Bishamon Industries Corporation Hydraulic Lift Table L3K

Danger! A falling lift table can cause SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY or DEATH. NEVER go under the platform until the load is removed and the scissors mechanism is secured in the raised position with the maintenance bars. The maintenance bars have been designed for use only when the lift is UNLOADED. NEVER place any load on the platform with the maintenance bars engaged. SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY or DEATH and PROPERTY DAMAGE could result.

If the OPTIMUS lift is equipped with an accordion bellows skirt, lift the bottom of the bellows skirt and secure it in the raised maintenance position with the maintenance ties.

ALWAYS engage the maintenance bars and ensure the scissors mechanism is securely blocked in the raised position before performing ANY lift inspection or maintenance.

Before use, visually inspect the lift for worn, damaged or broken components. If any of these conditions exist, REMOVE the lift from service and contact a qualifi ed service person.

Raise the platform and visually inspect the hydraulic components (i.e. pump, hoses, fi tting and cylinders) for oil leakage. If oil leakage exists, REMOVE the lift from service and contact a qualifi ed service person.

Check the condition of the warning labels. The warning labels are for the safety of the operator. If the labels are worn, missing or unreadable, REPLACE them before placing the lift back in service.

Finally, raise the lift and disengage the maintenance bars by returning them to their stored position.

Inspect snap rings and roll pins at all pivot shaft and axle locations. If not in place and/or secure, replace or repair at once.

Inspect the scissors rollers, cylinder pivot pins, cylinder bushings, scissors pivot pins and scissors bushings for signs of wear. If worn, replace at once. All pivot locations have lifetime lubricated bushings; therefore they do not need grease or lubrication.

Inspect the hydraulic power unit and cylinder(s) for signs of leakage. The presence of a small amount of fluid around the cylinder rod is normal. However, fluid flowing from around the top of the cylinder head cap indicates worn seals. Replace the cylinder seals at once.

Inspect the flexible hydraulic lines for chaffing and sign of wear. If worn, replace at once.

Inspect the hydraulic line connections for tightness. Tighten if necessary.

Change the hydraulic oil every 12 months of service or more often if conditions warrant.

Raise the unloaded platform to its maximum height and engage the maintenance bars.

Lower the lift onto the maintenance bars. Depress and hold the DOWN button or pedal for several seconds to allow any residual hydraulic pressure to diminish.

For models L2K and L3K remove the snap ring that secures the upper cylinder pin and then remove the upper cylinder pin.

The L5K uses roll pins to secure the upper cylinder pins. Using a small punch drive the roll pins out and then remove the upper cylinder pins.

The hydraulic fluid inside the cylinder needs to be purged from the system.

Disconnect the hydraulic line from the power unit and place the hose end into a suitable container that will hold the spent hydraulic fluid.
