USE PROPER LIFTING TECHNIQUES
The Backyard Buddy Lifts have components that weigh beyond 300 lbs. At least one
assistant is required to assist with lifting heavy components. Three assistants (4 total
people) and/or material handling equipment is preferred.
Improper installation can accelerate wear, resulting catastrophic failure which may cause
property damage and/or bodily injury. Advantage Lifts assumes no liability for loss or damage of any
kind, expressed or implied, resulting from improper installation or use of this product. Read this
installation manual in its entirety before attempting to install or operate the lift.
STEP 1: Selecting a Site
Before installing your new lift, check for the following.
Overhead Obstructions:
The area where the lift will be located should be free of overhead obstructions such as heaters,
building supports, electrical lines, lighting, garage door rails/openers etc. Calculate the lift height
based on the full raised height of the lift plus the vehicle height. Measure and check for clearance.
Failure to do so may cause personal injury or property damage.
Electrical Requirements:
0This lift uses an electrically driven hydraulic Power Unit. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions
supplied in the Power Unit box. Wiring must be performed by a qualified electrician and meet local,
state, and national requirements. Disconnect power from the lift before performing maintenance.
Follow proper lockout/tagout procedures while servicing. The Power Unit requires a dedicated 120
VAC 60Hz 20-amp single phase circuit. Improper installation may damage the Power Unit which is
not covered under the warranty. Never expose the Power Unit to any water or damp environment,
this will void the warranty.
