1. Carefully remove the crating and packing materials.
CAUTION! Be careful when cutting steel banding material
as items may become loose and fall causing personal harm
or injury.

2. Check the voltage, phase, and proper amperage require-
ments for the motor shown on the motor plate. Electrical
work should be performed only by a certified electrician.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read these safety instructions entirely. Do not attempt to install this lift if you have never been trained on

basic automotive lift installation procedures. Never attempt to lift components without proper lifting tools such as

forklift or cranes. Stay clear of any moving parts that may fall and cause injury. When using your garage equipment, basic

safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

INTRODUCTION

1.  Read and understand all instructions and all safety warn-
ings before operating lift.
2.   Care must be taken as burns can occur from touching hot
parts.
3.   Do not operate equipment with a damaged cord or if the
equipment has been dropped or damaged until it has been
examined by a qualified service person.
4.   If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a current
rating equal to or more than that of the equipment should be
used. Cords rated for less current than the equipment may
overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it
will not be tripped over or pulled.
5.   Always unplug equipment from electrical outlet when not in
use. Never use the cord to pull the plug from the outlet. Grasp
plug and pull to disconnect.
6.   To reduce the risk of fire, do not operate equipment in the
vicinity of open containers of flammable liquids (gasoline).
7.   Adequate ventilation should be provided when working on
operating internal combustion engines.
8.   Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body
away from moving parts. Keep feet clear of lift when lowering.
Avoid pinch points.
9.   DANGER! To reduce the risk of elec-
tric shock, do not use on wet surfaces or
expose to rain. The power unit used on
this lift contains high voltage. Disconnect
power at the receptacle or at the circuit
breaker switch before performing any elec-
trical repairs. Secure plug so that it cannot
be accidentally plugged in during service, or
mark circuit breaker switch so that it cannot
be accidentally switched on during service.
10.  Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufac-
turer’s recommended attachments.
11.  ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday eyeglasses
only have impact resistant lenses, they are not safety glasses.
12. Consider work environment. Keep work area clean.

Cluttered work areas invite injuries. Keep areas well lit.
13. Guard against electric shock. This lift must be grounded
while in use to protect operator from electric shock. Never
connect the green power cord wire to a live terminal. This is for

ground only.
14. Only trained operators should operate this lift. All non-
trained personnel should be kept away from the work area.
Never let non-trained personnel come in contact with, or oper-
ate lift.
15.  DO NOT override self-closing lift controls.
16.  Clear area if vehicle is in danger of falling.
17. ALWAYS make sure the safeties are engaged before
attempting to work on or near a vehicle.
18. WARNING! RISK OF EXPLOSION. This equipment has
internal arcing or sparking parts which should
not be exposed to flammable vapors. This
machine should not be located in a recessed
area or below floor level.
19. MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Keep lift clean
for better and safer performance. Follow manual for proper
lubrication and maintenance instructions. Keep control handles
and/or buttons dry, clean and free from grease and oil.
20. Check for damaged parts. Check for alignment of mov-
ing parts, breakage of parts or any condition that may affect
operation of lift. Do not use lift if any component is broken or
damaged.
21.  NEVER remove safety related components from the lift. Do
not use lift if safety related components are missing or dam-
aged.
22. STAY ALERT. Use common sense and watch what you
are doing. Remember, SAFETY FIRST.
23.  Installation of this lift requires lifting of very heavy com-
ponents. Be sure to use the correct lifting tools such as
forklifts or cranes to position components. Pay attention
to components position once components are lifted. Once
lifted, components are falling hazards. Failure to use the
correct lifting tools or to pay attention during lifting may
result in personal injury or death. A minimum of a two
person installation team is recommended for safe lifting
practices.
