WARNINGS & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Insure that all employees understand and follow the
following instructions.

• Read and understand the owner's manual before using or

servicing the table.

• Do not use the table if any damage or unusual noise is

observed.

• Always watch the table and any load on it carefully when

it is being moved or used.

• Avoid sudden stops or quick turns to prevent accidental

tipping of the table.

• Use caution if you slide a load onto the table top.

• The table's load must be centered and evenly distributed

on the table.

• Do not perform any modifications to the table without the

manufacturer's approval. Failure to receive authorization
for changes to the equipment could void the warranty.

• Maintenance and repairs are to be done only bypersonnel

qualified to perform the required work.

• Do not use brake fluid or jack oil in the hydraulic system.

If oil is needed, use an anti-wear hydraulic oil with a
viscosity grade of 150 SUS at 100°F, (ISO 32 @ 40° C),
or a non-synthetic transmission fluid.

• Use only replacement parts either supplied or approved

by the manufacturer.

THE CARRIER IMMEDIATELY! Also, check the platform

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS - HT-A

LOADING:

The load rating, in pounds, is shown on the capacity tag located on the base. It indicates the net capacity of the table, assuming
a centered load. Permanent damage to the table or injury to personnel could result from exceeding the listed capacity.
The load size should not exceed the table dimensions by more than 50% and should not exceed twenty-four inches in height.
Do not use the base of the hydraulic table as a storage shelf.

OPERATION:

The manually-powered hydraulic tables are furnished with a foot-pump. On the single and two-post tables, step on the foot
treadle to raise the table and step on the release lever on the right side of the pump to lower the table.
The four-post table has a two-speed foot pump, separate from the lifting cylinder. Step on the foot treadle to raise the table.
You can change the pump from the low-volume to high-volume by pulling the slide on top of the foot pump back toward the
foot treadle.

SAFETY:

Keep all personnel clear of the machine when it is in operation.
Do not exceed the table's load rating.
Use caution to avoid tipping the table when placing or sliding a load onto or off of the table.
Avoid obstacles that can cause the base to sudden stop when moving a loaded table, such as cracks in the floor or the corners
of machines, etc. Doing so could cause the post table to tip over or allow the load to slide off the table.
Never use the table if it is in need of repairs or if it seems to be malfunctioning.
Notify your maintenance personnel if you notice anything out of the ordinary, such as odd noises, erratic motion, or damage
to any part of the table or its components.

ORDERING REPLACEMENT PARTS:

We take pride in using quality parts on the equipment we manufacture. We are not responsible for equipment problems resulting
from the use of unapproved replacement parts.
To order replacement or spare parts for this equipment, contact the factory.
In any communication with the factory, please be prepared to provide the machine's serial number, which is indicated on the
machine dataplate.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE & SAFETY CHECKS - HT, LDLT

Care should be taken to identify all potential hazards and comply with applicable safety procedures before beginning
work. Only qualified individuals trained to understand mechanical devices and their associated electrical and hydraulic
circuits should attempt troubleshooting and repair of this equipment.

(A) Before each use inspect the following, where applicable:

1.) Oil leaks.

2.) Pinched or chafed hoses.

3.) Damage or structural deformation to the structural members, the cylinder, the foot pump, etc.

4.) Unusual noise or binding or evidence thereof.

(B) Inspect monthly for, where applicable:

1.) The oil level. Oil should be 1" to 1 1/2" below the cylinder's or the reservoir's fill hole with the lift in
the fully lowered position.

2.) Oil leaks.

3.) Worn or damaged hydraulic hoses and electrical wires, if applicable.

4.) Integrity of the retaining rings and pins at all pivot points.

5.) Looseness, wear, or damage to the casters' bearings, mounting hardware, or surface material.

6.) Unusual noises.

7.) Information and warning labels being in place and in good condition.

8.) The need to clean off dirt and debris.

(C) Yearly inspection

The oil should be changed if the oil darkens, becomes gritty, or turns a milky color (indicating the presence
of water). Replace with an anti-wear hydraulic oil with a viscosity grade of 150 SUS at 100°F, (ISO 32 @ 40°C).
Ex: AW 32 or HO 150 hydraulic fluid, or non-synthetic transmission fluid.
