OPERATING PROCEDURE
Remove locking pin holding each leg in
the folded position. Fold the legs down
and re-insert locking pins through the leg
braces.
The central mast is the main load
supporting element.
Adjust the leveling feet at the end of each
leg so that the lift is vertically straight and
level. Make sure to eliminate any slack
between the legs and braces.
When used indoors, leveling feet should
be adjusted so that the central mast rests
solidly on the floor.
When used outdoors, leg feet MUST be
supported to prevent sinking that could
cause lift to tip. Plywood pads or other
solid material must be used to assist in
the leveling of the lift. Supports must be
stable.
Inspect the cable to make sure that none
of the wires are frayed or that the cable
itself has not been crushed.
Test the lift to see that no damage has
been incurred that would bind the moving
pieces of the system.
Be sure to secure the load to the lift with
proper hardware.
If
multiple
lifts
are
being
used
simultaneously, all lifts must be raised
evenly.
Three safety pins are provided for use
when raising and lowering the lift.
These must be used to insure safety in
the event of cable failure. As you raise
the lift, insert a safety pin into the first
hole in the 2” tube. Then insert a 2
nd
pin into the next hole down as it
becomes visible. When the 3
rd
hole
becomes available, remove the first
safety pin and insert it into the 3
rd
hole.
Continue to alternate pins through the
holes until the second stage begins to
rise. Leave a pin in the last hold of the
2” tube. Using the two remaining pins,
repeat the above procedure inserting
pins in the 3” tube for lifts above 12 ft.
To lower the system, follow the above
procedures in reverse order.
NOTE:
Make sure that the winch is
ratcheting as you turn the winch handle. If
this fails to happen, lower the lift slightly
and then raise it again until you hear it
click before releasing the handle. If this
occurs, the winch may need to be
adjusted internally.
WARNING: KEEP HANDS FREE OF
UPPER TUBES WHILE RAISING
AND LOWERING LIFT!
WARNING: FAILURE TO HAVE A
SUFFICIENT LOAD (50 LB. MIN)
CAN RESULT IN DAMAGE TO LIFT
MECHANISM.
DO NOT EXCEED RATED
CAPACITY OF 500 LBS.
