How to Use Hydraulic Motorcycle Lift
A motorcycle lift table is an essential tool for any garage or repair shop. To ensure maximum safety, performance, and long service life, it is important to follow the correct setup, operation, and maintenance procedures. Below is a detailed guide on how to properly use your air hydraulic motorcycle lift from JR AIR TOOLS.
✅ Before Use: Preparing Your Lift
-
Settle the Hydraulic Oil
Always leave the lift for at least one hour before first use. This allows the hydraulic oil to settle. Skipping this step may leave air trapped inside, requiring multiple purges. -
Purge Air from the Hydraulic System
-
Manual System: Lower the platform, hold down the release pedal, and quickly pump the lifting pedal several times. Release the pedal to complete purging.
-
Air System: Add 2–3 drops of quality air tool lubricant into the air supply inlet, connect to air supply, and operate for 3 seconds. Then connect the quick coupler and let the pump run for 20 seconds to eliminate trapped air.

-
Release Trapped Air
Slowly pinch the oil fill plug to release remaining air bubbles. -
Position the Lift Safely
Place the lift on a solid, flat surface. Adjust the foot pedal screw correctly and make sure the air hose runs from the bottom to avoid crushing.
⚙️ Operation Guide
-
Ensure the lift is at its lowest height and the ramp is in place.
-
Move the motorcycle to the centerline of the platform and lock the front wheel. Use tie-down straps (sold separately) to secure the bike.
-
Pump the foot pedal or use the air controller to raise the platform to the required height.
-
Always lock the safety bar before beginning repairs.
-
When finished, check under the lift for obstructions, remove the safety bar, and slowly depress the release pedal to lower the platform.
-
Remove straps, open the clamp, and roll the motorcycle off the ramp.
-
Disconnect the air inlet fitting when not in use.
⚠️ Safety Warnings
-
Do not exceed rated capacity or PSI rating.
-
Never pump beyond the maximum lift height.
-
Use the lift only for motorcycle lifting purposes.
-
Keep children and unauthorized persons away.
-
Wear proper safety gear (goggles, gloves, helmet, shoes).
-
Only operate on a clean, flat, stable, and well-lit surface.
-
Always center the load and engage the locking bar.
-
Do not modify the lift or use it in rain or harsh weather.
-
Never operate under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or fatigue.
🔧 Maintenance Tips
-
Keep the lift clean and lubricate all moving parts.
-
Store in the lowest position in a dry area to prevent corrosion.

Check bolts, nuts, and hydraulic parts before each use.

Inspect the ram and piston regularly for corrosion—wipe with an oiled cloth.
