Lifting a Vehicle
Be sure the adapters are in the lowered position and the arms are parked as seen in
Fig. 1
before attempting to drive on or off of the lift. Failure to do so may damage the
adapters or vehicle.
Adjust the adapters laterally and fore and aft to contact points of maximum stability in
accordance with the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended lifting points.
Remember that positioning the adapters to yield the widest and longest distances
between points of contact with the vehicle lifting points provides the maximum
stability.
Adapters may be used in lowered, intermediate or raised height positions as necessary
to clear mufflers, pipes, brake lines etc. To obtain maximum stability when adapters are
used at maximum height position, front and rear adapters should be rotated to oppose
each other.
To raise depress the run switch on the power unit and hold until the vehicles tires just
clear the floor.
STOP
and check adapters for proper contact of vehicle manufacturers
recommended lifting points and stability of the vehicle. Continue to raise the vehicle to
a few inches above the desired working height. Lower the lift by depressing the
lowering valve handle until the lock is engaged.
DO NOT
go under vehicle unless lock
is engaged and all four adapters are securely contacting the vehicle manufacturers
recommended lifting points.
Lowering a Vehicle
To lower, raise lift slightly and disengage lock by depressing lock release palm button.
Continue to hold lock release palm button and depress the lowering valve handle until
the lift is completely lowered. Return adapters to there lowest position and park the
swing arms to provide unobstructed exit of the vehicle.
