WARNING! Keep your hands away from moving parts.
Numbers in brackets refer to item numbers in the parts diagram.
3.1. Assembly
3.1.1. Fit the sliding plate (66) to the platform (60), to cover the rear wheel removal aperture.
3.1.2. Attach leading plate (69) to end of platform (60) using washers (49) and cotter pins (70).
3.1.3. Fit the front wheel vice assembly (64) to the front of the platform (60) using bolts (65),
washers (49) and nuts (33).
3.1.4. Insert the lift foot pedal (71) into the pump piston spindle (10) and insert the
release foot pedal (72) into the release valve spindle (5).
3.1.5. Attach the guard plate (67) to the frame (44A) using bolts (68) and nuts (P23). This guard covers the release foot pedal to minimise the
risk of accidental lowering.
3.1.6. An extension plate (77) is provided for longer wheelbase bikes. Attach this to the front end of the main platform using the screws (75)
and the nuts (76).
3.2. Before first use
3.2.1. Leave the pump for one hour, to allow the oil to settle, before purging the system.
Note: Failure to allow sufficient time for the oil to settle could result in air remaining in the oil. In this event, the pump will not purge
completely first time and a second purge will be required.
3.2.2. Purge the hydraulic circuit, to eliminate any air in the system, by fully pressing the release valve pedal (72) and pumping the lift pedal
(71) 15 to 20 times.
3.2.3. Test the lift, unladen, by raising it to full height and then lowering it. Depress release valve pedal (72) slowly to control the rate of descent.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR:
400KG HYDRAULIC MOTORCYCLE LIFT
Model: MC401
Thank you for purchasing a Sealey product. Manufactured to a high standard this product will, if used according to these instructions and properly
maintained, give you years of trouble free performance.
1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
2. SPECIFICATION
3Maintain the lift in good condition (use an authorised service agent).
3Replace or repair damaged parts. Use genuine parts only. Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
3Use a qualified person to lubricate and maintain the lift. DO NOT use brake fluid to top up hydraulic unit.
3Locate the lift in a suitable work area. Keep area clean and tidy and free from unrelated materials, and ensure that there is adequate lighting.
3Ensure that the floor is level and strong enough (preferably concrete) to take the weight of the lift and the bike. DO NOT operate the lift on
tarmacadam, as the surface may be unstable.
3Keep the lift clean for best and safest performance.
3Before use, stabilise the lift by turning the foot stops so that the lift is just raised off of its wheels.
3The maximum bike weight is 400kg. DO NOT exceed this rated capacity.
3Remove ill fitting clothing. Remove ties, watches, rings and other loose jewellery, and contain long hair.
3Maintain correct balance and footing, do not over reach. Ensure the floor is not slippery and wear non-slip shoes.
3Ensure the bike is adequately secured to the lifting platform with appropriate straps.
3Before lifting check that there are no overhead obstructions.
3When platform has been raised to the working height ensure that the platform safety spindle is fitted to prevent accidental lowering.
3Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the work area.
3The lowering speed will vary according to the weight of the load and the release valve setting.
7DO NOT use the lift for a task it is not designed to perform.
7DO NOT operate the lift if it is damaged.
7DO NOT exceed the rated capacity of the lift.
7DO NOT operate the lift when you are tired or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or intoxicating medication.
7DO NOT allow untrained persons to operate the lift.
7DO NOT attempt to transport a load on the lift. The lift must only be used in a static position for raising and lowering loads.
7DO NOT make any modifications to the lift and DO NOT adjust or tamper with the safety valve.
3Before lowering the lift ensure that there are no obstructions underneath the platform and that all persons are standing clear.
3Before storing in safe area, ensure that all parts are clean and free of grease and oil. Store lift fully lowered.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. NOTE THE SAFE OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS.
USE THE PRODUCT CORRECTLY AND WITH CARE FOR THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT IS INTENDED. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE

p p
WARNING! Ensure that you read, understand and apply the safety instructions before use.
p p
WARNING! DO NOT attempt to overload the lift. The hydraulic pump is equipped with safety valve which will prevent an
excessive load from being lifted.
4.1. Position the lift in a suitable area, checking that the surface on which the lift will stand is solid and flat (preferably concrete). Ensure that
the adjusting screws (23A) are screwed down to raise the castor wheels of the ground and thus prevent the lift moving during use.
4.2. Check that the lift is fully lowered, that the vice jaws are open and that the sliding plate is in position.
4.3. Wheel the bike up the leading plate (69) and onto the platform so that the front wheel is just beyond the vice. Support bike on the centre stand.
Note: 1. If rear wheel is to be removed bike must be positioned so that the rear wheel is over the platform aperture.
2.There is a choice of mounting holes for the vice to cater for various sizes of bike.
4.4. Clamp front wheel in vice to prevent any movement of the bike.
4.5. By depressing the lift foot pedal (71), raise the lift.
4.6. When the lift is fully raised pass the set spindle (73) through the holes in the front lifting arm (59) so that the lift cannot be inadvertently lowered.
4.7. When work is complete, check under the lift to ensure that there are no obstructions and that it is safe to lower the unit.
Remove the set spindle from the front lifting arm and then SLOWLY press the release valve pedal (72) to GENTLY lower the lift.
QIMPORTANT: The speed of lowering is controlled by the release valve. The more the valve is opened the more rapidly the lift descends.
Ensure the descent is slow and controlled.
4.8. When the lift is fully lowered, open the vice jaws and remove the bike from the lift.
4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
5.1. When the lift is not in use, it must be stowed in the lowest position to minimise ram and piston corrosion.
5.2. Keep the lift clean and wipe off any oil or grease. Lubricate all moving parts..
5.3. Before each use check all parts. If any part of the lift is damaged or suspect remove lift from service and take necessary action to repair.
DO NOT use the lift if it is believed to have been subjected to abnormal load or shock. Inspect and take appropriate action.
5.4. Periodically check the ram and piston for signs of corrosion. Clean exposed areas with a clean oiled cloth.
5.5. The hydraulic oil level is checked as follows:
1) Remove hydraulic unit from lift and stand upright.
2) Remove vented plug (fig.1.A). Correct oil level is up to plug aperture - add hydraulic oil as necessary.
p WARNING! Only a good quality hydraulic oil, such as SEALEY HYDRAULIC OIL, must be used. DO NOT use brake fluid.
QIMPORTANT: Only fully qualified personnel should attempt maintenance or repair. Contact your authorised dealer.
