Use and Care Manual

HD-9 Series Four-Post Lifts 67 P/N 5900123 — Rev. M1 — March 2020
Final Checklist
Make sure these things have been done before putting the Lift into service:
• Review the Installation Checklist to make sure all steps have been performed.
• Make sure the Power Unit is getting power from the power source.
• Check the Hydraulic Fluid Reservoir on the Power Unit; it must be full of approved Hydraulic Fluid
or automatic transmission fluid.
You can damage the motor by running it without
enough fluid.
• Check the Hydraulic System for leaks.
• Make sure all four Posts are properly anchored, shimmed, level, and stable.
• Make sure all Cables are properly seated in their Sheaves.
• Make sure all Safety Locks are operating normally.
• Make sure the backup Slack Safety Locks are
not engaged.
• Make sure a copy of the Installation and Operation Manual is left with the Lift.
• If it has not been done already, perform an Operational Test of the Lift with a typical Vehicle. Refer
to Test the Lift.
Outdoor usage
Your Lift is designed for indoor use, but if you decide to use it outside, here’s what you should know:
• You may void your warranty. Damages to the Motor or rusted components on the Lift caused
by outdoor elements are not covered by warranty.
• Cover the Lift. Use a canopy or something similar to block the Lift from the sun and any
precipitation, reducing the impact from it being outside.
• Protect the Power Unit.
This one is really important . The Power Unit has an electric
motor, so if that motor gets wets, it is possible for someone to get electrocuted, a fire can start,
and most certainly the motor will short circuit and stop functioning. These things are not covered
by the warranty. Always keep the Power Unit and all wiring covered, clean, and dry.
• Increase the Maintenance. Placing your Lift outside subjects it to the outdoor elements like
wind, rain, dust, sunlight, snow, and other corrosive elements; you will need to double the
maintenance on your Lift to minimize the impact from it being outside. For example, if the
maintenance suggests doing something weekly, then do it 2-3 times a week.
• Increase the Replacement Parts. Everything on the Lift breaks down faster if the Lift is
outside, so be prepared to order replacement parts much sooner than with indoor Lifts.
