hold the motorcycle safely on the Lift. Failure to correctly and safely tie
the motorcycle in place will void your lift warranty and may cause injury or
death in the event that the motorcycle was to become dislodged from the
lift.
Correct Tie-Down Procedure
In order to safely use the Kendon Motorcycle Lift, locking type ratchet tie
downs must be used on the front and rear of the motorcycle. This will ensure
that the bike is safely secured to the lift.
1. From handlebars or fork area, using Kendon (or similar) locking ratchet
tie-downs, connect the tie-down straps to the forward outrigger tie-down
rings/hooks. Ratchet the tie-down straps to compress the motorcycle
suspension until motorcycle is secure. This will typically require that you
compress the front suspension on your motorcycle to approximately 75%
of its full travel (Note: Do not over tighten the tie downs as to not blow out
fork seals and cause damage to bike).
2. From a rear motorcycle frame attachment point (i.e. frame, swing arm,
passenger foot pegs) using Kendon locking ratchet tie-downs (or similar),
secure the motorcycle to rear outrigger tie-down rings/hooks, and ratchet
until motorcycle is secure. Again, this will require you to compress the
rear suspension on your motorcycle until there is no possibility that the
motorcycle could become dislodged.
Raising and Lowering your Kendon Lift
DO NOT insert any body parts (e.g., fingers, arms, etc.) within the interior
frame of the lift while raising or lowering your Kendon Motorcycle Lift.
Raising the Lift
1. Your motorcycle is now on the Lift platform and the wheel chock is in the
closed position, holding the motorcycle upright. Now you can safely raise
the Lift using either a compressor or the hand pump lever.
2. Close the Release Valve by turning the Release Valve Assembly to the
right.
