Setup and Assembly
The APlusLift MT1500X lift table comes largely pre-assembled. Minor assembly is required for components such as the front extension plate, front wheel stop, and rear approach ramp. It is recommended to have two people for unpacking due to the unit's weight (550 pounds).
Unpacking and Initial Placement
Carefully uncrate the lift table. Due to its weight, ensure proper lifting techniques or use appropriate equipment. Position the main lift table on a flat, stable surface where it will be used.

Operating Instructions
Loading the Vehicle
Push the motorcycle or ATV onto the lift table via the rear approach ramp. Secure the front wheel using the front wheel vise and apply tie-downs to stabilize the vehicle on the platform.

Lifting the Vehicle
Connect an air compressor to the butterfly foot pedal. Press the front part of the foot pedal to add air pressure and raise the lift table. The lift can reach a maximum height of 33.5 inches. Once at the desired height, lower the safety lock bar into place and gently release air pressure with the pedal to ensure secure locking.

Using the Service Jack
The lift table includes a service jack for easy partial lifting of motorcycles, ATVs, and other small vehicles. This is useful for tasks requiring wheel removal or access to the underside of the vehicle.
Text Description: The included service jack, a scissor-style lift, is shown in its compact form. It is designed to provide additional lifting capability for specific parts of the vehicle on the main lift table.
Lowering the Vehicle
To lower the vehicle, ensure the area around the lift is clear. Press the rear part of the foot pedal to release air pressure, allowing the lift table to smoothly descend. Once fully lowered, remove the vehicle from the platform.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your APlusLift MT1500X. Periodically inspect all bolts, nuts, and moving parts for tightness and wear. Lubricate pivot points as needed.
Seal Replacement (Pneumatic Cylinder)
If the pneumatic cylinder begins to leak or lose pressure, the internal seals may need replacement. This process involves disassembling the cylinder, replacing the rubber gaskets and washers, and reassembling the unit.
Text Description: A detailed video demonstrating how to replace the seals in the pneumatic cylinder of a motorcycle lift table. It shows the steps for disassembly, replacing the rubber gaskets and bushings, and reassembly, ensuring proper function.
Troubleshooting
- Lift not raising: Check air compressor connection and pressure. Ensure the foot pedal is fully engaged. Inspect for any obstructions or leaks in the pneumatic system.
- Lift not lowering: Ensure the safety lock bar is disengaged. Check for any obstructions preventing descent.
- Unstable lift: Verify the lift is on a level surface. Ensure the vehicle is centered and properly secured with tie-downs and the front wheel vise.
- Air leaks: Inspect all pneumatic connections and the cylinder seals. Refer to the seal replacement section for guidance.
