and Safety Decals on the lift. (These are sometimes included with the literature for application
after installation.)
2] Center the vehicle between the columns.
(DO NOT BACK VEHICLE ONTO LIFT.)
3] Adjust swing arms so that the vehicle is positioned with the center of gravity midway between
the pads. Always lift vehicles at the manufacturer’s recommended lifting points.
4] Use height adapters as needed. Never exceed 9” of pad height.
5] Press the button on the power unit to raise the lift until the pads touch the underside of the
vehicle. Re-check pad contact at lifting points; adjust as necessary. Make sure vehicle is secure.
6] Continue to raise the vehicle to the desired working height. Lower vehicle onto nearest carriage
safety lock before walking under the vehicle.

NEVER work beneath a vehicle without it resting securely on the carriage locks.
Ensure that the swing arm locks are engaged.
LOWERING A VEHICLE
