Maintenance Warnings
WARNING!
If you are going to repair the center pivot pins and
bushings, you must support the lift table in a special
way. Each set of leg plates, on both sides of the
unit, must be clamped together firmly, using large
C-clamps. You cannot use the maintenance devices
shown in Figure 1 – with the pivot pins removed, they
will not support the table top. If you do not support
the lift table correctly, the top may drop suddenly
when you remove the pivot pins. Please contact
Southworth for instructions.
It is important to use hydraulic fluid with the
correct grade and properties. See the hydraulic oil
specification in this manual, Table 2.
WARNING!
If a hydraulic fitting becomes loose, or if a hydraulic
hose breaks, the hydraulic fluid may escape from the
system under pressure. If the lift is raised when this happens, it can drop quickly. Someone may be hurt,
or the lift or load may be damaged.
If you continue to use fluid after it has "worn out," the
moving parts in the system will wear more quickly.

The lift may use a power supply of up to 575 Volts AC.
This voltage can kill. Do not work with the electrical
parts unless you are a qualified electrician!
WARNINGS
• As the lift moves up and down, "pinch points" are
formed as shown in Figure 6. Keep hands, feet, and
loose clothing away from these pinch points. If your
hand or arm or a part of your clothing is caught, you
may be hurt.
• A falling lift can cause severe personal injury.
