Safety Instructions
1. Always work on the vehicle with the lift on the safety locks.
2. Never allow unauthorized or non-trained personnel to operate lift. Thoroughly train new employees
in the use, care and safe operation of the lift.
3. Always lift the vehicle with four points of contact using either the lift frame, rubber pads or lifting arm
pads. Ensure that the four points of contact will not shift during operation.
4. Never use the lift to raise only one end or one side of the vehicle.
5. Always keep hands and feet clear of the lift when raising or lowering.
6. Keep area clean of tools, debris, grease and oil. Keep water from gathering on lift base.
7. Passengers should not be allowed inside the vehicle when in operation. Prohibit non-authorized
personnel from being in service area while in use.
8. Capacity of the Blazer 9000 is 9000 lbs. Do not exceed the 9000 lb. capacity.
Placing a Vehicle on the Blazer 9000
Note: It is critical that the operator positions the lift points per the vehicle manufacturers recommended
lift points. Some vehicle manufacturers have identified the proper lift points with triangular markings on
the undercarriage of the vehicle or have placed a label inside the front right door. If neither of these are
present, refer to the “Lifting It Right” Guides published by ALI or the “Vehicle Lifting Points for
Frame Engaged Lifts”, ALK/LP Guide.
1. The lift must be completely lowered before bringing the car over the lift. Install the rubber pads or
the lifting arms as required after the vehicle is centered over the lift and the vehicle lifting points
have been identified.
2. The lifting arms have extra height adapters that can be used depending on how high the vehicle
lifting point is from the top of the standard size lifting pad. The height adapters are 2-5/8” and 5”
and can be inserted into the adapter holes in the swing arms. Once the desired height is
determined, the standard lifting pad is set on the top height adapter.
3. To raise lift, press the green raise button on the power unit. When you get to the desired height,
lower until it rests on the safety lock by pressing the red lower button on the power unit. When
you are ready to lower the lift, raise the lift off of the safety locks and press the air release
button releasing the safeties. While holding down on the air release button, press the red lower
button on the power unit. Swing arms out from under the vehicle and place them out of the way.
4. Be sure that the vehicle is stable on the lift and neither front nor rear heavy. With some vehicles,
the removal (or installation) of components may cause a critical shift in the balance and result in
vehicle instability. Refer to the vehicle manufacturer’s service manual for recommended
procedures when performing these services.
5. Be sure that arm pads and any adapters used are in secure contact with frame at vehicle
manufacturer’s recommended lift points.

2. The Blazer 9000 may be mounted on several types of surfaces including regular concrete, pre-cast
concrete and other configurations that may utilize metal beams, etc.
3. There should be adequate space on all sides of the lift. Note that the lift and vehicle will move
approximately 14” backward as the lift rises to its full height.
4. The bases must be aligned perfectly and the same distance apart.
5. Shim as required to level both sides of the lift.
6. The Blazer 9000 can be surface mounted or recessed mounted. Optional ramps are required if the
unit is to be surface installed.
7. See layout dimensions later in this manual.

Regular Concrete Installation
1. Concrete must be level and uniform and have a thickness of 4” with a rating of 3000PSI. The
concrete should be reinforced with wire and rebar.
2. When installing the Blazer 9000 on a concrete floor that has a basement, you should check with
the building architect or manufacturer to determine the proper support for the lift.
3. Utilize 5/8” anchor bolts when anchoring in regular concrete floors per the above specifications.
Pre-Cast Concrete Installation
1. Pre-cast concrete requires a different anchoring system. Consult with the manufacturer or call for
more information before anchoring the lift on a pre-cast concrete system.
2. Never use regular 5/8” anchor bolts on a pre-cast floor.
Other Floor Materials
1. When installing the Blazer 9000 on floor materials other than those mentioned above, consult with
the manufacturer for best type of anchoring system.
Electrical Connection and Power Unit Installation
1. The power unit will normally be mounted on the optional power unit stand that also includes the air
valve mounting. Other type mountings, such as pole or wall mounting are possible, but may
require special adapters for the motor mount. The unit owner or manager should approve the
location.
2. If used, the power unit stand will require (four) 3/8” anchor bolts which are provided with the stand.
3. 230-Volt Electrical Operation: The power unit comes wired and ready to plug into a 230-volt, single
phase, 60 Hz circuit. Use dedicated, single phase, 25-AMP breaker with time delay fuse or
circuit breaker. Wiring must comply with local electrical codes.
Hydraulic Connections
1. Reference the hydraulic diagram for instructions on connecting the hydraulic hose on the Blazer
9000. The lift comes standard with small connector hoses that can be used with any length
hose depending on how far the power unit is mounted from the lift. The standard length
hydraulic hose supplied with the unit is 1 @ 26' and 1 @ 14'. Additional hose lengths can be
purchased as required. The hose length does not have to be the same as long as the air is
properly bled from the system during installation. See page 13 for further instructions.
2. The power unit operates at high pressure and adequate care must be taken to make sure all hose
fittings are securely tightened. Severe leaking will occur if the hose fittings are not properly
tightened.
3. The power unit requires 7-1/2 - 8 quarts of Dexron III Automatic Transmission Fluid or an equivalent.
4. Make sure breather cap is functional and not broken.

