OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
To Raise
, push the power switch button on the power unit and hold while it the electric motor turns
on. The motor operates an internal pump that forces hydraulic oil into the lift piston, which extends
the piston rod & roller chain to raise the lift. (Fig 29.)
As the lift rises, an internal safety latch will pass over the steel
latch stops (rectangular blocks which protrude from the back,
inside of the lift column), and you will hear
“clanks” as it does so.
This sound is normal and indicates that the safety latch is passing
over the latch stops properly.
The lift is raised to the desired height by holding the switch button
in while it is rising and releasing the button when the lift has
reached its desired position.
For safety, it is required to release the hydraulic pressure inside
the cylinder to lower the lift to nearest lower latch stop. To do this,
simply press down the release handle on the power unit. Then,
the lifting frame and carriage
’s safety latch will rest on the latch
stop inside the column. (Fig 29.)
Fig. 29
To Lower
, first you need to depress the power switch button a
second or two to raise the lift up a little. Then, pull the safety latch
release cable to disengage the safety latch to fully lower. After
that press down the release handle again and hold. (Fig. 30).
The weight of the vehicle will cause the lift to lower by gravity. No
power is required to be applied to the power unit while lowering,
but the safety latch must be disengaged to allow the lift to lower
past the latch stops.
After the installation is complete, raise the lift about two feet high
and then fully lower. Repeat this process two or three times and
check reservoir fluid level, while fully lowered. Only add hydraulic
fluid to the reservoir
’s fill line, if necessary. This assures that
hydraulic oil is properly distributed throughout the hydraulic system.
Fig. 30
Only add hydraulic fluid to the reservoir with the lift in the fully “down” position. If you
fill the reservoir in the “up” position and then lower the lift, there will be too much
hydraulic oil in the system and will leak out of the reservoir tank.
