6. Setup
Before lifting any vehicle, proper setup is essential:
- Choose a Location: Select a flat, stable, and non-slip surface for operation.
- Position the Lift: Place the lift directly behind the vehicle's wheel that you intend to lift.
- Vehicle Preparation: Ensure the vehicle is turned off, the parking brake is engaged (if applicable), and the transmission is in neutral or park.
- Wheel Placement: Carefully roll the vehicle's wheel onto the anti-slip stop of the lift. Ensure the wheel is centered and firmly seated.
- Check Clearance: Verify that there is sufficient clearance around the vehicle and the lift for safe operation.
7. Operating Instructions
7.1. Lifting the Vehicle
- With the vehicle's wheel securely on the anti-slip stop, begin turning the crank handle clockwise.
- Continue turning the crank handle. The lift mechanism will engage, and the vehicle will begin to rise.
- Monitor the vehicle's stability throughout the lifting process.
- Once the desired height is reached (up to 35° tilt), insert the safety pin through the designated hole in the vertical support bar to lock the lift in position. This prevents accidental lowering.
- Before performing any work, gently shake the vehicle to confirm it is stable and securely supported by the lift and safety pin.
7.2. Lowering the Vehicle
- Ensure the area around the vehicle is clear.
- Remove the safety pin from the vertical support bar.
- Slowly turn the crank handle counter-clockwise. The vehicle will begin to lower gradually.
- Continue turning until the vehicle's wheel is fully on the ground.
- Once the vehicle is fully lowered, carefully roll it off the lift.
