Save these instructions. For your safety, read, understand, and follow the information provided with and on this Lift.
The owner and operator of this equipment shall have an understanding of this Lift and safe operating procedures
before attempting to use. The owner and operator shall be aware that use and repair of this product may require
special skills and knowledge. Instructions and safety information shall be conveyed in the operator's native language
before use of this Lift is authorized. If any doubt exists as to the safe and proper use of this Lift, remove from
service immediately. Inspect before each use. Do not use if broken, bent, cracked or damaged parts are noted.
Any Lift that appears damaged in any way, or operates abnormally shall be removed from service immediately. If
the Lift has been or suspected to have been subjected to a shock load (a load dropped suddenly, unexpectedly
upon it), immediately discontinue use until it has been checked by an Omega authorized service center. It is
recommended that an annual inspection be done by qualified personnel. Labels and Operator's Manuals are
available from manufacturer (see Replacement Parts, page 5).
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Omega Motorcycle/ATV Lift is specifically designed to lift and support up to rated capacity loads consisting of a
single Motorcycle, ATV, Water Craft or Riding Lawn Mower whose frames are compatible with the lifting members of
the Lift. Incompatibility is evident when the loaded motorcycle, ATV, etc. wobbles, feels unstable, and/or does not
set securely on the lift pads. Tying down incompatible loads will not make the loads secure and may cause
unexpected loss of load resulting in personal injury and/or property damage. This Lift is NOT suitable for lifting,
leveling and/or positioning cars, trucks, SUV’s or conveyances other than those specifically listed and approved
above. This Lift is NOT suitable for lifting, leveling and/or positioning houses, construction trailers and dwellings in
general. This product does not contain independent lifting devices, but is designed to be permanently assembled.
Hydraulic unit is not to be used independently of the motorcycle lift.

BEFORE USE (see Fig. 1)
1. Verify that the product and the application are
compatible, if in doubt call Omega Technical
Service [phone].
2. Before assembling this product, read this operating
manual completely and familiarize yourself
thoroughly with the product, its components and
recognize the hazards associated with its use.
3. Before assembly, place hydraulic unit in an upright,
level position. Press release valve lever to ensure
ram is fully retracted. Locate and remove the oil filler
plug. As you remove the oil filler plug you may hear
pressurized air escaping from the reservoir. This
means you have successfully purged trapped air
from the system. Ensure the oil level is just below
the oil filler plug hole. Reinstall the oil filler plug.
4. After assembly, check to ensure that Lift rolls freely
and that the pump operates smoothly before putting
into service. Replace worn or damaged parts and
assemblies with Omega Replacement Parts only.
(See Replacement Parts Section). Lubricate as
instructed in Maintenance Section.
OPERATION
1. Position Lift under appropriate lift point, centering
load on lift saddle.
2. Locate and pump the lift pedal until the lift saddle
comes into contact with an appropriate lift point.
3. Only after centering the load, slowly and carefully
raise the lift arm by pumping the lift foot pedal.
4. Lock both swivel casters by pressing down on the
caster lever marked ‘lock’.
5. Continue pumping until the load has reached
desired height. Secure the load using appropriate tie
down means. Four tie down loops have been
provided on the frame of the Lift. Make sure that the
height locking mechanism is fully engaged before
working on or around the loaded Lift.
6. To lower, disengage height locking lever and depress
release pedal. In some cases it may be necessary
to slightly raise the lift arm before disengaging the
height locking lever.
MAINTENANCE
Important: Keep Lift clean and well lubricated. Apply
a couple of drops of light machine oil to all pivoting
joints as needed. Thoroughly wipe up excess oil to
help prevent slipping and falling. Use only a good grade
hydraulic jack oil. Avoid mixing different types of fluid
and NEVER use brake fluid, turbine oil, transmission
fluid, motor oil or glycerin. Improper fluid can cause
failure of the jack and the potential for sudden and
immediate loss of load. We recommend Mobil DTE
13M or equivalent.
Adding oil
1. To check hydraulic oil level, unload Lift, lower lift
arms completely, then remove hydraulic unit from
Lift. Place hydraulic unit upright on a stable, level
surface. Locate and remove oil filler plug.
2. Ensure the oil level is even with the oil filler plug
hole. Reinstall the oil filler plug, then install
hydraulic unit onto receiver. Secure with provided
bolts.
Changing oil
For best performance and longest life, replace the
complete fluid supply at least once per year.
1. With saddle fully lowered, remove hydraulic unit
from Lift. Place hydraulic unit upright on a stable,
level surface. Remove the oil filler plug.
!WARNIN
G
Study, understand and follow all printed materials
provided with and on this device. Do not exceed
rated capacity. Ensure load is compatible with lift
pads. Center load on lift pads. After lifting load to
desired height, ensure lift arm locking mechanism
is engaged. Secure load to Lift using apropriate
straps. Engage locking caster mechanism before
working on or around loaded Lift. Move loaded Lift
over smooth, level, seamless surfaces only. Before
moving, ensure load has been lowered completely.
Use only on hard, level surfaces capable of
sustaining rated capacity loads. Lift only on areas
of the load as specified by it’s manufacturer. Do
not use for any purpose other than that for which
this device is intended. Failure to heed these
messages may result in personal injury and/or
property damage.
! SAFETY MESSAGE !
Be sure all tools and personnel are clear before
lowering load. No alterations shall be made to this
device. Only attachments and/or adapters supplied
by the manufacturer shall be used.

MAINTENANCE (continued)
2. Lay the unit on its side and drain the fluid into a
suitable container.
Note: Dispose of used hydraulic oil in accordance
with local regulations.
3. Ensure the oil level is even with the oil filler plug
hole. Reinstall the oil filler plug, then install hydraulic
unit onto receiver.
Lubrication
A periodic coating of light lubricating oil to pivot points,
axles and hinges will help to prevent rust and assure
that wheels, casters and pump assemblies move
freely.
