SECTION 5.  OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 
  
Hydraulic scissors lifts have an excellent operational record overall, but as with all 
moving equipment they can be dangerous.  Operators must use common sense and 
take responsibility for everyone near the lift.  They must use the devices provided and 
be careful not to surprise anyone in the area with the movement of the lift. 
 
Pre-operational checks: 
 
1.  Check all electrical wiring and connections to be sure that they are completed 
properly and are...

 
 
 
COMPATIBLE LOADING EQUIPMENT GUIDE: 
 
Each Advance lift is designed with a weight capacity and platform design for specific 
types of loading equipment.  Using the wrong type of loading equipment on a given 
series of lifts will invite unintentional overloading.  For safe operation, follow these 
guidelines and be careful to never exceed the nameplate.

Daily Operation (Continued) 
 
5.  If the unit has a traveling electrical cord, the operator must insure that it is kept away 
from the lift as it rises and lowers. 
 
6.  When raising or lowering the lift, the load should be centered on the platform (that is, 
the load should be evenly distributed and its center of gravity should be at the center 
of the platform). 
 
7.  If a unit is equipped with both a hinged bridge and a hinged ramp, be sure that the 
operators know the difference and never...

Placing Bridge in Truck Wi
th bridge folded back toward platform raise the dock lift until the top the bridge is 
just above the opening of the truck, push the bridge against 
the truck with your foot while controlling the fall with the 
locking chains. As the dock lift is raised, the bridge will cam 
over onto the truck bed and lay flat for loading and 
unloading.  
 
 
Removing Bridge from Truck and Securing Begin to lower the dock lift until the bridge starts to cam up 
over the end of the...

 
 
SECTION 6.  MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS 
 
 
 
The routine maintenance of this equipment is minor and consists of periodic checks. 
 
Weekly: Once a week, or after repetitive operation, the lift should be raised to its full 
height.  This will get rid of cylinder oil seepage build-up and lubricate the upper cylinder 
barrel. 
 
Monthly: Check that the hydraulic fluid level in the reservoir is 1” to 2” from the top of 
the tank, depending on model, with the unit fully lowered. It is strongly urged that a...
