5. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! ensure that you read, understand and apply the

safety instructions before use.
WARNING! DO NOT attempt to overload the lift.

5.1 Position the lift in a suitable area, checking that the surface on
which the lift will stand is solid and flat (preferably concrete).
5.2 Bleeding the system: Whilst removing the oil filler plug from
the ram the lift must have the safety locking locking bar
engaged. Remove the locking bar pin shown in fig.2B. Using the
raise pedal (see fig.1A), raise the platform until the locking
bar rides over the first locking bar stop (see fig.2). Press the
lower pedal (see fig.1B) and allow the locking bar to
settle fully against the stop.
5.2.1 Remove the oil filler cap from the side of the ram as shown in
fig.1C.
5.2.2 raise the lift slightly so that the locking bar is no longer under
pressure. Using the locking bar lever (see fig.2C) raise the
locking bar to the horizontal position and insert the locking bar
pin. Press the lower pedal (see fig.1B) and allow
the lift to settle to its lowest position so that the ram is fully
retracted.
5.2.3 fully open the release valve by depressing and holding down
the lower pedal (see fig.1B). Now pump the foot pedal 6 to 8
strokes. this will help release any pressurised air which may be
trapped within the reservoir.
5.2.4 raise the platform again, engage the safety locking bar and
reinstall the oil filler plug.
5.2.5 check to ensure that the pump operates smoothly before
putting into service. lubricate as instructed in the Maintenance
section.
5.2.6 Inspect before each use. do not use if any bent, broken or
cracked components are noted.
