NOTE:
Read & adhere to all WARNING, CAUTION and SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS labels on lift.
Vehicle Loading:
·

distribution (center of gravity should be evenly distributed
between columns).
·
Set vehicle parking brake and chock tires to prevent
vehicle movement.
·
Use caution before lifting pickup trucks, sport utility and
other type vehicles. The individual axle weight capacity
should not exceed 1/2 of lift
’s capacity.
·
Make sure vehicle is neither front nor rear heavy.
CAUTION!
Always Chock Wheels and Set Parking Brake Before Lifting Vehicle.
Raising Lift:
·
Push START / UP button to raise lift until runways clear the floor.
·
Stop and check for vehicle movement and vehicle weight distribution. If secure, raise to desired height.
·
Always lower the lift to the nearest lock position by pressing the lower lever to relieve the hydraulic
pressure and let the latches set tight in a lock position.
·
Never work under a lift that is not in the locked position at all four corners of lift.
WARNING!!
Always have the Lift in the Locked Position before going under the vehicle. Never
Allow any Person(s) to go under Lift whenever Raising or Lowering.

Power Unit to lower lift.
·
Ensure lift is fully lowered before driving vehicle off lift.

ramps.
NOTE:
It is normal for an Empty Lift to lower slowly - it may be necessary to Add Weight.
WARNING!!
Pay close attention to the lowering speed of all four corners to make sure they are
moving down at the same speed to either lower onto safety latches or lowering to the ground.
If one corner or corners do not properly lower, stop the lowering the operation immediately.
Adjustments to Latch Rack and/or Lift Cables may be required, noted in Step 9.
