Dhollandia DH-SMT Installation Manual

To properly operate the Dhollandia DH-SMT tail lift, ensure the vehicle is parked on level ground. Engage the parking brake and switch on the power supply. Use the control unit to carefully lower the platform to the ground, then load or unload as needed.
If the DH-SMT tail lift is not responding, first check the power supply and ensure the emergency stop is not activated. Inspect the control unit and cables for any visible damage. If the problem persists, consult the user manual or contact a professional technician.
Regularly check hydraulic fluid levels and top up as necessary with the recommended fluid type. Inspect hoses and connections for leaks or damage and replace any worn components. Every six months, have a professional perform a complete hydraulic system check.
Always wear appropriate safety gear. Ensure the area is clear of bystanders and obstacles. Never exceed the maximum load capacity. Use the controls smoothly to avoid sudden movements, and always keep a safe distance from the moving parts.
Conduct a basic inspection before each use to ensure functionality. Schedule routine maintenance checks every three months, and a comprehensive inspection annually by a certified technician to ensure all components are in good working order.
To replace the control unit, first disconnect the power supply. Remove the existing unit by unscrewing the mounting hardware. Connect the new control unit using the provided harness, ensuring all connections are secure. Test the system before returning it to regular use.
To adjust platform leveling, locate the leveling controls on the hydraulic system. Make small adjustments to the valves to ensure the platform is even. It is recommended to perform this task with the assistance of another person to ensure accuracy.
Common issues include blown fuses, corroded connections, and damaged wiring. Regularly inspect these components and clean or replace them as necessary. Always ensure the power supply is stable and compatible with the tail lift's requirements.
To prevent corrosion, regularly clean the lift, especially after exposure to salt or chemicals. Apply a protective coating or lubricant to metal parts and store the vehicle in a dry environment when not in use. Regular inspections can help identify early signs of corrosion.
In case of power failure, locate the manual lowering valve on the hydraulic system. Follow the instructions in the user manual to safely release the hydraulic pressure and lower the platform. Ensure all safety measures are in place before attempting this procedure.
