Overview

This document describes the Black Widow 3000 Lbs. Capacity Vehicle Lift, identified by part number CARLIFT-3000. It serves as an instruction manual, outlining general guidelines, safety precautions, operational steps, and warranty information for the product.

Function Description

The Black Widow 3000 Lbs. Capacity Vehicle Lift is designed to elevate vehicles for maintenance and repair tasks. It consists of two ramps that are hydraulically operated by a foot pump, allowing users to raise a vehicle's axle to a working height. The system incorporates safety features, such as a safety plate, to secure the vehicle in the raised position. The lift is intended for use in environments where vehicle elevation is required, such as garages or workshops, to provide better access to the undercarriage of a vehicle.

Important Technical Specifications

  • Capacity: The lift has a total capacity of 3,000 lbs. per axle. Each individual ramp has a capacity of 1,500 lbs. It is crucial not to exceed these weight limits to ensure safe operation and prevent damage to the lift or injury.
  • Operation: The lift is operated by a hydraulic foot pump. This manual operation provides control over the lifting process.
  • Safety Mechanism: A safety plate is integrated into the design to secure the ramps in the raised position, preventing accidental lowering.
  • Components: The system includes two ramps, connecting hoses, and a hydraulic foot pump.

Usage Features

The usage of the Black Widow Vehicle Lift involves a straightforward, multi-step process:

  1. Setup: The ramps must be aligned with their hoses facing each other, and the foot pump placed between them. The red caps on the hoses need to be removed, and the hoses connected to the hydraulic pump.
  2. Vehicle Positioning: The ramps are then placed in front of the vehicle's tires. The vehicle is slowly driven onto the ramps, ensuring proper alignment.
  3. Lifting: The foot pump is used to raise the ramps. During this process, a safety plate must be flipped into position using a Safety Plate Tool. It is explicitly stated that hands should not be used for this step to prevent injury.
  4. Lowering: To lower the ramps, the release knobs on the hydraulic pump must be slowly loosened simultaneously. This ensures a consistent and controlled descent. Users are warned to keep all body parts clear during the lowering process.
  5. Safety Precautions:
    • Always read and follow all instructions.
    • Keep the instructions with the product and review before each use.
    • The product owner is responsible for providing instructions to anyone borrowing or purchasing the product.
    • Inspect the product before each use to ensure proper assembly, safe working order, and absence of defects.
    • Never modify the product.
    • Use common sense and general safety measures.
    • Keep children and unauthorized persons away from the work area.
    • Wear ANSI approved safety goggles.
    • Always keep hands and feet away from the working area.
    • Do not allow untrained persons to operate the lift.
    • Do not expose the lift to rain or snow.
    • Ensure all safety instructions and warnings are read, understood, and applied.
    • Failure to follow instructions can lead to property damage and/or personal injury.

Maintenance Features

While the manual does not extensively detail long-term maintenance, it highlights a crucial step for optimal performance and longevity:

  • Lubrication: Before initial use, and presumably periodically thereafter, the screw and nuts of the lift should be lubricated with grease. This action is specified to "reduce friction," which is essential for smooth operation and to prevent premature wear of these critical components.
  • Inspection: Regular inspection of the product before each use is mandated to ensure it is assembled properly, all parts are in safe working order, and it is free of defects. This proactive approach helps identify potential issues before they lead to malfunction or safety hazards.
  • Storage: Although not explicitly detailed, the warning "Do not expose the lift to rain or snow" implies that proper storage in a dry, protected environment is necessary to prevent corrosion and damage, thereby extending the product's lifespan.

Warranty and Liability

The product comes with a General Product Warranty from the Authorized Dealer, covering defects in material and workmanship for one year from the date of accepted delivery. This warranty is non-transferable and applies only to the original end purchaser. It does not cover products purchased through non-authorized dealers. Warranty claims must be made directly to the original place of purchase.
