SP-7XE/F Full-Rise Scissor Lift 47 P/N 5900010 — Rev. B3 — September 2023
Perform an Operational Test
Before putting your Lift into normal operation, we recommend raising and lowering it two or three
times. This will help the operator acquire experience operating the controls and help remove any
residual air from the Hydraulic System (sometimes called “bleeding” the system).
Tip Residual air in the Hydraulic System can cause the Lift to shake, move erratically, or
squeak; this is normal when you first start using the Lift. It will soon stop doing this, as
the Hydraulic System is self-bleeding.
The Drive-up Ramps do not need to be installed to test the Lift, nor do you need a Vehicle on it.
To test your Lift:
1. Check the area around and above the Lift for obstructions; move them away if you find any.
2. Press and hold the Raise.
The Platforms begin rising.
3. When the Platforms move past the first Safety Lock, release Raise.
The Platforms stop rising.
4. Press and hold Safety Lock Release and Lower.
The Platforms start lowering.
5. When the Platforms will stop when they return to the ground. Release Safety Lock Release
and Lower buttons.
6. Wait for one minute.
⚠ WARNING The Power Unit is not a constant duty motor; it cannot be run continuously. If
you run it too long, it will overheat.
7. Repeat the process, this time raising the Lift to the top Safety Lock and then lowering it back down
to the ground.
8. If the Lift is working without shaking, moving erratically, or squeaking, there is no need to repeat
the procedure.
If the Lift is shaking, moving erratically, or squeaking, repeat the procedure one more time.
If you continue to have issues, refer to Troubleshooting for assistance.
