INSTALLER/OPERATOR -
PLEASE READ AND ENSURE FULL
UNDERSTANDING OF CONTENT.
BY PROCEEDING YOU AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING:
• I have visually inspected the site where the lift is to be installed
and veried the concrete to be in good condition and free of cracks
or other defects. I understand that installing a lift on cracked or
defective concrete could cause lift failure resulting in personal
injury or death.
• I understand that a level oor is required for proper installation
and level lifting.
• I understand that I am responsible if my oor is of questionable
slope and that I will be responsible for all charges related to
pouring a new level concrete slab if required and any charges.
• I understand that the lifts are supplied with concrete fasteners
meeting the criteria of the American National Standard
“Automotive Lifts - Safety Requirements for Construction,
Testing, and Validation” ANSI/ALI ALCTV- 2011 and that I will
be responsible for all charges related to any special regional
structural and/or seismic anchoring requirements specied by any
other agencies and/or codes such as the Uniform Building Code
(UBC) and/or International Building Code (IBC).
• I will assume full responsibility for the concrete oor and condition
thereof, now or later, where the above equipment model(s) are
to be installed. Failure to follow danger, warning, and caution
instructions may lead to serious personal injury or death to
operator or bystander or damage to property.
• I understand that lifts are designed to be installed in indoor
locations only. Failure to follow installation instructions may lead
to serious personal injury or death to operator or bystander or
damage to property or lift.
Failure to follow danger, warning, and caution instructions may

INSTALLER / OPERATOR
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Personal protective equipment helps makes installation and
operation safer, however, it does not take the place of safe operating
practices. Always wear durable work clothing during any installation
and/or service activity. Shop aprons or shop coats may also be
worn, however, loose tting clothing should be avoided. Tight tting
leather gloves are recommended to protect technician hands when
handling parts. Sturdy leather work shoes with steel toes and oil
resistant soles should be used by all service personnel to help
prevent injury during typical installation and operation activities.
Eye protection is essential during installation and operation
activities. Safety glasses with side shields, goggles, or face shields
are acceptable. Back belts provide support during lifting activities
and are also helpful inproviding worker protection. Consideration
should also be given to the use of hearing protection if service
activity is performed in an enclosed area or if noise levels are high.

1. Carefully remove the crating and packing materials. CAUTION! Be
careful when cutting steelbanding material as items may become
loose and fall causing personal harm or injury.
2. Check the voltage, phase and proper amperage requirements for
the motor shown on the motor plate. Wiring should be performed
only by a certied electrician.
1. Read and understand all instructions and all safety warnings
before operating lift.
2. Care must be taken as burns can occur from touching hot parts.
3. Do not operate equipment with a damaged cord or if the equipment
has been dropped or damaged until it has been examined by a
qualied service person.
4. Do not let a cord hang over the edge of the table, bench, or counter
or come in contact with hot manifolds or moving fan blades.
5. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a current rating equal
to or more than that of the equipment should be used. Cords rated
for less current than the equipment may overheat. Care should
be taken to arrange the cord so that it will not be tripped over or
pulled.
6. Always unplug equipment from electrical outlet when not in use.
Never use the cord to pull the plug from the outlet. Grasp plug and
pull to disconnect.
7. Let equipment cool completely before putting away. Loop cord
loosely around equipment when storing.
8. T o reduce the risk of re, do not operate equipment in the vicinity

during service, or mark circuit breaker switch so that it cannot be
accidentally switched on during service.
12. Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer’s
recommended attachments.
13. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday eyeglasses only have
impact resistant lenses, they are not safety glasses.
14. Consider work environment. Keep work area clean. Cluttered
work areas invite injuries. Keep areas well lit.
15. Guard against electric shock. This lift must be grounded while in
use to protect operator from electric shock. Never connect the
green power cord wire to a live terminal. This is for ground only.
16. Only trained operators should operate this lift. All non-trained

of the site and/or the possibility of pouring a new level concrete slab.
• DO NOT install or use this lift on any asphalt surface or any surface
other than 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 a second/elevated oor without
rst consulting a building architect.

POWER SUPPLY
The capacity of power must be 3HP minimum. The electrical wire must be a minimum of 10 gauge.
INSTALLATION
1. Location of Installation
Check the installation location (concrete, layout, space size etc.) so it is suitable for lift installation.
LIFT HEIGHT CLEARANCE NOTE: There must be 70” plus the height of typical vehicle MIN distance from top of lift to nearest obstruction
2. Use a carpenter’s chalk line to establish installation layout of base plate.
Check the installation location (concrete, layout, space size etc.) so it is suitable for lift installation.
3. Using the base plate on the POWER SIDE post as a guide, drill each anchor hole in the concrete approximately 4.72” deep using a rotary
hammer drill and 0.79” concrete drill-bit. To ensure full holding power, do not ream the hole or allow the drill to wobble.
4. After drilling, remove dust thoroughly from each holemaking certain that the posts remain aligned with the chalk line.

FIX ANCHOR BOLTS
1. Prepare anchor bolts.
2. If shimming is required, insert the shims as necessary under the base plate so that when the anchor bolts are tightened, the posts will
be plumb.
3. Assemble the washers and nuts on the anchors then tap into each hole with a hammer until the washer rests against the base plate.
If shimming is required be sure that enough threads are left exposed.
4. With the foot guards, shims and anchor bolts in place, tighten by securing the nut to the base then turning 3-5 full turns clockwise.
DO NOT use an impact wrench for this procedure.
