2. Unpacking the motorcycle hoist
At least 2 people are necessary for unpacking
and assembling the hoist. They require sufficient
space and an impassible, capable, even,
horizontal and clean surface for removing the
hoisting platform from the wooden crate, for com-
pleting the assembly and putting it into operation.
Please keep in mind that a tiled garage floor e.g.
could be damaged by the weight of the hoisting
platform, the wheels and the loading ramp. Wear
work gloves during unpacking and assembling.
Please keep in mind that the crate is secured by
nails which pose a risk of injury when it is dis-
mantled. Carefully cut the steel strapping with a
side cutter first. Please remember that the
strapping is tensioned and could be sharp-edged.
Risk of injury!Subsequently pry open the nailed lid
of the crate with an crowbar. Remove the rear end
wall (on the side with the base plate in the hoi-
sting platform), so that the platform can be
rolled out of the crate.Do not dispose the crate,
until you have put the hoisting platform into
operation and made sure that it is functioning pro-
perly. Subsequently bend all protruding nails for
reasons of safety, in order to make sure that they
are no longer a risk of injury.
3. Final assembly o the hoisting plat orm
In order to complete the assembly, please pro-
ceed as follows:Attach the long foot pedal for
lifting the hoisting platform to the thick shaft, and
the shorter foot pedal for lowering to the thinner
shaft on the base. Now use the foot pedal to
slightly lift the working platform and secure it with
the fastening bolt in the first locking position.
Lower the motorcycle hoist until it is seated on
the fastening bolt. Then attach the protective
plate for the lowering foot pedal to the frame with
two M8x20 bolts, washers and nuts.
The protective plate will prevent you from
accidentally touching the foot pedal while working,
which would lead to unintentional lowering of the
working platform. Now you can also attach the
loading ramp to its mounting holes at the end of
the working platform and secure it with the
cotter pins.
Attach the four U-shaped tie down anchors to the
desired positions using two M6 nuts each above
and two beneath the working platform.

Assembly and operating instructions
If required, attach the front wheel clamp to the
working platform with the enclosed M10x25 bolts,
washers and nuts (adjustable, depending on the
vehicle length). The front wheel clamp should only
be used as additional securing. Before applying
the clamp, check whether it could come up
against the brake discs of the front wheel or other
parts of the vehicle. Before placing your vehicle
on the hoisting platform, make sure that all
screws and all other connections have been
correctly assembled and tightened.Finally slightly
lift the hoisting platform with the foot pedal, in
order to release the fastening bolt. Extract the
fastening bolt and activate the lowering pedal,
until the working platform is completely lowered.
Air might have penetrated into the hydraulic
system during transportation, which could affect
the functioning of the hoisting platform. In order
to ventilate the system, make sure that the air-
vent screw on the hydraulic cylinder is tightened
than completely extend the hoisting platform by
stepping on the foot pedal. Subsequently open
the air-vent screw by approx. one turn and
completely lower the motorcycle hoist with the
lowering pedal. Air within the system will than
gush out. Finally remove the rear drop panel and
close the air-vent screw again. Before using the
hoisting platform for the first time, examine the
hydraulic jack for oil or air leaks and make sure
that the hoisting mechanism is functioning
without any problems. Immediately lower the
hoisting platform, if you discover a malfunction.
4. Use o the hoisting plat orm
Before placing a vehicle on the hoisting platform,
make sure that the motorcycle hoist is positioned
on a safe, even, horizontal and capable surface in
the desired working environment, and secured it
against rolling with the retaining screws
(see fig. 1). Also make sure that all bolts and
nuts have been tightened.
If applicable, protect the floor against scratches
and damages caused by the loading ramp, the
wheels and the retaining screws. Please keep in
mind that a tiled garage floor e.g. could be dama-
ged by the weight of the motorcycle hoist, the
wheels and the loading ramp. Completely lower
the hoisting platform, before placing a vehicle –
an assistant must be present.
Make sure that the motorcycle hoist and
especially the working platform and the pedals
are not exposed to oil, grease or other greasy and
slippery substances. Always push the vehicle onto
the cleaned working platform in forward
direction. ack it up with the centre stand or with
a suitable motorcycle lifter. Attach it to the four
tie-down anchors with tie-down belts (not included
in the delivery, please order seperately), in order
to secure it against falling.
The front wheel can be kept in position with the
front wheel clamp, if applicable. Before attaching
the clamp, please check whether it could come up
against the brake discs or other parts of the
vehicle, and e.g. protect the rims and tyres
against scratches and damages with a cloth or
rubber strip.
Fig. 1
The front wheel clamp is not sufficient to retain
the vehicle on the hoisting platform and to keep it
in an upright position – a centre stand or a motor-
cycle jack suitable for the vehicle must be
applied!
Once again check the safe standing of the
vehicle before lifting the working platform. Make
sure that there are no persons or their body parts
beneath or between the movable parts of the
hoist while lifting the hoisting platform.
Risk of injury!
Now lift the secured motorcycle to the desired
working height by activating the foot pedal. There
are two available locking positions for this pur-
pose. Please pay attention to the ceiling height of
the working room!
