7. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY.
A QUICK CHECK OF THE CONTENTS OF THE ACCESSORY BOX WOULD
ALSO DECREASE THE INSTALLATION TIME.
Gather the tools and materials required for the installation.
Select the location best suited for your lift.
NOTE: In determining lift area check for the following:
-Ease of driving a vehicle on and off the lift.
-Overhead obstructions, low ceiling height, overhead doors, overhead heaters etc.
Minimum ceiling clearance must be 12 ft. Lower ceiling heights may interfere with
servicing some vehicles
-Floor obstructions, drains, uneven floor in lift area, work benches, electrical wiring in
floor, etc.
IMPORTANT: It is the user’s responsibility to provide a satisfactory installation area for the
lift. Lifts should only be installed on level concrete floors with a minimum thickness of four
(4) inches or 102mm. Concrete must have a minimum compressive strength of 3500 psi
(24 MPa) and should be aged thirty (30) days prior to installation. Please consult the
architect, contractor or engineer if doubt exists as to the strength and feasibility of the floor
to enable proper lift installation and operation.
It is the user’s responsibility to provide all wiring for electrical hook-up prior to
installation and to ensure that the electrical installation conforms to local building codes.
Where required, it is the user’s responsibility to provide an electrical isolation switch located
in close proximity to the lift that will enable emergency stop capability and isolate electrical
power from the lift for any servicing requirements.
Recommended clearance around the lift is 3 to 4 feet. Ensure clearance conforms to
local building and fire codes. Recommended overhead clearance is a minimum twelve (12)
foot ceiling providing 6 feet for the maximum lift height and 6 feet for the supported vehicle.
For vehicles taller than 6 feet it is recommended that the user provides additional overhead
clearance or a shut off mechanism to stop the lift from raising the vehicle too high.
An outline matching the dimensions shown in Figure 3 will need to be marked on the floor.
Refer to Figure 3 for outline dimensions. Refer to General Lift Specifications for overall lift
dimensions.
DO NOT install the lift on asphalt or other unstable surfaces. Lift columns are
supported only by anchors in floor.
INSTALLER: PLEASE RETURN THIS BOOKLET TO LIFT OWNER/OPERATOR AFTER
COMPLETING INSTALLATION
ATTENTION! This lift is intended for indoor installation only. It is prohibited to
install this product outdoors. Operating environment temperature range should
be 41 –104 °F (5 –40 °C). Failure to adhere will result in decertification, loss of
warranty, and possible damage to the equipment.

- 10 -
7.1 CHALK LINE LAYOUT
NOTE: For alignment layout, please refer to Figure 2.
None of the front anchors shall be closer than 8" to any edge of a concrete
slab, expansion joint or crack in the garage floor. Review position of front
towers, base plates and anchors, and relocate lines "A"- "F" if needed.
Refer to Figure 3. Make a chalk line parallel to the doorway at least 270” from the doorway.
This will be the location for the front edges of the front tower base plates. Call this line "A".
Determine the center of the doorway and bay. Make a centerline to intersect with line "A".
Make two chalk lines spaced 56-1/8” to the left and right side of the centerline (112-1/4” apart).
Call these lines “B” and “C” respectively. These will be the locations of the inside edges of the
front tower base plates.
Make a chalk line spaced 192-7/8” to the back from line “A”. Call this line “D”. This is the position
of the rear edges of the rear tower base plates.
Make two chalk lines spaced 56-1/8” to the left and right side of the centerline (112-1/4” apart).
Call these lines “E” and “F” respectively. These will be the locations of the inside edges of the
rear tower base plates.

