Sealey MC550 - Manual (Page 2)

5.3 Loading a motorcycle:
5.3.1 lay the lift on a smooth flat surface such as concrete. Press
and hold down the lower pedal to ensure that the ram is fully
retracted and the lift is therefore in its lowest position. Insert
the pins to lock the extension piece.
5.3.2 Hook the loading ramp into the two slots at the end of the
extension piece and allow the free end to rest on the ground.
5.3.3 When the bike is fully on the ramp the front wheel will be
retained in the wheel chock.
5.3.4 the motorcycle must be loaded onto the centre of the loading
ramp. failure to do this could result in the motorcycle falling
from the ramp resulting in serious injury to the operator and/
or damage to the ramp or motorcycle.
5.3.5 ensure the wheel chock is in the ready position to receive
the motorcycle front wheel.
5.3.6 standing beside the motorcycle, push it up the ramp and
all the way up onto the platform. screw the vice in to hold
the motorcycle upright. this is NOT a substitute for securely
tying the motorcycle onto the lift using LOCKING RATCHET
STYLE TIE DOWN STRAPS. Please ensure that the tie
down straps are locked in place and hold the motorcycle
safely on the lift. failure to correctly and safely tie the
motorcycle in place will invalidate the warranty and may
cause injury or death in the event that the motorcycle was to
become dislodged from the lift.
5.4 Correct Tie-down Procedure:
5.4.1 Attach one end of the ratchet tie downs to the handlebars or
fork area. connect the other end of the straps to the forward
outrigger tie-down rings. ratchet the tie-down straps to
compress the motorcycle suspension until the motorcycle is
secure. this will typically require that you compress the front
suspension on your motorcycle to approximately 75% of its
full travel.
5.4.2 secure the rear of the motorcycle in a similar manner using
an attachment point such as the frame, swing arm, passenger
foot rests e.t.c. Attach the other end of the straps to the rear
outrigger tie-down rings, and ratchet until motorcycle is
secure. Again, this will require you to compress the rear
suspension on the motorcycle until there is no possibility that
the motorcycle could become dislodged.
