Lifting Vehicles:
1. Check and correct the tire pressure in each tire.
2. Position each mobile column adjacent to each tire on the vehicle. If the vehicle has dual
rear axles position the mobile columns to use on the drive axle. Note: If an older vehicle
has air bag suspension on the non-drive axles and mobile column are not used, extra
support for the axles may be needed to prevent air bag damage. Consult with the vehicle
manufacturer to determine if the air bag suspension has mechanical stops.
3. Adjust the lifting arms so they are at the narrowest position that will allow the arms to
position under the tires. To adjust the arms lift and slide the arms inward as shown below.
4. After adjusting the lifting arms, raise the lift slightly using the jacking trolley and position
the lifts arms as far inward as possible. Notice the position of the column top in relationship
to external mirrors or vehicle body. Always maintain approx. 6 inches of clearance
between the column top and the vehicle. Lower the lift using the trolley hydraulic release
handle. Note: The lift will not operate when the columns until the column trolley is fully
lowered.
5. Connect all communication cables as show in Fig. 1 or Fig. 2.
6.
Turn the mode selection knob to “ALL” and turn the power control switch on the side of the
lift to “ON” on the master control panel and all slave control panels.
7.
Depress the “UP” button and all columns will rise approx. 6 inches and the lift will stop and
make an audible beeping sound. Release
the “UP” button and use this time to inspect all
of the columns to insure that the lifting arms are positioned properly.
8.
Depress the “UP” button again and raise the vehicle to the desired height
. Note: During the
raising process you may notice one or more columns stop lifting momentary, this occurs
when the lift control system is synchronizing each column to maintain level lifting. This is
normal.
9.
After reaching to the desired height, press the “LOCK” button. All lift columns will lower to
the first available safety lock position. When the lifts have settled onto the safety locks
release the “Lock” button. The lift is now safe and secured and ready for vehicle service.
10. To lower the lifts, check that all tools and equipment and has been removed from under
the vehicle. Press and hold the “UP” button for a few seconds to allow the lifts to raise 3-4
inches above the safety locks. Release the “UP” button and then press the “DOWN”
button. The lifts will lower slowly to the floor. At approx. 6 inches from the floor the lifts will
make an audible beeping sound. This is a safety reminder to double check that nothing in
under the tires or lifting arms. Double check the communication cables are also clear of
the lifting arms.
