DANGERS, WARNINGS & CAUTIONS
SAFETY ALERTS (Required Reading!) The following SAFETY ALERTS are intended to create awareness of owners, operators, and maintenance personnel of the potential safety hazards and the steps that must be taken to avoid accidents. These same alerts are inserted throughout this manual to identify specific hazards that may endanger uninformed personnel. Identification of every conceivable hazardous situation is impossible. Therefore, all personnel have the responsibility to diligently exercise safe practices whenever exposed to this equipment. ____________________________________________________________
DANGER!
Identifies a hazardous situation that presents the imminent probability of death or of severe personal injury!! _____________________________________________________________
WARNING! Identifies a hazardous situation that has the potential of causing death or serious personal injury.
CAUTION!
Identifies a hazardous situation that could lead to the possibility of personal injury of death, and/or may result in equipment damage. _____________________________________________________________

Read and understand this manual and all labels prior to operating or servicing the bridge. All labels are provided in accordance with ANSI Z535.4. DANGER! To avoid personal injury, stand clear of the bridge and handrails while it is in motion. DANGER! HIGH VOLTAGE!! Disconnect and/or lock out the electrical supply to the power unit prior to any maintenance being performed. DANGER! NEVER go under the bridge or perform maintenance until the load is removed and the bridge is securely blocked. See “Blocking Instructions” section in this manual. WARNING! All warning and information decals should be in place as outlined in the “Label Identification” section. If decals are missing or damaged, they should be replaced with new ones. Contact an Autoquip representative for replacements.
DANGERS, WARNINGS & CAUTIONS

WARNING! Under circumstances should the flow control be modified or removed from the pump or Deltatrol to obtain faster lowering speed. A loaded lift can reach dangerous and destructive speed and/or unnecessary closing of the velocity fuses. WARNING!
NO RIDERS when the bridge is in motion.
CAUTION!
Become familiar with this manual before operating this equipment.
CAUTION!
Use only approved oils. See “Oil Requirements” in the Maintenance Section.
CAUTION!
Precaution should be taken to prevent the introduction of contaminates such as dirt or other foreign material into the system through open fittings, pipes, or disassembled components. Contamination will ruin the hydraulic system.
DANGERS, WARNINGS & CAUTIONS
CAUTION!
The bridge must be fully lowered before moving a load onto it. Serious damage to the bridge and its components can result.

SAFETY FEATURES
HYDRAULIC VELOCITY FUSES Each hydraulic cylinder has a hydraulic velocity fuse (HVF) installed in the cylinder port. These HVFs are installed in the predetermined hydraulic oil flow velocity as the oil returns to the reservoir. They do not affect incoming oil. Should a catastrophic rupture or breach occur in the hydraulic system and oil flows through the breach that exceeds the HVF rating, the HVF will trigger and lock up. This lock up will occur with one to two inches of downward movement of the platform carriage. NOTE: Air in the system will also cause a lock up. Air acts like a spring when compressed. To remove air from the system, see “Air Bleeding Procedures” in the General Maintenance section. NOTE: Small fitting leaks will trigger the HVFs. In an air-free system, the breach must be large enough to cause an uncontrolled or destructive lowering speed. Should a triggering and loc up occur, it can only be released by applying upward hydraulic flow in a functional system. SAFETY RELEASE BYPASS VALVE (SRBV) The SRBV is a part of the hydraulic system. Should the system pressure exceed the predetermined pressure setting, the SRBV will bypass the pump output back to the oil reservoir. The SRBV is factory set to the proper pressure, which will prevent damage to the mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical systems due to overloading, obstruction, or other circumstances. SAFETY LEGS / SAFETY WINGS The safety legs are automatic devices which serve two critical safety functions:
1. If the bridge is left open over a long period of time (possibly over the weekend) a slow downward drift may occur due to the normal bleeding of hydraulic pressure across the valve seats in the check valve and dump valve. In the extended position, the safety legs will make contact with the adjacent curb angles, prevent the bridge from drifting any further, and maintain the bridges vertical position.
2. If the bridge were to experience a sudden and unexpected loss of hydraulic pressure while being stored in the vertical position, the safety legs would support the bridge until repairs could be made.

