Q: How is the EZ Loader setup?

A: Once you have located your EZ Loader within the working environment safely, you pressurise the pneumatic scissor mechanism by connecting your air supply to the tank valve. Set the EZ Loader adjust knob to Light Weight setting. When connected, you set the air pressure to 60 psi (shown on the air gauge) in the raised position. Place your load on the rotating platform. Now, slowly open the purge valve (releasing air) and close the valve when the required working height is reached. You can adjust the EZ Loader knob to Medium and Heavy for heavier loads.
