Raising a Vehicle
This section describes how to raise a Vehicle on the Lift.
To raise a Vehicle:
1. Check the items listed in Safety Considerations.
If you find any issues, resolve them
before
raising the Vehicle;
only use the Lift if it can be
used safely
.
2. Make sure the Lift is fully lowered and the Lift Arms are out of the way.
3. Drive the Vehicle over the Lift and then stop.
4. Put the Vehicle in park, put on the parking brake, and turn off the Vehicle.
If the Vehicle is a manual transmission, put it into first gear before turning it off; you do not want the
Vehicle moving while it is raised.
5. Walk around the Vehicle and make sure there are no obstructions or any other issues that will
interfere with the raising the Lift.
6. Position the Lifting Arms on the manufacturer’s recommended Lifting Points of the Vehicle you are
raising.
If you are unsure where the Lifting Points are, consult Vehicle Lifting Points for Frame Engaging
Lifts, which is available on the ALI website (www.autolift.org/ali-store), or provided by the
manufacturer of the Vehicle.
7. Put the Lift Pads under the Vehicle so that they are
directly under
the Lifting Points for the
Vehicle you are raising.
If necessary, use the included Lift Pad Extensions for extra height.
8. On the front of the Power Unit, press and hold the Up Button to raise the Lift until
just before
the
Lifting Arms make contact with the Lifting Points.
9. Check to make sure the Lifting Arms will make solid contact with the Lifting Points when raised
further.
Adjust them if necessary.
10. Raise the Lift until the tires of the Vehicle are a few inches off the ground.
