NOTE: It is normal for an empty lift to lower slowly
- it may be necessary to add weight.
6.2.3 LOWERING CONTROL
Press the up button enough to allow the safety locks to be disengaged.
Pull and hold down the safety lock release handle (Fig. 2) to release
the safety locks.
Warning: Always make sure both locks disengage
when lowering.
While engaging the safety lock release handle by pulling down, press
the lowering handle (Fig. 1) until the lift is completely lowered.
6.3 OPERATION
WARNING: FAILURE TO OPERATE THE LIFT ACCORDING TO THIS MANUAL
MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE LIFT, PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL
INJURY.
1. Before driving a vehicle onto the lift make sure the lift is fully lowered. Before driving a
vehicle onto the lift, position the lift arms outward. Do not hit or run over the lifting arms, as
this could damage the vehicle and/or lift. Make sure the lift is fully lowered before moving the
vehicle over the lift.
NOTE:
It is recommended to swing both arms outward pointing toward
the front of the lift prior to loading a vehicle into the 11000ACX.
2. Drive the vehicle over the lift while keeping the vehicle parallel with the lift and aligning
the center of gravity of the vehicle with the center of the lift.
NOTE:
The “Center of Gravity”
(COG) of the vehicle is the balance point at which there is equal weight in front of and behind
the COG, and equal weight on both sides of the COG. The COG is not necessarily the
dimensional center of the vehicle, but is often slightly toward the engine from the dimensional
center of the vehicle.
3. Turn off the vehicle’s engine and engage the parking brake of the vehicle.
4. Read the vehicles owner’s manual to identify the recommended vehicle lifting points.
5. Prepare the work area according to this manual. Move the lifting arms inward, and
position the rubber pads to contact with the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended lifting
points.
IMPORTANT: PLACE THE FOUR RUBBER PADS UNDER EDGE OF VEHICLE
AT THE FOUR JACK POINTS.
6. Once the lifting arms have been positioned under the vehicle lifting points, operate the
power switch to make contact and lift the vehicle slightly. Test to make sure the vehicle is well
balanced and the contact between the rubber pads and vehicle lifting points are secure by
performing the “BUMPER TEST.” (pg. 2) Then proceed to lift the vehicle to the desired height.
