American Automobile Lift Instructions

Working on a car can sometimes be inconvenient, especially if the parts that need replacing or examining are underneath the vehicle and too close to the ground to easily access. Elevating the car with an automobile lift is one way to get at many automotive problems without twisting your arm and craning your neck to see whats happening. Fortunately these lifts arent hard to use.

Instructions

1

Drive the vehicle onto the lift. Some lifts have rails that you have to park the tires on, while other lifts have a cage that will grab the vehicle by the frame to support its weight. Once the vehicle is in place, put it in park.

2

Press the lift button. This will get the lift moving and it will begin to raise the vehicle up. Keep a careful eye on the vehicle as its lifted to make sure it isnt rocking or tilting, and make sure that its rising steadily rather than jerking up.

3

Stop the lift. Either take your hand off the lift button and the lift will stop, or push the actual stop button once the lift is in place. When the vehicle is in the air and the lift has a good hold of it, youre ready to get to work on the car.
