3. Safety
3.1 Important notices
This ultra thin low lift is specially designed for lifting motor vehicles that weighs within its outmostlifting capacity.
Users are not allowed to use it for any other purposes. Otherwise, we, as well as oursales agency, will not bear any
responsibility for accidents or damages of the lift. Make sure to pay careful attention to the label of the lifting
capacity attached on the lift and never try to lift cars with itsweight beyond.
Read this manual carefully before operating the machine so as to avoid economic loss or personnel casualty
incurred by wrong operation. Without professional advice, users are not permitted to make any modification to
the control unit or whatever mechanical unit.
3.2 Qualified personnel
Only these qualified staff, who have been properly trained, can operate the lift.
Electrical connection must be done by a competent electrician.

4.2 Checking for room suitability
4.3 The lift has been designed to be used in covered and sheltered places
free of overhead obstructions.
The place of installation must not be next to washing areas, painting workbenches, solvent or varnish deposits.

12
The installation near to rooms, where a dangerous situation of explosion can occur, is strictly forbidden. The
relevant standards of the local Health and Safety at Work regulations, for instance, with respect to minimum
distance to wall or other equipment, escapes and the like, must be observed.
4.4 Lighting
Lighting must be carried out according to the effective regulations of the place of installation. All areas next to the
lift must be well and uniformly lit.
4.5 Floor requirement
The lift should be fixed on a smooth and solid concrete ground with its strength more than 3000psi, tolerance of
flatness less than 5mm and minimum thickness of 200mm. New concrete must be adequately cured by at least 28
days minimum.
Specifications of concrete must be adhered to. Failure to do so could cause lift failure resulting in personal injury
or death.
A level floor is suggested for proper installation. Small differences in floor slope may be compensated for by
proper shimming. Any major slope change will affect the level lifting performance. If a floor is of questionable
slope considering to pour the new concrete slab.
4.6 Site layout
Now locate the lift according to the floor plan the figure 3, use a carpenters chalk line to layout a grid for the
column locations.
After the column locations are properly marked, use a chalk or crayon to make an outline of the columns on the
floor at each location using the column base plates as a template.
Double check all dimensions and make sure that the bases of each column are square and aligned with the chalk
line.
4.7 Precautions for installation
Joints of oil hose must be firmly connected in order to avoid leakage.
All bolts should be firmly screwed up.
Do not place any vehicle on the lift in the case of trial running.
4.8 Equipment installation instructions
Step 1: Remove the packaging and take the mechanical and hydraulic assembly to the designated installing place.
Please do read and understand this manual thoroughly before next step.
Step 2：Connect the oil hose to the pump assembly with a proper wrench. (Make sure the hose end is clean).

13
Step3: Connect the wires of limit switch to the wiring terminals in the control box.Make sure to connect NO.1
wire with NO.1 terminal, NO.2 wire with NO.2 terminal and so forth.
Step4: Link the air hose to compressed air source. (This step is only for the type with pneumatic safety lock)
Step 5: Fix the base frame. (Optional )
This MSL 3 is portable. In other words users may use it without having it placed and fixed on the ground.
Nevertheless, if you want to have it fixed, do fix it on a smooth and solid concrete surface.
Step 6: Trial testing with load. (Do not use cars for trial testing)
Load applied shall not exceed 2500KG.
This step is of particular importance for it can check if the oil hose and air hose are well connected. Connections
are qualified when there is no abnormal sound or leakage after having been tested for 2 or 3 times.

5. Operation and use
5.1 Precautions
Check all the joints of oil hose. Only when there is no leakage, the lift can start work.
The lift, if its safety device malfunctions, shall not be used.
The machine shall not lift or lower an automobile if its center of gravity is not positioned midway of the rising
platforms Otherwise, the Friend as well as our dealers will not bear any responsibility for any consequence
resulted thereby.
Operators and other personnel concerned should stand in a safety area during lifting and lowering process.
When platforms rise to the desired height, switch off the power at once to prevent any wrong operation done by
unconcerned people.
Make sure the safety lock of the lift is engaged before start working under the vehicle and no people under the
vehicle during lifting and lowering process.

7.1 Daily checking items before operation
The user must perform daily check. Daily check of safety lock system is very important –the discovery of
device failure before action could save your time and prevent you from great loss, injury or casualty.
Before operation, judge whether the safety lock is engaged by sound.
Check whether oil hose well connected and whether it leaks or not.
Check the electrical system.
Check whether plug bolts firmly screwed.
Check if safety teeth and safety block matched well or not.
7.2 Weekly checking items
Check the flexibility of moving parts.
Check the working conditions of safety parts.
Check the amount of oil left in the oil tank. Oil is enough if the platforms can be raised to highest position.
Otherwise, oil is insufficient.
Check whether plug bolts firmly screwed.
7.3 Monthly checking items
Check whether plug bolts firmly screwed.
Check the tightness of the hydraulic system and screw firm the joints if it leaks.
