5. Operating Instructions
Follow these general steps for safe operation of your APlusLift HW-4P11S car lift:
- Pre-Operation Check: Before each use, inspect the lift for any visible damage, leaks, or obstructions. Ensure all cables are intact and properly routed.
- Position Vehicle: Carefully drive the vehicle onto the runways, ensuring it is centered and within the lift's capacity.
- Raise Lift: Activate the hydraulic power unit to raise the lift. Monitor the vehicle as it ascends to ensure stability.
- Engage Safety Locks: Once the desired working height is reached, lower the lift slightly until the safety locks engage securely on all four posts. This transfers the load from the hydraulic system to the mechanical locks.
- Lower Lift: To lower the lift, first raise it slightly to disengage the safety locks. Then, activate the lowering mechanism while ensuring the area beneath the lift is clear.
- Post-Operation: Once the vehicle is off the lift, return the lift to its lowest position and turn off the power.
