3. Operation Description
3.1 Precautions for vehicle repair
work
zDifferent vehicles have different center of gravity
positions. First understand the position of center
of gravity, and when the vehicle enters into the
lift, make its center of gravity close to the plane
formed by two columns. Adjust the swing arm,
and make the lifting pad support onto the lifting
point of the vehicle. Please refer to ALI / LP
Guide（PGP-25）standard to get the advised
vehicle lifting point.
zCautiously note the car roof position when lifting,
to avoid its contacting with top beam and
causing accident.
zCarefully read the warming symbol.
zThe hydraulic valves have been adjusted before
ex-factory, and the user can’t make
self-adjustment, otherwise it will be responsible
for all the consequences generated.
zBased on the production needs, some
specifications in the instruction manual are
subjected to change without notice
3.2 Preparation before Operation
zLubricate contact surface of the carriage with
general-purpose lithium grease（GB7324-87）.
All sliding surface should be coated evenly from
the top to bottom.
zFill hydraulic oil N32 or N46（approx.12L）to the
oil reservoir of the power unit.
3.3 Lifting the Vehicle
zKeep work area clean, don’t operate the lift in
cluttered work area.
zLower the carriage to the lowest position.
zReduce the swing arm to the minimum length.
zSwing the arm along the route of the vehicle
zMove the vehicle to the location between the two
columns
zSwing the arm and put the lifting pad below the
recommended lifting point, and adjust the height
of lifting pad to touch lifting point of vehicle
zPress the UP button on the electric control
box(Fig.4), slowly lift the vehicle to ensure the
load balance, and then raise the lift to the
required height.
zRelease the UP button and the carriage will
stop.
zPress the DOWN button to engage the safety
lock of carriage. At this time, the vehicle can be
repaired.
Note:
Before operation, the safety locking devices
must be Inspected.1) The gear blocks ofthe
arm end must engage the gear block of the
restraint shaft.2)No broken strand in the steel
cable. 3)No deformation in the arm pad.
When lifting the vehicle, all the swing arms
must be used.
Before lifting the vehicle, check all the
hydraulic hose and fittings for oil leakage. In
case of leakage, please don’t use the lift.
Remove the fitting with leakage and re-seal.
Re-install the fitting and check if oil leakage
still exists.
After the vehicle is lifted, when adding or
removing any major heavy object, use jack
stand to maintain the balance of the vehicle.
3.4 Lowering the Vehicle
zClean the work area before lowering the vehicle.
zLift vehicle of 5-10mm.
zPull the safety lock handle, then press down the
lowering handle(Fig.4),the carriage lowers
zLower the vehicle till the swing arm down to the
bottom and the lifting pads leave the vehicle
chassis, and then release the handle.
zThe swing arms under the vehicle must be fully
shrunk。
Note: Don’t operate lift if the safety latch
doesn’t work, which means the safety latch must fall
into the safety groove when lifting. Don’toperate lift
when the load is tilting.

5. Repair and Maintenance
Keep clean
zThis unit should be cleaned with dry cloth frequently
to keep it clean. Before cleaning, first switch off the
power to ensure the safety.
zThe working environment of this unit should be clean.
In case of dust in the working environment, it will
speed up the parts wearing and shorten the service
life of the lift.
Every day:
zCheck to see if the connection between hydraulic
cylinder and carriage is proper.
zCheck to see if the steel cable connection is proper,
and if the tension is at the optimum status.
Every month:
zRetighten the anchor Bolt s.
zLubricate chains/cables with lithium based lubrication
grease（GB7324-87）
zCheck all the hydraulic lines for wearing
zCheck to see if the carriage and the inner side of the
column are properly lubricated. Use high-quality
heavy lubrication grease (lithium based lubrication
grease GB7324-87).
Note: All the anchor Bolt s should be tightened
completely. If any Screw doesn’t function for some
reason, the lift can not be used until the Boltis
replaced
Every six months:
zCheck all the movable parts for possible wearing,
interference or damage.
zCheck the lubrication of all the pulleys. If the pulley
has dragging during the lifting and lowering, add
appropriate lubricant to the wheel axle.
zWhen necessary, check and adjust the balancing
tension to ensure the horizontal lifting and lowering.
zCheck the verticality of the column.
Note: The inner corner of each column should
be lubricated with lubricant, to minimize the roller
friction and ensure the smooth and even lifting.
Maintenance of hydraulic system:
zClean and oil change
In the six months after initial use of this unit, clean the
hydraulic oil tank and replace the oil, later clean the
hydraulic system once a year, and replace the oil.
zReplace the seal
After this unit is put into operation for certain period, if
finding the oil leakage, carefully check it; if the
leakage is due to the wearing of sealing materials,
immediately replace the worn one based on the
original spec. See Fig. 7

The electrical working principle is as follows:
Press the start button (SB), motor (M) is energized to
drive the gear pump supplying oil to push the carriage
upward; release the start button SB, the motor (M) will lose
the power and the carriage will stop rising. if the vehicle is
lifted up to the top and contacts the limit switch (SQ) on the
top beam, the motor (M) will lose the power, the carriage
will stop lifting to protect the roof.

Working principles of hydraulic system:
When the button is pressed to start the motor on the
power unit, the motor 2 will be actuated to put the oil pump
1 into motion; and oil will be sucked from the oil tank and
sent to cylinder 9 forcing the piston move upward. At this
time, the safety vale 5 is closed. (The pressure is well
adjusted before leaving the factory to ensure the rated
capacity. However, when the system pressure exceeds the
limit, the oil will automatically overflow). When the start
button is released, the oil supply will stop so as to stop the
lifting. For lowering the carriage, first start up the motor to
raise the carriage a little, pull the safety lock handle on the
column to disengage the safety locking status; and then
press the manual lowering handle valve 6 to lower the
carriage.
