SAFETY
WARNING! Ensure Health & Safety, local authority, and general workshop
practice regulations are adhered to when using this equipment.
WARNING! TRAPPING DANGER Although the vehicle lift movements are slow
in operation, keep hands and limbs away from the steelwork during elevating
and lowering.
Keep the work area clean, and uncluttered and ensure there is adequate
lighting.
Maintain correct balance and footing. Ensure the floor is not slippery
and wear non-slip steel toe-capped shoes.
Remove ill-fitting clothes. Remove ties, watches, rings, and other loose
jewelry.
Familiarise yourself with the applications, limitations, and potential
hazards of the vehicle lift.
** Once the load is lifted it is imperative that the load is locked by
means of the anti-tilt arm.
X DO NOT work under the vehicle without having first supported it with
correctly rated axle stands.
** The anti-tilt arm gives additional safety but does NOT remove the need
to use axle stands.
Use on a hard, level non-slippery surface such as concrete that is
capable of supporting the load of the vehicle and the lift.
Check the load is stable on the lift, and make sure there is no risk of
tilting or slipping.
X DO NOT try to move the vehicle when it is on the lift.
X DO NOT modify the lift.
X DO NOT drive onto the lift.
The lift is designed for lifting cars. Any other use is strictly
forbidden.
When lifting or lowering a car DO NOT allow anyone other than the
operator to approach the work area.
X DO NOT use to achieve a task the vehicle lift was not designed to
perform.
**Follow the drill’s instructions, because of the risks presented by an
electrical supply DO NOT use near water.
X DO NOT when lifting or lowering keep the vehicle balanced on the lift.
The vehicle must rest freely on the front or rear wheels. Refer to section 4
for the procedure.
X DO NOT allow untrained persons to assemble or use the vehicle lift.
X DO NOT lift the vehicle with people inside.
X DO NOT exceed the load capacity of 1.5tonne. Refer to the vehicle
manufacturer’s manual for the weight of the vehicle.
** Ensure adequate level space around the vehicle for the operator and the
lift.
X DO NOT operate the vehicle lift if parts are damaged or missing as this
may cause failure and/or personal injury.
Before using lift, make a visual inspection of the vehicle lift to
ensure there is no sign of damage or lost fixings
Before commencing lift ensure the vehicle bodywork is structurally
sound. Refer to the manufacturer’s manual for information as to whether it is
possible to lift the vehicle using the sills. Modern vehicles make extensive
use of sill covers and extensions. Ensure there is sound strong, steel to lift
the weight on.
** Before commencing the vehicle lift the vehicle hand brake must be off
and left in neutral.
X WARNING!** The warnings, cautions, and instructions in this manual cannot
cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be
understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors that
cannot be built into this product but must be applied by the operator.
INTRODUCTION
Compact and easy-to-use to raise a vehicle either manually or with an electric drill of 90Nm or more (do not use an impact wrench as this will damage the mechanism). During raising it can be stopped at any height before locking the vehicle out level. Once raised it can be tilted forwards or backward to allow much greater access to the underside of car (always use suitably rated axle stands before getting under a vehicle). Three adjustable width settings (775mm/1130mm/1530mm) allow narrow chassis cars to be lifted, such as MGs and other small classic cars. Even with modern wider cars, this style of lift allows easy access to sills and edges of vehicles that some lifts would obscure.

OPERATION
6.1.GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
6.1.1. Use on a flat, hard, smooth floor (for example, concrete). A rough
floor can hinder the working of the Mini Lift, by putting up too much
resistance to the movement of the castors.
6.1.2.Before lifting or lowering the load, systematically check that the
obstacles preventing the descent (jack stands and anti-tilt arm) are removed.
6.1.3.Load Limitation
6.1.3.1. The connecting pin B (Section 4 Contents) between the drill and the
Mini Lift acts as a protection in the event of excessive load or when the
maximum height is reached.
6.1.3.2.In these situations, the breaking of this pin is normal. Replace this
pin with a genuine new pin, then continue using, making sure that the
instructions for maximum load and height are followed.|
DO NOT use the Mini lift with a pin different to the one originally supplied.
6.1.4.The load limiting pin is going to break if the user overrides the stops
by continuing to operate the drill.
6.1.4.1. The Mini Lift is fitted with end stops, for the maximum lift
position and the lowest position. Before reaching the end of the lift, it is,
therefore, necessary TO GRADUALLY SLOW the movement and to stop it before
reaching the stop.
