4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Ensure that you read, understand and apply the safety instructions before use.
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.
IMPORTANT: 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.
5. MAINTENANCE
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.
WARNING! Only a good quality hydraulic oil, such as SEALEY HYDRAULIC OIL, must be used. DO NOT use brake fluid.
