INSTALLATION
SPACE REQUIREMENTS
⚫You must consult the architectural plans for the desired
location. Make sure there are no contradictions
between how you want to build and how the plans indicate.
⚫The area where the lift will be located should be free of
overhead obstructions such as heaters, building supports,
electrical wires and so on. Also make there is enough
clearance around the lift for driving vehicles getting on or off
the lift.
FOUNDATION REQUIREMENTS
⚫Visually inspect the site where the lift is to be installed and
check for cracked or defective concrete
⚫DO NOT install or use this lift on expansion seams or on
cracked or defective concrete.
⚫DO NOT install or use this lift on any asphalt surface or any
surface other than concrete.
⚫Lift is designed for INDOOR INSTALLATION ONLY.
⚫This lift must be installed on a solid level concrete floor with
no more than 3-degrees of slope.
⚫Lift buyers are responsible for any special regional structural
and/or seismic anchoring requirements specified by any
other agencies and/or codes such as the Uniform Building
Code (UBC) and/or International Building Code (IBC).
⚫All models MUST be installed on 3000 PSI concrete and have

12
Four post parking lift AM-FPL9
a minimum of 12” thickness with steel or fiber mesh. New
concrete must be adequately cured by at least 30 days
minimum.
ANCHORING GUIDELINES
⚫Please carefully remove all the parts from the package.
⚫Use a concrete rotary hammer drill with 3/4” drill bit. Do not
use excessively worn or incorrectly sharpened drill bits.
⚫Keep the drill in a vertical position when drilling. Do not apply
excessive pressure and let the drill do the work. Try to lift the
drill up sporadically and clean residue in the hole. Power blow
dust from the hole for better holding.
⚫Drill the holes 1.25" deeper than the length of the anchor bolts.
Try to drill through the concrete so that when you move the
lift to a new location, you may hammer down the anchor bolts
instead of cutting them off.
⚫Assemble the washers and nuts onto the anchor bolts. Thread
the nuts onto the anchor bolts where the tops of the nuts are
just above the top of the bolts, as shown in figure below.
Using a hammer, carefully tap the anchor bolts into the
concrete until the washer rests against the baseplate. Do not
damage the nuts or threads. Try not to use an impact wrench
to tighten the nut. Tighten the nut two or three turns after the
concrete is cured (30-day minimum cure). In case where the
concrete is very hard, tighten only one or two turns.

located should be free of overhead obstructions such as
heaters, building supports, electrical wires and so on. Also
make there is enough clearance around the lift for driving
vehicles getting on or off the lift.
⚫By using a chalk, draw an outline of the base plate on the
installation ground and establish the position for all the four
posts
⚫Double check all dimensions and make sure that the layout
is square.
Step 2.
⚫Ascertain the side where the power unit post will be located.
Please remember this is the post where your main electrical
power supply will be connected.
⚫Double check all dimensions and make sure that the layout
is square and aligned with the chalk line.
⚫Lay down rear posts on the ground and remove the top plates
form top of the posts and install the Cross rail in the posts by
sliding the plastic guide blocks into the column channel. The
safety latch must be positioned in the same level from the
ground and make safety latch facing towards the outside of
the lift when you stand the columns back up. Manually hold

15
Four post parking lift AM-FPL9
the lock lever down on each side of the cross rail and slide
the cross rail down until it rests on the safety lock position
closest to the floor. Repeat the procedure for the front posts
to install the cross rails. Stand the assembled posts up in
positions indicated on the floor plan.
⚫Start with installing runway that has cylinder already
installed in it. This runway will be placed on the cross rail
with the hose Connection facing out toward the power side
post. With an assistant, pick up and place one end of the
runway on the cross rail, and then pick up and place the other
end on the opposite cross rail (if you have three assistants,
place both ends at the same time). Use a large screwdriver or
aligning punch to align the mounting holes in the cross
rails with the mounting holes of the runway. Do not leave the
tracks unbolted –install the mounting bolts immediately!
Install M12X100 mounting bolts and M12 washers thru the
ramp brackets and wheel stops. Make sure the bolt head is on
the flat side of the bracket. Install the two ramp brackets and
two wheels stop with bolts and washers as you secure the
main runway to the cross rail. Secure the bolts with M12
washers and nuts placed hand tight. Now, install the offside
runway and again secure with ramp brackets, wheel stops
with M12X100 bolts and nuts. After both runways are
installed, tighten all bolts M12X100 bolts.
⚫Install the cylinder connecting metal plate as shown in below
figure. Reference this diagram for installing cables.

