2.3 Load Capacity

Load capacity rating is stamped on a metal nameplate attached to lift. This figure is a net capacity rating
for a lift furnished with a standard platform. If optional items are installed on lift after leaving
manufacturer, deduct weight of these from load rating to obtain net capacity.

Do not exceed rated capacity of lift. Loading lift beyond its rated capacity is unsafe, will shorten
operational life of lift, and will void warranty.

2.4 Unbalanced Loading

The stabilization provided is basically for balanced loads. If special attachments extend beyond the
length and/or width dimensions of platform, end and/or side load capacity is reduced 2% for each one-
inch extension from edge of platform. If load is rolling onto platform (in any but fully-lowered position) end
and/or side load capacity is reduced by dividing the rated end/side load by 1.50 to establish an available
“axle” load.

2.5 Pump Pressure

This lift incorporates a unique, positive displacement pump. Therefore, standard factory models of same
manufacture cannot replace it.

Pump can operate efficiently at intermittent pressures up to 3200 PSI and continuous duty to 2500 PSI.
The factory installed safety relief valve is factory-set to stay within parameters of pump and lift
requirements.

2.6 Lift Duty

It is the responsibility of the user to notify Autoquip whenever a specific application is likely to demand
“above normal” duty from lift. Above normal duty typically requires supplemental design features to
enhance serviceable life of lift and to avoid loss of warranty.
