Operation
This section describes how to operate your Lift.
⚠ DANGER Automotive Lifts are dangerous when used by inexperienced, impaired, or
distracted operators. When you even hear the words “automotive lift,” your brain
should automatically register the fact that lifting a Vehicle is a serious endeavor with
life-threatening risks, especially if mandatory lifting precautions are ignored.
Lift Operation Safety Rules
Important: Your safety is dependent on reading, understanding, and implementing these Safety
Rules.
Do not skip over them; read them carefully and follow them!
Do the following before you raise or lower a Vehicle using your Lift:
• Check the Lift. Check the Lift for any missing, heavily worn, or damaged parts. Do not operate
the Lift if you find any issues; instead, take it out of service, contact your dealer, email
[e-mail] or call [phone].
• Check the area. Keep the area around the Lift clean and free of obstructions; anything that
could cause a problem for the Lift. Do not forget to check
above the Lift. If you find an
obstruction, move it out of the way.
Do not allow any people or animals within 30 feet
of the Lift while it is being used
.
• Check the operators. Make sure everyone who is going to operate the Lift has been trained in
its use, has read the labels on the unit, and has read the manual. Only the operator at the controls
should be within 30 feet of the Lift when it is being used. Do not allow children to operate the Lift.
Do not allow anyone under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication to operate the Lift.
• Check for safety. Make sure everyone who is going to be walking near the Lift is aware of its
presence and takes appropriate safety measures. Only put Vehicles on the Lift Arms.
When
raising a Vehicle on the Lift, do not leave it until it is engaged on its Safety
Locks
. When lowering the Lift, do not leave it until it is on the ground.
• Check the Vehicle. Never exceed the Lift’s weight rating. Do not allow people inside a Vehicle
you are going to raise. Make sure the Vehicle is not overbalanced on either end. Make sure you
know the manufacturer’s recommended Lifting Points for the Vehicle. Never raise just one side,
one corner, or one end of a Vehicle.
