5. POSITIONING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Please review ALI safety card attached to tow cart and inspect lift
for mechanical fitness before using.
NOTE: Lifts must only be installed on “level” concrete floors, with a minimum
thickness of five (5) inches. Concrete must have a minimum strength of
4,000 psi, and should be aged 30 days prior to installation and use of the lift
in this area.
1. To move, insert the lifting tab of the Power Tow Cart to the lifting bracket on the
Mid-Rise. Tilt the cart back and move the Mid-Rise into position in the center of
the work area or bay.
2. Remove the Power Tow Cart from the lifting bracket of the Mid-Rise and roll the
cart to the front of the bay.
3. Plug the electric utility cord into an approved 110V outlet or an air line to the
optional Air Motor.
4. With the lifting arms in the stowed position, in line with the main frame, drive a
vehicle over the lift.
NOTE: When positioning a vehicle over the lift take time to equalize the load
front-to-rear and side-to-side.
NOTE: The Mid-Rise lift may be used as a frame contact lift or as a platform lift,
depending on the type of vehicle being worked on and the manufacturer
recommended lifting points for that vehicle.
NOTE: Obstructions hanging down from the vehicle may be damaged when lifting.
Always check between the vehicle and the contact points on the lift.
5. When in use as a frame contact lift, slide the lifting arms freely along the length
of the arm support to the desired position. The flip up lift pads have three (3)
positions, select and position as recommended to contact the correct lifting points
for this vehicle.
NOTE: Some pickup trucks may require an optional riser adapter to clear running boards
or other accessories.
When in use as a platform lift, move the lifting arms into the stowed position, in
line with the main frame. Position the four (4) rubber lifting blocks on top ramp
of the Mid-Rise.
