IMPORTANT:It is the shop owner's responsibility to provide a satisfactory installation area for
the lift. Lift should only be installed on level concrete floors with no more than 3ºof slope and with a
minimum of 4 inches (102mm) and 3000 psi (20.7MPa) concrete that has been aged a minimum of 30
days. Please consult a qualified individual if any doubt exists concerning proper installation and
subsequent safe operation of the lift. Do not install the lift on asphalt or outdoors. Failure to comply
with these minimum standards could result in personal injury or death.
Prior to installation, it is the shop owner's responsibility to provide constant electrical power in the
correct voltage, phase, etc., and all wiring for electrical hook-up of the lift. The shop owner must insure
that the electrical installation conforms to local building and safety codes. Where required, the shop
owner will provide an electrical isolation switch located in close proximity to the lift. This switch will
have an emergency stop capability and isolate electrical power from the lift for servicing requirements.
Hydraulic oil cannot be shipped with the lift and will be supplied by either the shop owner or the installer.
ISO 32 hydraulic oil (10W non detergent hydraulic oil) must be used to fill the reservoir tank before
operating the lift.
It is the shop owner's responsibility to train all operators in
lift operation and lift safety.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using your garage equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the
following:
1. Read and follow all safety instructions and decals included with the lift. Read and follow all
safety instructions in this manual. Read and follow the ALI "Lifting It Right" manual (included
with the lift). Always use the "Vehicle Lifting Points" reference guide when lifting a vehicle.
Insure all materials stay up to date »» www.autolift.org/.
2. Only trained and authorized personnel should position a vehicle and operate the lift. Do not
allow customers or bystanders to operate the lift or be in the lift area.
3. Inspect the lift daily. Do not operate if potential problems have been identified or lift
malfunctions. Do not operate if lift has damaged or broken components. Never walk or work
under the lift unless all safety locks are completely engaged.
4. Never overload the lift. The rated capacity decal is located on the powerpack column. The
hydraulic system on this lift is not designed to be a load holding device. Mechanical safety locks
must be engaged before proceeding under the lift for vehicle servicing or lift maintenance.
Never override operating controls. This is unsafe and will void the warranty.
5. Before driving a vehicle onto the lift, insure that both slip plates and turn plates have all lock
mechanisms securely in place. Also insure that the lift and lift area is clear of all debris and that
all oil and grease has been cleaned from runway surfaces.
6. Before raising or lowering the lift, always totally secure the vehicle with wheel chocks.
7. When using a jack(s) to raise a vehicle, position jack lifting pads to contact vehicle
manufacturers recommended lifting points. Raise jack slowly until all pads contact the vehicle.
Confirm that the vehicle is stable on the jack(s) before raising to desired working height.
8. Some pickup trucks may require optional truck adapters to clear running boards and other
installed accessories. Special care must be exercised with pick-up trucks to insure safe lifting.
Always use vehicle manufacturers lifting points and insure the contents of the cargo box will not
affect vehicle balance while on the jack(s).
9. Important: Removal or installation of heavier parts can change the vehicle's center of gravity
on the jack(s) resulting in a critical load shift. The vehicle may then be unstable. Plan ahead
for this possibility to insure continued safety and refer to the vehicle manufacturer’s service
manual for recommended procedures.
10. Always keep the lift area free of obstructions and debris. Grease and oil spills should be cleaned
up immediately.
11. Never raise a vehicle on the lift with passengers inside. Before lowering, check the lift and lift
area and remove all obstructions. Before removing vehicle from the lift or lift area, confirm an
unobstructed exit.
12. DO NOT PERFORM ANY MAINTENANCE OR INSTALLATION OF ANY COMPONENTS WITH OUT
FIRST ENSURING THAT ELECTRICAL POWER HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED AT THESOURCE OR
PANEL AND CANNOT BE RE-ENERGIZED UNTIL ALL MAINTENANCE AND/OR INSTALLATION
PROCEDURES ARE COMPLETED (ANSI 244.1).

