Operation and Service Instructions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using your garage equipment basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the
following:
1.
Read and understand all instructions for the lift and all optional accessories.
2.
Inspect the HDML Lifting System daily before use.
3.
Care must be taken as burns can occur from touching hot parts.
4.
Do not operate equipment with a damaged cord or if the equipment has been dropped or
damaged – until it has been examined by a qualified service person.
5. Do not let a cord hang over the edge of the table, bench or counter, or come in contact with hot
manifolds or moving fan blades.
6. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a current rating equal to or more than that of the equipment
should be used. Cords rated for less current than the equipment may overheat. Care should be taken to
arrange the cord so that it will not be tripped over or pulled.
7.
Always unplug equipment from electrical outlet when not in use. Never use the cord to pull the plug
from the outlet. Grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
8.
Let equipment cool completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely around equipment when storing.
9.
To reduce the risk of fire, do not operate equipment in the vicinity of open containers of flammable
liquids (gasoline).
10. Adequate ventilation should be provided when working on operating internal combustion engines.
11. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all parts of body away from moving parts.
12. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use on wet surfaces or expose to rain.
13. Use only as described in this manual. Use only ARI-HETRA optional accessories and attachments.
14. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they
are not safety glasses.
15. Only allow qualified personnel to operate, maintain, service or repair the lift.
16. Never modify the lift or add/use unapproved adapters or optional equipment to/with the lift.
17. Never overload the lift. The rated load is printed on the lift name plate.
18. Never allow anyone to climb on or ride in the vehicle when raised or lowering.
19. Know and follow all local, national and international health and safety regulations.

Robert S. Penenburgh
President
ALL USERS OF THE ARI-HETRA MOBILE LIFTING SYSTEM
As President of AUTOMOTIVE RESOURCES, INC. (ARI), I am writing to you, a valued
customer, to remind you that we believe the ARI-HETRA mobile lifting systems are the finest on the
market. However, like any other industrial tool, our systems perform most effectively and safely when
used in the manner and for the purpose they are designed.
Safety is a major concern at ARI! ARI-HETRA systems are clearly marked with several
warning labels. The Operation and Service Instructions are provided with each system, which describes
explicitly the way in which the equipment should be used.
The ARI-HETRA hoist is a wheel-engagement system. If a user attempts to use the lifts in
any other manner (for example, by lifting the bumpers of a vehicle rather than by the tires), the lift will
not perform properly. Improper use could cause injury to the operator, damage to the vehicle or to the
lifting system itself.
Please stress to your personnel/users the need to follow the instructions on the warning labels
and those contained in the Operation and Service Instructions. ARI-HETRA is designed only for use as
a wheel engagement system and for use with ARI-HETRA optional equipment and accessories.
If wheel-free access is required, please use our adjustable support stands, chassis cross beam
and/or FL forklift adapters, in order to engage the vehicle frame members correctly.
Should you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact your local ARI-HETRA Representative
or if your prefer, you may call me directly.
Sincerely yours,
Robert S. Penenburgh
President

Operation and Service Instructions
5.1
The ARI-HETRA system will provide reliable, efficient service and increase plant productivity. It is essential
that all operators of the ARI-HETRA system be properly trained. Once all lift posts have been tested and are
working satisfactorily, you now can proceed with lifting a vehicle.
5.2
There are several Warnings and/or Safety Precautions that must be exercised at all times:
(a)
The ARI-HETRA system should be used on a solid 3000 psi concrete floor minimum 6"
thick. The floor where the vehicle is to be lifted should be reasonably flat and capable of supporting
the vehicle and the lift.
(b)
Raise each lift post with its hydraulic jack so the post can be moved under the tires of the vehicle.
Position the power box post first (post with electrical power cable) to allow the shortest most
convenient distance to the power source (see Figure F, Page 18).
(c)
Push the lift post forks completely under tire with carriage square to the wheel of vehicle (see Figure
F, Page 18).
(d)
Lower lift to the floor by releasing the hydraulic jack valve. Make sure lifting posts are resting
completely on the floor before lifting the vehicle. This maximizes stability of the lift system and
precludes damage to the hydraulic jack.
(e)
Position all other posts under the remaining wheels. Push the lift column forks completely under the
tire with carriage square to the wheel of vehicle.
(f)
Lift by the rear wheels of a tandem axle vehicle (see Figure F, Page 18). The lifting capacity per axle
is 24,000 pounds for the HDML-6AE, 30,000 pounds for the HDML-8AE and 32,000 pounds for the
HDML-9AE.
If the rear axle load is higher than the rated capacity of the ARI-HETRA lift, two (2) additional lift
posts should be used on the other axle (Section 7.7 Page 27). This will provide 48,000 pounds lifting
capacity at the tandem axle area for the HDML-6AE, 60,000 pounds for the HDML-8AE and 64,000
pounds for the HDML-9AE.
WARNING
Do not exceed rated capacity of each lift post, as indicated on the identification label.

