Contacting the Electrician
As mentioned previously, there are installation tasks that require a licensed, certified Electrician.
⚠ DANGER All wiring must be performed by a licensed, certified Electrician. If someone who is
not a certified Electrician attempts these tasks, they could damage the Lift or be
electrocuted, resulting in serious injury or even death.
The Electrician needs to:
• Connect a power source to the Master Power Unit. A power source is required. The
Power Unit comes with a pigtail for wiring to a power source. Have your Electrician connect a
power cord with plug on the electrical box on the Lift (for connection to a power outlet) or have
them wire it directly into the electrical system at the Lift location.
• Connect the Control Stands to the MPU. A power source is required.
• Install a Power Disconnect Switch. Ensures you can quickly and completely interrupt
electrical power to the Lift in the event of an electrical circuit fault, emergency situation, or when
equipment is undergoing service or maintenance.
• Install a Thermal Disconnect Switch. Optional. Ensures the equipment shuts down in the
event of an overload or an overheated motor. Refer to Install a Thermal Disconnect Switch
for more information. The motor on the Power Unit that comes with the Lift is not thermally
protected.
The Electrician is responsible for providing:
• an appropriate plug to attach to the Power Unit
• an appropriate Power Cord that goes from the power source to the plug on the Power Unit
• a Thermal Disconnect Switch