7.2 IDENTIFICATION OF MAIN LIFT COMPONENTS
Identify and unpack major lift components (cables, columns, cross beams) and place them
where they belong (front left, front right etc.) See Figure 4.
Place components in their approximate locations. Do not unwind cables at this point.
Leave cables coiled, close to their respective towers.
Place runways (decks) about 40” apart and about 3 ft behind line “A”

Identify and place coiled cables as follows, close to their respective towers (Table 1):
All cables are pre-install in L.S. Runway, see Figure 5
Table 1: Cable part numbers
7.3 CROSS-BEAMS AND RUNWAY ASSEMBLIES
Unpack lift. Remove all packaging from Power Runway (power runway has four cable
pulleys at rear end) and pull threaded cable ends out. Make sure the cables are in the
proper pulleys at the 4-stack, Figure 5
Position runways on blocking (see Figure 6) per layout lines established as Figure 2 &
3. Use four 30” long 4x4’s spanning the width of the runway and four 12” long 1x4’s to
shim up the jack rail side of the runway. Cable #1, #3, & #4 should be extending out
from the rear of the power runway and cable #2 from the front of the power runway.
Position the front and rear cross beams, Figure 6. (Front Cross beam are marked with
FRONT label on the parts.)
Remove the four (4) cross beam pulleys (one pulley from each end) and the two idler
runway pulleys (also one pulley from each end). The runway pulley pins do not need to
be removed, just lowered enough to remove the pulleys, Figure 10.
Starting from the bottom of the pulley stack, route cable #4 through the access hole and
up out the left end of the rear beam. Repeat for cable #3 out the right end of the rear
beam. Route cable #1 through the access hole, and back out the idler side access
hole. Look through the idler end of the cross beam and ensure that cable #1 and
#3 have not crossed, Figure 9.

Route cable #1 through the idler runway, into the front cross beam access hole, and out
the right end of the front beam. (Don’t forget to route it up over the cross-braces in the
bottom of the runway.), Figure 9.
Route left front cable #2 through the access hole and up out the left end of the front
beam, Figure 9.
Re-install the cross-beam pulleys with one plastic bearing washer on each side of each
pulley.
Re-install the idler runway pulleys, with one plastic bearing above and below each
pulley per Figures 7 & 8. Note: use one 2 1/8” long spacer at the idler rear pulley only.
Confirm that a 2 1/8” spacer is installed at the rear of the idler runway and none at the
front of power or idler runways.
Attach both cross beams to the runways (Figure 7) with M12 x 35mm lg. flange head
bolts (two at each end of each runway) being careful not to pinch the air line. Leave the
poly tubes hanging out the bottom of the cross-beam access holes at this time, they will
be fed in through the runway after the lift is raised. The outermost power runway
slots should be in line with the outermost holes in the top of the cross beam. The
idler runway can be installed using the outer or inner sets of cross beam holes, see
“Width Between Runways” dimension in Page 6. Do not torque bolts yet.
Check the layout of the lift in the bay. (This is the last opportunity to re-position the lift.)
Adjust the position of the runways so the distance from power side jack rail to idler side
jack rail is the same at the front and the rear and the diagonal measurements from the
front tip of one rail to rear tip of the opposite rail are within 1/4”, Figure 9.
Center cross beam bolts with slots in runway and tighten. (Be careful not to move
runways.)

7.4 COLUMN INSTALLATION
Stand up a column assembly near each corner of the lift (column with power unit
bracket goes at the front left corner, power front) and check the locking ladder bar
orientation per Figure 11. Note that the center of the threaded rod is offset (away from
the back of the column) from the center of the ladder. Thread the locking ladder jam nut
(located under the column top plate) down approximately 6” to allow the ladder to be
lifted freely.
Slide power side column onto cross beam until the M8 threaded holes in the side of the
beam are just exposed. Position slide blocks as shown in Figure 12 and attach with M8
x 16mm lg. bolts (apply thread locking compound before installing).
Raise the locking ladder, push the column against the slide blocks, and lower the ladder
into the slide blocks, Figure 13.

