includes _” added to the lowered height of the lift for leveling purposes (see Figure
8).
2. Fully lower the lift platform into the pit and check for proper height.
3. Shims and/or grout must be placed under the entire base frame assembly and the
platform support members to support the platform top at grade level. DO NOT “spot”
shim! Shims and/or grout must be able to support the lift base frame while loaded at
full rated lifting capacity and rollover load.

button for 30 to 40 seconds. Cycle the lift 10 to 15 times and repeat the process by
fully lowering the lift and holding the “DOWN” button 30 – 40 seconds.
2. Raise lift slightly to clear the maintenance locks.
3. Carefully loosen the bleeder screw plug at the top end of the ram casing to remove
trapped air from the ram.