BASCULE BRIDGE AND SAFETY LEG OPERATION
UP: PRESSING THE "UP" BUTTON WILL CAUSE THE PUMP MOTOR TO START AND THE BRIDGE TO RAISE. AS THE BRIDGE APPROACHES VERTICAL AND THE SAFETY LEGS CLEAR THE CURB ANGLE, THE SAFETY LEGS WILL BE POWERED OUT. WHEN THE SAFETY LEGS ARE FULLY EXTENDED, THE POWER UNIT IS AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF. THE "UP" PUISHBUTTON CAN BE RELEASED AT THIS TIME.
DOWN: PRESSING THE "DOWN" PUSHBUTTON WHEN THE BRIDGE IS UP WILL CAUSE THE PUMP MOTOR TO START MOMENTARILY. THE BRIDGE WILL RAISE SLIGHTLY AND THE SAFETY LEGS WILL BE POWERED IN. THE PUMP MOTOR THEN STOPS AND THE BRIDGE WILL LOWER. WHEN THE BRIDGE IS FULLY LOWERED RELEASE THE "DOWN" PUSHBUTTON.
THE PUSHBUTTONS ARE CONSTANT PRESSURE (DEAD-MAN TYPE). RELEASING A PUSHBUTTON AT ANY TIME DURING BRIDGE OPERATION WILL STOP THE BRIDGE AT THAT POINT.
NOTES: THE SAFETY LEGS ARE SAFETY DEVICES WITH A TWO-FOLD FUNCTION:
(1) IF THE BRIDGE IS LEFT UP OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME, POSSIBLY OVER A WEEKEND, A SLOW DOWNWARD DRIFT MAY OCCUR DUE TO NORMAL LEAKAGE TOLERANCES OF ANY VALVE. THE SAFETY LEG WILL CONTACT THE CURB ANGLE, STOP THE BRIDGE AND MAINTAIN IT'S VERTICAL POSITION.
(2) IF THE BRIDGE WERE TO EXPERIENCE LOSS OF HYDRAULIC PRESSURE WHEN IN THE VERTICAL POSITION, THE SAFETY LEGS WOULD SUPPORT THE BRIDGE AND MAINTAIN IT'S VERTICAL POSITION. THE BRIDGE MUST BE MOMENTARILY POWERED UP AND THE SAFETY LEGS POWERED INWARD BEFORE THE BRIDGE WILL LOWER. THE BRIDGE MUST HAVE A PROPERLY FUNCTIONING HYDRAULIC SYSTEM (SUPPLYING HYDRAULIC POWER) FOR THE BRIDGE TO LOWER. THE BRIDGE WOULD MAINTAIN ITS VERTICAL POSITION UNTIL REPAIRS ARE MADE.
- THE SAFETY LEGS DO NOT REST ON THE CURB ANGLE IN NORMAL BRIDGE OPERATION. THEY PERFORM THEIR FUNCTION AS NOTED IN ITEMS #1 & #2 ABOVE.
- THE 1" CLEARANCE ALLOWS THE SAFETY LEGS CLEARANCE WHILE BEING POWERED OUT AND IN. IF THE BRIDGE SHOULD DRIFT DOWNWARD AND THE SAFETY LEGS REST ON THE CURB ANGLE, THE ENTIRE BRIDGE WILL STILL REMAIN WITHIN THE 24" CUTOUT (MINIMUM), AS STATED ON THE ELEVATION VIEW.

OIL CAPACITY: Reservoir capacity for the steel tank is approximately 23 gallons.
The oil level in the reservoir should be 1” to 1 ½” below the top of the reservoir with the bridge in the fully lowered position. PIPE THREAD SEALANT Loctite PST #567 pipe thread sealant or equivalent is recommended. Do not use Teflon tape. Tape fragments can cause malfunctioning of the hydraulic system.
29
1. Change oil once a year or when it materially darkens or feels gritty. Also, check oil
for the presence of water (oil will turn milky in color.) 2. NEVER TRY TO DISASSEMBLE OR REPAIR A PUMP IN THE FIELD. These
pumps are high-precision devices requiring extreme precision in fit-up. When one is damaged, there is seldom anything that can be repaired in the field. It is also more economical to replace a pump than to refit old parts with new parts.
DANGER!
To avoid personal injury, NEVER go under the bridge or perform any maintenance until the load is removed and the bridge is securely blocked. See "Blocking Instructions" section.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE

