BASIC STRUCTURE OF PRODUCT
This product is a two-post, dual hydraulic cylinder, “direct drive” lift which uses steel cables for
equalization. The main components are the towers, lifting carriages, swing arms, cylinders,
cables and power unit. Arms and carriages have locking mechanisms for simple and safe
operation.
Depressing the switch on the power unit raises the lift. Releasing the switch stops the lift. Lift
should always be settled on the carriage locking mechanisms. To lower the lift, simply raise the
carriages up off the locks, pull on the single-point release handle to disengage the locks, and
depress the lowering handle.
Triple-telescoping arms allow vehicles to be loaded in symmetric or asymmetric fashion; rotating
and telescoping for easy use. Adapters are included for raising the height of the base-pad at the
end of the arm. Swing arm locks automatically engage as the carriages rise, and disengage once
they are lowered to the floor.
A further feature specific to this model is the option to install it at either the “Standard” setting or
the “Wide” setting, which allows more height and width.

STEP 3
Floor Requiremen s
Specifications of concrete must be adhered to. Failure to do so could cause lift failure resulting in
personal injury or death.
A level floor is suggested for proper installation and level lifting. Small differences in floor slopes
may be compensated for by proper shimming. If a floor is of questionable slope, consider a
survey of the site and/or the possibility of pouring a new level concrete slab.
DO NOT install this lift on any asphalt surface or any surface other than concrete.
DO NOT install this lift on expansion seams or on cracked or defective concrete.
LIFT must be installed at least 6” from the edge of the concrete slab.
CONCRETE ANCHORS must be at least 4” from any cracks, seams, or saw cuts in the concrete.
SHIMS must be installed at all anchor points where there is a gap between the base plate and the
concrete. Do not shim more than ½”.
DO NOT install this lift on a second/elevated floor without first consulting building architect.

STEP 6
Securing he Main Side Pos
BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO DISTURB THE POSTS AT THIS POINT
AS THEY MAY TIP OVER AND CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY.
1] Double check all dimensions and make sure the layout is square. Verify the position of the
Main Post within the square.
2] nce the Main Side Post is in its final position, drill holes in the concrete using the base plate
of the post as your template (Fig. 5). Use a ¾” hammer drill bit and drill straight clear holes. Drill
all the way through the slab when possible to allow for replacing an anchor if necessary. Keep
the hammer drill straight when drilling to prevent egging out the holes.
(Fig. 5) (Fig. 6)
3] nce holes are drilled, vacuum out the dust and insert anchor bolt(s) into hole(s) and tap down
until washer rests against the base plate (Fig. 6). Be sure nut is flush with top of bolt before
tapping into hole.
DO NOT TIGHTEN AT THIS TIME.
CAUTION: Hitting the anchor bolts too har
may result in amage threa s,
which may prevent proper tightening of the nut.
Tap firmly, but carefully.
4] Before tightening the anchor bolts, check for plumb of the Main Side post with a 4’ level. Shim
as necessary (Fig. 7). Shims must be installed at all anchor points where there is a gap between
the base plate and the concrete. Do not shim more than ½”.
(Fig. 7) (Fig. 8)
5] nce the Main Side post is positioned and shimmed correctly, secure it to the floor by
tightening the anchor bolts to 120 foot-pounds. DO NOT use an impact wrench (Fig. 8).

EAGLE MTP-11V3 Product Manual
