Operation
8.3 Prepare the lift units
It is important to prepare the lift units so they can be
used safely together
.
1.
Make sure to use an appropriate number of lift units for
the type and weight of the vehicle to be lifted. Determine
how many lift units will be needed to raise the vehicle
by calculating the weight of the vehicle and the load
applied to each lift unit when the vehicle is raised. Never
exceed the rated capacity of an individual lift unit. Also,
the lift system is to be only used in sets where lift units
are positioned on opposite ends of the same axle–
Never as a single lift unit or on only one side of a vehicle
unless using Tire Mode as described in Tire Mode
section
.
2.
Before each use, you should inspect each lift unit for
any visible signs of wear or damage. See the “Structural
Inspection” section on page 27 for details about how to
inspect the lift unit
.
WARNING!
If you see any signs of wear or damage, or
if there is any indication that the lift unit is not
performing normally, immediately take it out of service
and contact the manufacturer. Never use a lift unit that
appears damaged in any way
.
3.
Before each use, plug in each lift unit and make sure the
battery charger indicator light is green for both batteries
on each lift unit (See “Charging the Battery” section). If
the light is not green, charge the battery until the battery
charger indicator light is green. Failure to fully charge
the battery before use can reduce the life of the battery
.
4.
Transport the lift units to the work area by wheeling
them manually or lifting and transporting them with a
forklift (See “Moving lift with a forklift section”). A lift unit
can be wheeled to the work area over smooth, level
surfaces for short distances. Transport the lift units by
forklift if traveling over longer distances and/or
rough/uneven surfaces
.
5.
Position the lift units at opposite ends of the same axle.
If necessary, adjust the carriage lift arms (See Carriage
width adjustment section) until they are wide enough to
allow the lift pads to clear the tire tread. Make sure the
lift pads cradle the tires evenly and are aligned with the
tire. Position the lift pads under the tire so the entire lift
pad is under the tire (Fig. 6). Lower the base to the
ground using the handle once the lift unit is properly
positioned
.
The carriage lift arms must be positioned so they are
centered on the lift carriage. Never use the lift unit with
the lift arms positioned in an off-center position since
this can cause dangerous side loading of the lift unit
.

parking brake
