1-5 DAMAGED EQUIPMENT POLICY

Safety Statement

At Bil-Jax, we are dedicated to the safety of all users of our products. Therefore, all

Bil-Jax lifts are designed, manufactured and tested to comply with current applicable

Federal OSHA and ANSI codes and regulations.

Damage Policy

There may be occasions when a Bil-Jax lift is involved in an incident that results in struc-

tural damage to the lift. This can seriously compromise the ability of the lift to perform in

a safe manner. Therefore, whenever a Bil-Jax lift is damaged structurally or when there is

the possibility of structural damage (this damage may be internal and is not always visi-

ble to the naked eye), Bil-Jax requires that the lift be returned to our facility at 125 Tay-

lor Parkway, Archbold, Ohio, for reconditioning. If you have any questions concerning

what constitutes structural damage, please call the Bil-Jax Service Department at

800-537-0540.

Damage Repair Notice

There may be occasions when a Bil-Jax lift is involved in an incident resulting in non-

structural damage. When this occurs and repairs are made by the owner or area distribu-

tor, please notify Bil-Jax of these non-maintenance repairs and request a repair form to

be filled out and returned to Bil-Jax.

Introduction

2-1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The model XLT-1571 Cougar Lift is designed and manufactured for use as a warehouse

stocking and order picking machine. 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 maximum platform load is limited to 500 lbs.

Platform elevation is accomplished by means of a 1-1/2 inch displacement type hydraulic

cylinder. 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. The platform is raised three inches for each one inch of

cylinder extension. Platform elevation and descent is controlled by pushbuttons on the

upper control box located on the platform.

Safety of operation is assured by proper inspection and maintenance procedures as set

forth in this manual. The possibility of platform free-fall is eliminated by proper mainte-

nance and replacement of the chains, sheaves and sheave pins, a properly installed flow

restrictor valve, and a clean mast. 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. A hydraulic hose failure will result in the same rate of descent, eliminating free-

fall, when the restrictor valve is installed properly.

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.

The Cougar Lift features a displacement type of cylinder that will not rust or corrode dur-

ing storage since the cylinder rod is immersed in oil. It is important that the cylinder rod

be kept clean and undamaged for the protection of the cylinder head packing.

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.

Carefully read all the safety instructions contained in Section 1 of this manual before op-

erating the Cougar Lift.

4-3 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

Hydraulic system maintenance varies by the amount of use and the environment in which

the lift is used. Constant attention to keep the oil clean and the reservoir properly filled

will help prevent possible damage to the system.

Hydraulic System Inspection

Check all hydraulic hoses and fittings for leaks and damage daily. Tighten or replace as

necessary to prevent hydraulic oil loss. Refer to the hydraulic schematic diagram in Sec-

tion 6 for general reference.

Fluid Check and Replacement

The reservoir should be filled to within 1/2 inch of the top with the platform in its lowest

position. The lift is shipped from the factory with Energol HLP-HD46 (BP Oil), a high

grade, non-foaming hydraulic oil designed for temperatures as low as -20F/-29C. Use

Dextron Automatic Transmission Fluid Type A for temperatures as low as -40F/-40C.

If either oil is not available, a good grade SAE 10W hydraulic oil may be used where the

minimum climatic temperature is above 32F/0C. SAE 5W hydraulic oil may be used

where temperatures are as low as 0F/-18C. Do not mix different hydraulic oils. Clean

the reservoir sump strainer and replace the hydraulic oil at least once a year or whenever

it becomes contaminated.

Hydraulic System Air Bleeding Procedure

Delayed response or sporadic action in the unit may indicate a presence of air in the cyl-

inder. Perform the following procedure to bleed air from the system.

1. Fill the reservoir with the proper hydraulic fluid.

2. Fully extend the lift.

3. Lower the unit to allow the oil with entrapped air to return to the reservoir, be-

ing careful not to overflow it.

4. Let the unit set while the air escapes the fluid and then repeat if necessary. Each

time the platform is lowered, refill the reservoir to prevent pumping more air

into the cylinder.

XLT-1571AC

Pressure Relief Valve Reset

Perform the following procedure to reset the pressure relief valve. Refer to Figure 4-3.

