XPR-9 Series Two-Post Lifts 63 P/N 5900371 — Rev. D2 — May 2023
Raising a Vehicle
This section describes how to raise a Vehicle on your Lift.
⚠ WARNING Never raise a Vehicle whose weight exceeds the rated capacity of the Lift. Do not
leave the controls until the Lift is engaged on a Safety Lock position or fully lowered.
Only trained personnel should raise and lower the Lift.
To raise a Vehicle on the Lift:
1. Make sure all four Lift Arms are on the ground in their full drive-through positions.
2. Check under the Vehicle you are going to raise, check for the type of vehicle frame, and then put
the most appropriate Adapters on the Lift Arms.
If you are lifting a sedan or a Vehicle with a unibody construction, a Screw Lift Pad is generally the
best choice. If you are lifting an SUV, truck, or other Vehicle with a frame construction, a Frame
Cradle Pad is generally the best choice.
⚠ WARNING Always use the Adapter type best suited for the Vehicle you are raising. If you use
the wrong Adapter type, the Vehicle could become unstable.
3. Drive the Vehicle in.
⚠ CAUTION When driving a Vehicle into position, keep to the middle of the area between the
Posts. If you hit a Lift Arm or any other portion of the Lift, you could damage the
Vehicle and/or the Lift.
4. When you are satisfied with the location of the Vehicle, put it in park, put on the parking brake, and
turn off the motor.
If the Vehicle is a manual transmission, put it into first gear before turning off the motor.
5. Get out of the Vehicle; open the doors carefully to avoid banging them on the Lift.
6. Locate the manufacturer’s recommended Lifting Points for the Vehicle you are raising.
If you are unsure where the Lifting Points are, consult Vehicle Lifting Points for Frame Engaging
Lifts, which is available through ALI at www.autolift.org/ali-store/, or the manufacturer of the
Vehicle.
Some vehicles may have the manufacturers’ recommended Service Garage Lift Point locations
identified by a triangle mark on the underside of the vehicle, reference SAE J2184-(Current Edition).
On some vehicles, specific Lifting Points are indicated by a label located on the driver’s side door
jamb.
⚠ WARNING Do not ‘eyeball’ the best location for the Adapters. You must use the
manufacturer’s recommended Lifting Points. If you do not, the Vehicle could
become unstable and fall, which could damage the Vehicle, damage the Lift, or injure
or even kill anyone under the Vehicle.
⚠ WARNING Many specialty or modified Vehicles or Vehicles with unusually short or long wheelbases
cannot be on raised on a Two-Post Frame Engaging Lift. Contact the Vehicle’s
manufacturer for Lifting or Jacking guidance.