Support Stands
9.1
For each ARI-HETRA system, one (1) or more sets of stands may be needed. The actual number of sets
required varies with plant’s productivity objectives, plant layout and manpower resources.
9.2
A set of stands consists of four (4) units; each stand has a rated capacity complimentary to the ARI-HETRA
system. In use, i.e. HDML-6AE provides 12,000 pounds of lift at each post. Stands have a rated capacity of
15,000 pounds each. A set of stands is placed in position when a vehicle is raised by the ARI-HETRA system.
When the stands are in position, the ARI-HETRA system is free for use on another vehicle.
WARNING
9.3
Do not exceed rated capacity of each stand (15,000 pounds).
Positioning Stands: To determine the proper support points on the vehicle, refer to the manufacturer’s manual
for that particular vehicle.
WARNING
Do not use support points which, under vehicle weight, might break or collapse.
Move a set of stands into position and raise each stand as high as possible to the nearest pin hole. Insert pin.
WARNING
Make sure pins are fully inserted through both holes before lowering vehicle on stand.
A channel steel section is provided at the top of each stand. The lifting point of the vehicle should lay flat on
this channel and all three (3) legs of the stand should be in contact with the floor surface.
9.4
The support point on the vehicle must be flat. Do not use on sloping or irregular surface,
which may topple the stand(s) when vehicle is lowered onto stand(s).
Lower vehicle onto stands: With all stands in position, lower vehicle onto stands one (1) lift at a time by selecting 'SINGLE' post mode on the touch keypad. LED lights will blink. Operate each one of the posts independently, to make contact with individual stand at the support point. To remove the lifting posts, select 'MULTI'
post mode on the keypad and lower the carriages completely down before moving lift post.
CAUTION
Do not move lift post with carriage raised. A lift post with a raised carriage is top-heavy
and could tip over.
With carriages lowered, disconnect cables, leave cable plugged into control box and wrap cable around
control box. Operate hydraulic pump handle to raise lift post unit. Lift post is now ready to move.

The safety wedge engagement finger on each post must be released while lowering. Push inward on
the finger on the top of the safety wedge to release (see Figure X, Page 50).
Gently apply downward pressure on the manual release tool. The lifting carriage will lower. Control
the descent by modulating pressure on the release tool.
Allow the lift to lower no more than 1' at a time. Repeat this operation at each post until the lift is
completely lowered. Use extreme caution to prevent vehicle from being tilted to excessive angles or
allowing the lift to touch the vehicle.
We recommend that this lowering method be tried before an electrical failure occurs in order to
become familiar with its operation.

