5. OPERATION

5.1 Raise And Lower Lift


Prevent serious injury or death.

Before operating lift, all personnel interacting with lift must read,
understand and follow instructions and safety warnings in this manual.

Adjusting safety relief valve may result in premature motor failure.

Do not adjust safety relief valve.


Raising loads exceeding rated capacity of lift may result in excessive wear and damage to lift.


Prevent serious injury or death.

Personnel must maintain a safe operating distance of at least 36” any time
lift is operated.


1. Verify all personnel are away from lift.

2. Press “UP” button to raise lift. Release button when lift

reaches desired position.

Do not operate lift on relief for more than a
few seconds. When on relief, valve will
make a squealing sound.


3. Press "DOWN" button to lower lift. Release button when lift

reaches desired position.


4. For lifts supplied with throw-over bridges, make sure

bridges are in the stored (raised) position prior to raising or
lowering the lift, and when backing up trucks for
loading/unloading - to ensure that the bridges will clear all
possible obstructions and contact with a moving truck.


Note: Bridges that hang below 45 degrees are in violation of ANSI Standard MH29.1-2012 paragraph
4.12.2 which states “When a hinged bridge is in its fully lowered position and not resting on a truck bed
or landing, it should hang down at an angle not to exceed approximately 45 degrees from horizontal.…”
Autoquip’s standard is to allow 20° of drop below horizontal.
