Operation
This section describes how to operate your automotive Lift.
⚠ DANGER When you even hear the words “automotive lift,” your brain should automatically
remember that lifting a Vehicle is a serious endeavor with life-threatening risks.
Focus on what you are doing. Automotive Lifts are dangerous tools when used by
inexperienced or impaired operators.
Do not assume you are going to be
safe this time because nothing happened last time
.
Safety Considerations
⚠ WARNING Your safety is dependent on reading, understanding, and implementing these
Safety Rules.
Do not skip over them—read them carefully and follow
them; your life could literally depend on it!
Do the following
before you raise a Vehicle on your Lift every time:
• Check the Lift. Walk all the way around the Lift, checking for any missing, heavily worn, or
damaged parts. Do not operate the Lift if you find any issues; instead, take it out of service, then
contact your dealer, email [e-mail], or call [phone].
• Check the area. Keep the area around and under the Lift clean and free of obstructions;
anything that could cause a problem. Do not forget to check
above the Lift. If you find an
obstruction, move it out of the way. If you find any other issues, resolve them before using the Lift.
Do not allow any people or animals within 30 feet of the Lift while it is moving.
• 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 while it is moving.
Do not allow children to operate the Lift. Do not allow anyone under the influence of drugs, alcohol,
or medication to operate the Lift. Do not allow any unauthorized personnel to operate the Lift.
Operators should wear non-skid, steel toe footwear and safety glasses when operating 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 Runways.
When raising a Vehicle, do not leave it until it is engaged on 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 or either side.
