GENERAL
Your Pick Up Truck Lift has four extension settings for the EXTENDIBLE BOOM (#7). Each of
these extension settings has a weight limit that is clearly marked on the BOOM (#4). Do not
exceed these weight limits as it may cause damage to the PICK UP TRUCK LIFT and\or cause
bodily harm.
Prior to use, liberally grease the unit using the GREASE FITTING (#3) located on the BASE (#1).
Swivel the BASE on the POST (#2) 360º while greasing to ensure optimum lubrication.
Warning: When installing the Pick Up Truck Lift, please note that
the Base (#1) must be securely bolted to the frame of the truck;
bolting the truck lift to the bed of the truck wil not provide the
necessary support needed.
