LIFT OPERATION SAFETY (CONT’D)
TO RAISE THE LIFT
1. Before Loading: Lift must be fully lowered and service
bay clear of all personnel before the vehicle is brought on
lift with the swing arms set to the full drive-thru position.
2. Loading: Swing arms under vehicle and position
adapters at vehicle manufacturer’s recommended lift
points. Use height extenders or optional frame-cradle
adapters when necessary to ensure good contact.
(See Fig 19.2 - 19.3)
3. Some vehicles may have the manufacturer’s Service
Garage Lift Point locations identified by triangle shape
marks on the undercarriage (reference ANSI/SAE J2184-
1992). Also, there may be a label located on the right front
door jamb area showing specific vehicle lift points.
4. Position vehicle for proper weight distribution arms
under vehicle to allow adapters to contact at the
manufacturer’s recommended pick up points.
5. If the specific vehicle lift points are not identified, refer
to the VEHICLE CENTER OF BALANCE instructions
found on our website at:

6. Push the Raise Button to rotate the control switch on
the Power Unit.
7. Stop before making contact with vehicle. Check arm
restraint pins for engagement. If required, slightly move
arm to allow restraint gear and pawl to mesh.

hammer arm restraint pin down as this will damage the
restraint gear teeth.
8. Raise vehicle until tires clear the floor.
9. Stop and check adapters for secure contact at vehicle
manufacturer’s recommended lift points.
10. Continue to raise to desired height only if vehicle is
secure on lift.