POWER UNIT DANGER!
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
HIGH VOLTAGE!! Disconnect and/or lock out the electrical supply to the power unit prior to any maintenance being performed.
1. The power unit utilizes a heavy-duty 5 HP/208, 230, or 460 Volts/60 hertz/3 phase
motor coupled to a high-pressure positive displacement gear pump, and Autoquip Corporation’s patented Deltatrol valve assembly
2. The following should be referenced in connecting the standard heavy-duty motors to
power sources. Remember that heavy wire must be used all the way to the power source.
Power Unit 208 Volts 230 Volts 460 Volts Standard Three Phase 16 AMPS 15.2 AMPS 7.6 AMPS
NOTE: All amperage draws shown are full-load amperages.
CYLINDER REMOVAL AND REPACKING (see Figure 14) 1. Lower the bridge and block securely. See “Blocking Instructions”. 2. Loosen and remove the cylinder hose at the hose union in the tee connection
between the cylinders. Place the open end of the hose in a container to receive oil spillage.
3. Remove the pin retaining screw in the cylinder clevis or pin retaining rings, and
carefully tap out the clevis pin. 4. Remove the cylinder from the bridge. 5. Push the piston rod into the tube to eject as much oil as possible into a container. 6. Pull the rod out of the cylinder tube sufficiently to gain access to the face spanner
wrench holes on the rod end of the cylinder. Do not allow oil or dirt to be pulled back into the hydraulic hose.
31
GENERAL MAINTENANCE 7. Using a face spanner wrench, turn the bearing assembly clockwise until the tip of
the retainer appears in the slot in the outer surface of the cylinder tube. 8. Insert a small blade screwdriver under the tip of the retainer and turn the bearing
assembly counter-clockwise until the retainer is free of the slot. NOTE: The wire retainer may be a cutting or puncturing hazard.
9. Pull the rod out of the tube slowly to remove the rod and bearing assembly.
NOTE: Use caution to prevent surface damage to the rod. This could result in seal failure and/or leakage.
10. Inspect the bore of the tube. Hone if necessary to remove any surface
imperfections in the bore. Flush thoroughly after honing to remove chips and grit. 11. Remove the piston lock nut and slide off the piston and bearing assembly. Take
care to protect the rod surface from damage. 12. Install new packing and seals on the piston, rod, and bearing assembly. Inspect all
grooves and seal surfaces for any imperfections and repair or replace as necessary.
13. Grease all seals and packing liberally and install the bearing assembly and the
piston on the rod and torque the lock nut to 500 ft. lbs. 14. Install the rod into the tube using care not to damage any seals or packing. 15. Align the retainer hole in the bearing assembly groove with the slot in the tube. 16. Insert the retainer hook end in the hole/slot and using a face spanner wrench, turn
the bearing assembly clockwise until the retainer is completely inserted in the groove/slot in the tube.
17. Install the assembled cylinder into the bridge by carefully driving the clevis pin
through the clevises. Install the pin retaining hairpin clips. 18. Connect the cylinder(s) to the hydraulic hose from the power unit using the
recommended sealant. Do not use Teflon Tape. 19. Check all pins and other mechanical as well as hydraulic components to assure
that the assembly is complete and in good working order.
32
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
20. Turn the electrical supply back on and press the “UP” button on the controller to
raise the bridge. NOTE: 15 to 30 seconds time may elapse to fill the empty cylinders before movement is noted.
21. Press the “DOWN” button on the controller to cycle the lift to the fully lowered
position. Hold the “DOWN” button 30 to 40 seconds to allow air in the cylinders to bleed back into the reservoir tank.
22. Cycle the bridge 10 to 15 times and repeat the bleeding operation by holding the
”DOWN” button for 30 to 40 seconds. 23. Check the oil level in the reservoir with the bridge in the fully lowered position. Add
as necessary (see “Routine Maintenance” for oil recommendations). 24. Clean the oil filler breather cap if it appears dirty. 25. Clean up any debris and or spilled oil from the area.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
VELOCITY FUSE REPLACEMENT
DANGER!
Do not attempt to remove the velocity fuse until the bridge is securely supported with the blocking devices and all hydraulic pressure has been removed from the lifting cylinders and hydraulic hoses. Failure to follow these instructions could result in personal injury or death!
Never attempt to take a velocity fuse apart and repair it. These are precision devices that are factory assembled under exacting conditions. Velocity fuses should always be replaced. 1. The arrow on the exterior surface of the velocity fuse shows the direction of the
restriction to the oil flow. The arrow should always point away from the cylinder. 2. Do not use Teflon tape on the threaded connections of a velocity fuse. Tape
fragments can cause malfunctioning of the fuse. 3. Check all fitting connections for hydraulic leaks and tighten as necessary. HOSE ORIENTATION To prevent damage to the cylinder hose(s) and possible failure of bridge, it is necessary to establish a correct hose shape and pattern of movement as follows: 1. Lower the bridge and block securely. See “Blocking Instructions”. 2. Install one end of the new hose to the cylinder elbow fitting. 3. Raise the bridge carefully and check to see that the hose is free and clear of the
cylinder and other structured members. If not, twist the hose in the direction necessary to clear it of any obstruction and then lock the swivel fitting securely.
35
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
ROCK SALT It has been discovered that rock salt is being used to melt the ice and snow off of the platforms in the northern region and during the winter months. Rock salt will accelerate the deterioration of any paint. Therefore, Autoquip recommends the use of a synthetic “Ice Melt” product in lieu of rock salt. Warranty on the paint finish will be denied when it is suspected that rock salt has been used. Please contact the Product Support Team at Autoquip at 1-888-811-9876 or 405-282-5200.

