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 onto the 12000F.
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.

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.
Press the up button enough to allow the safety locks to be
disengaged. Pull both latch releases Fig. 2 to release the safety
locks.
WARNING: ALWAYS RELEASE BOTH SIDES.
