2) Now you can safely raise the Lift using either a compressor or the hand
pump lever.
3) Close the Release Valve by turning the Release Valve Assembly to the
right one-quarter turn.
4) Hydraulic Operation - With Pump Handle securely inserted into the
Pump Handle Assembly, actuate the Internal Hydraulic Cylinder by
pumping the Pump Handle back and forth. For Air-Over-Hydraulic
operation, simply connect your compressor to the Lift and turn on the
air. If the lift does not rise, repeat step 3 above, by tightly closing the
Release Valve Assembly. Do NOT over-tighten the Release Valve
Assembly.
5) When the Lift is raised to the desired height, rotate the Locking Safety
Bar into place. Make sure the Locking Safety Bar is positioned directly
beneath the tabs on the underside of the Lift, because you are about to
lower the scissor assembly and lock the Lift in place by dropping it onto
the Locking Safety Bar.
6) Open the Release Valve Assembly by SLIGHTLY turning it to the left
one quarter turn, allowing the Jack to retract (lower) and the Lift to drop
onto the Locking Safety Bar.
7) If you inadvertently miss the height positioners on the scissor assembly
with the Locking Safety Bar, you must quickly close the Release Valve
Assembly by turning it to the right again. This will stop the Lift from
descending. If that happens, once the Release Valve Assembly is
closed once again, use the Pump Handle to raise the Lift and locate the
Locking Safety Bar under the teeth on the underside of the Scissor
mechanism and repeat step 6.
8) Once the Lift is raised to the desired height, rotate the Locking Safety
Bar into place and lower the Lift to firmly engage the Locking Safety
Bar.
9) From the handlebars of the motorcycle (if you have bar-style
handlebars) or from some other strong part of the front section of your
motorcycle, above the front suspension, secure the motorcycle to the
tie down loops on the ends of the Locking Safety Bar. Ratchet the Tie-
down straps securely so that the motorcycle suspension is compressed
to ensure stability.
10) The Lift is now locked in place and secure so that you can work on
your motorcycle
11) IMPORTANT - Maximum Height – It is possible to raise your Kendon
Stand-Up™ Bike Lift above the maximum operating height. This is
required so that the Locking Safety Bar can be rotated into place and
the Lift lowered upon it. DO NOT raise the Lift any higher than
absolutely necessary to clear the Locking Safety Bar. Once the Lift
clears the Locking Safety Bar, stop raising the Lift and drop the Lift
onto the Locking Safety Bar as described above.
