AUTOMOTIVE LIFT SAFETY TIPS 
 

 

Never allow unauthorized persons to operate lift. Thoroughly train new employees in the use and care of lift. 

 

Caution - the power unit operates at high pressure. 

 

Remove passengers before raising vehicle. 

 

Prohibit unauthorized persons from being in shop area while lift is in use. 

 

Total lift capacity is 10,000 lbs. @ 2,500 lbs per lifting pad. Do not exceed maximum weight capacity of lift. 

 

 Prior to lifting vehicle, walk around the lift and check for any objects that might interfere with the operation of lift 

and safety latches; tools, air hoses, shop equipment. 

 

When approaching the lift with a vehicle, make sure to center the vehicle between the columns so that the tires will 

clear the swing arms easily. 

 

Slowly drive the vehicle between the columns. It is recommended to have someone outside the vehicle guide the 

driver. 

 

Always lift vehicle using all four pads. 

 

Never use lift to raise one end or side of vehicle. 

 

Always raise vehicle about 3

 and check stability by rocking vehicle. 

 

Prior to lowering vehicle, walk around the lift and check for any objects that might interfere with the operation of 

lift and safety latches; tools, air hoses, shop equipment. 

 

Always lower lift to the lock position before going under vehicle. 

 

Never allow anyone to go under the lift when raising or lowering. 

THE PROPER OPERATION OF THE LIFT REQUIRES THAT ANY TIME YOU RAISE A VEHICLE TO WORK ON IT. YOU 

MUST LOWER THE LIFT ONTO THE SAFETY LOCKS. This is done by raising the vehicle to the desired height and lowering 

the lift by pressing the lowering lever until the arms stop on the next available lock.  

NEVER WORK UNDER OR NEAR THIS LIFT WITHOUT THE LOCKS BEING ENGAGED. THE POWER UNIT IS NOT 

DESIGNED TO BE A LOADING-HOLDING DEVICE. NOT USING THE LOCKS WILL RESULT IN A PREMATURE 

FAILURE OF THE CYLINDERS, PUMP AND/OR CABLES AND CAN CAUSE SERIOUS PROPETTY DAMAGE OR 

PERSONAL INJURY! 

FAILURE TO HEED THIS WARNING WILL RESULT IN IMMEDIATE TERMINATION OF YOUR WARRANTY!
