How did we get our start?
Orion Motor Tech began with a passion for cars. We started out by maintaining family cars in
our home garage but quickly found that affordable quality tools are hard to come by. That’s why
we made it our mission to put durable tools in the hands of do-it-yourself repairmen—so you
can get the job done right.
What makes our products unique?
We have a wide inventory of quality automotive tools and parts, covering almost all makes and
models. As a professional manufacturer, we are driven to make top-quality products affordable
for both professional and amateur mechanics.
Why do we love what we do?
We’re still in love with cars—just like we were back in that old family garage. We hope to pass
that passion on to all our customers, and we still believe in our old motto: You don’t need more
cars in your life. You need more life in your car.

Lifting the Vehicle
• Before lifting, shut off the engine, engage the parking brake (or hand brake),
and chock the remaining wheels. Ensure the vehicle is stationary and the engine has
cooled to room temperature before performing maintenance or adjustments.
• ALWAYS use the correct tools and personal protective equipment (PPE) before performing
any operation. Be extremely careful with possible pinching points, moving parts, or parts
that may suddenly spring out.
• ALWAYS ensure the vehicle is secure when it is supported by a jack or lift.
• For your safety, we recommend completing training before using the tool. Serious injury
could happen due to a lack of training.
• NEVER work under a lifted vehicle unless it is properly supported. ALWAYS use additional
support.
• DO NOT raise the lift without a load, otherwise it may not lower.
• DO NOT remove the vehicle’s tires while lowering the lift to the ground.
1. Raise the lift to 8–12 in (200–300 mm) without load, cycle up and down until both sides are
level.
• If both sides are not level, the vehicle may become unstable and fall from the lift platform,
which could damage the vehicle, damage the lift, and endanger personal safety.
• DO NOT raise the lift to the maximum height without load. If it is accidentally raised to
the top, a load over 77 lb (35 kg) must be placed on the lift before it can be fully lowered.
2. Place the lift under the vehicle.
3. Place the rubber blocks (Q or R) in the grooves, aligning them with the center of the support
seams.
Position each rubber block under
the vehicle at the support points
specified by the manufacturer,
and ensure the hydraulic hoses
are not crushed.

Troubleshooting
Problems Usual Solutions
The lift fails to raise the vehicle.
Ensure the solenoid unloading valve is in the closed
state. If you can’t turn it clockwise, it is closed.
Check whether the oil pump makes an operating
sound. If there is no sound, contact a qualified
technician for service.
Ensure the oil hoses are not kinked or leaking.
Ensure there is sufficient hydraulic oil in the tank.
Ensure the power unit is properly connected to the
power supply and the voltage is neither too low nor
too high.
Refer to step 8 of Adding the Hydraulic Oil on
Page 11 to bleed the oil hoses.
The lift fails to lower the vehicle.
Make sure the lift is not unloaded.
Contact a qualified technician to check whether the
hose fittings, valve, and other components are blocked
by foreign matter. If so, clean them thoroughly and
replace the supplied O-rings and filter rings
Check whether the oil pump makes an operating
sound. If there is no sound, contact a qualified
technician for service.
Contact a qualified technician to check whether the
solenoid unloading valve is operating properly.
Ensure that the locking teeth mechanism is fully
released.
The pump has no pressure.
Contact a qualified service technician to repair the
pump.
The pump cannot maintain pressure.
16
Problems Usual Solutions
The lift is stuck at the highest point
and cannot be lowered when there is
no load.
Place a heavy object on the lift and lower it.
The hydraulic oil is contaminated.
Disconnect power and lower the lift completely.
Remove the cap and drain all the oil. Refill the tank
using 46# hydraulic oil.
The lift generates abnormal noise
during operation.
Apply grease to the specified lubrication points.
The lift slowly lowers without control.
Ensure the solenoid unloading valve is in the closed
state. If you can’t turn it clockwise, it is closed.
Ensure the locking teeth mechanism is locked.
Quick couplers become harder to
connect.
The hydraulic system pressure builds up. To prevent
this, after the frame reaches the ground, hold
⇩
on the
pendant control for a few seconds to allow as much
oil as possible to return to the tank.
If pressure builds up excessively and quick couplers
cannot be connected, contact a qualified service
technician to repair the lift.
The lift raises unevenly on both sides.
With no load, raise the lift frame to 8–12 in (200–300
mm) and cycle it up and down several times until both
sides are level. If the sides are still not level, bleed the
pump station again and then repeat the procedure.
If the problem persists, the flow divider valve may be
blocked or damaged. Contact a qualified technician for
cleaning or repair.
