2. Test the power unit by pressing the push-button switch. Raise the lift a few inches and check all hose connections for
leaks. If the motor gets hot or sounds peculiar, stop and check all electrical connections.
3. Raise the lift to it’s maximum height o󰀨 the oor until the lift head stops.
4. Lower the lift down below the rst safety stop.
