Note:
instruction manual before using the lift table.
Owner/Operator must read and understand this
This product is a hydraulically powered lifting device mounted on wheels. The lifting platform lifts by the action of the scissor arms. The product is designed to be manually positioned and operated, and to lift goods of no more than the rated capacity in total weight at any one time.
BEFORE USE OF THE TABLE:
~ This booklet should be read thoroughly; ~ This booklet should be passed to the safety officer to keep for
future reference;
~ Any supplied test certificates should be passed to those
responsible for your register of lifting equipment and be retained for scrutiny by a factory inspector, insurance company etc;
~ Familiarized yourself with the table.
SAFETY:
N.B. This table has been built to EN 1570 and is accompanied by a Test Certificate. It should be read and kept in a safe place as you may be asked to present it by your insurance company or factory inspector.
This table has been designed to give: ~ 30mm gap between the scissor arms to reduce risk of trapping; ~ 50mm gap between the scissor arms and the frame to reduce
risk of trapping;
~ A safe descent speed governed by an oil flow control cartridge in
the ram (even if the hydraulic hose is accidentally cut the table will still descend at a safe speed);
~ Automatic stop lowering even if the pedal is released.
Only authorized personnel should be allowed to operate this table. Please see section entitled USAGE for instructions for safe
usage and warnings against possible misuse.
It is dangerous to work under the platform when raised. The
table is designed for maintenance whilst in the fully lowered
position with the platform hinged open, therefore THERE IS NO MECHANICAL LOCKING DEVICE to stop the platform from
lowering. Please see section entitled MAINTENANCE before
attempting any kind of maintenance to the table.
If the table is damaged, deformed or performs incorrectly this
should be reported and usage discontinued. After any major repair the table must be re-tested according to EN 1570 Annex C.
MAINTENANCE:
N.B. After any major repair the table must be re-tested according to EN 1570 Annex C. N.B. The only maintenance that the table usually needs is topping up of oil and checking for damage.
Maintenance Instructions:
When the table is fully lowered the platform hinges open to allow
access to the hydraulics for topping up the oil. All hinge points have nylon bearings and all the ball races are sealed, requiring
little maintenance. When topping up the hydraulic oil only fill with
enough oil to allow the table to lift to full height, as overfilling will cause leakage. The hydraulic oil used in the pump ISO VG22.
The pump and ram can be removed together with the hose for
replacement or service.
Maintenance Periods:
Daily: table should be checked for obvious damage and oil leaks.
Faults should be reported.
Monthly: oil should be checked for serious leaks (oil may escape
from cylinder or from the reservoir, particularly if table is tipped, tilted or overturned. If in doubt, check with engineer).
Annually: table should be re-tested (see EN 1570 Annex C). Occasionally: it may be necessary to top up the hydraulic oil (e.g.
after leakage).
SAFETY NOTICES:
The table is labeled with the following safety notices:
300 lbs Capacity
rated capacity of the table no entry (inc. for maintenance)

USAGE:
Summary:
This product is a mobile scissor lift table, designed to lift goods of no more than the rated capacity in weight, and to be pushed only when fully lowered. This table is designed for use indoors and on a smooth level surface.
General Instructions:
N.B. Care must always be taken when handling heavy loads or moving a loaded table and especially if over a poor surface. When manually handling loads the appropriate manual handling procedures must be adhered to. Failure to do so can result in serious injury.
Loading the platform
This table is designed to: ~ in one case lift half the rated load distributed over half the length
of the platform;
~ in another case lift a third of the rated load distributed over half
the width of the platform. It is the responsibility of the user and operator to ensure that this loading is not exceeded and that the load being lifted by the scissor table is sufficiently secure as not to fall during operation of the table. The load should be secured to table if lifting above 2000mm.
Raising the platform
Raise the platform by repeatedly operating of the foot pedal. N.B. The brake must be applied prior to raising the table.
Lowering the platform
Lower the table by pressing and holding the lowering pedal. (The oil flow control cartridge ensures that the designed descent is not exceeded irrespective of the load.) The operator must ensure that nothing and no person is in the way of the platform or the scissor arms.

Moving the table
When fully lowered, push and steer using the foldable handle. The table is designed to be pushed only with the platform in the fully lowered position. The table is designed to be pushed only along a level surface. N.B. Safety shoes must be worn by persons moving the table (to avoid toes being crushed by the wheels).
Folding/Unfolding the handle (CART-300-S-FR)
To fold the handle down: push down on the horizontal bar at the handle end of the table (which retains the handle) far enough for the end of the tube to be freed and then fold the handle forward. To raise the handle: lift the handle and depress the retaining bar to allow the handle to click into position. N.B. The handle must be fully locked into the vertical position prior to use.

NOT RECOMMENDED:
DO NOT USE on ramps, hills or slopes. DO NOT USE in wet or damp conditions. DO NOT USE foot pedal when platform is hinged open. DO NOT USE to lift more than the rated capacity. DO NOT USE to lift persons. This table is not designed to lift persons and it is the responsibility of the user and operator to ensure that such use is prohibited. DO NOT USE IF DAMAGED, DEFORMED OR PERFORMING INCORRECTLY. If the table is damaged, deformed or performs incorrectly this should be reported immediately and use should be discontinued.
