Lift Positioning Options
The MSC-6KLP can conveniently be positioned to raise a vehicle using two different methods:
1. DRIVING THE VEHICLE OVER THE MSC-6KLP BASE UTILIZING THE RAMPS FEATURE:
· Ensure Swing Arms are positioned to the outer positions and the Lift is positioned on a flat
level surface, able to properly support the load. Carefully drive vehicle over the ramps until
it is close to being centered. Set the parking brake. Position arms under the vehicle to lift at
the vehicle's proper pick-up points. Once arms are positioned, spin-up the swivel pads until
the rubber pads come in contact the vehicle's frame. Depress the "start" button to raise the
vehicle a little and check the arms positions again to ensure the arms are in the proper
position and the vehicle is properly balanced. Raise vehicle to the desired height, then
lower onto latch.
2. POSITIONING THE MSC-6KLP UNDER STATIONARY VEHICLE:
· Ensure the Vehicle to be raised is positioned on a flat level surface, able to properly support
being raised by the lift. Maneuver the Lift in the portable configuration to the desired side of
the vehicle, ensuring the Lift is close to being centered to the vehicle. Position the Swing
Arms so that the swing arms will clear the inside of both the front & back wheels, as well as
the vehicle's frame. Set the parking brake and position the arms under the vehicle to lift at
the vehicle's proper pick-up points. Once arms are positioned, spin-up the swivel pads until
the rubber pads come in contact the vehicle's frame. Depress the "start" button to raise the
vehicle a little and check the arms positions again to ensure the arms are in the proper
position and the vehicle is properly balanced. Raise vehicle to the desired height, then
lower onto latch.
BE CAREFUL NOT TO RAISE THE VEHICLE SO HIGH THAT IT STRIKES THE CEILING!
MAKE SURE ANTENNAS ARE REMOVED, IF NECESSARY. ALSO BE AWARE OF
ANYTHING THAT PROTRUDES FROM THE CEILING, LIKE LIGHT BULBS, GARAGE
DOOR OPENERS OR DOOR TRACKS.
