have an assistant to help you during the first few times you take the
motorcycle out of the Wheel Chock.
Pulling the Motorcycle Wheel out of the Wheel Chock
1) With the Tie-Down straps removed, push down on the handlebars of
your motorcycle, slightly compressing the front suspension of the
motorcycle.
2) Pull up and back on the motorcycle handlebars.
3) Keeping your hands on the handlebar brake, squeeze the motorcycle
brake lever as the Wheel Chock rotates backwards. This freezes the
front wheel of the motorcycle at the “balance point” between the closed
position and the open position as the Wheel Chock is rotating
backwards.
4) Pull the motorcycle backwards again, releasing the motorcycle
handlebar brake lever. This will cause the Wheel Chock to rotate into
the full open position and the front wheel of the motorcycle to fall onto
the main Lift rail assembly.
5) Now you can roll the motorcycle off of the Lift.
Standing your Kendon Stand-Up™ Bike Lift for Storage
1) Fully lower the Bike Lift as described above.
2) Remove the Ramp and store it separately.
3) Remove all cords, hoses, tie-down straps etc.
4) Remove the Pump Handle and store it separately.
5) With the Lift now in a horizontal position, fold the folding rear section of
Lift closed and attach the rubber latch to the main frame of the Lift.
6) In the horizontal position, the Lift stands on four feet. Two have rollers;
two do not. The Lift is designed to stand up on the roller feet at the
bottom of the scissor assembly.
7) Rotate the Kendon Stand-Up™ Bike Lift into a standing position by
lifting the non-roller feet (do NOT use the tie-down rings for lifting). Tilt
the Lift onto the rollers and continue standing the Lift upright until the
support at the bottom of the folded rear section of the Lift touches the
floor and Lift is upright standing.
8) To move the Lift, tilt it slightly and roll on the rollers to the storage
location, then tilt the Lift to a vertical, upright position.
9) IMPORTANT – the Lift is designed to stand upright. However, it is
heavy and may be knocked over. It is IMPERATIVE to secure the
upright lift to the wall using a HEAVY DUTY cable. Failure to obey this
warning will void the warranty on your Kendon Stand Up Bike Lift and
may cause serious injury or death.

Putting the Kendon Stand-Up™ Bike Lift Back Down for Use
When it’s time to use your Kendon Stand Up™ Bike lift again, it’s important to
be careful lowering it from the standing position.
1) The Lift weighs over 100 pounds. If you cannot comfortably lift 100
pounds, do NOT attempt to raise or lower the lift to or from the storage
position without assistance. Failure to obey this warning will void the
warranty on your Kendon Stand-Up™ Bike Lift and may cause serious
injury or death.
2) With assistance, tilt the Lift down from standing position by securely
holding the non-roller feet. Rotate the Lift down until all four feet are
securely on the floor. Make sure the Lift is level on a flat concrete or
asphalt surface.
3) Unlatch rear section and unfold.
4) Insert Pump Handle into socket and begin raising lift by cranking the
handle back and forth in a semi-circular motion until reaching desired
height.
5) Unlatch front swing arm height support and align to closest height
notch on front legs of lift.
6) Release air jack air pressure using the valve at front the front of the lift,
using the star shaped knob by turning it to the left, at the same time
inserting the front swing arm height support into nearest height notch
on front legs of lift.
7) Relock air pressure jack with star shaped knob, turning it to the right.
MAINTENANCE
Important: Use only a good grade hydraulic jack oil. Avoid mixing different
types of fluid and NEVER use brake fluid, transmission fluid or motor oil.
Improper fluid can cause premature failure of the jack and the potential for
sudden and immediate loss of load. When used daily with an air compressor,
pour a teaspoon of proper lubricant into the air inlet of the lift control valve.
Connect valve to air supply and squeeze valve lever to operate. This will
evenly distribute lubricant and properly prepare the hydraulic power unit for
use. Periodically check for leaks at air connections. Use thread compound to
repair. Avoid the use of thread tape when possible.
CYLINDER REPAIR
In case cylinder malfunctions, it may be due to air bubbles in the hydraulic
cylinder. In such a case follow this procedure:
With ram fully retracted, locate and remove the oil filler plug. Insert handle into
the handle sleeve, then pump 6 to 8 strokes. This will help release any
