SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: THE USER MUST FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS WITHIN THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL AND NOT OPERATE THE LIFTING TABLE UNTIL HAVING DONE SO.

THE LIFTING TABLE

1. The table must be maintained and repaired in accordance with the these instructions. Such maintenance and repair must be carried out by qualified persons and tested prior to returning to service.

2. Ensure that the lift table is in good working order. Have any damaged parts repaired or replaced immediately. Use genuine Clarke parts only. The use of unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the guarantee.

3. Do not exceed the maximum safe working load of the table stated in the Technical Specification on page 2. Always ensure the load is evenly distributed across the table.

4. Never tamper with the lifting table or modify it in any way, as this could prove to be dangerous and will invalidate the guarantee. Only use the product for the purpose for which it is intended.

5. Do not use if an oil leak is apparent. Consult your Clarke dealer.

6. Check the condition of the labels regularly and replace as required. Labels are provided in accordance with BSEN1570.

THE WORKPLACE

1. Only use in a suitable, well lit work area.

2. Keep the work area clean and tidy and free from unrelated items.

3. Use the lifting table on level and solid ground, preferably concrete. Avoid soft/unmade ground as the wheels may sink in. Excessive force may be invited to move the table if floor conditions are poor.

4. Use appropriate safety equipment, such as protective footwear, when using this product.

DURING OPERATION

1. Never climb on, or attempt to ride on the lifting table.

2. Never use the lifting table for lifting, lowering or transporting persons.

3. Never transport a load in the raised position.

Page 4

4. Never alow hands or feet to be placed under the platform within the range of movement of the scissor lift components. Take care not to trap fingers in the moving parts.

5. Always ensure when lifting, that all parts of the load can be clearly seen.

6. Always ensure the load is centralised on t before lifting or moving. DO NOT secure by hand alone, use securing straps where necessary.

7. Always apply the brakes before lifting or lowering, when the lift is left unattended, or when stationary on an incline.

8. Always ensure the lift table is left in its use.

9. Take all necessary precautions when handling heavy equipment. Be aware that load MUST be adequately secured when the table is moved.

10. Be aware that force may be required to move a load of 300 or 500 kg. Take all safety precautions when moving and stopping to ensure it is carried out under complete control.

11. Be aware of what is happening in the immediate vicinity, and anticipate possible hazards...blind corners, overhead obstructions etc. Take great care when lowering a load, that the hands are not trapped by the load.

BEFORE USE

UNPACKING

Obtain the assistance of a second person when unpacking the lifting table from its packaging. Alternatively, cut and fold down one end of the box and wheel the lifting table out.

ASSEMBLY

Lower the handle into the holes in the frame and secure each side from below with the bolt (64), spring, and flat washers (63 & 62), provided.

Insert the foot operating lever (59) into its socket at the end of the connecting bar (60). Insert the bolt (42) and secure with washers (6 & 11) and nut (12).

PURGING AIR BUBBLES

During shipment, air bubbles can occur in the hydraulic system which may cause the ram to feel “spongy” and it may not achieve its maximum lift.

1. Hold the release lever and pump the operating lever several times to purge any air from the hydraulic system.

2. Pump the operating lever to raise the table fully, then pull the release lever to lower the table and check that it descends to its lowest position.

The lifting table is now ready to use.

OPERATION

Before raising or lowering the table:

1. Check for any damage or worn parts. Do not use the lifting table unless it is

perfectly serviceable.

2. Lock the castor brakes before loading the table. (A brake is provided on each castor for safety).

3. Ensure the load is completely stable and evenly spread on the table and secured if necessary.

4. Ensure that no obstacles can snag or prevent the table from being raised.

RAISING A LOAD

WARNING: BEFORE LIFTING, ENSURE THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ARE STRICTLY FOLLOWED. NO RESPONSIBILITY CAN BE ACCEPTED FOR INCORRECT USE OF THE TABLE.

1. Pump the foot lever (59) until the table reaches the desired height. (The release lever (65) is spring loaded to return it to its closed position).

SAFETY BARS (‘A’ FIG.1)

IMPORTANT: When working with the table raised, the safety support bars must be put in place and the table lowered so that the load is supported by the safety bars and not by the hydraulic ram, as shown in the illustration. The safety bars are secured with a clip, one to each leg of the lift.

2. Make one final check to ensure that there are no obstructions to lifting and that all personnel are well clear before continuing to pump the handle and lift the load.

LOWERING THE LOAD

1. Slowly pull the release lever (65) upwards. Ensure the load is lowered in a fully controlled manner - do not jerk the lever upwards.

• Releasing the lever will cause the table to stop at any desirable

height.

Page 7

NOTE: This operation must be done very slowly and in full control. DO

NOT let the load lower suddenly, this could damage internal components.

NOTE: Take care to ensure when lowering, that the safety bars do not

foul the bolt heads shown at B.

MAINTENANCE

DAILY/BEFORE USE

Inspect the lift table for signs of obvious damage, distortion of components,

damage to castors etc.

Check the ram for signs of hydraulic oil leakage.

If any of the above are apparent - DO NOT use the table lift. Have it inspected by a qualified person and repaired if necessary.

NOTE: Be aware that oil leaks can produce extremely hazardous

environmental conditions. All leaks must be cleaned immediately and sand/sawdust or similar absorbent material should cover the contaminated area (which should be isolated), until it is completely cleaned and dried.

MONTHLY

1. Check that all joints and pivots are clean and moving freely. Lubricate all pivots with light oil.

2. Check the action of the hydraulic ram and inspect for leaks. If leaks are apparent, DO NOT USE THE LIFTING TABLE, but submit for repair. (Contact your Clarke dealer). Always make every effort to contain any escape of oil and prevent ingress into the local water course.

3. The hydraulic system may be topped up with any commonly available hydraulic oil such as Clarke hydraulic oil (part number 3050830).

4. Check castor brake action and ensure that the table lift is held securely when they are applied.

5. Remove any corrosion and repaint for protection.

6. Check the piston rod periodically for signs of corrosion. Clean exposed areas with a clean oiled cloth.

7. Ensure that labels and warning notices are in place and legible.

8. Inspect for distortion of hinge pins and security of all nuts and bolts.

9. Keep all moving parts lightly lubricated to prevent corrosion.

Page 8

10. In the case of a persistent oil leak which requires the dismantling of the hydraulic parts to correct, the lift table should be taken to your Clarke dealer for overhaul.

NOTE: ALL major repairs MUST be re-tested according to BSEN1570:-

ANNEX C regulations and should therefore be carried out by your CLARKE dealer.
