OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

To Raise, push the power switch button on the power unit and hold while it the electric motor turns

on. The motor operates an internal pump that forces hydraulic oil into the lift piston, which extends the

piston rod & roller chain to raise the lift (Fig 22).

As the lift rises, an internal safety latch will pass over the steel

latch stops (rectangular blocks which protrude from the back,

inside of the lift column), and you will hear “clanks” as it does so.

This sound is normal, and indicates that the safety latch is passing

over the latch stops properly.

The lift is raised to the desired height by holding the switch button

in while it is rising, and releasing the button when the lift has

reached its desired position.

For safety, it is required to release the hydraulic pressure inside

the cylinder to lower the lift to nearest lower latch stop. To do this,

simply press down the release handle on the power unit. Then, the

lifting frame and carriage’s safety latch will rest on the latch stop

inside the column (Fig 22).

To Lower, first you need to depress the power switch button a second or two to raise the lift up a

little. Then, pull the safety latch release cable to disengage the safety latch to fully lower. After that

press down the release handle again and hold (Fig. 23).

The weight of the vehicle will cause the lift to lower by gravity. No

power is required to be applied to the power unit while lowering, but

the safety latch must be disengaged to allow the lift to lower past the

latch stops.

After the installation is complete, raise the lift about two feet high

and then fully lower. Repeat this process two or three times and

check reservoir fluid level, while fully lowered. Only add hydraulic

fluid to the reservoir’s fill line, if necessary. This assures that

hydraulic oil is properly distributed throughout the hydraulic system.

Fig. 23

NOTE: Only add hydraulic fluid to the reservoir with the lift in the fully “down” position. If you

fill the reservoir in the “up” position and then lower the lift, there will be too much hydraulic oil

in the system, and will possibly squirt out of the reservoir tank.

Platform Adjustment:

To adjust the Platform levelness, adjust the 3ea bolts & nuts on the

underside of the Platform Frame (Fig. 24).
