Operation
The 2-post lift can be used to lift vehicles with a maximum weight of 3500kg, which makes it easier to
carry out maintenance and repairing operations to the car.
Prepairing
Put the car in de middle of the two columns, so the point of gravity is centered between the two
columns and place the telescopic arms under the carriage of the car. Make sure the weight of the
vehicle is equally distributioned. Before lifting the vehicle turn up the rubber pads until they support
the lifting areas under the vehicle as specified by the vehicle’s manufacturer. Place the pad centered
under the lifting point so it supports the weight firmly and centered.
Caution! Every vehicle is to be
lifted correctly. It is possible the manufacturer of the vehicle prescribes an adapter, read the
vehicle’s manual before lifting.
Lifting
When the power is connected, turn the main powerswitch (1,
fig.20) from position ‘0’ to ‘1’, the green light (6, fig.20) turns on.
Push the LIFT-button (2, fig.20) and the car is lifted. When the car is
lifted 100-150mm of the ground, release the button to stop lifting.
Move the car to make sure it sits firmly and stable on the rubber
pads. Now press the LIFT-button again to lift the vehicle to the
desired height.
Stopping
Release the LIFT-button, the lift is automatically stopped.
Locking
Press the LOCK-button (3, fig.20) and hold it for a few seconds. When the lifting bodies are
locked, release the button.
CAUTION! The lift has to be locked at all times, before any work can be
done to the vehicle.
Lowering
Press the LOWERING-button (4, fig.22), first the lift raises a little bit, then the safety locks open and
the pump’s magnetic valve opens the hydraulic cylinders. The lowering of the lift is delayed for about
1 to 2 seconds by the magnetic valve, at the same time the engine is stopped. Now the vehicle lowers
to the safe height.
Lowering from the safe height to the lowest position
The lift lowers to the safe height by the weight of the arms and vehicle. Make sure there are no
persons or objects within the safety zone surrounding the lift. Now press the LOCK-button (3, fig.20)
until the lift is lowered completely, you will hear a beeping sound and the red light (5, fig.20) on the
control-unit lights up. The lift is now lowering to the lowest possible position.