6.1.5.Lifting refer to fig’s 1 & 2
6.1.5.1.When lifting the vehicle, DO NOT try to raise the 4 wheels
simultaneously, but let it rest freely on the front or rear wheels
6.1.5.2.The maximum lifting capacity is 1000 kg, which means you can lift
heavier vehicles when 2 wheels are resting on the ground.
6.1.5.3.Once the vehicle is lifted, the maximum static capacity is 1500 kg.
This means the vehicle can be placed horizontally with the four wheels lifted
(if it does not exceed 1500 kg).
6.1.6.Moving refer to fig.3
6.1.6.1. WARNING! The Mini Lift is heavy. DO NOT try to lift it
yourself. Take hold of the Mini Lift between the two drive housings and move
it by rolling it on the castors located on the other side.
6.2. OPERATION
6.2.1.The vehicle must have the hand brake off and be in neutral. It must be
on a horizontal surface so that it does not roll because of its own weight.
6.2.2.Place the Mini Lift at the side of the vehicle. The drive housings must
be placed towards the front of the vehicle.
6.2.3. Slide the Mini Lift under the vehicle, until it is centred with the
longitudinal axis of the vehicle. Adjust the distance between the runners to
fit the width of the vehicle.
6.2.4. The two rubberized runners must be symmetrical in relation to the
bottom of the car body. Check the manufacturer’s manual to ensure that the
runners are not in contact with any fragile component of the vehicle.
6.2.5. To lift the front of the vehicle refer to fig.6
6.2.5.1 Place the drive housings in contact with the front wheels of the
vehicle (for front-engine vehicles)
6.2.6. To lift the rear of the vehicle refer to fig.7
6.2.6.1. Move the Mini Lift back slightly so that most of the weight is
transferred onto the front.
6.2.7. Lifting (Electric Operation)
6.2.7.1. Insert the connecting pin ( Section 4 Contents B) in the drill chuck.
The Cardan supplied is only for lifting with the crank.
6.2.7.2. Place the drill in the housing, inserting the connecting pin in the
control shaft in the housing. Tighten the drill with the knob on the housing.
6.2.7.3. Operate the drill (direction of rotation to the right) holding it
firmly.
6.2.7.4. Before reaching the maximum height, slow the lifting speed.
6.2.7.5. Insert the pin in the anti-tilting arm, refer to fig.8 .
WARNING! Check that the vehicle is stable before working underneath it.
It must not be able to slip or tilt, even if the user should push against it
while working. If there is a risk of the vehicle tilting, re-lower the Mini
Lift and move it so as to place more weight on the wheels which remain on the
ground.
WARNING! Install a pair of axle stands before working under the vehicle.
Note: It is also possible to lift or lower the load using the crank and
the Cardan supplied.
6.2.8. Lowering
6.2.8.1. Remove the axle stands.
6.2.8.2. Remove the pin from the anti-tilt arm locking mechanism. If you
forget to loosen this mechanism, it can lead to damage to the Mini Lift.
6.2.8.3. Operate the Mini Lift using the drill (or the crank), changing the
direction of rotation.
6.2.8.4. Lower the Mini Lift until the load is no longer resting on it and it
can easily be removed from the side.
6.2.8.5. Before reaching the minimum height, gradually slow the lowering
speed.
6.2.9. Tilting
WARNING! Only for working on the front or the rear of the vehicle.
6.2.9.1. If the vehicle’s center of gravity is aligned with the axis of the
Mini Lift, it can tend to tilt either forward or back. To avoid this, it is
imperative to use axle stands and the anti-tilting arm.
6.2.9.2. In addition, it is ESSENTIAL that the axis of the Mini Lift is moved
from the vehicle’s axis of gravity, in order to place more load on the wheels
that remain on the ground.
6.2.9.3. If one end of the vehicle is raised and the user wishes to work on
the other end, you must lower it and then lift it again having changed the
position of the Mini Lift to change the distribution of the load and lift the
desired end.
6.2.10. Safety Nut
6.2.10.1. The drive nut for the load can wear over time or if it is badly
lubricated. In this case, a safety device holds the load, but it is no longer
possible to lift or lower it.
DO NOT try to repair the Mini Lift so that you can continue to use it: only
Sealey must be entrusted with the repair.
STORAGE
7.1. The Mini Lift must be stored on the housings or fixed to the wall with brackets (not supplied.) Store in a dry, condensation-free place.
MAINTENANCE
8.1. Grease the drives in the drive housings and the moving parts at least
four times a year, or more often in the case of intensive use.
8.2. To grease the drives, take out the 2 screws and open the covers of the
housings.