Reference Guide for Frame Engaging Lifts.
The Owner/Employer shall establish procedures to periodically inspect the lift in accordance with the
lift manufacturer's instructions and ANSI/ALI ALOIM-1994, American National Standard for Automotive
Lifts-Safety Requirements for Operation, Inspection and Maintenance. The owner/employer shall also
ensure that lift inspectors are qualified and that they are adequately trained in the inspection of the lift.
The Owner/Employer shall establish procedures to periodically maintain the lift in accordance with the
lift manufacturer's instructions and ANSI/ALI ALOIM-1994, American National Standard for Automotive

ensure that lift maintenance personnel are qualified and that they are adequately trained by factory
in the maintenance of the lift.
The Owner/Employer shall maintain the periodic inspection and maintenance records recommended
by the manufacturer or ANSI/ALI ALOIM-1994, American National Standard for Automotive Lifts-Safety
Requirements for Operation, Inspection and Maintenance.
The Owner/Employer shall display the lift manufacturer's operating instructions; ALI/SM 93-1, ALI
Lifting it Right safety manual; ALI/ST-90 ALI Safety Tips card; ANSI/ALI ALOIM-1994, American

LOCKOUT/TAGOUT PROCEDUGRE
This procedure establishes the minimum requirements for the lockout of energy that could cause
injury to personnel by the operation of lifts in need of repair or being serviced. All employees shall
comply with this procedure.
The responsibility for assuring that this procedure is followed is binding upon all employees and service
personnel from outside service companies (i.e., Authorized Installers, contactors, etc.). All employees
shall be instructed in the safety significance of the lockout procedure by the facility owner/manager.
Each new or transferred employee along with visiting outside service personnel shall be instructed by
the owner/manager (or assigned designee) in the purpose and use of the lockout procedure.
Employees authorized to perform lockout shall ensure that the appropriate energy isolating device (i.e.,
circuit breaker, fuse, disconnect, etc.) is identified for the lift being locked out. Other such devices for
other equipment may be located in close proximity of the appropriate energy isolating device. If the
identity of the device is in question, see the shop supervisor for resolution. Assure that proper
authorization is received prior to performing the lockout procedure.
Lockout Procedure
1. Notify all affected employees that a lockout is being performed and the reason for it.
2. Unload the subject lift. Shut it down and assure the disconnect switch is “OFF” if one is provided
on the lift.
3. The authorized lockout person operates the main energy isolation device removing power to the
subject lift. • If this is a lockable device, the authorized lockout person places the assigned
padlock on the device to prevent its unintentional reactivation. An appropriate tag is applied
stating the person’s name, at least 3” x 6” in size, an easily noticeably color, and states not to
operate device or remove tag. • If this device is a non-lockable circuit breaker or fuse, replace
with a “dummy” device and tag it appropriately as mentioned above.
4. Attempt to operate lift to assure the lockout is working. Be sure to return any switches to the
“OFF” position.
5. The equipment is now locked out and ready for the required maintenance or service.
Restoring Equipment to Service
1. Assure the work on the lift is complete and the area is clear of tools, vehicles, and personnel.
2. At this point, the authorized person can remove the lock (or dummy circuit breaker or fuse) &
tag and activate the energy isolating device so that the lift may again be placed into operation.

Important Notice
Krown Rust Proofing has been applied to
specific areas of your new lift to ensure
protection from corrosion.
•Please do not be alarmed if fluid is noticed
dripping from openings of the Drive on
Runways. This is normal.
•The application of the Krown Rust Proofing is
completed in the final stage of the lift
assembly process. To ensure protection and
coverage, a generous amount is sprayed and
may still be in a more fluid phase of its setup
when your new lift is put into service. This will
diminish over time, while maintaining
protection of areas that are unable to be
otherwise protected with paint coating.
