9.1 GENERAL OPERATIONAL
PROCEDURE – FIG.5
Warning! Before use, ensure you read,
understand and apply the safety instructions
before use.
Before use, ensure that the motorcycle has a
suitable structure and centre of gravity to
accommodate the stand without damaging the bike.
− DO NOT use the stand if it will foul on the
exhaust, fairing or other vulnerable parts. If
necessary remove any lower fairing and
ensure that the bike is stable on the stand
before operating.
− Before lifting, ensure that there is nothing above
the motorcycle that could be damaged by using
the lift.
− Position the bike in a suitable area, checking that
the surface on which the stand will be placed is
solid and flat (preferably concrete).
− Ensure there is good access and clearance
beneath the bike for the stand.
− Inspect the underside of the motorcycle for
suitable support points, bearing in mind the
centre of gravity of the motorcycle and which
wheel is to be lifted from the ground.
− Place the stand under the motorcycle in the
approximate position required.
− Pump the lift foot pedal to raise the stand until the platform is just in contact with the underside
of the motorcycle. Adjust the position of the stand as necessary and before lifting begins, use
rear support feet to level stand and ensure load is taken away from rear castor wheels, and
that the stand is fully immobilised. Only when stand is unable to move on the wheels can lifting
begin.
− Pump lift foot pedal to lift motorcycle to required height, ensuring that safety lock mechanism is
operating.
− While working on motorcycle ensure that it will remain stable and that the centre of gravity will
not be affected by removing major/heavy components (wheels, engines etc.).
− Warning! DO NOT move the lift while loaded as serious damage, personal injury or
death may be caused.This unit IS NOT designed to transport or move items – It is a lift
ONLY.
− When work is complete, check under the stand to ensure that there are no obstructions and
that it is safe to lower the unit, depress lower foot pedal gently to lower the stand.
− When the stand is fully lowered, ensure that the bike is standing on its wheels and is
supported in the upright position – BEFORE removing the lift.
