What is the correct way to use a car lift?
1 Answers
Drive the vehicle to the designated lifting position on the frame, then align the lift pads with the vehicle's lifting points. Raise the lift slightly without lifting the wheels off the ground, and double-check if the lift pads are properly positioned and secure. Once confirmed, raise the vehicle to the desired height and wait for the machine to automatically lock or manually lock it to ensure safety. The lift arms should be retracted to their minimum length as much as possible. The lift pads should be placed at the center of the vehicle's recommended lifting points and adjusted to ensure even contact. First, raise the lift arms until the pads fully contact the vehicle, then check if the load is securely balanced. Slowly lift the vehicle off the ground to ensure balanced loading, then raise it to the required working height. Release the lift button and lower the vehicle to the safety lock position before performing any maintenance work. Before lowering the vehicle, raise it slightly to disengage the safety locks, then press the descent button to slowly lower the vehicle until the lift arms are at their lowest position. Move the lift arms away and drive the vehicle out. During the lifting or lowering process, always observe whether the lift platform is synchronized. If any abnormalities are detected, stop the operation immediately, inspect, and resolve the issue before resuming use. When lowering the vehicle, first raise the platform slightly to ensure the safety locks are fully disengaged; otherwise, stop the descent. When the lift is not in use for an extended period or overnight, lower the platform to its lowest position, remove the vehicle, and disconnect the power supply.
