Operation And Use 29
Kwik Bay
The Atlas® Kwik Bay mid-rise is designed to “QUICKLY” raise a vehicle
to a desired height, perform the necessary service work, and then
lower the vehicle to the ground WITHOUT engaging the pneumatic
positive lock bar system. The pneumatic positive locking system will
automatically engage in the unlikely event of a hydraulic failure while
the vehicle is in the air. If the vehicle is to be “stored” on the raised lift
platforms for an extended period of time then the pneumatic positive
lock system needs to be activated (by the user).
When the vehicle service work has been completed and the operator
wants to the lower the vehicle to the ground (or to a lower “locked
position”), please follow these important steps and remember:
IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE LOCK BARS BE COMPLETELY DISENGAGED
WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BEING LOWERED TO THE GROUND. FAILURE TO
FULLY DISENGAGE BOTH LOCK BARS DURING THE LOWERING PROCESS
WILL CAUSE FRAME DAMAGE TO THE LIFT.
When the console’s DOWN Button is pressed (to lower the vehicle), it
is IMPERATIVE for the operator to physically check to make sure that
the lift platforms raise up enough to allow BOTH Blue Safety Lock Bars
to FULLY disengage from the Silver Safety Lock Bars mounted on the
frame. Neither of the Blue Safety Lock Bars should engage the frame’s
silver lock bar if the lift is to be lowered all the way to the ground. THE
POSITIVE LOCK BAR SYSTEM IS PNUEMATICALLY CONTROLLED (air
powered)
If one (but not both) of the blue lock bars should engage before the lift
reaches the ground, (platforms will become unlevel) then damage to the
lift frame may occur.
If the operator does NOT WANT TO LOWER THE VEHICLE ALL THE WAY
TO THE GROUND, (perhaps only a few inches from the current raised
position), then the operator must make sure that both of the Blue
Safety Lock Bars are fully disengaged during the lowering process. After
pressing the “DOWN” button on the remote console, the platforms begin
to move up and the lock bars release (disengage). As the lift platforms
descend to the desired lower locking position (lock bars are disengaged),
the operator should make sure that when the desired position is reached
that both lock bars fully engage the frame’s horizontal Silver Safety Lock
Bars at the same time and at the same position so that the platforms
remain LEVEL.
