Autostacker™ Parking Lift 39 P/N 5900248 — Rev. B — May 2021
Raising a Vehicle
This section describes how to position a Vehicle on the Autostacker and raise it.
To raise a Vehicle:
1. Make sure the Platform is fully lowered, then drive the Vehicle onto the Platform.
⚠ CAUTION When driving a Vehicle onto or off of the Platform, keep to the middle of the
Platform. Also, be careful driving onto the Platform with a Vehicle that has wet tires,
it can be difficult for the wheels to gain traction.
2. Put the Vehicle’s forward wheels into the Tire Trough. The wheels
must
be in the Tire Trough.
3. Put the Vehicle in park, put on the parking brake, and turn off the Vehicle.
If the Vehicle is a manual transmission, put it into first gear before turning off the Vehicle.
4. Get out of the Vehicle and make sure the forward wheels are securely in the Tire Trough.
If the forward wheels are not situated correctly in the Tire Trough, get back into the Vehicle and
reposition the wheels; the Rear Wheels
must
fit on the Platform or Drive-up Ramp.
5. Double check that there are no obstructions that will interfere with the raising of the Lift.
6. At the Console, insert your key, turn it to On, then press and hold the Up button.
7. Watch the Vehicle and the Lift as they rise.
If the Lift becomes unstable or the Vehicle starts moving on the Platform, press the red
Emergency Stop button.
8. When the Platform passes the desired height, release the Up button.
9. Press the Down button to move the Lift down onto the most recently passed Safety Lock.
Tip If you move the Lift too far past a Safety Lock, it will
not
catch on the way back down. If
this happens, simply move the Lift back up again, just past the Safety Lock, and then
lower it back down onto the Safety Lock.
The Safety Lock heights are:
– Top Safety Lock: 81.25" / 6.9' / 2,066 mm of space under Platform
– Second Safety Lock: 75.25" / 6.3' / 1,911 mm of space under Platform
– Third Safety Lock: 68.5" / 5.9' / 1,741 mm of space under Platform
– Fourth Safety Lock: 61" / 5.1' / 1,549 mm of space under Platform
– Lowest Safety Lock: 52" / 4.4' / 1,326 mm of space under Platform
Using the top Safety Lock frees up more space for the Vehicle you are parking under the Platform;
using the lowest Safety Lock frees up more space for the Vehicle you are parking on the Platform.
Note: Depending on the installation, these figures can vary 1/2 an inch in either direction. If your
measurements indicate that your Vehicle is too close to these heights, raise the Lift to the
next Safety Lock. If the Platform is already on the highest Safety Lock, and there is still not
enough space available,
you cannot park that particular Vehicle underneath the
Platform
