- Over-Lifting Protection: The hydraulic system includes limiter protection against over-lifting. Do not attempt to force the platform beyond its maximum height.
- Maintenance/Overload Protection: Utilize the maintenance/overload protection lever for safe servicing and to prevent damage from excessive loads.
- Wheel Locks: Engage the wheel locking devices when the cart is stationary or when loading/unloading to prevent accidental movement.
- Personal Safety: Keep hands and feet clear of moving parts, especially the scissor mechanism, during operation.
- Footwear: Wear appropriate safety footwear when operating the lift table.
- Clear Area: Ensure the area around the lift table is clear of obstructions and personnel during operation.

Setup
The Garvee Hydraulic Lift Table Cart typically arrives mostly assembled. Follow these steps for initial setup:
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the lift table from its packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage.
- Handle Installation: Attach the handle to the main body of the cart if it is not already installed. Ensure all bolts are securely tightened.
- Cable Adjustment: Verify that the hydraulic release cable is properly adjusted. It should have a slight amount of slack to ensure the release mechanism functions correctly. If the cable is too tight, the lift may not operate or lower properly.
- Wheel Check: Ensure all PU swivel wheels are securely attached and rotate freely. Engage the wheel locks to test their functionality.
- Non-Slip Pad: Place the rubber non-slip pad on the platform surface.
Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for safe and effective operation of your hydraulic lift table cart:
Lifting the Platform:
- Positioning: Move the lift table to the desired location. Engage the wheel locks to prevent movement.
- Load Placement: Carefully place the item(s) to be lifted onto the center of the platform. Ensure the load does not exceed 1100 LBS and is stable.
- Foot Pedal Operation: Step on the foot pedal repeatedly to raise the platform to the desired height. The hydraulic pump will lift the platform smoothly.
- Height Adjustment: Continue pumping until the platform reaches the required elevation, up to a maximum of 33.5 inches.
Lowering the Platform:
- Clear Area: Ensure the area beneath the platform is clear of any obstructions or body parts.
- Hand Lever Operation: Gently squeeze the hand lever located on the handle. This will release the hydraulic pressure, allowing the platform to descend smoothly.
- Controlled Descent: Control the speed of descent by adjusting the pressure on the hand lever. Release the lever to stop the descent at any point.
Moving the Cart:
- Disengage Locks: Release the wheel locking devices before moving the cart.
- Steering: Use the handle to steer the cart. The swivel wheels provide easy maneuverability in various directions.
- Secure Load: Always ensure the load is stable and secure on the platform before moving. For heavy loads, lower the platform as much as possible before transport to improve stability.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your lift table cart:
- Cleaning: Keep the platform and scissor mechanism clean and free of debris. Wipe down the powder-coated surfaces with a damp cloth.
- Lubrication: Periodically lubricate all pivot points and moving parts of the scissor mechanism with appropriate grease or oil to ensure smooth operation and prevent wear.
- Hydraulic Fluid: Check the hydraulic fluid level regularly. If low, refill with suitable hydraulic oil according to manufacturer recommendations. Ensure no oil leaks are present.
- Inspections: Regularly inspect the wheels, frame, handle, and hydraulic system for any signs of wear, damage, or loose fasteners. Tighten any loose bolts.
- Cable Condition: Check the hydraulic release cable for fraying or damage. Ensure it operates smoothly and has the correct tension.
- Storage: Store the lift table in a dry, protected area when not in use. Lower the platform completely before storage.
