Placing a Vehicle on the Blazer 9000
Note: It is critical that the operator positions the lift points per the vehicle manufacturers recommended
lift points. Some vehicle manufacturers have identified the proper lift points with triangular markings on
the undercarriage of the vehicle or have placed a label inside the front right door. If neither of these are
present, refer to the “ Lifting It Right ” Guides published by ALI or the “ Vehicle Lifting Points for
Frame Engaged Lifts ”, ALK/LP Guide.
1. The lift must be completely lowered before bringing the car over the lift. Install the rubber pads or
the lifting arms as required after the vehicle is centered over the lift and the vehicle lifting points
have been identified.
2. The lifting arms have extra height adapters that can be used depending on how high the vehicle
lifting point is from the top of the standard size lifting pad. The height adapters are 2-5/8” and 5”
and can be inserted into the adapter holes in the swing arms. Once the desired height is
determined, the standard lifting pad is set on the top height adapter.
3. To raise lift, press the green raise button on the power unit. When you get to the desired height,
lower until it rests on the safety lock by pressing the red lower button on the power unit. When
you are ready to lower the lift, raise the lift off of the safety locks and press the air release
button releasing the safeties. While holding down on the air release button, press the red lower
button on the power unit. Swing arms out from under the vehicle and place them out of the way.
4. Be sure that the vehicle is stable on the lift and neither front nor rear heavy. With some vehicles,
the removal (or installation) of components may cause a critical shift in the balance and result in
vehicle instability. Refer to the vehicle manufacturer’s service manual for recommended
procedures when performing these services.
5. Be sure that arm pads and any adapters used are in secure contact with frame at vehicle
manufacturer’s recommended lift points.
7. Passengers should not be allowed inside the vehicle when in operation. Prohibit non-authorized
personnel from being in service area while in use.
