IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using your garage equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including
the following:
1. Read all instructions
2. Do not operate equipment with a damaged cord or if equipment has been dropped or
damaged – until it has been examined by a qualified service person
3. Do not let a cord hang over the edge of the table, bench, or counter or come in contact
with hot manifolds or moving fan blades
4. Adequate ventilation should be provided when working on operating internal combustion
engines
5. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from moving parts
6. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use in wet locations or expose to rain
7. Use only as directed in this manual. Use only manufacturer’s recommended attachments
8. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses,
they are not safety glasses
Basic common sense safety precautions should always be followed when installing, operating and
maintaining the lift as a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury may be present.
In addition:
1. Only trained and authorized personnel should position a vehicle and operate the lift. Do
not allow customers or bystanders to operate the lift or be in the lift area.
2. Inspect the lift daily. Do not operate if potential problems have been identified or lift
malfunctions. Do not operate if lift has damaged or broken components. Never walk or
work under the lift unless all safety locks are completely engaged.
3. Never overload the lift. The rated capacity decal is located on the powerpack column. The
hydraulic system on this lift is not designed to be a load holding devise. Mechanical safety
locks must be engaged before proceeding under the lift, with vehicle servicing, or system
maintenance. Never override operating controls. This is unsafe and will void the warranty.
4. Before driving a vehicle between the columns, position all arms to insure unobstructed
entry. Do not hit or run over arms as this could damage the lift and/or vehicle.
5. Use all 4 arms to raise a vehicle. Position all lift pads to contact vehicle manufacturer's
recommended lifting points. Raise lift slowly until all pads contact the vehicle. Check all
pads for complete and secure contact with the vehicle. Check all arm restraints to insure
they are engaged properly. Check that vehicle is stable on the lift. Only after confirming
these procedures, raise the lift to desired working height.
6. Special care must be used when lifting pick-up trucks. Optional truck adapters may be
required to reach manufacturer recommended lifting points. Always use these lifting
points. Running boards and other installed accessories may also require optional adapters.
Insure contents of the cargo box will not affect vehicle balance while on the lift.
7. Important: Removal or installation of heavier parts can change the vehicle's center of
gravity on the lift resulting in a critical load shift. The vehicle may then be unstable. Plan
