1. Study, understand, and follow all instructions
before operating this device.
2. Do not exceed rated capacity.
3. Use only on a hard, level surface
capable of supporting the load.
4. Center load on lift platform.
5. Lift only those areas of the vehicle
specified by its manufacturer.
6. Immediately after lifting load, ensure lift
mechanical load-holding is engaged.
7. Before moving, lower the load to

position, loads consisting of a single vehicle
whose lift points are compatible with the lift
platform. Incompatibility is evident when the
loaded vehicle wobbles, appears unstable, and/
or does not securely engage the lift platform.
11. Restraining an incompatible load will not make the
load secure and may cause unexpected loss of load.
12. Never work on, around, or under a load
that is not secured and stable.
13. Keep operator’s and bystander’s head, hands, and
feet away from lift arms when raising and lowering.
14. No alterations shall be made to this product.
15. Only attachments, restraints, or adapters
supplied by the manufacturer shall be used.
16. Keep clear of load while lifting and lowering.
17. Lower load slowly.
18. Do not use for aircraft purposes.
19. Inspect before every use; do not use

common sense when operating a Lift. Do not use
Lift while tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating lifts may result in serious personal injury.
22. Never allow anyone to ride Lift when it is being raised,
lowered, or while holding an ATV or motorcycle.
23. Before use, read manufacturer’s instruction
manual for the ATV or motorcycle being lifted.

bleeding
iMpOrtant! before first use, check for proper
hydraulic fluid level in the bottle Jack (30). then
thoroughly test the lift for proper operation
prior to its actual use. if the lift appears not
to be working properly, it may be necessary
to bleed its hydraulic system of excess air.
1. Remove the Fluid Fill Plug (39a) on
the side of the Bottle Jack (30).
2. Use one foot to step on and hold the
Release Pedal (13a) down.
3. While holding the Release Pedal down,
quickly pump the Foot Pedal (27) up and down
several times to purge air from the system.
4. Check the fluid fill hole and, if necessary, top
off the jack’s Fluid Reservoir (11a) with high
grade hydraulic fluid (sold separately).
5. Replace the Fluid Fill Plug.
6. Test the Lift several times for proper operation
before attempting to lift a load. if, after purging,
the lift still does not appear to be working
properly, do not use the lift until it has been
repaired by a qualified service technician.
adding Hydraulic Fluid
1. Remove the Fluid Fill Plug (39a) on
the side of the Bottle Jack (30).

Operating instructions
tO preVent SeriOUS inJUry: Do not work on the lift, or leave it unattended if the
Stop bars (41, 44) are not in the locked position, or the lock bolts (16) are not engaged (lifting
the rear Wheels [17] off of the ground). Keep clear of lift arms (8, 43) during operation.
lifting
1. Lift the Stop Bar Connecting Rod (40) and
secure it to the Stop Bar Rod Clamp (37).
2. Use the Handle (34) to roll the Lift and position it
next to the load. Lower the Lift by depressing the
Release Pedal (13a). (See ATV or motorcycle
owner’s manual for recommended lifting points.)
3. Once positioned under the load, turn the
Lock Bolts (16) until they contact the ground
and lift the Rear Wheels (17) slightly off of
the ground to keep the Lift from rolling.
4. Use Tie-Down Strap(s) (39) to secure the load.
Repeatedly depress the Foot Pedal (27) slowly
to raise the Lift. When the Lift makes contact
with the load, make sure the load sits evenly
on the Lift Saddle (2) before raising the load. If
the load is not evenly distributed on the two
Rubber Pads (3) or not secured in place with
tie-down straps, it may fall from the Lift, resulting
in personal injury and property damage.
5. Continue to raise the Lift to the desired height.
Disengage the Stop Bar Connecting Rod from
the clamp. Lock the Lift at one of the three
locking positions on the Bottom Base (13)
with the Stop Bars (41, 44) and lower Lift
slightly to securely engage the Stop Bars. Not
engaging the Stop Bars may result in serious
injury or death, and damage the Lift.
note: Stop Bars fit behind the welded stops
on both sides of the Bottom Base.

from under the Lift.
2. Depress the Foot Pedal (27) slowly to raise the
Lift enough to disengage the Stop Bars (41,
44). Lift up the Stop Bar Connecting Rod (40)
and secure it to the Stop Bar Rod Clamp (37).
3. Press the Release Pedal (13a) slowly and
gently lower the load. Never allow the load
to come down quickly or suddenly.
4. Once the load is on the ground, remove the tie-down
straps. When the Lift is clear of the load, turn the
Lock Bolts (16) until they are clear of the ground,
allowing the Rear Wheels (17) to firmly contact
the ground. Roll the Lift out from under the load.
5. Clean external surfaces of the Lift with
a clean, dry cloth. Store Lift in dry,
indoor area out of reach of children.
