With a clean rag, wipe down both cylinder
rods. (The cylinders are shipped with a small
amount of clear anti-corosive lubricant that
will be forced out through the wiper when the
lift reaches full rise.) If lubricant is not
wiped clean from the cylinder rod, the
cylinder will apear to be leaking.
SYNCHRONIZING CABLES
47) Raise lift and insure carriages lower into
same lock position.
48) Adjust synchronizing cables so the tension is
equal in both cables and carriages are firmly
sitting on locks.

LIFTING A VEHICLE
1) Insure that the lifting arms are parked, out to
full drive thru position.
2) Position the vehicle in the service bay so that
the vehicle’s center of gravity is on a line
between the two columns, and so the vehicle
is centered between the two columns.
DO NOT EXCEED 2500 POUNDS PER ARM.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LIFT THE VEHICLE WITH
ONLY TWO ARMS,AS THIS WILL VOID THE

4) Raise the lift until all four wheels are off the
ground. Test the stability of the vehicle by
attempting to rock the vehicle. Check adapters
for secure contact with vehicle lift points. If the
vehicle seems unstable, lower the lift and
readjust the arms. If the vehicle is stable,
raise the vehicle to a height a few inches
above the desired working height.
5) Lower the vehicle until the safety latches on
both columns engage. The vehicle should
remain level when both latches are engaged.
If one side engages and the other continues to
descend, stop lowering the vehicle, raise it
several inches, and try again to engage both
latches.
Always lower lift into locks before entering
the area beneath the vehicle.
Always use safety stands when removing or
installing heavy components.
