SETUP
PLEASE REFER TO THE EXPLODED VIEW DRAWING IN THIS MANUAL IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY PARTS.
1. Screw the post support in the round base.
2. Install the extension screw in the bottom of the post until it extends out of the top of the post.
3. Place the three piece bearing assembly over the extension screw until it rests on top of the post.
4. Thread the large spin handle on the extension screw.
5. Fit the saddle on top of the extension screw and secure it to the screw by tightening the hex bolt.
6. Insert the post of the model AS1500 in the post support so the holes line up. Install the clevis pin and washer through the
holes and secure the pin on the other side with another washer and cotter pin.
7. The model AS1500P includes a pedal. Insert the other end of the pedal through the parallel flanges of the post support;
raise the pedal high enough so the clevis pin can be installed through the parallel flanges of the post support. Secure the
clevis pin with the washers and cotter pin provided.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This is the safety alert symbol used for the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual to alert you
to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury or death.
1. Make sure the vehicle is properly supported, stable and at the required work height before positioning the stand(s) under
the vehicle component to be supported.
2. Consult the vehicle manufacturer for the proper handling of the component and use of under hoist stands.
3. Once the stand(s) has been positioned properly under the component, hold the stand's saddle in place with one hand
while turning the spin handle in a clockwise direction with the other hand. Remove the one hand from the stand's saddle
when it comes close to making contact with the component.
4. Continue turning the stand's spin handle in a clockwise direction until it applies pressure against the component. This
pressure should not exceed what is required to support the component. Excessive pressure might cause the vehicle
or its component to become unstable. Additional precaution should be taken when using a stand equipped with a foot
pedal which can raise the stand's saddle another inch more in height and produce as much as 400 pounds of force
when depressed.
5. Before removing the stand from the component, make sure the component is securely fastened to the vehicle or
properly supported by another means. Removal of the stand can be accomplished by turning the spin handle in a
counterclockwise direction until the stand's saddle is clear of the component.

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

This is the safety alert symbol used for the PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE section of this manual to alert you to
potential personal injury hazards. Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury or death.
1. Always store the stand in a well protected area where it will not be exposed to inclement weather, corrosive vapors,
abrasive dust, or any other harmful elements. The stand must be cleaned of water, snow, sand, grit, oil, grease or other
foreign matter before using.
2. Use a general purpose grease to lubricate the extension screw and foot pedal linkage if so equipped.
3. Every stand owner is responsible for keeping the stand labels clean and readable. Use a mild soap solution to wash
external surfaces of the stand. Contact Matco for a replacement label if your stand's label is not readable.
4. Inspect the stand before each use. Do not use the stand if any component is cracked, broken or bent. Do not use the
stand if it has loose or missing hardware or components, or is modified in any way. Take corrective action before using
the stand again.
