MOBILE LIFT OPERATION
1. Perform Lift Setup as stated in previous section.
2. Disengage all E-STOP buttons at each post by turning them clockwise to release them. Turn on the main
switch for each post to “OPERATE LIFT”. The display will light up to indicate the post power is on.
Repeat for each post in the system. Notice that the displays will indicate which posts are communicating
in the system. Verify this configuration to continue operation. The system is now ready to operate.
3. SINGLE WHEEL OPERATION
Go to each wheel and engage each tire with the forks. To raise only a single wheel, turn the selector
switch to SINGLE at the post that control is desired, while pressing the RAISE button. The SINGLE
operation is to be used only to initially engage the tires and for slight equalization adjustments.
During lift operation, if single wheel lifting, lowering or parking is desired, turn the selector switch to
SINGLE at the post that control is desired, while pressing the RAISE button.
BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN DOING THIS OPERATION THAT THE VEHICLE REMAINS
STABLE AND THAT THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE DOES NOT COME IN CONTACT WITH THE
COLUMN.
NOTE: If the SINGLE switch is released while the UP or DOWN button is still pressed the hoist will
operate in default ALL synchronized mode (All posts will be controlled).
4. RAISING ALL WHEELS
The lift controls default to controlling ALL the columns in the system (selector switch is spring returned
to ALL). Press the RAISE button to raise the lift. Keep the pressure on the button until the vehicle is
raised to the desired position. If necessary, use a second person to observe the area not seen by the
operator.
5. PARKING ALL WHEELS (ON MECHANICAL LOCKS)
The lift controls default to controlling ALL the columns in the system. Press the PARK button to lower
the lift onto the mechanical locks. Keep the pressure on the button until the vehicle is completely
lowered onto the locks. If necessary, use a second person to observe the area not seen by the operator.
6. LOWERING ALL WHEELS
The lift controls default to controlling ALL the columns in the system. Press the LOWER button to
lower the lift. Keep the pressure on the button until the vehicle is lowered to the desired position. If
necessary, use a second person to observe the area not seen by the operator.
NOTE: If lift is in park position (on mechanical locks), you will have to raise lift off of locks first, then
lower. Lift will not automatically rise off of locks when pressing lower.
NOTE: IF FOR ANY REASON, THE LIFT BECOMES INOPERATIVE IN THE RAISED
POSITION WITH A VEHICLE ON IT, CONTACT YOUR LOCAL MOHAWK
REPRESENTATIVE OR THE MOHAWK FACTORY.
