Always lift the vehicle using all four adapters. NEVER raise just one end, one corner, or one side of vehicle.
Assure vehicle frame can support it's weight & overhead bar or sensor will contact highest point on the vehicle.
1. Before Loading:

damaged parts.

personnel before the vehicle is positioned onto lift.
• Swing arms out to full drive-thru position.
