• Locate the column and bolt it to the base plate. A helper may be required to hold the column in place until the bolts are tightened.
• Select the appropriate fork for lifting the vehicle. There is no need to bolt the fork, it is a simple lift and slide mechanism for the ease of replacing the lifting arm. 
• Finally attach the hydraulic pump to the column and test the working before lifting a vehicle.

The hydraulic pump is foot operated. When lifting the vehicle keep one leg on the foot-operated pedal and slide the Easylift 3000 slightly forwards as the vehicle goes up. When the desired height is reached, use the mechanically locking metal pin and slide it into the column.

There are five holes provided on the column for the mechanical lock. It is an additional safety measure, in case there is a hydraulic leak and the vehicle starts to lower. Sometimes, the height may need to be increased or lowered in order to match the locking pin into the holes of the column.

• Before lifting the vehicle make sure the hand brake or parking brake is applied and the engine is turned off.
• Press on the food level and watch the vehicle, the arm should lift the vehicle slowly, and remove the food when the desired position is reached.
• Insert the mechanical pin into the column, you can adjust the height of the holes on the column and lifting arm are not aligned.
