Lifting Multiple Vehicles
11. Lifting Multiple Vehicles in the
Same Work Area
11.1 Adjusting lift communication frequency
If you have 4 or more lift units in the same work area, it is
possible to use them for separate lifting applications (e.g.,
lifting two different vehicles at the same time). Each set of
lift units designated to work together to lift a particular
vehicle is considered a lift system. Different lift units could
be used in different lift systems at different times. For
example, two units may be used as a lift system to raise
the front end of a vehicle one day and those same two lift
units might be used as part of a 4- unit lift system on
another day. When using multiple lift systems in the same
work area
:
1.
Identify the lift units to be used together in the lift
system
.
2.
Before raising the vehicle, make sure each lift unit in the
lift system is fully lowered and the master on/off switch
is turned to the
OFF
position. This will ensure that the
lift system will know exactly how many lift units’ part of
the lift system and they are will all be prepared to work
together
.
Failure to turn the master on/off switch to the
OFF
position could cause individual lift units to retain
incorrect settings from previous lifts or to retain
incorrect information from their use in previous lift
systems
.
3.
During the control box initialization (see Section 8.4)
make sure to select the same radio setting for all lift
units in the system. Also, check the radio settings of all
other lift units in the work area that are not part of the
current lift system to make sure that no other lift
systems (or any other individual lift units) are using the
same setting
.
4.
More than one lift system can operate on the same
frequency as long as each system uses a different
channel. Once a frequency is found that allows for
operation with minimal signal loss faults, it is
recommended to use the same frequency but different
channels for all systems
.
NOTE
:
The wireless feature complies with Part 90 of the
FCC Rules. Operation is registration-free and there are no
licensing requirements for the end user
.
12. Adjusting Carriage Width
12.1 Standard width models
The width of the carriage lift arms on the standard width
models can be adjusted to fit a wide range of vehicles and
tires. The width of the carriage lift arms is adjusted by
positioning the lift arms in the series of notches on the front
of the lift carriage. The width of the carriage lift arms must
be adjusted as close as possible to the tread on the tire
while remaining centered on the lift carriage
.
The lift arms must always be positioned so they are
centered on the lift carriage. Positioning the lift arms in
an off-center position can cause dangerous side
loading of the lift unit
.
12.2 Wide model
The wide model features a patented carriage width
adjustment mechanism that allows the width of the
carriage lift arms to be adjusted to fit a wide range of
vehicles and tires. The width of the carriage lift arms is
adjusted by turning either end of the carriage adjustment
screw (Fig. 18). Each end of the carriage adjustment screw
is hex shaped so a 1/2” wrench or socket can be used to
turn it
.
Never use an air impact wrench to adjust the width of
the carriage lift arms. Use of an air impact wrench may
cause damage to the adjustment mechanism that must
be repaired before continuing service. Only use a
wrench or hand ratchet to make adjustments
.
As either end of the carriage adjustment screw is turned,
both carriage lift arms move in or out from the center of
the carriage. The synchronized movement of the lift arms
ensures that the load stays centered on the carriage and
prevents dangerous side loading of the lift unit. The lift
arms must be adjusted inward until the lift pads are within
1 inch (25.4 mm) of the tread on the tire
.
