D4-9 / D4-9X Four-Post Lifts 14 P/N 5900251 — Rev. A— October 2020
Usable Area
The strength of the Runways is less in the middle, so you
must not
put the Wheels of a Vehicle you
are raising in this area. The same restriction applies to Rolling Jacks and Bottle-Jack Trays; they must
not
be used in this middle section of the Runways.
⚠ CAUTION Do not load Vehicles so the Wheels of the Vehicle are in the middle of the Runways
or use Rolling Jacks or Bottle-Jack Trays in that area.
This will not impact your use of the Lift in the vast majority of cases, as the length of the wheelbases of
the Vehicles you are raising put the Wheels in the Usable Areas.
