1.4 Warnings (Read and understand all safety warnings before operation)
All safety warning labels are clearly depicted on the lift to ensure that the operator is aware of and avoids the dangers of
using the lift in an incorrect manner. The labels must be kept clean and they have to be replaced if detached or damaged.
Please read carefully the meaning of each label and memorize them for future operation.
1.5 Sound Level
The sound emitted from the lift should not exceed 75DB. For the sake of your health, we suggest putting a noise detector in
your working area.
1.6 Training
Only properly trained people are allowed to operate the lift. We are quite willing to provide professional training for the users
when necessary.
1.7 Special Reminder
The newly installed lift can NOT directly lift vehicle, and should be raised to the highest point then lower to the lowest point
2-3 times repeatedly without any load to bleed the air out from the hydraulic hose and cylinders to ensure the lift runs
smoothly.
1st time use the lift with load after air bleeding should follow the steps as below:
1. Loosen the screw cap of Hydraulic Oil Flow Valve and tighten the middle hexagonal screw clockwise inward to
the tightest.
2. Press the “UP” button to raise the lift with loaded vehicle to your desired height.
3. Press and hold the “DOWN” button to wait for the safety lock to be disengaged, then finely counterclockwise
adjust Hydraulic Oil Flow Valve (the middle hexagonal screw) to make the lowering speed reach 0.5inch/sec or
slower.
Note: The screw rotation must be adjusted by 1/8 or 1/16 as a scale.

STRATUS Mid Rise Scissor Lift Installation & Operation & Maintenance Instructions

Danger: When adjusting the flow valve, the rotation range can not be too large. Excessive adjustment range will cause the
vehicle to fall/drop rapidly.
Danger: The lift with loaded vehicle can not fall too fast. Otherwise it may cause damages to the lift or vehicle or even cause
rollover accident.
Repeat raising and lowering the lift 1-2 times to experience the speed. After confirming the lowering speed is stable, fix the
Hydraulic Oil Flow Valve nut.
Warning: The lowering speed of the lift is not fixed. The heavier the vehicle the faster the lowering speed is. The lowering
speed in winter is lower than in summer, so if you do not use the lift for a long time or use it across seasons, repeat the
above steps for adjustment.

**Important Information**
1 Hydraulic Oil Flow Valve: Clockwise adjustment to make the down speed faster, counterclockwise adjustment to make
the down speed slower.
2 Pressure Valve: Clockwise adjustment increases pressure to make the power unit to have more power, counterclockwise
adjustment decreases pressure to make the power unit to have less power.
4 Dump Valve: When the power is off or the scissor lift fails, manually release the safety lock first, then press the Dump
Valve and clockwise adjust it, the lift will go down. After the lift is down, press the Dump Valve and counterclockwise adjust
it to recover.
2. Overview of the lift
2.1 General descriptions
The lift is driven by an electro-hydraulic system. The gear pump delivers hydraulic oil to oil cylinders and pushes upwards
their pistons to raise the platforms. For this model, we offer two safety solutions: one with anti-surge valve in hydraulic
system to prevent sudden drop down of platform in case the oil hose broke, the other with anti-surge valve and an extra
pneumatic safety lock.