TROUBLESHOOTING ANALYSIS
DANGER!
To avoid personal injury, NEVER go under the bridge or perform any maintenance until the load is removed and the bridge is securely blocked. See "Blocking Instructions" section.
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE AND SOLUTION Bridge does not raise. • The motor voltage/wiring may be incorrect.
• The hydraulic line or hose may be leaking. • Oil in the reservoir may be low. Add oil as
necessary (See the “Routine Maintenance” section.)
• The load may exceed the bridge rating. (See the “Specifications” section.)
• The suction screen may be clogged. Remove and clean the screen. Drain and replace the oil.
• The suction line may be leaking air due to a loose fitting. Tighten as needed.
• The breather holes in the reservoir fill plug may be clogged. Remove and clean.
• The "Down" valve may be energized by faulty wiring or stuck open. Remove the solenoid and check.
• The power unit pump may be defective • The structural members of the bridge may be in
a bind. • The manual lowering device may be engaged.
Bridge seems bouncy during operation.
• There may be air in the hydraulic system. Bleed the air from the cylinder
• Oil in the reservoir may be low. Add oil as
necessary (See the “Routine Maintenance” section.)
• The power unit suction strainer may be clogged.
• The power unit suction line may be leaking.

TROUBLESHOOTING ANALYSIS
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE AND SOLUTION Bridge will not lower. • The down solenoid may be malfunctioning.
• The structural members may be in a bind. • The tubing or hose is obstructed or broken. Check
for obstruction in the line. • The return filter may be clogged. • The velocity fuse may be locked. Do not attempt to
remove the velocity fuse. The following steps should be followed:
1. Inspect all fittings, hoses, and other hydraulic components for leads or damage. 2. If no leak or damage is noticed, attempt to pressurize the lifting cylinder by depressing the “UP” button on the controller for a few seconds. Immediately up releasing the “UP” button, depress the “DOWN” button. If the bridge starts to lower, continue pressing the “DOWN” button until the bridge is in the fully lowered position. 3. If the bridge does not lower after trying Step 2, wait approximately 10 – 15 minutes for the pressure in the hydraulic system to equalize. Momentarily press the “UP” button, then, depress the “DOWN” button until the bridge is in the fully lowered position. 4. Once the bridge is in the fully lowered position, bleed the air from the hydraulic system by depressing the “DOWN” button. Hold the “DOWN” button for approximately 60 seconds. This step may need to be repeated several times to fully remove the air in the system by raising the bridge to 50% of its travel and then lowering it.
• Should the above steps not correct the problem,
contact Autoquip to obtain instruction for further action.

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE AND SOLUTION Bridge raises slowly. • The structural members of the bridge may be
binding.
• The tubing or hose is obstructed or broken. Where pipe is used, check for obstruction in the line.
• The hydraulic line or hose may be leaking.
• The oil viscosity is not suited for the environmental
conditions. Refer to “Routine Maintenance” section for oil recommendations.
• Check the oil level in the reservoir.
• The motor voltage/wiring may be incorrect.
• The suction screen may be clogged. Remove and
clean the screen. Drain and replace the oil.
• The suction line may be leaking air due to a loose fitting. Tighten as needed.
• The breather holes in the reservoir fill plug may be
clogged. Remove and clean.
• The power unit pump may be defective.