1. Disconnect the hydraulic hose from the main pressure port.

2. Install a 4000 psi gauge into the main pressure port in the pump unit.

CAUTION

Do not adjust the pressure relief valve higher than 2100 psi. Overloading may

occur at pressures greater than 2100 psi.

3. Remove the hex cover from the pressure relief valve.

4. While depressing the WHEEL DOWN/BASE ROLLS pushbutton on the lower control

box, adjust the screw until maximum pressure of 2100 psi is obtained.

5. After adjusting the pressure relief valve, replace the hex cover, remove the 4000

psi gauge, and reconnect the hydraulic hose to the main pressure port.

6. If a gauge is unavailable, place 500 pounds on the platform and adjust the pres-

sure relief valve screw so that the load can just be lifted without bypassing oil

through the pressure relief valve.

4 — MAINTENANCE

Flow Restrictor Valve Replacement

If the flow restrictor valve Figure 4-4 needs to be removed or replaced, it is important

that it be properly reinstalled. The valve will be marked either with an arrow or with the

word “IN”. If marked with an arrow, the arrow must point away from the hydraulic cyl-

inder port. If marked with the word “IN”, the end of the valve marked “IN” must be to-

ward the hydraulic cylinder port. Only a 1/4 inch NPT hydraulic elbow should be con-

nected between the hydraulic cylinder port and the end of the flow restrictor valve.

Improper installation of the flow restrictor valve or the use of the wrong size elbow will

permit widely varying rates of descent and may result in near free-fall in case of hose

failure.

Raise Valve Operation Check

The raise valve is a normally open (N.O.) valve in the hydraulic system. Perform the fol-

lowing procedures to check the operation of the raise valve.

1. Disconnect the black and yellow wires from the solenoid, to the valve at the

wire connector, Figure 4-5.

2. On the upper control box, select UP on the direction selector switch while de-

pressing the ON pushbutton. This should cause the motor to run without the plat-

form raising.

3. If the platform raises, the raise valve must be cleaned or replaced.

4. Reconnect the wires at the connector between the solenoid and the raise valve

upon determining that the valve is functioning properly.

Hydraulic Cylinder Repair

CAUTION

Removing the hydraulic cylinder from the Cougar Lift requires major disassem-

bly of the unit. Contact Bil-Jax before removing the hydraulic cylinder from the

unit for assistance.

Hydraulic Cylinder Removal

It is recommended that Bil-Jax be contacted for assistance before removing the hydraulic

cylinder.

1. Be sure cylinder is completely retracted and pressure is released from the sys-

tem. Place a pan underneath the hydraulic cylinder to catch the hydraulic oil.

2. Disconnect the hydraulic hose from the bottom of the cylinder and drain the hy-

draulic oil. Remove the two bolts, washers, and nuts securing the bottom of the

cylinder to the base.

3. Remove the plexiglass cover from the base.

4. Remove the mounting bolt, washer, and nut securing the top of the hydraulic

cylinder to the lower mast.

5. Disconnect the two lift chains from the base mast.

6. Using a crane with at least one ton of lifting capacity, lift the lower mast section

high enough to remove the clamp securing the cylinder to the base, and remove

the cylinder from the unit.

7. After maintenance has been performed on the hydraulic cylinder, follow the re-

moval procedure in reverse to reinstall the cylinder in the unit.

Hydraulic Cylinder Repair Procedure

Perform the following procedure to repair and maintain the hydraulic lift cylinder. Refer

to Figure 4-6. It is recommended that whenever the hydraulic cylinder is disassembled,

all seals be replaced; order seal repair kit B02-13-0097.

1. Remove gland nut (3, Figure 4-6) with gland nut seal (4), rod wiper (2), and

o-ring (5) from the cylinder jacket (1).

2. Remove piston rod (6) and wear ring (7). Inspect piston rod (6) for any

scratches or pits. Pits that go into the base metal are unacceptable. Scratches that

catch the fingernail, but are not through the base metal or less than 1/2 inch long

and are around the rod are acceptable providing they are not sharp enough to cut

the seal. The rod surface should not have any of the chrome worn through. Re-

place the cylinder if any of these conditions are not met.

