MANUAL LOWERING OF LIFT
If your lift is in a raised position and you
lose power it is important to know how to
lower the lift manually. Make sure
nothing is under the lift and all unautho-
rized personnel are away from the lift area.
1.) Place a hydraulic jack and pipe under
the carriage on the master control side.
Jack should be rated to lift the capacity of
the vehicle.
2.) Raise lift off of the locking latch. You
should only have to raise lift approxi-
mately 2mm to disengage the lock.
3.) Remove access panel from the master
control panel (slave control panel for step
6) and pull locking latch back, Fig. 9. If
you can't pull it back with your fingers
then you don't have the latch off of the
lock. Repeat step #2 until lock is
disengaged.
4.) Place a flat piece of steel behind latch
dog and back of column to keep it off of
the lock.
5.) Slowly lower hydraulic jack and pipe
out from under the arm carriage.
6.) Repeat procedures 1 through 5 on slave
control panel column.
7.) The lift is now being held up by
hydraulics at this point
8.) Remove cap from lowering valve and
press to lower lift, Fig. 9. The lift will
lower at a slow speed. Replace cap on
lowering valve after lift has been lowered.

operate when you regain power.

have a certified electrican check wiring to
lift or call an authorized service represen-
tative
