Raising and Lowering Vehicles
Keep the following in mind when operating your Lift:
• Be safe. Make sure to check for people, pets, and objects that might be in the path of the Lift as
you raise or lower it. If there is something in the way, stop the Lift and move it out of the way.
Watch the Lift carefully as it raises and lowers.
⚠ DANGER Pay careful attention when you are raising or lowering your Lift. If a person or pet
gets stuck under the Lift, they could be injured or, in rare cases, killed. If a problem
arises, either stop the Lift or get it back to the ground, whichever is safest.
• The Power Disconnect Switch is there for a reason. We hope you never have to use it,
but if something unexpected happens, use the Power Disconnect Switch to immediately stop
the Lift from moving.
• Get what you need out of the Vehicle before lifting it. It is annoying to raise a Vehicle
and then realize you left something inside.
Never raise your Lift with people or animals in
the Vehicle
.
• Make sure the Vehicle is balanced. If there is extra weight on one end or the other, remove
it or balance it before raising the Vehicle.
• Center the Vehicle’s wheels on the Runway. Centered wheels keep the Vehicle balanced.
To raise a Vehicle:
1. Make sure the Runways are on the ground. If they are not, move them down to the ground.
2. Drive a Vehicle onto the Runways.
Make sure all four wheels are fully on the Runways, as close to the center of the Runways as
possible.
Put the Vehicle into park and put on the parking brake. If it is a manual transmission, make sure it
is in a gear, not in neutral.
Chock the tires.
3. Press the Up button on the Power Unit.
The Runways begin to rise.
4. When the Runways get to the desired height, go up a little bit more, then release the Up button
and press and hold the Lowering Handle.
The Runways engage on the most recently passed Safety Locks.
How do you know if one of the four Safety Locks has, for some reason, not engaged? If this
happens, the non-engaged corner of the Lift will continue to go down, while the others stay where
they are. This results in a Runway that is not flat.
Always check to
make sure that all four Safety Locks are engaged at the same
height
before working under or near a raised vehicle.
⚠ WARNING Only leave your Lift either engaged on Safety Locks or fully lowered.
5. With the Runways engaged on the Safety Locks, check around the Vehicle to make sure
everything looks good.
If you see anything wrong, fix it before anyone gets near the Runways or goes under them.
