INSTALLER / OPERATOR

PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

Personal protective equipment helps makes installation

and operation safer, however, it does not take the place

of safe operating practices. Always wear durable work

clothing during any installation and/or service activity.

Shop aprons or shop coats may also be worn, however

loose- tting clothing should be avoided.

Tight- tting leather gloves are recommended to protect

the technician’s hands when handling parts. Sturdy leath-

er steel-toe work shoes and oil resistant soles should be

used by all service personnel to help prevent injury during

typical installation and operation activities.

Eye protection is essential during installa-

tion and operation activities. Safety glass-

es with side shields, goggles, or face

shields are acceptable. Back belts provide

support during lifting activities and are

also helpful in providing worker protection.

Consideration should also be given to the use of hearing

protection if service activity is performed in an enclosed

area, or if noise levels are high.

LIFT OPERATION SAFETY (CONT’D)

Make sure vehicle is neither front nor rear heavy and select the proper con guration for the vehicle to be

lifted (symmetric/asymmetric) as shown below. Center of balance should be midway between adapters.

TO RAISE LIFT

 Read operating and safety manuals before using lift.

 Always lift a vehicle according to the manufacturers recommended lifting points.

 Position vehicle between posts.

 Adjust swing arms so that the vehicle is positioned with the center of gravity midway between pads.

 Use truck adapters as needed. Never exceed 9” of pad height.

 NEVER use lift pad assemblies without rubber slip over pads in place.

 Raise the vehicle by depressing button until the vehicle just lifts off the ground. Re-check to make sure

the vehicle is secure and all locking pins are lock in place.

 Raise vehicle to desired height. Lower vehicle onto nearest safety,

 Always ensure safeties are engaged before any attempt is made to work on or near vehicle.

TO LOWER THE LIFT

 First raise the lift to disengage the safeties.

 Release safeties by pushing on the safety handle.

 Be sure tool trays, stands or personnel are cleared from under the vehicle.

 Lower vehicle by activating lowering handle on power unit.

 Before removing vehicle from lift; position lift arms and supports to provide an unobstructed exit.

 NEVER, drive over lift arms.

REQUIRED MONTHLY MAINTENANCE

 Check all arm adjusting locks for proper operation.

 Check all cables connections, bolts and pins to insure proper mounting and torque.

 Visually inspect safeties for proper operation.

 Lubricate posts with grease.

 Inspect all anchors bolts and retighten if necessary.

 Check all posts for squareness and plumb.

 Inspect all pivot arms pins making sure they are properly secure.

 Check equalizer cable tension, and adjust if necessary.

 If lift is equipped with over head microswitch, check for proper operation.

1. WARNING!: If cement anchor bolts are loose or any component of the lift is found to be defective,

DO NOT USE THE LIFT!!

2. Never operate the lift with any person or equipment below the vehicle.

3. Never exceed the rated lift capacity.

4. Always ensure the safeties are engaged before any attempt is made to work on or near the vehicle.

5. Never leave lift in elevated position unless the safeties are engaged.

6. Do not permit electric motor to get wet! Motor damage caused by dampness is not covered under warranty.

NEVER LIFT ANY VEHICLE IN ANY MANNER WITH

LESS THAN ALL FOUR (4) ARMS. RATED CAPACITY OF

EACH LIFT ARM IS NO GREATER THAN ONE FOURTH

(1/4) OF THE OVERALL LIFT CAPACITY.

WIRE ROPE INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

 Lifting cables should be replaced every three -  ve years or when visible signs of damage are apparent. DO NOT

USE LIFT WITH DEFECTIVE / WORN CABLES.

 Lifting cables should be maintained in a well-lubricated condition at all times. Wire rope is only fully protected when

each wire strand is lubricated both internal and external. Excessive wear will shorten the life of the wire rope. The factory

suggested wire rope lubricant that penetrates to the core of the rope and provides long-term lubrication between each

individual strand is 90-WT gear oil or ALMASOL® Wire Rope Lubricant. In order to make sure that the inner layers of the rope

remain well lubricated, lubrication should be carried out at intervals not exceeding three months during operation.

 All sheaves and guide rollers in contact with the moving rope should be given regular visual checks for surface wear

and lubricated to make sure that they run freely. This operation should be carried out at appropriate intervals generally not

exceeding three months during operation. For all sheave axles, the factory recommends standard wheel bearing grease.

For all sheaves and/or guide rollers, the factory recommends 90-WT gear oil or similar heavy lubricant applied by any

method including pump / spray dispensing, brush, hand and/or swabbing.

HOW OFTEN TO INSPECT

Lifting cables should be visually inspected at least once each day when in use, as suggested by American Petroleum

Institute (API) RP54 guidelines.

Any lifting cables that have met the criteria for removal must be immediately replaced.

WHEN TO REPLACE LIFTING CABLES DUE TO BROKEN WIRES

Lifting cables should be removed from service when you see six randomly distributed broken wires within any one lay

length, or three broken wires in one strand within one lay length.

