P-9000LT/F Low-Rise Pit Lift 43 P/N 5900022 — Rev. B — Nov. 2019
About Safety Locks
Your Lift comes with multiple Safety Lock positions; they serve two important functions:
• Safety. Safety Locks hold the P-9000LT/F Platforms in place. Once the P-9000LT platforms are
engaged on Safety Locks, the weight of the Vehicle holds the Platforms in place. If the power goes
out or the Hydraulic Hoses are cut or start to leak, the Safety Lock holds the P-9000LT Platforms,
and anything on them, in place.
⚠ WARNING Always leave your P-9000LT/F Platforms engaged Safety Locks or lowered to the
ground. Although rare, it is possible for Hydraulic Fluid in the Hydraulic Cylinders to
leak, causing the Platforms to slowly come down.
Always leave it your Lift
either fully lowered or engaged on Safety Locks.
• Adjustable height. Having multiple Safety Locks means you can raise the Vehicle to just the
right height for the work you are performing.
The following drawing shows the Safety Lock mechanism on one P-9000LT/F Platform.
Not necessarily to scale. Not all components shown. Lock Release Bar is shown by a dashed line so
the Safety Locks can be seen.
The following drawing shows the positions the Lock Bar can be during normal operation.
The three positions are:
• Passing over a Safety Lock. The Platforms are not engaged on Safety Locks when they are
passing over a Safety Lock. You will know when the Lock Bar has passed a Safety Lock by the
loud clank sound it makes.
• Engaged on a Safety Lock. When engaged on Safety Locks, the Lift’s Platforms are secure
and will be held in place by the weight of the Vehicle on the Lift.
• Past a Safety Lock. When the Lock Bar passes a Safety Lock, it is in the right position to be
lowered back down into an engaged position.
