IMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

Instructions Pertaining to a Risk of Fire, Electric Shock, or Injury to Persons

WARNING ??? When using tools, basic pre- cautions should always be followed, including the following:

General

WARNING - To reduce the risks of electric shock, fire, and injury to persons, read all the instructions before using the tool.

Work area

a.Keep the work area clean and well lighted. Cluttered benches and dark areas increase the risks of electric shock, fire, and injury to persons.

b.Do not operate the tool in explo- sive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. The tool is able to create sparks resulting in the ignition of the dust or fumes.

c.Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating the

tool. Distractions are able to result in the loss of control of the tool.

Personal safety

a.Stay alert. Watch what you are do- ing and use common sense when operating the tool. Do not use the tool while tired or under the influ- ence of drugs, alcohol, or medica- tion. A moment of inattention while operating the tool increases the risk of injury to persons.

b.Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.

Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair increases the risk of injury to persons as a result of being caught in moving parts.

c.Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpect- ed situations.

d.Use safety equipment. A dust mask, non-skid safety shoes and a hard hat must be used for the applicable

conditions. Wear heavy-duty work gloves during use.

e.Always wear eye protec- tion. Wear ANSI-ap- proved safety goggles.

f.Always wear hearing protection when using the tool. Prolonged expo- sure to high intensity noise

is liable to cause hearing loss.

g.Risk of Electric Shock. This tool is not provided with an insulated gripping surface. Contact with a

???live??? wire will also make exposed metal parts of the tool ???live??? and shock the operator.

Tool use and care

a.Use tie downs or another practical way to secure and support the mo- torcycle on the platform. Holding the motorcycle by hand or against the body is unstable and is able to lead to loss of control.

b.Do not force the Lift. Use the cor- rect Lift for the application. The cor- rect tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which the tool is designed.

c.Do not use the Lift if the controls do not function properly. Any tool that cannot be controlled is danger- ous and must be repaired.

d.Store the tool when it is idle out of reach of children and other un- trained persons. A tool is dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e.Maintain the tool with care. A prop- erly maintained tool reduces the risk of binding and is easier to control.

f.Check for misalignment or bind- ing of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that affects the tool???s operation. If dam- aged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools. There is a risk of bursting if the tool is damaged.

g.Use only accessories that are identified by the manufacturer for

the specific tool model. Use of an accessory not intended for use with the specific tool model, increases the risk of injury to persons.

Service

a.Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.

b.When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Use only authorized parts.

c.Use only the lubricants supplied with the tool or specified by the manufacturer.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

The Lift comes completely assembled, except for the following items: (Refer to the exploded drawing).

1.Tie Down Rings: The two front tie downs are longer than the rear pair. Slide the front tie downs (13) onto the rods welded at either side of the front end of the platform, and secure them with bolts (14) and nuts (15). Attach the shorter rear tie-downs (31) to the rear rods and secure with bolts (14) and nuts (15).

2.Wheel Chock: Place the wheel chock (17) on to the front end of the platform and align it with a suitable pair of holes. Slide the long bolt (19) through a hole in the side of the platform and through the sleeves welded to the back of the chock and out the other side of the platform. Secure with nut (18).

3.Front Wheel Attachment. Drop the ends of the ???U??? shaped front wheel

attachment (21) into the sleeves welded to the front end of the platform and secure with a pull pin (7) and a R-Pin (20) on either side.

4.Support Leg and Wheel Assemblies: Identify the two support leg/wheel assemblies. The front assembly (74) has a threaded hole between each pair of wheels. Insert the front assembly through the support arm tube at the lower, front end of the scissor frame. Rotate the assembly within the tube until the hole in the centre aligns with the hole in the tube. Secure with a bolt (26). Now attach wheels (28), washers (29) and retaining rings (30) in the order shown in the diagram below. Identify

the two lock bolts (41) with hand wheels attached and screw them into the holes between the wheels on either side. Insert the rear assembly

(27) through the support arm tube at the lower, back end of the scissor frame. Rotate the assembly within the tube until the hole in the centre aligns with the hole in the tube. Secure with a bolt (26). Now attach wheels (28), washers (29) and retaining rings (30).

How to store the lift vertically.

1.The lift can be stored vertically as shown in figure below.

WARNING: In this position the lift is not free standing and must be secured to a wall with a heavy duty cable or chain. Failure

to adequately secure the lift could result in serious injury or death in the event the lift tips over.

2.With the lift in its lowest position remove the ramp from the end of the extended platform. Whilst the platform is still extended remove the pins from the ???U??? shaped support on the end of the extension and fold it over. Use the two pins to lock it in this position. Remove the two pins from the other end of the extension and push the extension back onto the main platform until it lines up with another pair of holes in the rails. Insert the two pins through the rails to lock the extension piece in position.

3.With the help of a second person, push the rear end of the Motorcycle Lift against the wall where it will be secured. Together lift the front end into a vertical position. As it reaches the vertical position the weight of the lift will shift from the wheels to the ???U??? shaped support leaving the wheels slightly off the ground. Two people should continue to support the lift whilst it is manoeuvred up against the wall. Whilst one person continues to support the lift the other will secure

it in position with a heavy cable or chains and a suitable lock.

4.Putting the lift back down for use. When returning the lift to the horizontal position, equal care is required to avoid injury to persons.

Reverse the lifting up steps. When finally lowering the lift to the ground take hold of the outer part of the cable tie down bars at the chock

end of the lift to avoid fingers being trapped under the wheel bars.
