Tire Stops
Tire Stops are put into place on the Front of the Lift. They prevent the tires of the Vehicle on the Lift
from going too far forward.
To install the Tire Stops:
1. Slide the bottom of the Tire Stop into place in the gap between the end of the Runway and the
Ramp Mount Piece.
2. Repeat Step 1 for the second Tire Stop.
Drip Trays
Drip Trays are black, plastic, freestanding trays that go between the two Runways and catch drips.
To use your Drip Trays, position them between the two Runways so that the Utility Rails hold them.
Remove them when you are done with them.