Always secure the extended hoisting platform with
the fastening bolt (fig. 2) and lower the hoist with
the pedal, until it is seated on the bolt (fig. 3).
The hoisting platform is now secured against
unintentional lowering.
While working on the vehicle, the loading ramp
must be removed, in order to avoid a risk of
injury. For safety reasons, sitting and standing on
the lifted working platform or working beneath the
platform is prohibited. Always pay attention to the
safe standing of the vehicle during all works.
Very tight parts (e.g. axles) must be pre-released
in advance when the hoist is lowered. The same
applies, if other works on the vehicle are carried
out with a great exertion of power, which could
affect the safe standing on the hoisting platform.
The base plate can be removed for dismantling
the rear wheel, for maintenance works and
repairs (see fig. 4+5).
In order to remove the vehicle from the platform
after having completed the works, clean away oil
and grease residues from the working platform in
advance. This will avoid soiling of the tyres.
Remove all items from the lowering area of the
hoisting platform.Use the foot pedal to slightly lift
the hoisting platform and release the fastening
bolt. Then extract the fastening bolt. Activate the
lowering pedal, until the working platform is
completely lowered.

Do not assemble the loading ramp until now, in
order to prevent it from jamming on the ground
when lowering the hoisting platform –
risk of injury!
Make sure that there are no persons or their body
parts beneath or between the movable parts of
the hoist while lowering the hoisting platform.
Risk of injury! Now release the tie-down straps
and the front wheel clamp, if applicable, while an
assistant safely holds the vehicle, and roll it off
the platform in backward direction.
5. Sa ety in ormation:
• The hoisting platform may only be placed on an
even, horizontal and capable surface.
The vehicle weight must be added to the dead
weight of the hoist of approx. 135 kg!
• The hoisting platform has been tested for a
maximum load of a vehicle weight of 400 kg.
It may only be used for hoisting motorcycles
within the admissible and approved load values.
Never charge the hoisting platform with more
than the stated maximum bearing capacity
of 400 kg.
• The hoisting platform must be secured against
sliding by attaching it to the ground with the
retaining screws.
• Make sure that your working area is
sufficiently lit.
• Before putting the hoisting platform into
operation, make sure that the working area is
clean. Keep all levers and pedals dry and free
from dirt and oily resp. greasy residues.
• Before placing the vehicle on the working
platform and removing it, the latter must always
be completely lowered and cleaned from oil and
grease residues, in order to avoid oiling of the
vehicle wheels. Risk of falling!
• There should be no persons on the hoisting
platform while lifting resp. lowering it as well as
when it is pumped up. Make sure that there are
no persons or their body parts beneath or
between the movable parts of the hoist while
lifting the hoisting platform.
• When lifted, the hoisting platform must be
mechanically secured in one of the two
available positions by means of the fastening
bolt, in order to relieve the hydraulics and avoid
unintentional lowering.
• In the case of longer interruptions of work, the
working platform must always be completely
lowered.
• While working on the vehicle, the loading ramp
must be removed and not re-attached, until the
platform is completely lowered – risk of injury!
• Do not place any load on the hoisting platform,
if maintenance works are carried out under-
neath the working platform. The working plat
form must be mechanically secured against un
intentional lowering by means of the fastening
bolt.
• The hoisting platform may not be moved while
bearing load.
• The hoisting platform may not be used by any
person not sufficiently experienced with
operating it.
• The hoisting platform should be positioned, so
that it cannot be operated by any unauthorised
person and it should not be accessible for
children.
• Please make sure that the notification stickers
on the hoist remain legible, even after longer
and regular use of the platform.
• Since this hoisting platform is a universally
applicable product without a specific vehicle
classification, it is important to make sure that
the hoist can be used/applied with your vehicle
without any problems and in an appropriate way,
before the first use. Thereby pay attention to
the information on your vehicle operating in
structions and the vehicle manufacturer’s speci-
fications. This is necessary, since an inappro
priate use of the product will affect the driving
safety and/or the condition of the vehicle.
6. Maintenance and care
• The chromed push bar of the hydraulic cylinder
must be kept clean and protected from
mechanical exposure. Dirt or damaging could
lead to leakage of the hydraulic jack.
• Never clean the hoisting platform with a high-
pressure cleaner. The high pressure could wash
the grease from the bearings.
• Use an acid-free motor vehicle cleaner for
cleaning the hoisting platform.
• All movable parts must be greased with bearing
grease and all screws must be retightened
every three months. The shaft bearings can be
additionally oiled through existing boreholes.
• Check the hoisting platform for signs of
corrosion or other damages at regular intervals.
• Position the hoisting platform in a dry and
well-aired location, in order to protect it from
corrosion.
• The hydraulics and mechanics of the hoisting
platform may only be dismantled and repaired
by an authorised service centre.
• Check the oil level on a regularly by removing
the base plate when the hoist is completely
lowered and opening the air-vent screw on the
hydraulic cylinder. The oil level should be
slightly (approx. 6.5mm) below the filling hole.
If necessary, the oil level can be refilled with
quality hydraulic oil ISO VG 15, e.g. Castrol Fork
Oil 10 W (non synthetic) order no. 10038217.
