INSTALLATION

A. UNCRATING AND INSPECTION

:

Upon receipt of the 

DBP Series DC Electric Scissor 

Lifts

, inspect the equipment completely to determine if 

there is any shipping damage, and that the lift is com-

plete.  Presto Lifts Inc. tests and inspects every piece of 

equipment prior to shipment.  If damage is apparent, a 

freight claim must be filed with the freight company.  Do 

Not use the lift if there appears to be any damage.  With 

the lift in a collapsed position, check the following:

CAUTION!

Lifts with oversize table tops must not be over ex-

tended since doing so may disassociate the cylinder 

base from its socket. (See Section 5, Maintenance).

⇑ 

Check for signs of damage especially to the elec-

trical and hydraulic components.

⇑ 

Check all connections for tightness. 

⇑ 

Check for any bent or damaged metal parts.

⇑ 

Check base frame for flatness.

CAUTION!

When moving the lift, do not attempt to pick it up 

by the table top. The lift should be picked up by its 

base only.
