AIR HYDRAULIC MOTORCYCLE LIFT
1,000 LB. CAPACITY
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
1. When not in use, the lift must be stowed in the lowest
position in a dry location to minimize ram and piston
corrosion.
2. Keep the lift clean and wipe off any oil or grease.
Lubricate all moving parts.
3. Periodically check the ram and piston for signs of
corrosion. Clean exposed areas with a clean, oiled
cloth.
4. Before each use, check all parts. If any part of the lift is
damaged (or suspected to be damaged), remove the lift
from service and take necessary action to repair.
5. If the lift efficiency drops, purge air from the hydraulic
system by fully depressing the Release Pedal (10)
and actuating the air valve allowing it to pump for 20
seconds to eliminate any air in the hydraulic system.
6. Check the hydraulic oil level. If the oil level is low,
remove the filler plug on the pump and add hydraulic
oil as necessary. DO NOT use brake fluid or any other
improper fluid. Use only a high quality hydraulic jack oil.
To check the oil level, please use the following procedure
– it is recommended to have several people present to
perform this operation
1. Raise the platform to a working height. Carefully raise
the front of the lift while another person places a
sturdy 7" block under the base frame where the 2 front
casters are located.
CAUTION
: Be sure that the person assisting is clear of
the lift before lowering onto the block.
2. Lower the lift completely with the block underneath the
lift. By placing the block under the frame, the pump
should now be in a horizontal position as shown in
Figure 2.
3. Remove the Cover Plate (36) and then remove the Oil
Plug (P28 in Figure 1).
FIGURE 1
4. The oil level should be even with the top surface of the
cylinder (at horizontal position) right below the filler plug
hole. (Figure 2)
5. If the oil level is low, add quality hydraulic oil as
necessary to reach the top of the cylinder. DO NOT use
brake fluid.

DISPOSAL
At the end of the useful life of the motorcycle lift, dispose
of the components according to all local, state, and
federal regulations.
