Operation
7.3
Function and purpose of lift
This lift is designed to lift loads—it is not designed to
support loads once lifted. Thus, this lift must always be
used in conjunction with appropriate and adequate
vehicle support stands. Also, this lift is designed to lift
certain loads (e.g., vehicles, trailers) in specific ways
(one end and never on the side). NEVER attempt to use
this lift in ways for which it was not designed. If you have
lifting needs that cannot be met by this lift, do not
attempt to modify the lift or use it for purposes other
than those for which it was designed—always use a
lifting device that is appropriate for the load. Do not use
adapters and / or attachments from other units. Consult
parts list for adapters and/or attachments that can be
used on this product, not to exceed maximum lift height
of 50”. Contact the manufacturer if you have any
questions about other lifts or the appropriateness of this
lift for different types of jobs.
7.4
Moving and positioning the lift
The operator should move this lift only on a hard level
surface. When moving this lift around the shop floor, it
must never be moved in the raised position. When
moving the lift, the lift must always be in the lowest
position.
Use only the handles provided as the means by which
you grab the lift and move it. The lift should NEVER be
tilted backwards for any reason (i.e., to clear an obstacle
on the floor, to move under an elevated obstacle, etc.).
Tilting the lift can cause the lift to fall backwards onto
the operator or someone who might be nearby. If the lift
ever does fall, for whatever reason, get out of the way
immediately—NEVER try to catch the lift if it falls
backwards.
7.5
Adjusting saddle horn height
On occasion, it may be necessary to adjust the height of
the saddle horns in order to make good contact with the
lift points of the load (i.e., if there is a distance between
the saddle in the lowest position and the lift point on the
load). The height of the saddle horns can be adjusted by
removing the pin from the saddle, raising the saddle and
reinserting the pin into the hole. The pin should always
be placed all the way through the saddle arm support.
Also, both saddles must be pinned at the same height
when lifting a load. DO NOT make saddle height
adjustments if these conditions cannot be met. Follow
the safety instructions on the lift for positioning the
saddles on the lift.
7.6
Lowering the load
In lowering the load, follow steps one (1) through four (4)
as indicated on the Warning Decal. Once the saddles of
the lift have been positioned properly according to these
steps, raise the lift slowly to lift the load off the vehicle
support stands. Remove the vehicle support stands from
underneath the vehicle. Visually inspect the area beneath
the vehicle to ensure that it is free of any obstructions
before preparing to lower the vehicle to the ground.
Before operating the air valve (refer to the operating
instructions – “Operating the Air Valve” & Fig. 3), make
sure that no one else is in the immediate work area.
Disengage the down stop pawl by holding the air valve
and down stop lever until the lift can be removed from
under the vehicle. Air must bleed off for a few seconds
before the lift will start lowering. After lowering the load,
put the vehicle in park and engage the brakes before
removing the jack.
