Raising the lift.
CAUTION: DO NOT insert any body parts (e.g., fingers,
arms, etc.) within the interior frame of the Lift while
raising or lowering the Lift.
5.5.1
With the motorcycle tied down securely on the lift, ensure that
the locking bar pin is removed (see fig.6B) so that the safety
locking bar is free to move. see fig.7 below.
5.5.2 there are three preset heights for the lift depending on which
stop the safety locking bar is engaged at (see fig.6). Pump
the foot pedal until the safety locking bar rides over the
chosen stop position and drops back onto the frame.
5.5.3 Now press the slow descent pedal (see fig.2B) to allow the lift
to drop slightly so that the safety locking bar is firmly up
against the chosen stop position.
5.6
Lowering the lift.
5.6.1
Pump the foot pedal to raise the lift slightly so that the safety
locking bar is no longer pressing against the stop.
5.6.2 raise the safety locking bar using lever 'c' in fig.6 and lock it
in place with the locking bar pin. (See fig.6B)
5.6.3
Before lowering the lift ensure that there is nothing within the
lift frame that could be damaged by the scissor action of the
descending lift.
Ensure that no body parts such as hands,
arms, legs or feet are within the interior frame of the lift.
5.6.4 to lower the lift operate the slow descent pedal and allow the
lift to settle to its lowest position in preparation for removing
the motorcycle.
5.7
Removing the motorcycle from the wheel chock.
5.7.1
With the tie-down straps removed, push down on the handle
bars of your motorcycle, slightly compressing the front
suspension of the motorcycle.
5.7.2
Pull up and back on the motorcycle handlebars.
5.7.3
Keeping your hands on the handlebar brake, squeeze the
motorcycle brake lever as the Wheel chock rotates
backwards. this freezes the front wheel of the motorcycle at
the "balance point" between the closed position and the open
position as the Wheel chock is rotating backwards.
5.7.4
Pull the motorcycle backwards again, releasing the
motorcycle handlebar brake lever. this will cause the Wheel
chock to rotate into the full open position and the front wheel
of the motorcycle to fall onto the main lift platform.
5.7.5 now you can roll the motorcycle off the lift.
5.8
Storing the lift vertically.
5.8.1 the lift can be stored vertically as
shown in fig.8 below.
o
WARNING: In this position the lift
is not free standing and must be
fixed to a wall with a heavy duty
cable or chain. Failure to
adequately secure the lift could
result in serious injury or death in
the event of the lift falling over.
5.8.2
With the lift in its lowest position
remove the ramp from the end of the
extended platform. Whilst the
platform is still extended remove the
pins from the 'u' shaped support on
the end of the extension and rotate it
through 180° so it is pointing
vertically upwards. use the two pins
to lock it in this position. remove the
two pins from the other end of the
extension and push the extension
back onto the main platform until it
lines up with another pair of holes in
the rails. Insert the two pins
through the rails to lock the extension piece in position.
5.8.3
The lift must be raised by two people
from the wheel chock
end of the platform. continue to raise the lift allowing it to
pivot on the wheels at the other end of the platform. As it
reaches the vertical position the weight of the lift will shift
from the wheels to the 'u' shaped support leaving the wheels
slightly off the ground. two people should continue to support
the lift whilst it is manoeuvred up against the wall. Whilst one
person continues to support the lift the other will secure it in
position with a heavy cable or chains and a suitable lock.
5.9
Putting the lift back down for use.
5.9.1
When returning the lift to the horizontal position, equal care is
required to avoid injury to persons.
At least two people should
be on hand to support the lift as it is put down for service.
When finally lowering the lift to the ground take hold of the
outer part of the cable tie down bars at the chock end of the
lift to avoid fingers being trapped under the wheel bars.
