not cover misuse, abuse, overloading, lack of maintenance, and inappropriate use or “normal wear

and tear”. Warranty parts must be returned to manufacturer for inspection to qualify for warranty.

working properly. If there is a dispute with the work being done the owner must advise our office

Lift Maintenance

Every lifting product will require ongoing adjustment and maintenance. It is normal that the lifting
cables will require adjustment to ensure that the lift operates level. Periodic adjustments are the

owner’s responsibility. If the owner requires the assistance of a lift technician, a service charge will

be paid directly for a service call. The lift is manufactured with a baked on power coat finish. It is
recommended to maintain this finish that scratches are periodically touched up with automotive
style paint. All non-painted services should be kept clean and lubricated to prevent rust or
corrosion.

Service Calls

Onsite service of your lifting product can be arranged by a qualified lift service technician. The

completed. It is the owner’s responsibility to return any parts to manufacturer for warranty

consideration.

IMPORTANT: It is the shop owner's responsibility to provide a satisfactory installation area for

the lift. Lifts should only be installed indoors on level concrete floors with a minimum of 4 inches
(102mm) and 3000 psi (20.7MPa) concrete that has been aged a minimum of 30 days. Please
consult a qualified individual if any doubt exists concerning proper installation and subsequent safe
operation of the lift. Do not install the lift on asphalt or outdoors.

Prior to installation, it is the shop owner's responsibility to provide constant electrical power in the
correct voltage, phase, etc., and all wiring for electrical hook-up of the lift. The shop owner must
insure that the electrical installation conforms to local building and safety codes. Where required,
the shop owner will provide an electrical isolation switch located in close proximity to the lift. This
switch will have an emergency stop capability and isolate electrical power from the lift for servicing
requirements.

It is the shop owner's responsibility to train all operators in lift

operation and safety.

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. To reduce risk of fire, do not operate equipment in the vicinity of open containers of

flammable liquids (gasoline)

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 on wet surfaces 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
