Carefully read all the safety instructions contained in Section 1 of this manual before operating the Cougar Lift. The floor lock safety switch prevents the unit from raising until the two floor pads have been properly engaged and helps to make the Cougar Lift a safe, dependable machine.
It is important that the cylinder rod be kept clean and undamaged for the protection of the cylinder head packing. The Cougar Lift features a displacement type of cylinder that will not rust or corrode during storage since the cylinder rod is immersed in oil. Emergency lowering of the platform is accomplished by means of a manual control valve located on the hydraulic manifold block assembly, next to the pump/motor unit. A hydraulic hose failure will result in the same rate of descent, eliminating freefall, when the restrictor valve is installed properly. The non-adjustable restrictor valve controls and fixes the rate of platform descent whether empty or fully loaded to approximately 0.6 feet per second.
The possibility of platform free-fall is eliminated by proper maintenance and replacement of the chains, sheaves and sheave pins, a properly installed flow restrictor valve, and a clean mast. Safety of operation is assured by proper inspection and maintenance procedures as set forth in this manual. Platform elevation and descent is controlled by pushbuttons on the upper control box located on the platform. The platform is raised three inches for each one inch of cylinder extension. The lower telescoping section is pushed vertically upward by the cylinder while the upper sections are raised by a mechanical motion advantage accomplished through two sets of chains and sheaves. Platform elevation is accomplished by means of a 1-1/2 inch displacement type hydraulic cylinder.
A 20 amp automatic battery charger is included for recharging the battery at the end of each work period. The electric pump motor is powered by a 12VDC battery. The maximum platform load is limited to 500 lbs. Its unique guard rail design permits the operator to ride on the platform with the load, while transferring it from group level to its overhead storage location. The model XLT-1571 Cougar Lift is designed and manufactured for use as a warehouse stocking and order picking machine.