8
Air Connections
1. The Blazer 9000 has air safety releases, which require that an air system be installed.
2. The air valve can be mounted on the optional power unit stand referenced above.
3. Maximum air pressure on the system is 50-60 PSI. Use regulator to control pressure and water
filter to keep system dry.
4. Reference page #11 for the air schematic and required connections.
Surface Mounting
1. Lifts that cannot be recessed must utilize the optional ramps that will be anchored to the concrete
floor. Each ramp is anchored utilizing two 5/8” anchor bolts. The ramp is butted against the lift
base, which provides the means for the vehicle to roll on the lift.
II. Owner/Employer Responsibilities
The owner/employer shall:
1. Ensure that lift operators are instructed in the safe use and operation of the lift using the
manufacturer instructions and safety tips.
Display a copy of the manual in a location convenient to the lift so the operators can refer to it
as required.
2. Establish procedures to maintain, inspect and care for the lift in accordance with the
manufacturers recommended procedures to ensure its continued safe operation.
3. Provide necessary lock out/tagouts of energy sources per ANSI Z244.1-1982 before beginning any
lift repairs.
4. Not modify the lift in any manner without prior written consent of the manufacturer.
5. Ensure that there is adequate drainage around the lift so water will not accumulate on the base of
the lift.
6. In the unlikely event that one side of the lift will not lower all the way to the floor, slowly crack the
hydraulic line (at the power unit) on the line coming from that side of the lift and allow oil to
escape until it reaches he floor.

AIR BLEEDING PROCEDURE FOR BLAZER 9000
Step #1 Fill the power unit reservoir with Dexron III Mercon Automatic Transmission Fluid or equivalent,
approximately 7.5 quarts to start with, check all connections for proper security and clearances around and
under both of the lifting surfaces, example,…. binding, chafing, and pinching. :DUQLQJ6DIHW\H\HZHDULV
UHTXLUHGSULRUWRHTXLSPHQWRSHUDWLRQ.
Step #2 Prior to connecting the hydraulic hoses to the cylinders, press and hold the green “lifting” button on
the power unit, this will flow fluid through the hydraulic lines/hoses, flushing any foreign material along with
any air from the system and allow you to inspect for possible leaks. Cycle the pump until clear fluid is coming
out of both lift pad hydraulic hoses + approximately 1 quart1RWH'RQRWUHXVHWKLVIOXLGLWLVOLNHO\

Step #3 You will need to manually raise each lifting pad to the KLJKHVW safety lock setting, making sure that it
is securely latched into the latch bar on the base plate. :DUQLQJ3ODFHDVDIHW\EORFNRURWKHUPDWHULDO

raise the locks out of the latch bar on both left & right side base plates, simultaneously depressing the red
lowering button, the pads should begin to lower within a few moments. Allow the pads to lower all the way to
bottom. Duplicate this process numerous times, 5 to 6 cycles, increasing the lifting height by one extra lock
per cycle. Each completed operation should facilitate a more even pad elevation and smoother equipment
function. Some installations may require more or less cycles to accomplish this stage of the bleeding process.

Step #5. Once you have both lifting services raising/lowering evenly and smoothly you now are ready to put a
load on the system to complete the bleeding process. As in Step #1 an inspection around and under each lifting
surface for possible leaks and clearances is required. A mid-size vehicle of approximately 4500 + lbs will be
needed to finish this process. :DUQLQJ$OOXQQHFHVVDU\SHUVRQQHOQHHGWREHUHPRYHGIURPWKHWHVWDUHD
IRUVDIHW\. Stage the vehicle for lifting, utilizing necessary adapters as required, announce the lift operation,
and then when all is clear depress the green “lifting” button. Raise the vehicle until the tires are clear of the
floor surface, at this point you will release the green button and depress the lock release button, :DUQLQJ$V

ERWKSDGVDUHFOHDURIWKHODWFKEDURQWKHEDVHSODWH. Now you can depress the red “down” button allowing
the vehicle to lower down. Make sure that for each cycle you allow the pads to bottom out before starting up
again. Continue this process for a few cycles until the vehicle is coming up and going down level/smooth.
Note: Do not adjust any valves on the power unit pump without prior contact and instructions to do so
from DEVON. @ 1-800-468-1970
