PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY. KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS SAFE FOR FUTURE USE.
1. SAFETY
WARNING! Before use, ensure the motorcycle or quadbike to be lifted has a suitable structure and centre of gravity to accommodate
the lift arms without damaging the bike. DO NOT use if the lift will foul on the exhaust or other vulnerable parts. Remove lower
fairing or obstructing trims before use. Ensure the bike is adequately strapped onto the lift once required height is attained.
9Maintain the lift in good condition (use an authorised service agent).
9Replace or repair damaged parts. Use genuine parts only. Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
9Use a qualified person to lubricate and maintain the lift. DO NOT use brake fluid to top up hydraulic unit.
9Locate the lift in a suitable work area, keep area clean and tidy and free from unrelated materials, and ensure that there is adequate
lighting. Also ensure 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.
9Keep the lift clean for best and safest performance.
9Before use, stabilise the lift by turning the locking bolts (fig.1H) so that the lift is raised off of its wheels.
9The maximum lifting weight is 680kgs. DO NOT exceed this rated capacity.
9Remove ill fitting clothing. Remove ties, watches, rings and other loose jewellery, and contain long hair.
9Maintain correct balance and footing, do not over-reach. Ensure the floor is not slippery and wear non-slip shoes.
9Ensure the bike is adequately secured to the lift with appropriate straps after having been raised to the required height.
9Before lifting check that there are no overhead obstructions.
9When lift has been raised to the working height ensure that the safety arms are engaged to prevent accidental lowering.
9Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the work area.
9The lowering speed will vary according to the weight of the load and the amount by which the release pedal is depressed.
8DO NOT use the lift for a task it is not designed to perform.
8DO NOT operate the lift if damaged.
8DO NOT exceed the rated capacity of the lift.
8DO NOT operate the lift when you are tired or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or intoxicating medication.
8DO NOT allow untrained persons to operate the lift.
8DO NOT attempt to transport a load on the lift. The lift must only be used in a static position for raising and lowering loads.
8DO NOT make any modifications to the lift and DO NOT adjust or tamper with safety valve.
9Before lowering the lift ensure that there are no obstructions underneath and that all persons are standing clear of the lift.
9Before storing in a safe area, ensure all parts are clean and free of grease and oil. Store lift in the lowest position.

4.2. Before rst use
4.2.1. Before using the lift, purge the hydraulic circuit in order to eliminate any air in the system, by depressing the release pedal and at
the same time pump the lift pedal 15 to 20 times.
4.2.2. Now test the lift by raising it to its full height and then lowering it. Press the release valve pedal gently to slowly lower the lift.
5. OPERATION
WARNING! Ensure you read, understand and apply the safety instructions before use.
WARNING! Before use, ensure the motorcycle or quadbike to be lifted has a suitable structure and centre of gravity to accommodate
the lift arms without damaging the bike.
8DO NOT use if the lift will foul on the exhaust or other vulnerable parts. Remove any lower fairing. Ensure the bike is
adequately strapped onto the lift when required height is attained.
5.1. Position the bike in a suitable area, checking that the surface on which the lift will stand is solid and flat (preferably concrete).
Ensure there is good access and clearance beneath the bike for the lift to be wheeled under.
5.2. Wheel lift under bike so that the centre of gravity of the bike is over the lifting arms, which must fit snugly against the underside of the
bike.
5.3. Screw the two locking bolts down to stabilise the lift by raising the wheels from the floor (fig.1H).
5.4. Engage the safety lock so that the arms rest against the locking teeth.
As the lift is raised the safety arms will draw back and engage with the locking teeth so that the stand cannot be inadvertently lowered
(fig.3).
5.5. Pump the foot pedal to raise the lift to the required height. Check that the locking arms (fig.3) are in place and proceed with the work.
5.6. Secure the bike to the lift with suitable straps, ensuring that the bike will not move whilst work is in progress.
5.7. 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 any
securing straps, and ensure that the load is adequately supported whilst being lowered. Pump the lift a little higher to release the
locking arms (fig.3). Lift the arms up and back and secure in clip.
Engage the release valve pedal with a firm and steady pressure to GENTLY lower lift, too small an amount of pressure on the
release valve may make the lift lower more rapidly.
IMPORTANT: Speed of descent is controlled by the release valve pedal (see above). Ensure that the descent is slow and controlled
to avoid the risk of sudden dropping.
5.8. When the lift is fully lowered, ensure the bike is standing on its wheels and is supported in the upright position. Raise the locking bolts
(fig.1H) and move the lift from under the bike.
