OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Mounting Vehicle On Lift
1. Lower the jack completely. This should allow you to easily roll it
under the vehicle.
Note: Read your Vehicle Owner’s Manual to
determine the recommended lift points for your specific vehicle.
2. Make sure that your vehicle is properly balanced. Load saddle
platform equally.
Operating Lift
1. Make sure that vehicle is properly balanced on lift saddle platform.
2. While watching to make sure it is safe to do so, pump foot pedal
repeatedly to lift the vehicle to the desired height. Make sure the
vehicle is lifted high enough to engage the lock bar into its lock
bar detents.
3. Immediately after lifting vehicle, support the vehicle with tie down
straps. Attach your vehicle securely to the lift, using appropriate
straps (straps with 150% rated capacity of weight of load
recommended, straps not included).
Bolts
Lowering Vehicle
1. Be sure it is safe to lower your vehicle by clearing area of tools
and equipment. Make sure everyone is clear of the lift.
2. Raise the jack high enough to release the lock bar from its detent
and secure lock bar under holding cotter pin.
3. While watching to make sure it is safe to do so, hold foot pedal
down to lower the
vehicle to the ground.
Never work on the vehicle, or leave unattended if the lock bar is not in place, and if sufficient tie down
straps are not holding the vehicle firmly in place.
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
