OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Never operate the Lift if the Safety Lock Assembly is not working properly.
1. Plug the Power Cord of the Lift into a properly grounded, 3-hole, electrical receptacle or extension cord.
2. Squeeze and release the Lock Release Hand Lever several times and while doing so, observe that the
Safety Lock Assembly operates properly in response to the Hand Lever. Release pressure on the Hand
Lever to release Lock.
3. Press and hold the Power Unit Switch and observe that the Safety Lock Assembly "clicks” into place as
the Lift rises.
There are safety ‘catches’ on the Safety Lock Assembly as the Lift rises. Once the Safety
Lock Assembly locks into each of the safety catches, you must squeeze and hold the
Hand Lever to release the lock to lower the Lift.
4. Once the Lift is fully elevated, release pressure on the Power Unit, detailed in the next step.
5. Without squeezing the Hand Lever, press down on the Power Unit’s Lowering Valve Lever and hold.
Observe that the Lift will slightly lower to engage the next lowest Lock position.
If the Safety Lock Assembly does not properly engage the lock position, fully lower the
Lift and have a qualified service technician immediately repair the Safety Lock Assembly.
6. Should the Safety Lock Assembly not operate as described in step #5, raise the Lift slightly to take
pressure off the safety catches. Then, while squeezing the Hand Lever lower the Lift fully to the floor.
When working properly, you must BOTH squeeze in and hold the Lock Release Hand
Lever and press in and hold the Pressure Relief Valve Handle to lower the Lift.
Vehicle Positioning, Lifting & Lowering
1. Before driving a vehicle onto the Lift make sure that the Lift is fully lowered and position the Arms and
Pads are positioned inward.
2. Carefully drive vehicle over the Lift while keeping the vehicle parallel with the Lift, along with aligning
the (COG) center of gravity of the vehicle with the center of the Lift.
The “Center Of Gravity” (COG) of the vehicle is the balance point at which there is equal
vehicle weight placement for both ‘front to back’ and ‘side to side’. The COG is not
necessarily the dimensional center of the vehicle but is often slightly towards the engine
from the dimensional center of the vehicle.
3. Turn off vehicle's engine and engage the parking brake.
4. Read the vehicle owner's manual to identify the recommended vehicle lifting points.