OTHER REASONS TO REPLACE LIFTING CABLES

Corrosion that pits the wires and/or connectors.

Evidence of kinking, crushing, cutting, bird-caging or a popped core.

Wear that exceeds 10% of a wire’s original diameter.

Evidence of heat damage.

HOW TO FIND BROKEN WIRES

 The  rst step is to relax your rope to a stationary position and move the pick-up points off the sheaves. Clean the

surface of the rope with a cloth — a wire brush, if necessary — so you can see any breaks.

Flex the rope to expose any broken wires hidden in the valleys between the strands.

 Visually check for any broken wires. One way to check for crown breaks is to run a cloth along the rope to check for

possible snags.

With an awl, probe between wires and strands and lift any wires that appear loose. Evidence of internal broken wires

may require a more extensive rope examination.

Safe Lift Operation

Automotive and truck lifts are critical to the operation and pro tability of your business. The safe use of this and other

lifts in your shop is critical in preventing employee injuries and damage to customer’s vehicles. By operating lifts safely

you can insure that your shop is pro table, productive and safe.

Safe operation of automotive lifts requires that only trained employees should be allowed to use the lift.

TRAINING SHOULD INCLUDE, BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

Proper positioning of the vehicle on the lift arms. (See manufacturers minimize wheel base loading requirements.)

Use of the operating controls.

Understanding the lift capacity.

Proper use of jack stands or other load supporting devices.

Proper use, understanding and visual identi cation of safety lock devices and their operation.

Reviewing the safety rules.

Proper housekeeping procedures (lift area should be free of grease, oil, tools, equipment, trash, and other debris).

A daily inspection of the lift should be completed prior to its use. Safety devices, operating controls, lift arms and

other critical parts should be inspected prior to using the lift.

All maintenance and repairs of the lift should be completed by following the manufacturer’s requirements. Lift repair

parts should meet or exceed OEM speci cations. Repairs should only be completed by a quali ed lift technician.

The vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations should be used for spotting and lifting the vehicle.

LIFT OPERATION / SAFETY

It is important that you know the load limit. Be careful that you do not overload the lift . If you are unsure what the

load limit is, check the data plate found on one of the lift columns or contact the manufacturer.

The center of gravity should be followed closely to what the manufacturer recommends.

Always make sure you have proper overhead clearance. Additionally, check that attachments, ( vehicle signs,

campers, antennas, etc.) are not in the way.

Be sure that prior to the vehicle being raised, the doors, trunk, and hood are closed securely.

Prior to being raised, make sure there is no one standing closer than six feet from the lift.

After positioning the vehicle on the lift runways, set the emergency brake, make sure the ignition is off, the doors are

closed, overhead obstructions are cleared, and the transmission is in neutral.

Double check that the automatic chock devices are in position and then when the lift is raised, observe the chocks.

Put pads or adapters in the right position under the contact points that have been recommended.

The lift should be raised just until the vehicle’s wheels are about one foot off the ground. If contact with the vehicle is

uneven or it appears that the vehicle is not sitting secure, carefully lower the lift and readjust.

Always consider potential problems that might cause a vehicle to slip, i.e., heavy cargo, undercoating, etc.

Pay attention when walking under a vehicle that is up on the hydraulic lift.

DO NOT leave the controls while the lift is still in motion.

DO NOT stand directly in front of the vehicle or in the bay when vehicle is being loaded or driven into position.

DO NOT go near vehicle or attempt to work on the vehicle when being raised or lowered.

 REMAIN CLEAR of lift when raising or lowering vehicle.

DO NOT rock the vehicle while on the lift or remove any heavy component from vehicle that may cause excessive

weight shift.

DO NOT lower the vehicle until people, materials, and tools are clear

ALWAYS ENSURE that the safeties are engaged and lowered on to the safeties before any attempt is made to

work on or near vehicle.

Some vehicle maintenance and repair activities may cause the vehicle to shift. Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines

when performing these operations. The use of jack stands or alternate lift points may be required when completing

some repairs.

READ AND UNDERSTAND all safety warning procedures before operating lift.

KEEP HANDS AND FEET CLEAR. Remove hands and feet from any moving parts. Keep feet clear of lift when lowering.

Avoid pinch points.

ONLY TRAINED OPERATORS should operate this lift. All non-trained personnel should be kept away from work area.

Never let non-trained personnel come in contact with, or operate lift.

USE LIFT CORRECTLY. Use lift in the proper manner. Never use lifting adapters other than what is approved by the

manufacturer.

DO NOT override self-closing lift controls.

CLEAR AREA if vehicle is on danger of falling.

STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Be aware.

CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Check for alignment of moving parts, breakage of parts or any condition that may

affect its operation. Do not use lift if any component is broken or damaged.

NEVER remove safety related components from the lift. Do not use lift if safety related components are damaged or

missing.

When the lift is being lowered, make sure everyone is standing at least six feet away.

Be sure there are no jacks, tools, equipment, left under the lift before lowering.

Always lower the vehicle down slowly and smoothly.
