Ceiling Closure for Scissor Lift SLX by Draper
The optional ceiling closure can be used as is, or in conjunction with, a square
of existing ceiling tile.
1 If installing with ceiling tile, you may need to cut tile so that its overall
dimensions are the same as (or slightly less than) the closure panel. Place tile
into trim frame. Lay closure panel on top (back side) of ceiling tile, and tighten
screws to hold in place.
Lipless Closure Option is available by removing the Trim Ring from the
Closure Panel. A substrate material (ceiling tile, gypsum board, etc.) can be
attached directly to the Closure Panel using adhesive, double-sided tape or
screws. NOTE: Make sure the added weight of the substrate does not
exceed the stated weight capacity of the lift. Substrate should be installed
so that it is centered within the finished opening in the ceiling, with a gap of no
less that 3/16" around all edges. Lipless Closure dimensions shown with * in
drawing below.
2 Attach provided angle brackets to side of Bottom Panel of Scissor Lift SLX.
3 Attach threaded rods to angle bracket.
4 Run unit “up” until bottom pan stops at highest position. Mark position on
threaded rods even with ceiling level and cut to length (remove from pan if
convenient).
5 Run unit “down” until bottom pan stops at “show” position.
6 Attach closure to lower end of threaded rods by slipping into four corner slots
and secure with nuts above and below slots.
Caution: Make sure nuts are completely tightened.
7 Run unit “up” again to highest position. Measure distance by which panel fails to
reach required “closed” height for surrounding ceiling.
8 Run unit “down” then re-adjust mounting of threaded rods in traveling grid to
raise panel required distance.
9 Test unit operation to confirm that panel will stop in closed position just before
touching ceiling.
Installing Optional Ceiling Closure "SLX"
Caution: DO NOT hang from, "ride" or pull down on the unit. This could
create a failure and cause damage and/or injury.
PLEASE NOTE: Immediately upon completion of the surrounding ceiling,
unit should be operated to confirm that optional ceiling closure panel by
Draper or by others stops
If closure panel touches, the motor may continue operating after the lift is
closed. If it continues to cycle once the lift is closed, a motor failure may
occur.
For Additional Safety:
1 Be sure the nuts that attach the threaded
rods to the closure panel are tight.
2 Wrap a plastic wire tie around the mounting
tab and the threaded rod at all four corners
of the closure panel (see drawing).
Please Note: Do NOT use a
paper-covered or similar wire tie—
use only plastic wire ties for
maximum safety.
