TOOL USE AND CARE
1.
2.
Store idle tools and equipment out of reach of children and other untrained
people. Tools and equipment are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain the Motorcycle Lift with care. Keep this product clean. A properly
maintained tool is easier to control. Do not use damaged tools and equipment. Tag
damaged tools and equipment “Do not use” until repaired.
3.
4.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, loose or broken parts,
and any other condition that may affect the Motorcycle Lift’s operation.
If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained tools and equipment.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suitable for one product may become hazardous
when used on another product.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
1.
2.
Maintain labels and nameplates on the Motorcycle Lift. These carry important
information. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replace-
ment.
Use the right product for the job. There are certain applications for which this
product was designed. Do not use this product for a purpose for which it was not
intended.
3.
4.
Industrial applications must follow OSHA requirements.
Prior to using this product, make sure to read and understand all
instructions and safety precautions as outlined in the motorcycle
manufacturer’s manual.
5.
WARNING! Do not exceed the 1,200 pound maximum lifting capacity of this
tool. Exceeding the maximum lifting capacity could cause personal injury and/or
property damage. Beware of dynamic loading! Suddenly dropping a load onto this
product may create, for a brief instant, an excess load which may result in damage
to the product and/or personal injury.
6.
7.
Use the Motorcycle Lift only on a flat, level, solid surface capable of support-
ing the weight of the Lift and the weight of the object being lifted.
Make sure any load being supported by this Motorcycle Lift is well balanced
and centered over the Lift. Unbalanced loads may cause the lift to tip over, po-
tentially causing serious personal injury and/or property damage.
8.
Stay clear of the Motorcycle Lift when in motion. Never go under an object be-
ing supported by the Lift unless the Safety Bar (11) is in place. Always use the
Safety Bar to lock the Lift when in its up position.
9.
This Motorcycle Lift is not designed to be used for aircraft purposes.
10.
Always make sure the object being lifted is properly and safely secured to the
Motorcycle Lift prior to raising the object.
11.
WARNING! Do not operate a motorcycle in a closed area or a poorly ventilated
area. When running, the engine of a motorcycle produces carbon monoxide, a
colorless, odorless, toxic fume that, when inhaled, can cause serious personal
injury or death.
12.
13.
Always monitor the object being lifted so it does not rock back and forth.
Never exceed the maximum working air pressure of 125 PSI for this Motorcycle
Lift. Doing so may cause personal injury and/or property damage.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1.
WARNING! Do not exceed the maximum lifting capacity of this tool (1,200
pounds). Exceeding the maximum lifting capacities could cause personal injury
and/or property damage.
2.
3.
Make sure the Platform (8) is fully collapsed to the floor. Also, make sure the Remov-
able Plate (9) is properly positioned over the inspection hole of the Platform (8).
With assistance, roll the motorcycle up the Ramp (10) and onto the Platform (8)
until its front wheel contacts the Stop Plate (1). Then, kick the center stand of the
motorcycle down to stabilize it on the Lift.
4.
5.
Adjust the Vise assembly (4, 6, 7), and clamp the bottom of the front motorcycle
wheel into the Vise assembly. Then, resecure the Vise assembly to the Platform
(8). You should also stabilize the motorcycle using tie-down straps (not included) on
each side of the motorcycle with one end of the straps tied to the motorcycle and
the other end of the straps tied to the Platform (8).
Connect the air compressor’s hose to the Foot Valve Air. Then turn on the air
compressor and set its regulator to 110 to 125 PSI. Do not exceed 125 PSI. (See
Figure B.) Make sure the Foot Air Valve (48) is located on the floor surface and
safely away from the Motorcycle Lift so as to avoid damaging the Foot Air Valve.
(See Figure A.) Step on and hold down the right side of the Foot Air Valve (48) until
the Platform (8) of the Motorcycle Lift reaches its maximum height. Then step on
and hold the left side of the Foot Air Valve until the Platform is fully collapsed to the
floor. Repeat this procedure several times to ensure the Motorcycle Lift is operating
properly. (See Figure A.)
6.
7.
8.
9.
When the Platform (8) has been raised to the working height, lower the Safety Bar
(11) completely to prevent the Motorcycle Lift from accidentally lowering.
When work on the motorcycle is completed, check under the Motorcycle Lift to make
sure there are no tools, motorcycle parts, etc. and that it is safe to lower the Lift.
Swing the Safety Bar (11) aside. Then step on and hold down the left side of the
Foot Air Valve (48) to slowly lower the Platform (8) to the floor.
With assistance, remove the tie-down straps from the motorcycle. Loosen the Vise
assembly (4, 6, 7). Kick the center stand of the motorcycle up. Then, slowly back
the motorcycle completely off the Motorcycle Lift.
10.
11.
Turn off the air compressor. Step on and hold down the left side of the FootAir Valve
(48) to release any remaining compressed air in the system. Then, disconnect the
compressor’s air hose from the Foot Air Valve.
Make sure to store the Motorcycle Lift in a clean, dry, safe location out of reach of
children and other unauthorized people.

INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE, AND CLEANING
1.
Before each use: Inspect the general condition of the Motorcycle Lift. Check for
cracked, worn or damaged parts, loose or missing parts, low or no hydraulic oil, and
any other condition that may affect the tool’s safe operation. If a problem occurs,
have the problem corrected before further use.
Do not use damaged equipment.
2.
3.
4.
To clean: Use a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Do not use solvents or other
flammable agents.
When storing: Keep the Motorcycle Lift and its accessories in a clean, dry, safe
location out of reach of children and other unauthorized people.
CAUTION! All maintenance, service, and repairs not discussed in this manual
should only be performed by a qualified service technician.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem
Possible Solution
1. Make sure the unit’s 1,200 pound lifting capacity is not being
exceeded.
Motorcycle Lift “fades”, allowing a
load to slowly lower on its own.
2. Check all air connections for leaks.
3. The Air Foot Valve (48) may be leaking. A technician should
investigate and replace o-rings or entire unit as necessary.
4. If none of the above solutions correct the problem, have a
qualified service technician examine the unit. Do not use the
unit until completely repaired.
