Operation
This section describes how to operate your Lift.
Safety Considerations
Do the following every time before you raise a Vehicle on your Lift:
• 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 in motion.
• 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 10 feet of the Lift when it is in motion.
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.
• 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 the Platform is engaged on a Safety Lock. 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. Double check you have everything you need out of the Vehicle before
raising the Lift. Make sure the Vehicle is not overbalanced on either end or either side.
