and the platform rotated 45º from it's home position.
2. The ram and platform are then lowered slowly by pressing the “DOWN” button until
the platform rests safely on the floor above the pit opening.
WARNING!
To ensure a safe and stable descent, make sure all personnel and
equipment are clear of the unit as it is lowered.
3. Continue holding the “DOWN” button for 10 – 15 seconds after the platform comes
to rest on the floor to ensure that all hydraulic pressure in the system is removed.
4. Once the work is complete, raise the lift by pressing the “UP” button and lift the
platform three to four feet above floor level.
5. Rotate the platform back into the home position and reconnect the non-rotator pipe.

a pit that is a minimum of 24” – 36” deep. Press the “DOWN” button to bring the
platform to rest on these curbs, or other sturdy supports, onto all four corners of the
platform.
