use. if the lift appears not to be working properly, follow Bleeding instructions.

The mechanical parts of the Lift, such as the pedal lift and release shafts should be occasionally lubricated with heavy oil or grease.

Protect the Lift Cylinder from dirt or grit when in the raised position. If it becomes dirty, wipe it off with a clean cloth before lowering.

Maintain and store the Lift in a reasonably protected environment.

Do not expose to rain or excess moisture. Protect from salt water or other corrosive materials. If it becomes dirty or contaminated, clean it promptly with clean water or a suitable detergent. If using a pressure washer, be aware that you may remove some paint from the outer surface. Never apply a pressure washer to the seal areas near the pistons or valves. Be sure to lubricate external moving parts after cleaning.

6. If the lift slowly lowers on its own, it may have damaged seals or insufficient oil. First check the oil level. If the level is OK, take the lift to a qualified service technician for seal replacement. Damaged seals may be caused by overloading, or exposure to harmful conditions or inappropriate use of a pressure washer.

note: If the lift can be raised to its highest position, it indicates that there is enough oil. If the lift slowly lowers from this position, it indicates that the problem is likely with the seals.
