Preparation and Set Up
Unpackaging
1. Cut shipping banding from carton and platform.
2. Install lift handle into base frame weldment and secure in place with cotterless hitch pins.
3. Remove the wood chocks from around the caster wheels.
4. Carefully roll the lift off the shipping pallet onto the floor.
Prepare The Air Pump For Operation
A. Pictogram Definitions
B. Cut shipping tie straps from air pump.
C. Air Supply Hook Up
1. Remove the thread protector from the air inlet of the pump. The pump's air inlet is 1/4-18 NPT
internal threads. Select and install the threaded fittings which are compatible with your air supply
fittings. The air supply should be 20 CFM (.57 M³/min.) at 100 PSI (7 BAR) at the pump to obtain
the rated hydraulic pressure. Air pressure should be regulated to between 50 PSI (3.5 BAR) and
140 PSI (9.5 BAR). A pressure of 100 PSI (7 BAR) is the recommended minimum. Secure your
pump fitting to the air supply.
2. It is highly recommended to install an automatic air line oiler to the air supply as close to the pump
as possible. Set the unit to feed approximately one drop of oil per minute into the system. Use SAE
grade oil, 5W to 30W.
D. Priming The Pump Unit
Under certain circumstances it may be necessary to prime the air pump.
To accomplish this, perform the following procedure:
1. Press the release end of the pedal while holding down
the air intake valve with a flathead screwdriver. The air
intake valve is located directly under the pedal in the area
marked . The valve is depressed simultaneously
with the area of the pedal during priming.
2. Allow the pump to cycle approximately 15 seconds.
3. Remove the screwdriver and press the end of the
pedal once more.
4. If the cylinder extends or pressure builds, the pump has
been successfully primed. If the pump does not respond,
repeat the procedure, jogging the air intake valve while
holding the pedal in the position.
Activating the pump with the pedal end marked with this pictogram,
the flow of fluids is directed out of the reservoir.
Activating the pump with the pedal end marked with this pictogram,
the flow of fluids is directed back to the reservoir.

C. Platform Sliding Extension Feature
1. Cut shipping banding securing platform halves
2. Retract spring plunger and extend platform by pulling on table handle.Ensure spring plunger engages
at all three stop positions when the plunger is released.
Operating Instructions
Fine Adjustment Tilting Feature
The forcing screws shown in Figure 1 allow the user to finely tilt the platform to help remove or install vehicle
components.This feature provides a total of two inches of tilt at the front of the platform which helps compensate
for uneven shop floors, difficult fastener locations, etc. The forcing screws can be operated by either hand, or
wrench or socket, depending on the applied load.
CAUTION: To prevent equipment damage, do not tilt the platform without the leveler screws in their
lowest position as the platform might be driven into the screws.

Leveler
Screws
Stabilization Feature
If lift is to be used as a stationary work surface for servicing components, two leveler screws (see Figure 2)
have been added to help stabilize the platform.
When the desired tilt or platform position has been reached, thread both leveler screws inward until they meet
the bottom of the platform and tighten finger-tight only. This provides two extra points of contact for a more
stable platform.
CAUTION: To prevent equipment damage,
• Do not tighten the leveler screws with a wrench or ratchet.
• Do not tilt the platform if the leveler screws are not in their lowest position.
Platform Sliding Extension Feature
When the lift is to be used as a stationary work surface, the sliding platform extension may be used to facilitate
the separation of powertrain components (i.e., engine and transmission). Retract spring plunger and pull on
Table Handle (See Figure 3) to extend sliding platform. Release spring plunger and slide platform extension
until it locks into a stationary position.
Secure components to the platform with bolts and/or straps. Many M10 x 1.5 holes are provided in the platform
top to thread bolts into. CAUTION: To prevent damaging threads in the platform, do not torque bolts
beyond 50 ft. lbs. (68 N•m). Holes in the side edges of the platform are provided for securing straps.
WARNING: To prevent personal injury and/or equipment damage,
●Always secure components to the platform with bolts and/or straps.
●Do not raise or lower lift with platform extended.
●Do not use the Platform Handle (located on the sliding platform) to move the entire lift.

Preventive Maintenance continued
B. Hydraulic Fittings
1. Inspect for leaks.
●Tighten fittings to stop leak.
●Replace fittings if tightening does not stop leak.
C. Hose
1. Inspect and replace if found to contain cuts, cracks, or considerable surface wear.
D. Pump
1. Check hydraulic fluid level.
●The fluid level should be 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) from the filler/vent cap with cylinder retracted.
Replenish with hydraulic fluid (P/N 9637) through this port if needed.
2. Check pump reservoir for leaks due to damage to reservoir.
3. Raise and lower platform by operating air pump pedal. Ensure platform raises and lowers only when
the air pump pedal is actuated.
WARNING: To prevent personal injury and/or equipment damage, discontinue use and
service the unit immediately if platform moves after air pump pedal is released.
4. If platform moves slowly when raising, or pump seems to reciprocate faster than normal, install an
automatic air line oiler prior to the pump.
●When automatic air line oiler is installed, some oil discharge from pump exhaust is normal and
indicates proper lubrication.
E. Lubrication
1. Use a grease gun to thoroughly apply grease at every location fitted with grease fitting (i.e., upper
& lower rollers, casters, scissor & hydraulic cylinder pivot pins, etc.). Pump grease into fitting until
only new grease can be seen escaping from joint. Wipe away excess.
F. Cleaning
1. Wipe dirt, debris, and grime from all surfaces using clean rag.
Every 3000 cycles or 24 months, whichever comes first:
A. Draining and Flushing the Pump Reservoir
1. Remove screws that fasten pump assembly to reservoir. Remove pump assembly from reservoir.
Do not damage gasket, filter or safety valve.
2. Drain reservoir of all fluid and refill half full with clean hydraulic fluid (P/N 9637). Rinse filter clean.
3. Place pump assembly back onto reservoir, and secure with two machine screws assembled in
opposite corners of housing.
4. Run unit for several minutes. Use same method described in section titled “Priming the Pump Unit.”
5. Drain and clean reservoir once more.
6. Refill reservoir with hydraulic fluid (p/n 9637) and replace pump assembly (with gasket) on reservoir
and install screws. Torque screws to 25 to 30 inch pounds (2.8 to 3.4 N•m).
B. Refilling the Pump Reservoir
1. If additional fluid must be added to reservoir, use only hydraulic fluid (p/n 9637; 215 SSU @ 100°
F [38° C]). Clean entire area around filler plug before adding fluid to reservoir. Remove filler plug,
and insert a clean funnel with filter. The cylinder must be fully retracted and air supply disconnected
when adding fluid to reservoir.
