Autostacker™ Parking Lift 40 P/N 5900248 — Rev. B — May 2021
About Safety Locks
Each Leg Base has five Safety Locks; they serve two important functions:
• Safety. Safety locks hold the Platform in place. Once your Autostacker is on the Safety Lock
Blocks, the weight of the Vehicle pressing down holds the Platform in place without requiring any
energy. If you turn the Power Unit off or if the power goes out, the Safety Locks holds the Platform,
and anything on it, in place.
⚠ WARNING Do not walk under your Autostacker or leave the area until you have confirmed that
both Safety Locks are secured in place. Although rare, it is possible for hydraulic
fluid in the Cylinders to leak, causing the Lift to slowly come down.
When you are
operating an Autostacker, only leave it on the ground or on the
Safety Locks.
• Space. As described above, putting your Autostacker into the top Safety Lock gives you the most
space under the Platform for another Vehicle. When you use the lowest Safety Lock, you have
more available space for a larger Vehicle on the Platform.
To put your Autostacker onto a Safety Lock:
1. Press Up to raise the Platform.
The following drawing shows the Lock Cam and Lock Hood passing over a Lock Block.
The Lock Hood is partway over the Lock Block; the
Lift would
not
go on a Safety Lock at this point.
⚠ WARNING:
Do not walk under the Lift or leave the area until
you have confirmed both Safety Locks are securely
on a locking position. Failure to do so could result
in personal injury and/or product damage
.
2. When the Lock Hood goes past a Lock Block, it makes an audible click when it hits the base.
The following drawing shows the Lock Cam and the Lock Hood at different places in relation to the
Lock Block.
The Lock Hood is at the same level as the Lock
Block; if you were to start backing down at this point,
the Lift
would
go onto a Safety Lock.
3. To use that Safety Lock, keep pressing Up for another half a second, then release Up.
4. Press Down for a few seconds; the Lock Hood moves into a locked position on the Lock Block it
just passed.
