STEP 10: Pre-Operation and Maintenance Checks
Follow lock out/tag (ANSI Z244.1 reccomended) during maintaince. The owner shall maintain inspection and
maintenance records. It is recommended to follow inspection and maintenance record standards.
The most common cause of hydraulic system malfunction or failure is contamination of the hydraulic fluid.
The hydraulic system (hose and pipe, cylinders, valves, etc.) must be clean to prevent contamination
problems.
For unusual vehicles (limousines, RV’s, long wheelbases, short wheelbases, etc.) contact Advantage Lifts
for loading instructions.
If Lift Does Not Rise
Check hose connections. Fluid should be pumping through hoses. Check fluid level. Run the lift up and
down a few times to make sure the safety latches are engaging uniformly and that the safety latch release is
functioning properly. Readjust if necessary.
When lowering
When lowering the lift PAY CAREFUL ATTENTION. ALWAYS make sure that all FOUR SAFETY LATCHES
are disengaged. If one of the latches locks on descent STOP immediately and rise until it is clear of the stop
and adjust the Heim end on that latch.