Operation and Service Instructions
Purpose and Scope
The purpose of this procedure is to prevent injury to employees, operators or maintenance personnel from unexpected start-up, energizing or release of stored energy from the lift system during repair, servicing or maintenance.
This standard specifies the minimum locking, tagging, clearing and trying procedure necessary to prevent injury from an inadvertent start-up, or release of energy or material. Read and understand standard ANSI Z244.1 – 2003 Safety Requirements for the Lockout/Tagout of Energy Sources.
16.2
Steps to Follow:
Step 1 - Preparation For Shutdown – Personnel authorized to Lockout/Tagout the lift
system shall notify all affected personnel in the area that the lift system will be Locked/Tagged out.
Step 2 – Equipment Shutdown – The equipment shall be shut down by lowering any vehicle and turning the Main Control Switch to "off" or ‘0’. The Main Control Switch is the red/yellow switch attached to the power box (see figure CC page 68).
Step 3 – Equipment Isolation – Turn off supply power at the Facility/Building Main Disconnect Box. Remove the Main Power Cord from the supply power receptacle. The Main Power Cord is
connected to the power box.
Step 4 – Application of Lockout/Tagout Device – Locks/Tags shall be applied to the isolation device. All personnel working on the lift shall be responsible for attaching a personal lock onto the Main Control Switch or Building Main Disconnect box, without exception (see fig DD page 68).
Step 5 – Stored Energy – After applying Locks/Tags to the energy isolation devices, all potentially hazardous stored or residual energy must be relieved, blocked, bled, restrained or rendered safe.
Step 6 – Verification of Isolation – Prior to starting repair, service or maintenance work and after isolation and Lockout/Tagout, verify the lift is de-energized by pressing the lift "up/down" buttons
and confirm that it does not move and the Digital Display Readout is blank.
Step 7 – Release from Lockout/Tagout Control – Prior to restoring energy/power to the lift, remove all tools, replace all covers/guards and ensure that all personnel are clear and informed that energy/power will be restored to the lift system. Then, the Main Power Cord can be plugged into the
supply power receptacle, Locks/Tags can be removed and the Main Disconnect Power can be
restored.

Operation and Service Instructions
16.3
Maintenance inspections should be performed every (90) days. To facilitate this inspection service, refer to the
quarterly service inspection checklists (starting page 71). A service log should be maintained.
16.4
The purpose of these inspections is to ensure the continued safe operations of the ARI-HETRA lifts. In
addition, the inspections are to maintain the proper lubrication on the lifting ball nut, wheels and hydraulic
pump. Any part(s) found damaged or worn should be replaced immediately.
(a)
Lifting Ball Nut-Lubrication: Raise the carriage halfway with the "up" button. Remove the black front
cover plate of the carriage. Remove the two (2) phillips screws on the top of the beam to remove the protective cover. The “lifting ball nut” grease fitting is in the middle of the limit switch mounting plate (see Figure
EE, Page 70). Use a hand operated grease gun to apply only three (3) shots of automotive type grease into the
lifting ball nut grease fitting. DO NOT over lubricate or use air operated grease guns.
(b)
Roller: The rollers inside the carriage are equipped with self-lubricating bushings. Check the rollers
for worn or damaged bushings and thrust bearings.
(c)
Bottom Bearing: The bottom bearing is located behind the protective cover at the base of the drive
screw. Remove the two (2) phillips screws at the bottom of the beam that holds the protective cover. Inspect
for wear.
(d)
Front Wheels: The front wheels have grease fittings on one side near the axle. Apply grease with a
grease gun until the grease appears near the axle.
(e)
(f)
Hydraulic Jack: Check the oil level of the hydraulic pump (see Figure FF, Page 70). Be sure the
hydraulic lift is in the lowered position and not engaged. Remove oil plug/screw. The oil level should be 1"
below the hole. If oil is required, use automotive transmission fluid.
(g)
Safety Wedge Finger: Check the safety wedge with the lift in the lowered position. Operate the “up”
button and visually check that the safety wedge finger engages in each hole while traveling in the “up” direction. Keep safety devices clean of debris and lubricate with a light spray oil.
Pivot Assembly: The pivot assembly may be raised up and greased if necessary.
WARNING
If the safety wedge finger does not engage in every hole, the safety wedge is not
operatating properly and the lift should not be used until the problem is resolved.
(h)
Limit Switch: Test all limit switches for proper operation.
(i)
Connection Cables: Inspect cable jacket and connectors for damage.
