INSTRUCTION
3-1 INSTRUCTION
Caution: Never operate lift while drop down
tables are in the down position. Return them to
the level position until safety lock is set.
STEP 1. Check product and bill of materials to
make certain all required parts are accounted
for and in good condition.
STEP 2. Unit should be placed on a concrete
surface free from as many defects as possible
to prevent unit from tipping or rocking. Place
unit in the area intended for use and adjust
leveling feet to make certain that unit is level
and stable. Unit should be in close proximity to
110 volt electrical outlet.
STEP 3. Raise lift to first locking stop (16in).
Attach hose to lift using supplied fittings, hose
should run along the inside of bumper stop
of lift so that it will not be pinched when lift is in
down position.
STEP 4. Pump Installation procedure.
Carefully unpack pump from shipping box and
check for damage. Connect one end of
hydraulic line (supplied) to pump body. Fill
reservoir with appropriate hydraulic fluid. (Total
capacity is about 1 gallon) Attach the other end
of the hydraulic line to the ram. Plug pump into
110 ACV outlet, press start button to prime
pump mechanism. Hold button until lift is in the
fully raised position. (This may take several
moments) Disengage the safety mechanism on
lift and slowly relieve pressure from pump by
pushing the release bar. As pump lowers air
will be bled out of the hydraulic ram and
passed out the reservoir breather. (Repeat
process several times to insure proper
bleeding of ram and hose)
STEP 5. Raise lift to comfortable working
height (approx 35 inches) to make certain that
drop down tables (front and rear) operate
smoothly. Slide catches off of retention bolts
and the tables will drop down, make certain to
hold onto the table and not let it fall freely.
STEP 6. Loosely attach vice rails in the
appropriate holes in deck of lift, slide
vice into rails and make certain there is
clearance to allow a smooth
sliding motion. Tighten rails to deck and
recheck sliding of clamp.
Tighten pinch bolts to hold vice to deck of lift.
STEP 7. Attach ramp to rear of lift while in
down position.
Caution: Do not leave ramp attached to lift
while in operation or in up
position.
STEP 8. Always use tie downs to secure
vehicle to lift while operating.
STEP 9. If applicable, attach side extensions,
as needed using the supplied
hardware.
Caution: Do not leave ramps for the
extensions attached while in operation
or in the up position.
Notes: Be aware of all marked pinch points.
Lubricate all points at least 3 times a year or
more depending on frequency of use.
