Don’t they usually have locks on them so if the hydraulics fail it can’t drop?

I would have someone come and look at it and get you up to speed on proper use and maintenance on it. Not something you want to be unfamiliar with.

I inherited a car lift in the garage in the house I purchased.

Have a bunch of people stand on it first.

Have your wife stand on it. If it holds, you're good.

Get a rental car, an SUV if possible, and test it on that.

Lift a car 2 inches and see if it holds, then 4 inches, then 6….just boil the frog approach.

car lift is the single most awesomest "tool" you can have to work on cars. I just sold my house where I had one

Have a few 2x4s on hand to put under the arms just in case.

Can't you just ask the previous owner?

This would be good. I showed the guy who bought mine how to operate it and told him everything I could.

Or neighbors. This would be an awesome seller leftover
