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 fitting clothing should be avoided. Tight fitting
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 opera-
tion activities. Safety glasses with side
shields , goggles , or face shields are
acceptable. Back belts provide support dur-
ing lifting activities and are also helpful in
LimitedWarranty....................................................... 38 providing 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.

( Column & Cross Tube Installation )
1. Place a chalk line on the floor according to the floorplan
layout. Pay attention to the power unit location. Locate and
stand the columns at their respective locations. DO NOT
BOLT columns down at this time. Use caution to prevent the
columns from falling over. (See Fig. 1.)
Fig. 1.
2.To estimate the shim requirements, place a target on floor
at each column position and record the readings. Find the
highest of the four locations then find the difference between
each of the remaining columns. This difference is the
estimated amount of shim thickness that will be required at
each column. (See Fig. 2.)
Fig. 2.
Note: The maximum shim thickness recommended by the
factory is no more than 1/2" per column using shims and
anchors provided with the lift.
2. Using a forkliftor crane, raise the cross tubes (making sure
the plasticslide blocks are still in position)and drop down into
the top of the columns. NOTE: The sheave windows should
be positioned inward and adjacent the power unit column.

3. With the columns standing and the cross tubes in
position , install the safety ladders . Pass the ladders
through the column openings and drop down through the
slide block guide slots on the cross tube until the ladders
come to rest on the base plates. 00 NOT BOLT columns
down at this time. (See Fig. 4-5.)

STEP 11
( Routing Air Lines )
Route the air line as shown below making sure to position the push button air valve with the INLET facing towards the
AIR SOURCE and the OUTLET facing the direction of the LIFT.
A filter/regulator/lubricator must be installed on air supply at lift. Failure to do so will void the warranty . Cut the
provided 1/4" air line tubing with a sharp blade to lengths as required. Tubing must be cut square with no burrs.
Note: To assemble air line tubing into fitting, use firm, manual pressure to push tubing into the fitting until it bottoms out.
To remove air line tubing from the fitting, hold push sleeve in (against fitting) and, at the same time, pull out on tubing.
Pay careful attention to keep air line clear of any pinch points. Improper assembly may result in safety lock failure.
AIR PRESSURE SHOULD BE REGULATED TO 65 PSI MAX. (See Fig31)
An air supply (30 PSI Min / 3 CFM Min.) will be required for the safety-lock mechanisms .
