Tools for Assembly
USE PROPER LIFTING TECHNIQUES
The Backyard Buddy Lifts have components that weigh beyond 300 lbs. At least one
assistant is required to assist with lifting heavy components. Three assistants (4 total
people) and/or material handling equipment is preferred.
Improper installation can accelerate wear, resulting catastrophic failure which may cause
property damage and/or bodily injury. Advantage Lifts assumes no liability for loss or damage of any
kind, expressed or implied, resulting from improper installation or use of this product. Read this
installation manual in its entirety before attempting to install or operate the lift.
STEP 1: Selecting a Site
Before installing your new lift, check for the following.
Overhead Obstructions:
The area where the lift will be located should be free of overhead obstructions such as heaters,
building supports, electrical lines, lighting, garage door rails/openers etc. Calculate the lift height
based on the full raised height of the lift plus the vehicle height. Measure and check for clearance.
Failure to do so may cause personal injury or property damage.
Electrical Requirements:
0This lift uses an electrically driven hydraulic Power Unit. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions
supplied in the Power Unit box. Wiring must be performed by a qualified electrician and meet local,
state, and national requirements. Disconnect power from the lift before performing maintenance.
Follow proper lockout/tagout procedures while servicing. The Power Unit requires a dedicated 120
VAC 60Hz 20-amp single phase circuit. Improper installation may damage the Power Unit which is
not covered under the warranty. Never expose the Power Unit to any water or damp environment,
this will void the warranty.

Floor Requirements:
Visually inspect the floor where the lift is to be installed and check for cracked or defective concrete.
This lift must be installed on a level concrete floor with no more than 3 degrees of slope and in good
condition. Consult a qualified person to address concrete conditions, seismic loads and local or state
requirements. This lift has been designed to be installed on a minimum of 4-inch thick, 3000 psi
concrete cured 28 days. Do not install this lift on asphalt, wood, or any other surface other than
described.
Notes:
DO NOT use this lift outdoors, doing so will void the warranty. The lift is not designed to be used in a
wet or damp environment or sit in standing water. Ensure drainage to keep water away from the lift.
DO NOT begin installation in a tight area; give yourself plenty of space to work safely. It is
recommended to leave at least 24 inches on each side of the lift and 24 inches behind the lift to
install the safety rod under the runway (figure 1.3 & 1.4). The minimum ceiling height required for
installation is 9-feet for XT, WF, WB/BB & BT lifts and 8-feet for CL lifts. Calculate clearance based
on your vehicle height plus the maximum lifting height.
It is NOT recommended to anchor this lift. If you must anchor the lift, follow the instructions on page
38. The owner is responsible for following any local or state seismic anchoring requirements. If the
concrete floor is a post-tensioned slab, contact the architect before drilling.
Power Unit Locations/Assembly View:
The Power Unit may be placed on one of two legs, either driver’s side front or passengers side rear
(figure 1.1). On the chosen leg, the Power Unit may be rotated to either the inside, next to the
runway or outside, next to the leg.

* Lifting capacity decreases by 25% for wheelbases shorter than 115 inches for each 15-inch increment.
With a minimum wheelbase of 70-inches having a lifting capacity of 75% less or 2,500 lbs. This is due to the
wheels moving closer to the center of the runway where there is less support.
This lift and ramps are designed around a 5.3-inch ground clearance. Longer, shallower ramps may be
needed for vehicles with less clearance.
Please refer to the user manual found in the Power Unit to review the duty cycle. Operating the Power Unit
outside the manufacturer’s specifications will void the Power Unit warranty.

STEP 2: Unloading and Unpacking:
Freight carriers may have restrictions on delivering to residential addresses requiring freight terminal pick-
up. Please contact the freight carrier to coordinate delivery to a terminal where the terminal personnel will
load the lift onto the customer's trailer or truck. Lifts will not be shipped to an address without a fork-lift. Lifts
cannot be unloaded using a lift gate vehicle due to size restrictions.
Since many lift purchasers do not have access to a fork-lift, these instructions will highlight methods to
unload the lift from a trailer or truck using readily available components. It is the sole responsibility of the
owner to ensure that the methods employed and any equipment to be used are of the proper capacity and
type to ensure the safety of personnel performing the work.
The shipping brackets and protective packaging were engineered to provide safe shipping, unloading and
assembly. DO NOT REMOVE until the lift is at the installation site and when indicated in this document.
Exterior wrappings may be removed to inspect for shipping damage.
Links to assembly videos of our products can also be found at our website AdvantageLifts.com. The videos
can often provide additional details and updated information about any new features or assembly methods
that may have been adopted since this manual was printed.
General Packaging dimensions and weights are shown in Figure 2.1 & Figure 2.2.
Figure 2.1: CL (1790 lbs.) & XT (1950 lbs.) Figure 2.2: WB/BB, WF, BT (2450 lbs.)
Maneuver the trailer so it is close to the installation site and position it so any lifting devices that will be used
to unload the packaged lift from the trailer are on a hard and smooth improved surface. For this installation,
a hand operated material handling lift was used. Confirm the material handler, strap and dollies are
sufficiently rated for the weight of each package.
