2.2  Working Principle 
l  Lifting mechanism: The hydraulic cylinder is 
located below the cylinder runway. When the 
hydraulic oil enters the front cavity of the cylinder, 
the piston moves backward so that the left and 
right runways will be moved upward at the force of 
the cables. 
l  Support Mechanism: The cylinder runway and the 
right runway are installed on the cross tubes as a 
part of the supporting platform. When the 
vehicle is driven onto the runways, the wheels 
should be positioned on the central line of the 
runways. The rolling jack can be placed at a 
suitable position between the runways. Adapters 
of different length can be used according to the 
height of the chassis. 
l  Balance mechanism: 4 synchronization cables 
work together to keep the balance while lowering 
and lifting. The threaded end of the cable is 
fastened on top of the columns and the cables 
should be adjusted for same tension. 
l  Safety protection mechanism: 4 locking latch 
plates are located in the back of columns. The 
safety locking latches and slack cable devices are 
located in the ends of cross tubes. While the 
runway goes up, the safety locking latch rises 
together against the locking latch plate at the force 
of the spring in the air cylinder. When the 
runway stops, the safety locking latch will insert 
into the slot of latch plate to prevent the runway 
from falling. For lowering the lift, when the 
locking latches rest on the plates, it must be 
raised enough for all 4 latches to clear the latch 
plates slots inside the columns. Actuate the air 
control valve to disengage all 4 locking latches 
and push the lowering handle on the power unit to 
lower the lift. 
l  Cable slack or broken protection: During the 
raising and lowering the lift, the equal tension 
cables will press the slack cable roller to 
disengage the latches. If the cable is slack or 
breaks, the slack cable device will insert into the 
slot of locking latch plate to ensure the safety. 
(Fig. 3) 
l  Safe travel distance: The safety locking latch is 
kept active from the height of 270mm to 1900mm. 
l  Leveling preset: 4 adjustment nuts at top plates of 
the columns can be adjusted to level the runways. 
(Fig. 4). 
l  Rolling jack mechanism (440W) : The jack cylinder 
is located in the scissor lift. When the hydraulic 
oil reaches the lower cavity of the cylinder, the 
piston will move forward, forcing the shaft to push 
the scissor table upward. 
l  There is a locking latch in the rolling jack (440W) : 
When the jack goes up high enough, the locking 
latch will be engaged. To lower the rolling jack, 
raise jack and release locking latch by lifting 
release handle, and then press lowering valve.
