YOU AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING:
I have visually inspected the site where the lift is to be
installed and verified the concrete to be in good
condition and free of cracks or other defects. I understand
that installing a lift on cracked or defective concrete could
cause lift failure resulting in personal injury or death.
I understand that a level floor is required for proper
installation and level lifting.
I understand that I am responsible if my floor is of
questionable slope and that I will be responsible for all
charges related to pouring a new, level concrete slab if
required.
I will assume full responsibility for the concrete floor
and condition thereof, now or later, where the above
equipment model is to be installed. Failure to follow
Danger, Warning, and Caution instructions may lead to
serious personal injury or death to operator or bystander
or damage to property.

INSTALLER / OPERATOR
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Personal protective equipment helps makes installation
and operation safer, however, it does not take the place
of safe operating practices. Always wear durable work
clothing during any installation and/or service activity.
Shop aprons or shop coats may also be worn, however
loose-fitting clothing should be avoided.
Tight-fitting leather gloves are recommended to protect
the technician’s hands when handling parts. Sturdy
leather steel-toe work shoes and oil resistant soles should
be used by all service personnel to help prevent injury
during typical installation and operation activities.
Eye protection is essential during
installation and operation activities. Safety
glasses with side shields, goggles, or face
shields are acceptable. Back belts provide
support during lifting activities and are
also helpful in providing worker protection.
Consideration should also be given to the use of hearing
protection if service activity is performed in an enclosed
area, or if noise levels are high.
THIS SYMBOL POINTS OUT IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WHICH IF NOT FOLLOWED
COULD ENDANGER THE PERSONAL SAFETY AND/OR PROPERTY OR YOURSELF AND OTHERS
AND CAN CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS IN
THIS MANUAL BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE THIS MACHINE.

SAFE LIFT OPERATION
Motorcycle lifts are critical to the operation and profitability of your business. The safe use of this and other lifts in your
shop is critical in preventing employee injuries and damage to customer’s vehicles. Safe operation of a motorcycle lift
requires that only trained employees should be allowed to use the lift.
TRAINING SHOULD INCLUDE, BUT NOT LIMITED TO:
Proper positioning of the vehicle on the table.
Use of the operating controls.
Understanding the lift capacity.
Proper use of jack stands or other load supporting devices.
Proper use, understanding and visual identification of safety lock devices and their operation.
Reviewing the safety rules.
Proper housekeeping procedures (lift area should be free of grease, oil, tools, equipment, trash, and other debris)
A daily inspection of the lift should be completed prior to its use. Safety devices, operating controls, lift arms and
other critical parts should be inspected prior to using the lift.
All maintenance and repairs of the lift should be completed by following the manufacturer’s requirements. Lift repair
parts should meet or exceed OEM specifications. Repairs should only be completed by a qualified lift technician.
The vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations should be used for spotting and lifting the vehicle.
LIFT OPERATION SAFETY
It is important that you know the load limit. Be careful that you do not overload the lift . If you are unsure what the
load limit is, refer to this manual or contact the manufacturer.
The center of gravity should be followed closely to what the manufacturer recommends.
Always make sure you have proper overhead clearance. Additionally, check that attachments, (vehicle signs,
pipes, antennas, etc.) are not in the way.
Be sure that prior to the vehicle being raised the motorcycle is secured to the table.
Prior to being raised, make sure there is no one standing closer than six feet from the lift.
After positioning the vehicle on the lift, make sure the ignition is off, overhead obstructions are cleared, and the trans-
mission is in neutral.
The lift should be raised just until the vehicle’s wheels are about one foot off the ground. If contact with the vehicle is
uneven or it appears that the vehicle is not sitting secure, carefully lower the lift and readjust.
Always consider potential problems that might cause a vehicle to slip, i.e., heavy cargo, etc.
Pay attention when walking under a vehicle that is up on the lift.
