4. TRACKS for Rolling Jack and Oil Drain Pan
Inspect rolling jack/oil drain pan tracks for cleanliness, corrosion, excessive wear or damage. Clean dirty
tracks.
WARNING! Worn or damaged tracks must be repaired immediately.
Failure to do so will lead to reduced service life which could result in property damage and/or personal injury.
5. Latch Inspection and Adjustment
Check locking latches for proper operation. Inspect for worn or missing parts. Replace worn or damaged parts
and adjust as required.
1. Latches
Check latch operation on all four corners.
2. Latch and Latch Bar Line-Up
Observe locking latches during lift operation to ensure that all latches line up with slots in latch bar located in all
four columns. If not, relocate and/or re-shim columns.
1. Check slack cable devices for proper operation. Inspect for worn or missing parts. Replace worn or
damaged parts as required.
2. Observe both locking latches and slack cable devices during lift operation to ensure that all latches line
up with slots in latch bar located in all four columns.
Cable Adjustment
1. Initial Adjustment
Adjust cable with lift fully lowered. Loosen jam nut and tighten nut on cable stud on top of column until yoke end
is raised 1/4” (6.4 mm) and back off nut one turn. Retighten jam nut. Repeat for all four cables.
2. Final Adjustment
a. Load a typical vehicle on lift.
b. Raise lift as high as it will travel (full height). You should hear the locking latches click through all latch
slots simultaneously.
c. Lower lift onto top latch position.
d. Check clearance:
e. Starting with the right front column, use a straight edge to mark the position of the yoke bottom on the
column.
f. Raise lift to full height again. Mark second position. If gap between two marks is less than 2”, adjust
locking latch bar to reach clearance of 2”. Repeat for the other three columns.
g. Adjust locking latch bar adjusting nut so that the bottom of the topmost latch bar slot is at least 2” below
locking latch. After adjustment, tighten jam nut underneath column top plate, Fig. 11.
