Raising a Vehicle
This section describes how to position a Vehicle on the Lift and raise it.
To raise a Vehicle
:
1.
Check the items listed in
If you find any issues, resolve them
before
raising the Vehicle.
2.
Make sure both Platforms are fully lowered.
3.
Drive the Vehicle over the Platforms and situate it correctly.
⚠
CAUTION
Make sure to position the Vehicle so that neither the front nor the rear wheels are
over the Platforms. If you raise the Platforms with the wheels over the Platforms,
you could damage the wheels.
4.
Put the Vehicle in park, put on the parking brake, and turn off the Vehicle.
If the Vehicle is a manual transmission, put it into first gear before turning it off.
5.
Walk around the Vehicle and make sure there are no obstructions or any other issues that will
interfere with the raising of the Platforms.
6.
Locate the manufacturer’s recommended Lifting Points for the Vehicle you are raising.
⚠
WARNING
Do not ‘eyeball’ the best location for the Lift Pads.
The Lift Pads must hit the
manufacturer’s recommended Lifting Points
; if they do not, the Vehicle
could become unstable and fall, which could damage the Vehicle, damage the Lift,
or injure or even kill anyone under or near the Vehicle.
7.
Put the Lift Pads under the Vehicle so that they are
directly under
the Lifting Points for the
Vehicle you are raising.
If necessary, use the included Lift Pad Extensions for extra height.
8.
On the Power Unit, press and hold the
Raise
button to raise the Lift until
just before
the Lift
Pads make contact with the Lifting Points.
9.
Make sure the Lift Pads will make solid contact with the Lifting Points when raised further.
10.
Raise the Lift until the tires of the Vehicle are a few inches off the ground.
11.
Visually check to make sure the Lift Pads are making solid contact with the Lifting Points.
If any of the Lift Pads are
not
making solid contact with the Lifting Points, lower the Lift and adjust
the Lift Pads so that they make better contact.
12.
Rock the Vehicle to make sure the Vehicle is stable and balanced.
If the Vehicle is
not
stable and balanced, lower the Lift back to the ground and start over.
If the Vehicle
is
stable and balanced, it is safe to raise further.
⚠
DANGER
Do not raise the Lift further until you are certain the Vehicle on the Lift is both stable
and balanced. If the Vehicle is
not
stable and balanced, it could fall, which could
damage the Vehicle, damage the Lift, or injure or kill anyone under the Vehicle.
13.
On the Power Unit, press and hold the
Raise
button.
14.
Watch the Vehicle and the Platforms as they rise.
