Seeking wisdom from those who have installed a lift

Rule one is the installation. Proper flooring and Anchoring that's not compromised. Number 2 is understanding that you life depends on how you use the lift. Take your time putting cars on it, and double check yourself. Excellent condition Pads are a priority or otherwise you can slide the car off the legs.

I set my legs and raise a car until the tires are off the ground and shake it good. If I don't like something down it goes for a reset. I also use stands if I am working under it. I can't overstate safety with any lift. I like a 2 post however my style of working on cars may differ from yours....
