How To Use A Haosail Car Lift: Step By Step Guide

Aug 08, 2023

Step 1

Slowly drive the car to the lifting platform and shift the transmission to neutral. Lock all doors and ensure there is nobody inside the vehicle before the lift. Look out for overhead installations that may come in the way of the elevation, such as antennas and car overhead racks. If your premises have a lower height reach, which may interfere with the installations, you may consider temporarily uninstalling them before the elevation.

Step 2

For the second step, you need to secure the wheels or the elevator’s arms to the respective points of attachment. Here you need to focus on the type of car lift you have. The two post-car lift lifting points depend on whether the elevator is symmetrical or asymmetrical.

Fasten the arms to the base of the car and confirm to ensure it’s stable. The two-post lift can be tricky to operate, and you need to ensure the vehicle is at the proper center of balance.


Step 3

Initiate the lift once you are sure that it is sturdy enough to support the weight of the car. Once raised to the required elevation level, look around to be sure that it is placed right. You can now conduct your tuning on the car, or if for parking purposes, leave it until you need it.

Once the car is above the auto lift, ensure there is no impact or shakes subjected to it as it may lead the car to topple. However, toppling is a rare eventuality if you invest in a robust car lift. Always countercheck with the chocks or locking mechanism for the stability of the vehicle atop the elevator.

Step 4

The final stage focuses on how to lower the car lift to the ground once done with it. Before lowering the vehicle, ensure there is nothing underneath the platform. Lower it gradually until it reaches the ground.

You can now unlock the locks and chocks, and the vehicle is free to move.
