P-9000LT/F Low-Rise Pit Lift 39 P/N 5900022 — Rev. B — Nov. 2019
Test the Lift
Before putting your Lift into normal operation, we recommend raising and lowering it two or three
times. This will test the Lift’s functionality, help you get a feel for how to operate the controls, and help
get any residual air out of the Hydraulic System.
Tip Residual air in the Hydraulic System can cause the Lift to shake, move erratically, or
squeak; this is normal when you first start using the Lift. It will soon stop doing this,
as the Hydraulic System is self-bleeding.
The Ramps do not need to be installed to test the Lift, nor do you need a Vehicle on it.
To test your Lift:
1. Check the area around and above the Lift for obstructions; move them away if you find any.
2. Place the Lift Blocks under the manufacturer’s recommended Lifting Points of the Vehicle.
3. Press and hold Raise.
The Platforms begin rising.
4. When the Platforms move past the first Safety Lock, release Raise.
The Platforms stop rising.
You do not need to engage the Platforms on the Safety Lock.
5. Press and hold Safety Lock Release and Lower.
The Platforms start lowering.
Note: Without the weight of a Vehicle, the Lift may raise or lower slower than it will when it does
have the weight of a Vehicle on it.
6. When the Platforms get to the ground, they will stop; release Safety Lock Release and Lower.
7. Wait for one minute.
⚠ WARNING The Power Unit is not a constant duty motor;
it cannot be run continuously
.
8. Repeat the process, this time raising the Lift to the top Safety Lock and then lowering it back down
to the ground.
9. If the Lift is working without shaking, moving erratically, or squeaking, there is no need to repeat
the procedure.
If the Lift is shaking, moving erratically, or squeaking, repeat the procedure one more time, this
time with a Vehicle on the Lift.
If you continue to have issues, refer to Troubleshooting for assistance.