3. Clean inside the cylinder jacket (1) and inspect for any scratches or pits. Pits

that are deep enough to catch the fingernail are unacceptable. Scratches that

catch the fingernail, but are less than 1/2 inch long and are around the tube are

acceptable providing they are not sharp enough to cut the seal. Replace the cyl-

inder if any of these conditions are not met.

4. Install wear ring (7) into the grooves at the bottom of the piston rod (6). Lubri-

cate assembly with hydraulic fluid and place back into cylinder jacket (1).

5. Lubricate rod wiper (2), gland nut seal (4), and o-ring (5) with hydraulic fluid.

6. Twist gland nut seal (4) into a “C” shape and insert it with lip side down into the

groove inside the gland nut (3). Place o-ring (5) over the threads of the gland

4-9

XLT-1571AC

nut (3) and install in groove. Install rod wiper (2) into the top of the gland nut

(3).

7. Place gland nut (3) complete with a new gland nut seal (4), rod wiper (2), and o-

ring (5) onto the cylinder and tighten down.

8. Reinstall the hydraulic cylinder into the unit and reconnect the hydraulic hose.

Refill hydraulic fluid reservoir.

9. Pressurize the cylinder and extend one full stroke to fill it with hydraulic fluid

and remove any trapped air.

4-4 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Regular maintenance is necessary to keep the electrical system in proper working order.

Check daily all electrical wires for cuts, broken wires, potential short circuits, and any

other damage.

XLT-1571AC

4-5 LIFT CHAINS AND SLIDE BLOCKS

WARNING

Do not operate a unit on which any chain assembly is damaged or in need of re-

placement. Operating a unit with a damaged chain can cause severe injury or

death to personnel and damage to equipment.

Inspect all lift chains daily. Inspect for signs of wear, split leaves, loose pins, clevis dam-

age, and elongation. Replace any chain which is damaged in any way. Chain assemblies

may be ordered from your dealer or direct from the factory. Do not operate a unit on

which any chain assembly is damaged and in need of replacement.

Chain Elongation Inspection

One pitch of chain should measure 5/8 in. (1,5875 cm). Measure 20 pitches of chain. The

ideal measurement for 20 pitches of chain should be 12.5 in. (31,75 cm). Replace the

chain if 20 pitches measure over 12.75 in. (32,385 cm). Refer to Figure 4-7.

5/8 IN. (1,5875 CM) PITCH

20 PITCHES = 12.5 IN. (31,75 CM)

REPLACE CHAIN IF 20 PITCHES MEASURES

OVER 12.75 IN (32,385 CM)

Figure 4-7. Chain Elongation Inspection

NOTE: It is recommended that chains be replaced every four years unless dam-

age or wear requires replacement at a lesser interval.

4 — MAINTENANCE

Lift Chain Adjustment

1. Raise the platform to the maximum extended height and then lower it while

someone checks to see that all sheaves are turning and checks for chain damage

or wear.

2. After the platform is completely lowered, remove the plexiglass cover from the

base.

3. Chains should be tight to the touch with no loose play. Check all four lift chains

for snugness. If a chain is loose, tighten the lock nut below the clevis retainer.

Refer to Figure 4-8. Adjust any loose chain until it just becomes snug. Do not

overtighten any chain so that the platform is raised from its resting position.

4. Make sure the lock nuts are turned onto the threaded clevis ends with at least

1/8 in. of the clevis end extending through the nut. Replace any lock nut which

does not stay in position during use. Replace the plexiglass cover.

Slide Block Adjustment

Annually check for wear on the slide blocks and replace or retighten as necessary. If the

lift exhibits excessive mast sway, it is probable that the slide blocks need adjustment. The

slide blocks should be adjusted so that there is no air gap between the slide block and the

mast the slide block is moving against. There are 12 slide blocks, 6 upper and 6 lower.

The adjustment procedure is the same for all slide blocks. Three upper slide blocks are

shown in Figure 4-9.

1. Loosen, do not remove, the slotted hex head screw securing the slide block to be

adjusted.

2. Using an allen wrench, turn the set screws in (clockwise). This will push the

block in against the next mast. Do not overtighten. Tighten the slotted hex head

screw to secure the slide block in position.

3. Check all slide blocks and make adjustments as necessary.

4. After all adjustments are made, fully extend the lift. If the platform can be low-

ered without stopping then the blocks are properly adjusted.
