Pre-Installation Testing Instructions
This Scissor Lift was extensively tested and in perfect condition when it left
our plant. To make sure that it arrived in the same condition, please use the
following procedure to test the unit prior to installation.
Draper does not accept back charges for labor. Make sure that this unit is
operating satisfactorily before installation.
Danger! The scissor mechanisms can exert over 350 pounds of force. Do not
insert any body parts or other objects into this unit while power is connected.
À Remove the unit from the outer carton.
Á Temporarily suspend the unit in order to proceed with pre-installation
instructions.
 You will find an operating switch that can be temporarily connected to
switch wires by use of a telephone type connector.
 Also, you will find a temporary power plug connected to this unit.
à Make sure that the switch is in the off position and plug the unit into a
110v AC source. Caution: Do not touch any exposed wires while the unit is
plugged in.
Ä Use the switch to move the bottom pan down. The pan will automatically
stop when it reaches the "show" position. Remove packing inserts.

Hanging Unit
The Scissor Lift may be installed in a variety of ways; recessed above the
ceiling, or suspended below the ceiling. The lift is supported by four ½"
threaded mounting rods. If ceiling recessed, the entire unit (including the
projector) should set approximately 1½" above the finished ceiling in its
"stored" position. The threaded rods should pass through the corner mounting
flanges and be secured by nuts above and below. Use a thread locking
compound such as Loc Tite #242 (provided). The unit should then be guy
wired or blocked to prevent swinging.
All installations should observe the following guidelines:
À Installer must ensure that all fasteners and supports are of adequate
strength to securely support Scissor Lift and projector.
Á Fastening methods must be suitable for mounting surface, and securely
anchored so that vibration or abusive pulling on unit will not weaken
installation.
 Unit should be level, with weight shared more or less equally by all four
threaded mounting rods.
à Bottom of unit must be unobstructed after installation. Sufficient clearance
must be allowed below projector or optional ceiling closure: 4' for Model
SL4, 5' for Model SL5, etc.; 11' for Model SLX11, 12' for Model SLX12, etc.
Ä Access from above the unit, with enough clearance to remove the top
cover, should be provided in case service is required.
Å Do not use unit to support adjacent ceiling, light fixtures, etc.
Æ Do not complete the ceiling below unit until electrical connections have
been completed and unit has been operated successfully.
Ç We recommend that safety cables be attached to the Scissor Lift for added
security (a sound installation practice with overhead equipment).
Electrical Connections
Unit operates on 110v AC, 60 Hz. current.
Removing the top cover of the unit and opening the electrical box exposes
terminals for field connections. Unit is shipped with internal wiring complete
and control switch (es) pre-wired for Pre-Installation Testing Procedure. Wire
to connect unit to power supply should be furnished by installer. Connections
should be made in accordance with wiring diagram, and wiring should comply
with national and local electrical codes. All operating switches should be "off"
before power is connected.
Scissor Lift should be operated and checked prior to installing projector and/
or optional ceiling closure.
