulic cylinder to the lower mast.

5. Disconnect the two lift chains from the base mast.

6. Using a crane with at least one ton of lifting capacity, lift the lower mast section high enough to remove t he clamp securing the cylinder to the base, and remove the cylinder from the unit.

7. After maintenance has been performed on the hydraulic cylinder, follow the removal procedure in reverse to reinstall the cylinder in the unit.

Hydraulic Cylinder Repair Procedure

Perform the following procedure to repair and maintain the hydraulic lift cylinder. Refer to Figure 4-6. It is recommended that whenever the hydraulic cylinder is disassembled, all seals be replaced; order seal repair kit B02-13-0097.

1. Remove gland nut (3, Figure 4-6) with gland nut seal (4), rod wiper (2), and o-ring (5) from the cylinder jacket (1).

2. Remove piston rod (6) and wear ring (7). Inspect piston rod (6) for any scratches or pits. Pits that go into the base metal are unacceptable. Scratches that catch the fingernail, but are not through the base metal or less than 1/2 i nch long and are around the rod are acceptable providing they are not sharp enough to cut the seal. The rod surface should not have any of the chrome worn through. Replace the cylinder if any of these conditions are not met.

3. Clean inside the cylinder jacket (1) and inspect for any scratches or pits. Pits that are deep enough to catch the fingernail are unacceptable. Scratches that catch the fingernail, but are less than 1/2 inch long and are around the tube are acceptable providing they are not sharp enough to cut the seal. Replace the cylinder if any of these conditions are not met.

4. Install wear ring (7) into the grooves at the bottom of the piston rod (6). Lubricate assembly with hydraulic fluid and place back into cylinder jacket (1).

5. Lubricate rod wiper (2), gland nut seal (4), and o-ring (5) with hydraulic fluid.

4-9

XLT-1571DC

6. Twist gland nut seal (4) into a “C” shape and insert it with lip side down into the groove inside the gland nut (3). Place o-ring (5) over the threads of the gland nut (3) and install in groove. Install rod wiper (2) into the top of the gland nut (3).

7. Place gland nut (3) complete with a new gland nut seal (4), rod wiper (2), and oring (5) onto the cylinder and tighten down.

8. Reinstall the hydraulic cylinder into the unit and reconnect the hydraulic hose. Refill hydraulic fluid reservoir.

9. Pressurize the cylinder and extend one full stroke to fill it with hydraulic fluid and remove any trapped air.

4-4 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Regular maintenance is necessary to keep the electrical system in proper working order. Check daily all electrical wires for cuts, broken wires, potential short circuits, and any other damage.

Battery Care and Charging

The electric system is designed to provide power for a normal work shift. However, the charge life of the battery pack depends on machine usage. Plan your work to prevent unnecessary use of electrical power.

Since the power source for the machine is a battery, proper battery care is important. Recharge the battery after each work shift. When the machine is not being used, batteries should be charged at least once a week. Normal battery charging time should be 10 to 12 hours. If the battery is extremely low, charging time may be as long as 24 hours.

Clean battery terminals monthly. Remove the cables from the battery, clean the battery posts and cable ends to shiny metal, and replace. Always connect the insulated cable from the starter solenoid to the positive post. Lubricate the outside of the connections with petroleum jelly or grease.

Battery Charging Procedure

1. Connect an extension cord from a 110V AC 60 Hz outlet to the flush mount receptacle on the side of the Cougar Lift. The extension cord should be kept as short and as large as possible to reduce voltage drop.

2. When there is power to the battery charger, a red “ON-CHARGING” LED on the charger will be lit and the ammeter will display the rate of charge.

3. Once the battery voltage reaches a predetermined level programmed in the electronic control, the yellow “80% CHARGE” LED will illuminate.

4. 3-1/2 hours after the yellow “80% CHARGE” LED is lit, the charge will be completed and the charger will automatically shut off. All LED’s will be unlit.

NOTE: If the battery voltage does not reach the 80% level within 14 hours, the

charger will shut off and the red “ C HECK BATTERY” LED will illuminate. This is to avoid prolonged charging of a defective battery that will not properly recharge.

CAUTION

Before making or breaking connections between charger and battery, always remove the power cord from the 110 volt AC outlet. Always check the battery electrolyte level and add water after charging the battery. For more information, refer to the instructions supplied with the battery charger.

5. Unplug the extension cord from the flush mount receptacle on the side of the Cougar Lift.

4-5 LIFT CHAINS AND SLIDE BLOCKS

WARNING

Do not operate a unit on which any chain assembly is damaged or in need of replacement. Operating a unit with a damaged chain can cause severe injury or death to personnel and damage to equipment.

Inspect all lift chains daily. Inspect for signs of wear, split leaves, loose pins, clevis damage, and elongation. Replace any chain which is damaged in any way. Chain assemblies may be ordered from your dealer or direct from the factory. Do not operate a unit on which any chain assembly is damaged and in need of replacement.

Chain Elongation Inspection

One pitch of chain should measure 5/8 in. (1,5875 cm). Measure 20 pitches of chain. The ideal measurement for 20 pitches of chain should be 12.5 in. (31,75 cm). Replace the chain if 20 pitches measure over 12.75 in. (32,385 cm). Refer to Figure 4-7.

5/8 IN. (1,5875 CM) PITCH

20 PITCHES = 12.5 IN. (31,75 CM)

REPLACE CHAIN IF 20 PITCHES MEASURES OVER 12.75 IN (32,385 CM)

Figure 4-7. Chain Elongation Inspection

NOTE: It is recommended that chains be replaced every four years unless dam-

age or wear requires replacement at a lesser interval.

4 — MAINTENANCE

Lift Chain Adjustment

1. Raise the platform to the maximum extended height and then lower it while someone checks to see that all sheaves are turning and checks for chain damage or wear.

2. After the platform is completely lowered, remove the plexiglass cover from the base.

3. Chains should be tight to the touch with no loose play. Check all four lift chains for snugness. If a cha in is loose, tighten the lock nut below the clevis r etainer. Refer to Figure 4-8. Adjust any loose chain until it just becomes snug. Do not overtighten any chain so that the platform is raised from its resting position.

4. Make sure the lock nuts are turned onto the threaded clevis ends with at least 1/8 in. of the clevis end extending through the nut. Replace any lock nut which does not stay in position during use. Replace the plexiglass cover.

Slide Block Adjustment

Annually check for wear on the slide blocks and replace or retighten as necessary. If the lift exhibits excessive mast sway, it is probable that the slide blocks need adjustment. The slide blocks should be adjusted so that there is no air gap between the slide block and the mast the slide block is moving against. There are 12 slide blocks, 6 upper and 6 lower. The adjustment procedure is the same for all slide blocks. Three upper slide blocks are shown in Figure 4-9.

1. Loosen, do not remove, the slotted hex head screw securing the slide block to be adjusted.

2. Using an allen wrench, turn the set screws in (clockwise). This will push the block in against t he next mast. Do not overti ghten. Tighten the slott ed hex head screw to secure the slide block in position.

3. Check all slide blocks and make adjustments as necessary.

4. After all adjustments are made, fully extend the lift. If the platform can be lowered without stopping then the blocks are properly adjusted.
