Operation
Check Oil Level
The lift reservoir is filled at the factory with DTE 13
hydraulic oil. Check level before lift is first operated and
every 8 hours or daily, thereafter. Capacity of system
is 1.5 qt.
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Raise lift and install safety blocks. Refer to the
Installing Safety Blocks section and the Operation
chapter.
Note: If lift cannot be raised, due to lack of oil in
reservoir, it may be raised with a hoist and safety
blocks installed, to expose reservoir breather cap.
3. Clean area around reservoir breather cap (Figure 20).

4. Unscrew breather cap from top of reservoir.
5. Insert a clean rod or stick into reservoir and check
fluid level. Fluid should be within 2 inches from top
of reservoir. If level is low, add enough DTE 13
hydraulic oil to achieve the proper level. DO NOT
OVERFILL.
Note: If DTE 13 hydraulic oil is not available,
DTE 24 or Dextron ll ATF may be substituted.
Fluids may be mixed, after initial fill of reservoir.
Note: Always use DTE 13, DTE 24, or equivalent
ISO Viscosity Grade 32 oils when reservoir must be
completely refilled or if cold weather is expected.
The use of other fluids may inhibit the operation
of the lift.
Check Tire Pressure
Check tire pressure every 8 hours or daily to assure
proper levels.
Refer to the vehicle operator's manual for proper tire
inflation specification.
Installing Safety Blocks
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Set parking brake and chock wheels.
3. Rotate vehicle key switch to "Off" position.
4. While standing next to machine, grasp pendant
control and rotate lift key switch to "On" position.
Check overhead clearance and for any obstructions.
5. Press "UP" button to raise lift high enough to install
safety blocks. Stand clear of scissor arms while
platform is moving.
Contact with moving scissor arms can cause
personal injury.
• Stand clear of scissor arms while platform
is moving.
• Make sure area is clear of bystanders before
lowering platform.
• Never work under raised platform without
lift safety blocks installed.
• Always remove key from lift control box
when platform is not in use.
6. Remove retaining pins securing safety blocks to side
of lift frame (Figure 21).
