Installing Optional Ceiling Closure Panel— Size "B" or "E"
If your Scissor Lift is equipped with a "B" or "E" ceiling closure panel, it can be
used as is, or in conjunction with a piece of existing ceiling tile.
➀ If installing with ceiling tile, you may need to cut tile so overall dimensions are
the same as (or slightly less than) the closure panel. Place tile into trim frame.
Lay closure panel on top (back side) of tile & tighten screws to hold in place.
➁ Attach provided angle brackets to side of bottom of Scissor Lift.
➂ For larger units, attach short angle brackets to ends of long angle brackets.
➃ Attach

" threaded rods to angle bracket.
➄ Run unit “up” until bottom pan stops at highest position. Mark po si tion on

rods even with ceiling level and cut to length (remove from pan if convenient).
➅ Run unit “down” until bottom pan stops at “show” position.
➆ Attach closure to lower end of
5
/
16
" rods by slipping into four corner slots
and secure with nuts above and below slots.
➇ Run unit “up” again to highest position. Measure distance by which panel
fails to reach required “closed” height for sur round ing ceil ing.
➈ Run unit “down” then re-adjust mounting of
5
/
16
" rods in traveling grid to
raise panel required distance.
➉ Test unit operation to confi rm that panel will stop in closed position just
before touching ceiling.
NOTE: Immediately upon completion of the surrounding ceiling, unit should be
operated to confi rm that optional ceiling closure panel stops just short of touching
ceiling in closed position.
Installing Optional Ceiling Closure—All other Sizes
Your Scissor Lift can be equipped with an optional ceiling closure sys tem. To
install it:
➀ Remove closure and all mounting hardware from carton.
➁ Optional ceiling closure can be mounted in either of the following styles:
A. If ceiling tile is to be inserted in the closure, this may be done now, or
later when the rest of the ceiling is in stalled (per mit ting a better match).
Cut tile so that its overall dimensions are the same as (or slightly less
than) the closure panel. Attach to the closure panel with adhesive.
B. Position one pre-cut aluminum tee along outside edge of panel so arm
extends under and rests on the panel (or tile if tile is being used). Be
careful not to compress the tile. Drill three holes through rib of tee into
edge of panel and pop rivet into place (or use self-tapping screws).
C. Follow same procedure with remaining 3 tees.
NOTE: Since tees comprise part of exposed trim, care should be taken
to ensure accurate fi t.
➂ Attach two (2) mounting angles to the corresponding holes in the bottom
pan with the supplied hardware.
➃ Attach other two (2) mounting angles at 90° to previous angles (right to left)
in the corresponding holes with the supplied hard ware.
➄ Attach one of four
