The   working   principle   of   the   hydraulic   system   is   as
follows:
When the  UP button  is pressed, the motor is started, driving
the oil pump, sucking the hydraulic oil from the oil tank into the
oil cylinder 9,  forcing the piston rod move. At this  time, the
safety valve 5 is closed, and  Max   working  the   pressure   is
already   adjusted   before   ex-factory.  The   safety   valve   can
ensure the capacity of the rated load, but when the pressure in
the system exceeds the limit,  automatically  overflow  will  be
happened inside safety valve to protect the hydraulic system.
Release the UP button to stop the oil supply and the lifting will
stop.  For  lowering, press  and hold  the  UNLOCK  button, the
electromagnetic   safety   lock   mechanism   will   be   released,
meanwhile press the  DOWN  button, the  solenoid valve  6  is
actuated,   the   hydraulic   oil   flows  back  from   the   hydraulic
cylinder into the oil tank through the solenoid valve 6 and flow-
control valve 7, and the lift starts the lowering.
