The use of the Safety Lock Bar Extender is required in order to safely lower
the lift. Be sure to keep fingers, hands, and other limbs as far away from the
lift as possible while lowering to prevent any crushing type injuries. Failure to
follow these safety precautions can result in serious injury or death.
4. The Kendon lift is lowered by releasing the Air-Over-Hydraulic cylinder.
DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN or OVER-LOOSEN THE RELEASE VALVE
on the internal Air-Over-Hydraulic cylinder. One-quarter turn is generally
sufficient to open or seal the cylinder. The release valve knob is the
assembly that extends from the bottom of the Air-Over-Hydraulic cylinder
housing to the front of the lift, located beside the pump handle. This
release valve should be turned only in small increments. You can control
the lowering speed of your Kendon lift by slightly opening and closing the
release valve. If you open it up too much, especially with a heavy
motorcycle secured to the lift, the lift will descend quickly. By "toggling"
the release valve open and closed during descent, you can safely control
the rate of descent as your Kendon lift is lowered to remove the
motorcycle from the lift.
5. In the event that you wish to slow or stop the descent of the lift, simply
turn the release valve to the right and the jack will be sealed and the lift
will stop its descent.
6. Insert the ramp into the rear folding section of the lift.
7. When you release the Tie-Down straps the motorcycle will jump or shift
somewhat. It is best to have an assistant holding the handlebars of the
motorcycle to keep it stable at the moment that the Tie-Down straps are
released. USE CAUTION when releasing tie-down straps.
8. After releasing the tie-down straps, pull the motorcycle out of the wheel
chock, and roll the motorcycle off of the Lift. NOTE – removing the front
wheel of the motorcycle from the wheel chock is very easy. However, you
may feel more comfortable with this procedure after you have practiced a
few times. We STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you have an assistant to
help you during the first few times you take the motorcycle out of the
wheel chock.
Pulling the Motorcycle Wheel out of the Wheel Chock
1. With the tie-down straps removed, push down on the handlebars of your
motorcycle, slightly compressing the front suspension of the motorcycle.
