V ERTICAL C LEARANCE
Check the height of the area where the lift is to be
installed. Clearance should be calculated based on
the full raised height of the lift.
Failure by purchaser to
provide adequate clearance
could result in unsatisfactory
lift performance, property damage, or personal
injury.
F LOORING
Be certain you have the proper concrete floor to
properly handle the loaded lift. Floor should be in
generally good condition with no large cracks,
spalling or deterioration.
Minimum requirements for concrete are 4 inches
minimum depth, with steel reinforcement, 3500
psi, cured for 28 days per local commercial
practice. This lift is designed to accommodate a 3
inch total variation in elevation at the base of the four
posts. Floor should be level within 1/2 inch from side-
to-side and 2 1/2 front-to-rear to avoid special
shimming. No anchors should be installed within 8
inches of any crack, edge, or expansion joint. If these
conditions cannot be met, a pad may be poured to
accommodate the lift.
Check with local building inspectors and/or permits
office for any special instructions or approvals
required for your installation.
Failure by purchaser to
provide the recommended
mounting surface could result
in unsatisfactory lift performance, property
damage, or personal injury.

NOTE: When attaching the return line to the
bulk head in the runway, make sure it is
securely attached at the power unit, and the
hose is not twisted or kinked into a position
that will lead to getting caught on the power
unit reservoir or the stud on the column sides.
Raise the lift and carefully watch the path the
hose is riding up the column, adjust
connection at the power unit and/or runway
bulkhead to allow the hose to move up
between the power unit and column. Make
sure the hose doesn’t catch on the column
caster lug as the lift rises.
38) Install O-Ring end of the straight hydraulic
fitting (9/16-18 O-Ring x M14x1.5-6g) to
power unit output port. Connect the hydraulic
hose to the hydraulic bulkhead fitting in the
power runway.
Do Not Use Teflon Tape or Pipe Dope on fittings.
39) Connect the power unit to a suitable electrical
power source. The standard power unit is 115
volt 50/60 Hz single phase requiring a
dedicated 15 amp single throw circuit breaker
to operate lift at full capacity.
40) BE CERTAIN ALL FITTINGS AND CONNECTIONS
ARE TIGHT. IT IS THE INSTALLERS
RESPONSIBILITY TO INSURE SYSTEM IS LEAK-
FREE. Fill the Power Unit with three gallons of
clean 10wt anti-foam anti-rust hydraulic oil or
Dexron III ATF. DO NOT USE OILS WITH
DETERGENTS.
41) Energize the power unit and raise the lift
approximately 1 ft off the ground and look
underneath the power runway to verify that the
cable lugs are resting firmly against the
cylinder pull bar.
42) To level the runways and crossbeams use a 4
ft. level. With the lift resting in its locks, find the
highest corner and adjust the other three
column ladder bars until the runways are level
front-to-rear and side-to-side. Tighten jam nut
against bottom side of each column top plate.
43) Adjust cables until all four locks are
synchronized when lift is raised. Tighten cable
jam nuts against adjustment nuts.
44) Raise and lower lift several times to bleed
hydraulic cylinder. Hydraulic cylinder is self
bleeding. Lower lift and check fluid level in
reservoir. Add fluid as needed.
45) Run lift to full rise and continue running motor
approximately 5 more seconds. Check
hydraulic hose and connections for leaks. Re-
tighten fitting if leaking.
