pressurized air which may be trapped within the reservoir. Ensure the oil level
is just below the oil filler plug hole. Reinstall the oil filler plug.
ADDING OIL
1) With ram fully lowered and pump piston fully depressed, set jack in its
upright, level position. Carefully remove from lift. Remove oil filler
plug.
2) Fill until oil is level with the filler plug hole. Reinstall oil filler plug.
CHANGING OIL
For best performance and longest life, replace the complete fluid supply at least
once per year. Remove the cylinder from the lift and follow this procedure:
1) With ram fully lowered and pump piston fully depressed, remove the oil
filler plug.
2) Lay the jack on its side and drain the fluid into a suitable container.
3) Set jack in its level upright position.
4) Fill with good quality jack oil. We recommend Mobil DTE 13 or
equivalent.
LUBRICATION
1) A coating of light lubricating oil to pivot points and hinges will help to
prevent rust and assure that pump assemblies move freely.
2) Periodically check the pump piston and ram for signs of rust or
corrosion. Clean as needed and wipe with an oily cloth.

Using the Lift With the Optional Frame Jack
IMPORTANT – Without the accessory Kendon Frame Jack, the Kendon Stand-
Up™ Bike Lift can be used ONLY while the FRONT and REAR of the
motorcycle are BOTH securely connected to the Lift using Locking Ratchet-
style tie-downs. Do NOT attempt to raise or lower the motorcycle on the lift
UNLESS you use the specially designed Kendon Frame Jack. Failure to follow
these directions will void the warranty on your Kendon Stand-Up™ Bike Lift and
may cause serious injury or death
LOWERING THE LIFT
CAUTION: DO NOT insert any body parts (e.g., fingers, arms, etc.) within the
interior frame or scissor assembly of the Lift while raising or lowering your
Kendon Stand-Up™ Bike Lift.
1) Release the front Tie-down straps from the Locking Safety Bar. Turn
the Release Valve Knob one-quarter turn to the right to seal the valve.
Raise the Lift slightly (using the hand pump or Air-Over-Hydraulic
Cylinder) and rotate the Locking Safety Bar out of the way.
2) The Kendon Stand-Up™ Bike Lift is lowered by releasing the Air-Over-
Hydraulic Cylinder. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN or OVER-LOOSEN
THE RELEASE VALVE on the Internal Air-Over-Hydraulic Cylinder.
One-quarter turn is sufficient to open or seal the cylinder. The Release
Valve Knob is the assembly that extends from the bottom of the Air-
Over-Hydraulic Cylinder housing to the front of the Lift, located beside
the Pump Handle. This Release Valve Assembly should be turned only
in small increments. You can control the lowering speed of your
Kendon Stand-Up™ Bike Lift by slightly opening and closing the
Release Valve Assembly. If you open it up too much, especially with a
heavy motorcycle secured to the Lift, the Lift will descend quickly. By
“toggling” the Release Valve Assembly open and closed during
descent, you can safely control the rate of descent as your Kendon
Stand-Up™ Bike Lift is lowered to remove the motorcycle from the Lift.
3) In the event that you wish to slow or stop the descent of the Lift, simply
turn the Release Valve Assembly to the right and the Jack will be
sealed and the Lift will stop its descent.
4) Insert the ramp into the rear folding section of the Lift.
5) When you release the Tie-Down straps the motorcycle will jump or shift
somewhat. It is best to have an assistant holding the handlebars of the
motorcycle to keep it stable at the moment that the Tie-Down straps
are released.
6) After releasing the Tie-Down straps, pull the motorcycle out of the
wheel chock, and roll the motorcycle off of the Lift. NOTE – removing
the front wheel of the motorcycle from the Wheel Chock is very easy.
However, you may feel more comfortable with this procedure after you
have practiced a few times. We STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you