16
Four post parking lift AM-FPL9
⚫Find the post plates (4 each), M12x170 bolts (4 each), M12x30
bolts (4 each), M12 nuts (8 each) and M12 flat washers (16
each), holes for cable face towards the center of the lift.
Secure all 4 post caps with M12x30 bolts. Place the bolts with
washers in through channel and secure with washers and
nuts on the outside of the post cap. Install the M12x170 bolts
through the post and top cap. Install from outside of the post
and secure with a nut on the inside of the post. Tighten the
M12x30 and M12x170 bolts.
⚫Pass the bolt end of the cable through the opening of the
offside runway, then run cable 90 degrees around the pulley
of the cross rail. Secure the threaded ends into the hole in the
top of the post caps and secure them with washer and nut.
⚫Safety Latch Linkage Installation: Locate and identify the
components needed to install the safety latch linkage rods.
Install the spacers from on the straight threaded end of the
M12X1270 bent rod and the threaded end of the M12X3200
straight safety latch linkage rod.
⚫Install the M12X1270 bent safety latch linkage rod into the
power side runway adjacent to back end of the cylinder

17
Four post parking lift AM-FPL9
(opposite the cylinder rod). Safety latch linkage rod should
pass through guide tubes on underside of runway.
⚫Install the M12X3200 straight safety latch linkage rod into
the power side runway from the opposite end. The rod should
pass through two guides on the underside of the power side
runway.
⚫Install the 90 fitting w/O-Ring in the base of power unit pump
next to the lever operated release valve. IT IS NOT NECESSARY
TO USE TEFLON TAPE ON O-RING FITTINGS.
⚫Connect the 1800MM hose to the fitting on the power unit.
Attach the other end of the 1800MM hose to outside fitting in
power side runway.
⚫Place a funnel into vent cap hole and fill hydraulic oil in the
power unit reservoir about 10 liters. Recommended Oil: ISO 32,
ISO 46 Hydraulic Oil or Dexron III ATF
⚫Relocating or changing components may cause problems.
Each component in the system must be compatible; an
undersized or restricted line will cause a drop in pressure. All
valve, pump, and hose connections should be sealed and/or
capped until just before use. All parts should be supplied
from manufacture.
⚫Air hoses can be used to clean fittings and other
components. However, the air supply must be filtered and dry
to prevent contamination. Most important -cleanliness -
contamination is the most frequent cause of malfunction or
failure of hydraulic equipment.
⚫Check Pulley Cover and Lock Ladder: Before proceeding,
double check to make sure the locking ladder for the cross-
rail cable pulleys are tight and secure. Check the pulley cover
(2-RIGHT and 2 LEFT) over the shaft located on the pulley side
of each cross-rail. CHECK the pulley and cover are firm
against the locking ladder already in place. Check the
additional lock ladder on the outside of the shaft is tight and
secure. To prevent personal injury or death, cross-rail lock

18
Four post parking lift AM-FPL9
ladder must be tight. If they are ever removed -always make
sure the locking ladders are tight and secure.
⚫Check the cross-rail locking assembly before use. Make
sure all bolts and ladders are tight and secure. The
assembly is pre-installed from the factory, but parts may
come loose during shipping.
⚫After installation is completed and before start up, be sure
to inspect and tighten all bolts.
⚫Start Up: Make sure power unit reservoir is full with 10L of ISO
32, ISO 46 Hydraulic Oil or Dexron III ATF oil and lubricate
inside the posts for slide blocks run smoothly.
⚫Initial Operation: Press the UP SWITCH on the power unit.
Raise the lift slowly until all the slack in the cables are taken
out. Raise the lift until the safety latch closest to the
power unit comes within 25MM to the bottom of the lowest
lock position. Tighten the cable by adjusting nut on top of
each post cap until all remaining safety latches come within
25MM to the bottom of the lowest lock position. If cables are
adjusted evenly the lift should be raising equally and all four
safety latches engage simultaneously.
⚫IF LIFT DOES NOT RISE: Check hose connections. Fluid should
be pumping through the hose. Check fluid level.
⚫NOTE: There will be some initial stretching of the cables in the
beginning. It will be necessary to readjust the cables a week or
so after first use. Run the lift up and down a few times to make
sure that the safety latches are engaging consistently, and that
the safety latch release is functioning properly. Re-adjust if
necessary.
⚫When lowering the lift PAY CAREFUL ATTENTION. ALWAYS
make sure that all FOUR SAFETY LATCHES are disengaged. If
one of the latches locks on descent, STOP immediately and
raise until it is clear of the stop.
⚫Install the approach ramps on the entry side of the lift. Drive a
vehicle onto the lift tracks then install the rear wheel chocks.
Run the lift up and down a few times to ensure that the latches

19
Four post parking lift AM-FPL9
are engaging uniformly, and that the safety latch release is
functioning properly. Re-adjust if necessary.
⚫Run the lift up and down at least three times, before putting a
vehicle on it for the first time. This is to bleed the air out of the
cylinder and power unit.
