SITE LAYOUT
1. Determine the location of where the lift will be installed based on the size of vehicles servicing. The dimensions shown
below are rough guidelines. "Dry-fit" the vehicles intended to be serviced in the bay by referring to the ALI Lifting Point
Guide for appropriate lift points before finalizing the column spacing.
2. Once a location is determined, use a carpenter’s chalk line to layout a grid for the post locations. Keep all dimensions and
squareness within 1/8"or malfunctioning of the lift can occur.
3. After the post locations are properly marked, use a chalk or crayon to make an outline of the columns on the floor at each
location using the post base plates as a template.
4. Double check all dimensions and make sure that the layout is perfectly square.
NOTE:
Wide or narrow installation is possible. The lift can be installed at a width that suits the vehicles you will be raising.
You may even choose to install additional anchors at varied column positions for adaptability to multiple vehicle
configurations.
5. Recommended bay dimensions 20'deep and 14'wide.
6. Clearance around lift should be 5”. Clearance above lift must exceed height of top of raised vehicle.

STEP 6
INSTALLATION OF POWER DROP ANCHORS
1. Before proceeding, double check location and measurements, make
certain that the base plates of each column are aligned with the chalk
lines. The concrete must be minimum of 4"(101mm) thick with a
minimum compressive strength of 3000 psi (20 MPa). FOLLOW
PROCEDURE EXACTLY FOR PROPER FITTING AND ALIGNMENT OF
ANCHORS. (See figure 10)
2. Use the Base Plate as a guide. Using a rotary hammer drill with a 7/8"
concrete bit, drill the concrete for each anchor to a minimum depth of
5".
(See figure 11)
Do not ream the hole or allow the drill to wobble. Use caution to not move
the Columns when removing the Posts. We recommend having someone
secure or stand on the columns. Repeat for all holes on both columns and move the columns out of the way. After
drilling, thoroughly clean hole using a vacuum cleaner or compressed air and a nylon brush.
3. Set the Anchor Embedment Depth: Fully thread the 5/8"
Setting Tool (P/N 5530405) with assembled Nut and Washer into the anchor. Set the distance between the top of the
anchor and the bottom of the Nut and Washer to 5/8". (See figure 12)
4. After setting the Nut and Spacer, place the Anchor into the hole and
hammer downward on the Setting Tool until the nut and washer are flush
with the surface of the concrete. (See figure 13)
5. To set the Anchor, tighten the Nut while holding the Bolt head (to assure
the anchor does not spin in place). Do not use an impact wrench for this
step. Tighten to reach an installation torque of 90 ft-lbs. (See figure 14)
6. Once the anchor is set remove the Setting Tool and clear the anchor with
compressed air to remove any concrete dust

7. Install both columns with bolts and washers to anchors, check plumb and measurements as shown below.
8. If shimming is required, insert the shims as necessary under the
base plate so that when the provided 5/8 x 2"Anchor Bolts are
tightened, the columns will be plumb both side to side and front to
rear. (See figure 15)
9. With the shims and anchor bolts in place, tighten all 5/8 x 2"Anchor
Bolts tight to the base plate. DO NOT USE AN IMPACT WRENCH or
the anchors could become compromised.
NOTE:
It will be helpful to mark on or otherwise note the location of shims
used at each drop anchor to assist at time of re-installation.
Inspect all drop-in anchors for proper setting and or damage each time the lift is re-installed. Inspect the concrete for
cracks defects and/or damage. Do not re-install the lift if any of the drop-in anchors are defective or the concrete is
cracked or defective.
It may be necessary to shim the columns to ensure that the columns are plumb. The columns must be plumb and
square, or damage or injury may occur when using the lift. Do not exceed 1/8" total shim thickness.
IMPORTANT LEVELING INSTRUCTIONS
Before operating your lift, check to make sure both “A” and “B” measurements are equal. The lift arms must be level
before operation. If your lift arms are not level, shim the columns as required.

4. Tighten the Gear Ring Bolts.
5. Verify the operation of the arm gear stops by pulling up on the
key ring of the arm gear stops. Pivot the arms back and forth
and test the operation of the arm gear stops in various
positions. When releasing the arm gear stop, the pin
should drop, and the gears should engage. (See figure
23)
6. Ensure that the arms do not move when a force of at least
100 pounds is applied laterally to the fully extended
arms. If they move, readjust the arm restraint gear ring
and/or tighten the arm restraint gear ring bolts.
7. Adjust the gear ring on the arm as necessary to ensure
smooth operation and solid engagement of all four arm
restraint pins.
Each arm restraint assembly must be inspected and adjusted as
needed before each and every time the lift is operated. Do not
operate the lift if any of the four arm restraint systems are not
functioning properly. Replace any broken components or components with broken teeth only with authorized or
approved replacement parts.

BLEEDING THE CYLINDERS
1. With the lift in an elevated position, the hoses connected and the oil reservoir full, loosen the bleeder screws
located at the top of each hydraulic cylinder using an allen wrench. Do not completely remove the bleeder screws.
Watch and listen for trapped air escape the cylinders and fluid begins to
weep from the screw area. Once steady fluid appears, re-tighten the
bleeder screw and clean-up excess oil. (See
figure 19)
The lift will move down when bleeding, make sure all equipment, personnel,
hands and feet are clear before starting bleeding procedure.
2. Repeat Bleeding procedure on opposite cylinder.
3. Press the lowering handle on the power unit until the lift lowers
completely to the floor.

DO NOT use lift if an unlevel lifting condition occurs at the arm pad locations that is greater than 3.5"(89mm). If an
unbalanced condition occurs, follow the bleeding instructions shown on this page or consult Technical Support. The lift
must be re-leveled, shimmed and bled each time the lift is reinstalled. Failure to follow these instructions can result in
serious injury or death.
STEP 12
LIFT START UP / FINAL ADJUSTMENTS
DURING THE START-UP PROCEDURE, OBSERVE ALL OPERATING COMPONENTS AND CHECK FOR PROPER
INSTALLATION AND ADJUSTMENT. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RAISE VEHICLE UNTIL A THOROUGH OPERATIONAL
CHECK HAS BEEN COMPLETED.
1. Apply white lithium grease or equivalent to the inside of the columns where the slide blocks glide.
2. Test the power unit by pressing the push-button switch. Raise the lift a few inches and check all those connections for
leaks. If the motor gets hot or sounds peculiar, stop and check all electrical connections.
3. Raise the lift to it’s maximum height off the floor until the lift head stops.
4. Lower the lift down below the first safety stop.
