Operator Training and Safe Practices

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: 

· USE LIFT CORRECTLY. Use lift in the proper manner. Never use lifting adapters other than 

what is approved by the manufacturer. 

After positioning the vehicle on the lift runways, set the emergency brake, make sure the        

ignition is off, the doors are closed, overhead obstructions are cleared 

· Use all 4 arms to raise a vehicle or make sure vehicle is positioned correctly so all four corners 

of vehicle are stationary with wheel stops. Position all lift pads to contact vehicle                 
manufacturers’ recommended lifting points. Raise lift slowly until all pads contact the vehicle. 
Check all pads for complete and   secure contact with the vehicle. Check all arm restraints to 
insure they are engaged properly. Check that the vehicle is stable on the lift. Only after          
confirming these procedures, raise the lift to desired working height. 

· Some vehicle maintenance and repair activities may cause the vehicle to shift. Follow the 

manufacturer’s guidelines when performing these operations. The use of jack stands or         
alternate lift points may be required when completing some repairs. Special care must be used 
when lifting light duty trucks.   Optional truck adapters may be required for each                 
manufacturer’s recommended lifting points. Always use these lifting points. Running boards 
and other installed accessories may also require optional adapters

. 

Insure vehicle is balanced 

when lifting light duty trucks failure to do so can cause injury and/or death.  

· Removal or installation of heavier parts can change the vehicle's center of gravity on the lift    

resulting in a critical load shift. The vehicle may then be    unstable. Plan ahead for this          
possibility to insure continued safety and refer to the vehicle manufacturers’ service manual for 
recommended procedures. 

· Always keep the lift area free of obstructions and debris.  

· Never raise a vehicle with passengers inside. Before lowering a vehicle, check the lift and lift 

area and remove all obstructions. Before removing vehicle from the lift or lift area, position 
arms to the drive through position and confirm an unobstructed exit. 

· Use of jack stands or other load supporting devices will help in preventing load shifts.         

Manufacturer recommends that jack stand or other load supporting devices are used at all times 
for additional security. 

· Make sure the vehicles center of gravity is always safe before raising vehicle. Any points of    

contact on vehicle that are not in good contact with lifting pads or contact with lift should    
always be double checked. Always make sure the vehicle is secure before lifting using vehicle 
manufacturers’ recommended  lifting points. 

· Do not rock the vehicle while on working on or around lift. 
· Do not remove any heavy component from vehicle that may cause excessive weight shift. 
· Verify that all safety latches are engaged and lowered on to the safety ladders before any     

attempt is made to work on or near vehicle. 

· NEVER override self-operating lift controls.  
· NEVER remove any safety related components parts from the lift. Does not use the lift if any 

safety related components parts are damaged or missing. 

· Pay attention when walking under a vehicle that is raised on the vehicle lift.
