What type of hydraulic fluid should I use?

Refer to the product manual for the recommended hydraulic fluid type.

How do I store the lift?

Store the lift in a dry, covered area when not in use. Fold it for space-saving storage.

Where can I find the serial number?

The serial number is located on a sticker on the lift frame.

How do I bleed the hydraulic system?

Consult the product manual for detailed instructions on bleeding the hydraulic system.

How often should I lubricate the lift?

Lubricate moving parts regularly, especially before and after periods of heavy use. Use a suitable lubricant.

Troubleshooting

Lift does not raise the vehicle.

Check the hydraulic fluid level. If low, add the recommended fluid. Also, inspect for leaks and ensure the pump is functioning correctly.

Lift lowers too quickly.

Check the release valve. It may be loose or faulty. Consult the manual for adjustment or replacement.

Lift is unstable or wobbles.

Ensure the lift is on a level surface. Verify that the vehicle is properly positioned on the lift points. Check for any loose bolts or components and tighten them as necessary.

Hydraulic pump makes unusual noises.

Check the hydraulic fluid level and condition. Air in the system can cause noise; bleed the system if necessary. If the noise persists, it may indicate a pump failure.
