OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (cont.)
frame. The lift can now be pumped up under the frame. There should be equal distance on both sides of a motorcycle as it is lined up with the lift rails. Since the lift
arcs when pumped, the lift operator must compensate for the arcing movement so the motorcycle is equally spaced on the lift rails when the lift rails come
in contact with the motorcycle frame. Once the lift rails make contact with the motorcycle frame, the motorcycle can be lifted very slowly while the first person
continues to hold the motorcycle in a vertical position. During this initial lift procedure, both people can determine whether the motorcycle is properly balanced. If it
is not, the motorcycle should be lowered to the ground and lift rails should be repositioned under the motorcycle until the center of balance is achieved. This initial
lift procedure must be repeated until the proper balance is achieved.
IMPORTANT: THE MOTORCYCLE MUST ALWAYS BE HELD IN AN UPRIGHT VERTICAL
POSITION BY ONE PERSON AT ALL TIMES DURING THIS INITIAL LIFT PROCEDURE.
3. Once the center of balance point is achieved, the motorcycle may be lifted to its desired work height. The lift operator can now secure the ATV/motorcycle to the
lift by using nylon motorcycle tie down straps. There are tie down loops fore and aft of the two lift pads. The higher the straps are positioned on the motorcycle, the
more stability is achieved. After the two tie down straps are connected to the motorcycle frame and to the tie down loops on the lift pads, make sure to tighten each
strap while maintaining the upright vertical position of the ATV/motorcycle.
LOWERING A MOTORCYCLE OR ATV:
1. Make sure ATV/motorcycle is properly balanced on lift before removing any additional support equipment.
2. Have one person grab the handle bars of the ATV/motorcycle in preparation for its lowering and eventual removal from the lift.
3. Follow step 3 under GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS to lower the load.
4. While one person is still stabilizing the motorcycle in a vertical position, the other person should remove the tie downs from the motorcycle and tie down loops on
the lift pads. The motorcycle's kickstand should be pointed down and ready to make contact with the ground. After the tie downs are removed, lower the motorcycle
all the way to the ground so the lift pads clear the ATV/motorcycle frame.
5. Slide the lift out from underneath the ATV/motorcycle.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
This is the safety alert symbol used for the PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE section of this manual to alert you to potential personal
injury hazards. Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury or death.
1. Always store the lift in a well protected area where it will not be exposed to inclement weather, corrosive vapors, abrasive dust, or any other harmful elements. The
jack must be cleaned of water, snow, sand, grit, oil, grease or other foreign matter before using.
2. Lubricate all moving parts and joints monthly with the exception of the hydraulic jack. Use a waterproof lubricating grease.
3. Visual inspection should be made before each use of the lift, checking for leaking hydraulic fluid and damaged, loose or missing parts. Each lift must be inspected
by a manufacturer’s repair facility immediately if subjected to an abnormal load or shock. Any lift which appears to be damaged in any way, is found to be badly
worn, or operates abnormally MUST BE REMOVED FROM SERVICE until necessary repairs are made by a manufacturer’s authorized repair facility. It is recommended
that an annual inspection of the lift be made by a manufacturer’s authorized repair facility and that any defective parts, decals or warning labels be replaced with
manufacturer’s specified parts. A list of authorized repair facilities is available from the manufacturer.
4. It should not be necessary to refill or top off the reservoir with hydraulic fluid unless there is an external leak. An external leak requires immediate repair which must
be performed in a dirt-free environment by an authorized service center.
5. Every jack owner is responsible for keeping the jack labels clean and readable. Use a mild soap solution to wash external surfaces of the jack but not any moving
hydraulic components.
