Air Filter Regulator reduce the air pressure of the
air supplied to the Air Filter Regulator to appropriate
pressure levels, and drain water in the air. Air pressure
gauge shows the air pressure after depressurization.
① Verify that the air pressure supplied to the
Air Filter Regulator is more than 0.5 Mpa
② Loosen the screw on top of the Air Filter
Regulator.
③ Look at and check the air pressure gauge while
turning the pressure adjustment knob to set the
air pressure to 0.5 Mpa.

*The appropriate value of the pressure of air (primary side pressure) supplied to the filter
regulator is between 0.5 and 1.0 MPa. The filter regulator may be damaged if the pressure
is greater than 1.0 MPa.
* Always make sure that the air pressure gauge is pointing 0.5 MPa before operating lift.
The lift may malfunction if the pressure is under 0.5 MPa. Furthermore, the Selex valve
may be damaged if the pressure is over 0.5 MPa. Always set the pressure to 0.5 MPa.

b. Lift is reaching the top
c. Excessive high pressure in hydraulic line
It is installed inside Sub Plate.
It would sense the excessive electric current,
and shut off the electric circuit and protect

･Lift (Supporter) must be lowered fully before vehicle enters
･Make sure to park the vehicle so that CG of the vehicle stay within the range
shown in Yellow Color Arrow on the side of the Supporter. If not, vehicle may fall
due to the vibration during lift operation and vehicle servicing.
Caution
Supporter
CG Label
･Support vehicle on lifting points which are designated by vehicle manufacturer.
DO NOT lift up vehicle on other points, or vehicle could be deformed or fall down.
DO NOT lift up vehicle if lifting point of the vehicle is not clear.
Warning
･DO NOT put any other supporter but genuine Side Sill Block between Supporter
and vehicle lifting point.
･If try to lift up vehicle (load) by only one side Supporter at around 30mm height
from floor, lift may lower. Pay close attention so that hands and fingers etc.
should not be pinched in the gap between Base and Supporter.
･The mud guard may hit the Supporter of the lift when vehicle entering if the
vehicle minimum height is low like sport car which please note. For those low
profile vehicle, use optional Sub Step Ramp.
Caution

Side Sill Block
Put the Side Sill Block on the Supporter so that center of Side Sill Block stay
inside Double Scissors Link before lifting up. And for frontwards and backwards,
DO NOT put Side Sill Block off over the width of Side Sill Block.
→ Or Supporter would twist and result in unbalance between Right and Left side
Supporter, and damage vehicle or vehicle may fall down.
→ If the vehicle could not meet the required conditions, DO NOT lift up.

NEVER go and stand under the vehicle during lift operation.
Danger
･DO NOT lift vehicles with passengers, baggage or cargo etc. inside (on board).
･When operating the lift, NEVER look aside, and pay constant attention to the
area around the vehicle and the lift, or it could result in serious accident.
･DO NOT lift any vehicle exceeding the max lift capacity. Or it may damage the lift.
Warning
･Pay close attention on the unbalance between Right and Left side during
lifting and lowering operation. If unbalance occured, lift up to max height
without vehicle on the lift, and keep pushing "UP" button for 2～3 seconds to
synchronize. If lift became unbalanced extremely during lowering operation,
stop using the lift and contact lift supplier.
･DO NOT operate the lift with anything such as tools or parts left in the pit or
under the lift. Failure to comply may result in the failure of the lift or falling of
the vehicle.
･If there are other lifts installed in the same site, Pay attention not to operate
the control switch of other lifts.
･Lift up to the height Supporter is over 200mm high from lowest before
servicing vehicle. Lowering Stop Hook does not work below 200mm height.
Caution

NEVER go and stand under the vehicle during lift operation.
Danger
･DO NOT operate the lift with anything such as tools or parts left in the pit or under
the lift. Failure to comply may result in the failure of the lift or falling of the vehicle.
Caution
・Check and make sure the lift is lowered to the lowest. If the lift is left at midway,
it could result in damage to the lift and vehicle.
・If the Slide Supporter is not retracted (stored back), it could result in the
damage to the lift and vehicle.
Caution

Ask lift supplier for annual regular inspection besides above monthly regular inspection.
