OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS and LIFT MAINTENANCE
LIFT OPERATION: Before lifting a vehicle, insure all operators are qualified, have
been trained and are following all safety instructions.
Insure the vehicle is securely positioned on the lift
using manufacturer's recommended lifting points.
Insure all arm restraints are totally engaged.
Never allow anyone under the lift when raising or
lowering it with or without a vehicle. Always
confirm safety locks on both sides of the lift are
completely engaged before proceeding under a
vehicle.
Lift electrical operating controls are located on the
power pack (
one "up" button for raising the lift and one
"down" lever for lowering the lift) . Before lowering,
slightly raise the lifting and then pull the release cables under each carriage. Make certain the
safety locks do not accidentally re-engage while lift is being lowered. Customers and bystanders
should not be in the lift area.

vertical lock face plate of the front passenger side door. (ANSI/SAE J2184-OCT92)
