Clear persons and objects from lift working area.
Ensure the lifting platforms are in the lowest position.
If surface mounted, ensure ramps are properly secured and suitable for driving.
Drive the vehicle over the lifting platforms (long axis). Make certain the vehicle is centered on the lift from side
to side. Determine the vehicles center of gravity and position it over the center of the lift scissors (slightly in
front of the center of the platforms).
The manufacturer’s service garage lift points may be marked on the
undercarriage of the vehicle with triangle shaped markings. If the lift
points are not marked on the vehicle, refer to the vehicle manufacturer
for the approved lift points.
The Center of Gravity must be located slightly towards the front of the
lifting platforms, positioned directly over the center of the scissors.
(Hose Side)
Secure the vehicle from rolling, put into gear, and apply the parking brake.
Check all the danger points of the lift to ensure that loose objects or people are clear from lift and working area.
6.2.
To Lift Vehicle
Position the high-density blocks under the pick-up points of the vehicle as described
by the vehicle manufacturer. If the platforms are positioned too wide apart to
contact a specific vehicle’s lifting points, use the Quick Lube HF arms to reach the
lifting points instead.
Be certain that no bystanders are in or around the vehicle before lifting.
Lift the handle directly upward and push it FORWARD (Fig. 1). Carefully watch the lift
until it contacts the vehicle’s pickup points. Release the handle.
Walk around the vehicle and assure that the vehicle’s lifting points are making full contact with the blocks/arms.
Continue to raise the vehicle.
Once the wheels clear the ground, ensure the vehicle is safely positioned by a generous shaking. If the vehicle
appears unstable, lower the vehicle, and reposition.
Raise the vehicle to the desired working height making certain that no bystanders are in or around the vehicle
during the entire process.
6.3.
To Lower and Unload Vehicle
Lift the handle directly upward and pull it BACKWARD to lower the vehicle. The further down the handle is
pulled, the faster the vehicle will descend.
Danger! The blocks must be positioned in a safe and secure
manner or the vehicle could slip and fall from the lift. Always
place blocks flat, not on the narrow edges.
Modified or specialty vehicles: Contact vehicle manufacturer to
determine if vehicle can be lifted on a hinged-pad frame
engaging lift.
Danger! When lowering the lift absolute care must be taken to
ensure that there are no objects or bystanders in the area in
which the lift and vehicle are to be lowered.
