5. HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
- 6 -
1) Before positioning the lift, you should ensure the following:
a. Vehicle should be clear of all passengers. Transmission should be
in gear (or ‘Park’ for automatic transmissions) and the handbrake
applied.
If the vehicle has automatic stop/start or is electric only - ensure
the vehicle key is a safe distance from the vehicle to prevent it
activating by mistake.
b. To prevent the vehicle from movement, wheels should be securely
blocked with wheel chocks (Draper Stock No.54500) when possible.
2) Correct Positioning when using body lift plate:
The lift should be positioned either under the approved lifting points for the vehicle or around
the vehicle tyre, as instructed. Since these points may vary with each vehicle, it is important to
refer to the vehicle manufacture or Haynes workshop manuals.
Warning:
Ensure when using the lift with the wheel cradle, that this cannot come into contact
with the vehicle bodywork as the suspension compresses! Draper will accept no claims if the
bodywork is damaged due to incorrect application of the vehicle lift. If the wheel cradle is not
suitable - use the body lift plate.
This lift will not be applicable to all vehicles, and must be used very carefully on first
application to prevent damage to the vehicle and its bodywork.
4) Never exceed the lift’s Rated Capacity.
