damage, permit only trained personnel
to operate lift. After reviewing these in
structions, get familiar with lift controls
by running the lift through a few cycles
before loading vehicle on lift.
Always lift the vehicle using all four
adapters. NEVER raise just one end,
one corner, or one side of vehicle.
Assure vehicle frame can support it's
weight & overhead bar or sensor will contact highest
point on the vehicle.
