Display this manual in a conspicuous location
in the lift area convenient to the operator.
Only those technicians who have been properly trained in the usage
and care of the lift should be allowed to operate the lift.
Local regulations MAY require that the trained operator be at least
18 years of age or be supervised by a trained operator while:
A. positioning the vehicle in the service bay,
B. positioning the lifting devices, and,
C. actuating the lift controls.
ALWAYS lift the vehicle using all lifting devices together.
NEVER raise just one end, one corner, or one side of
the vehicle.
ONLY lift vehicles which have an individual axle weight that
does not exceed one-half the lift capacity. See load capacity
table below.
The lift is to be used for raising unoccupied
motor vehicles ONLY!

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Surface Mounted Frame Engaging Lifts
To avoid personal injury and/or property damage, permit only trained personnel to
operate lift. After reviewing these instructions, get familiar with lift controls by running
the lift through a few cycles before loading vehicle on lift.
IMPORTANT Always lift the vehicle using all lifting devices. NEVER
raise just one end, one corner, or one side of vehicle.
Assure overhead bar will contact highest point on the vehicle.
1. Before Loading:
• Inspect Lift - See "Operator Maintenance" on page
8. Never operate if lift malfunctions or has broken
or damaged parts.
• Lift must be fully lowered and service bay clear of
all personnel before the vehicle is positioned onto
lift.
• Position rear ramp and front forks so that they match
vehicle wheel base and are centered on columns.
• Assure area around lift is free of tools, debris,
grease, and oil.
• Assure Forks and Ramp are free from grease and oil.
• Do Not allow unauthorized persons in shop area
while lift is in use.
• Do Not use any part of the lift as a crane or as a
support for another lifting mechanism. (i.e.: block
& tackle, etc.)
• Retract forks to give widest drive through.
• For M Series Lifts, turn key switch to "ON"
Position.
2. Loading:
• Do Not allow unauthorized or untrained persons to
position vehicle or operate lift.
• Do Not overload lift. See capacity label on lift.
• Position vehicle with the rear wheels centered on the
rear ramp. (Driving over forks is permitted with
wide vehicles).
• Move forks so the front wheels are fully cradled.
• Use small wheel adapter on forks when necessary,
see Fig. 2.
• For 3-wheel vehicles, center single wheel on rear
ramp.
3. To Raise Lift:
• Do Not permit anyone on lift or inside vehicle when it
is being raised (or lowered).
• Maintain visual contact with pickup points and
vehicle throughout the motion of the lift while
remaining clear of lift.
• For M Series Lifts, push RAISE switch on power
unit, Fig. 1. For E & iSeries lifts, push
button on touchpad of master or slave control panel,
Fig. 1a.
Note: Allow 2 seconds between motor starts. Failure to
comply may cause motor burnout.
• Raise vehicle until tires clear the floor.
• Stop and check for stable contact with vehicle.
• Continue to raise to desired height only if vehicle is
stable on lift.
• Lower lift onto safety latches after desired height is
reached. (Lift is to be raised high enough for locking
latches to engage.) For M Series lifts, turn lowering
switch to DOWN position, Fig. 1. For E and i Series
lifts, push
SELECT
LOWER TO LOCKS
on touchpad of either master
or slave control panel.
• Repeat complete spotting, loading, and raising
procedures if vehicle is unstable.
WARNING

6
RESIDUAL RISKS
• Check tire inflation and attachment to axles to assure proper fit on
lifting attachments of lift.
• Vehicles with heavy accessories attached, will have a changed center
of gravity. Use stands when working on such vehicles.
• Assure lawn mower attachments do not cause either individual axle
weight to exceed one half lift capacity.
CAUTION
Use small wheel adapter kit when raising
vehicles with less than 13” wheels. Be sure to engage
dowel screw.
Fig. 2
4. While Using Lift:
• Avoid excessive rocking of vehicle while on lift.
• Avoid accidental touching of exposed exhaust system on
raised vehicles. Watch for air hoses and electrical cords
which may be tripped over.
• Wear safety glasses while working under vehicle.
5. Before Lowering Lift:
• Remove all tools or other objects from lift area.
• Assure personnel are not in lift area.
6. To Lower Lift:
• Remain clear of lift when lowering vehicle. Keep Feet
Clear!
• Raise lift off locking latches. For M Series lifts, push
raise button, Fig. 1. For E and iSeries lifts, push
on master or slave side control panel.
• For M Series, Actuate LATCH release handle fully and
hold. Push LOWERING switch to DOWN position, Fig.
1a. When lift stops, turn lowering switch to SAFETY
DISTANCE position while keeping feet clear.
Note: Both LATCH release and LOWERING switch are
deadman-type design. Each must be held down to lower lift.
Do not override these self-closing lift controls.
• For E and iSeries lifts push on master or
slave control panel.
7 Unloading:
• Assure lift is fully lowered.
• Retract forks as far as possible.
• Assure Exit area is clear of objects and personnel before
removing vehicle from lift.
8. Power Off:
• For M Series, turn key switch to "OFF" position while lift is
not in use.
• Remove key when leaving the lift unattended.
9. Trouble Shooting:
• See page 7.
10. Maintenance:
• See page 7.

should be torqued to 122Nm (12.4kg-m).
•Every 6 months: Check fluid level of lift power unit and
refill to proper level in level indicator with lift fully lowered.
•Replace all decals on the lift if unable to read or missing.
Reorder labels from Rotary Lift.