7.5 ANCHOR COLUMNS
Prior to installing anchors, assemble the nut and washer onto anchors. A minimum of
six threads must be visible below the surface of the nut. Refer to the Figure 14 while
reading through the following instructions.
The anchor bolts must be installed at least 8” from any crack, edge, or expansion joint.
Use a concrete hammer drill with a 3/4-inch carbide bit. Tip diameter should conform to
ANSI Standard B94.12-1977 (.775 to .787). Do not use excessively worn bits or bits
which have been incorrectly sharpened. A core bit may be necessary if an obstruction is
encountered. Never substitute with shorter anchor.
Drill the anchor holes using the base plate as a template. Drill completely through the
concrete floor.
Vacuum dust from the hole for proper holding power.
Shim columns to plumb using the shims provided or steel washers. DO NOT shim more
than 1/2" at any given point. Use a level no less than 24” in length to plumb columns.
Assemble washer and nut to anchor with nut just below impact section of bolt. Drive
anchor into hole until nut and washer contact base. Tighten anchor bolts and recheck
column for plumb. Re-shim as required.
Torque to 120 foot-pounds (163Nm) to set anchors.
NOTE: Level bubble should not only be between the lines, the bubble should be
centered between the lines. If the provided shims do not allow sufficient
centering of the bubble, it is best to lean the rear columns in the direction toward
each other and the front columns in the direction toward each other.
NOTE: If anchors do not tighten to required torque, OR project more than 2-1/2” above the
concrete surface, the concrete under the towers may not be sufficient and need to be
replaced by an appropriate concrete pad.
NOTE: In cases where the floor is extremely out of level, the mechanical safety latches
may not engage on the same lock
NOTE: The 3/4” 5-1/2” lg. wedge anchor bolts supplied must have
a minimum embedment of 3” into the concrete floor.
Figure 14

- 18 -
DO NOT use more than 1/2” (13mm) of shims. Anchor bolts supplied
allow for a maximum of 1/2” (13mm) of shim. If more than 1/2” (13mm)
of shims are required, DO NOT proceed with installation and contact Snap-on Equipment
Technical Support for further details.
NOTE: Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 to ensure that the column is still in the proper
position.
NOTE: Level bubble should not only be between the lines, the bubble should be centered
between the lines. If the provided shims do not allow sufficient centering of the bubble, it is
best to lean the rear columns in the direction toward each other and the front columns in
the direction toward each other.
7.6 CABLE INSTALLATION
Install the four cable ends with two 7/8-9 nut, Figure 15.
Route the cable in front of safety pulley at all four corners, Figure 16.
.
7.7 POWER UNIT AND AIR BUTTON VALVE ASS’Y INSTALLATION
Install the power unit and the air button valve assembly on the power column, Figure
17.
Install O-Ring end of 45-degree hydraulic elbow (9/16-18 O-Ring x 37 Male JIC) to
power unit output port. The hydraulic hose is pre-installed to the hydraulic cylinder and
secured inside the runway. Pull loose end out through 1 ½” x 4 ½” slot in the side of
the power runway near the power unit and attach to the elbow fitting, Figure 17.
Pull loose end out of Jack Beam air source φ10mm tube through 1 ½” x 4 ½” slot in
the side of the power runway near the power unit and attach to tee φ10 poly tube of Air
Button Valve Assembly, Figure 17.
Have a certified electrician connect the power unit to a suitable electrical power source
as shown in Figure 18.

Be Certain All Fittings and Connections are Tight. It is the installers responsibility
to ensure system is leak-free. Fill the Power Unit with three gallons of clean ISO 32
(10 weight) hydraulic oil. Do Not Use Oils with any detergent additives.
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.
Install 4mm safety release air line from air valve assembly thru opening in runway to
Tee fitting, Figure 17.
Pull out all 4mm release poly tube stored inside cross beam, route power side front and
rear cross beam air lines through power runway to Tee fitting. Route idler side front and
rear cross beam air lines through idler runway and connect together with 4mm poly tube
splice provided. Route airline through welded rings on the outside internal edge of
runways, Figures 17, 19 and 20.
Remove the lubricator cap from lubricator and fill with Snap-on Air Tool oil or equivalent,
reservoir should be 80% full. Connect air source to the filter and adjust the pressure to 90
- 120 PSI. Adjust the drop speed to be 2-3 drops per minute.
Air supply must be clean, dry, lubricated, and regulated to 90-120 psi. Failure to
provide clean, dry, lubricated, and pressure regulated air will void warranty on
pneumatic components.
Energize air valve assembly and make sure that all air cylinders are working properly.
Level the runways and crossbeams using laser level and height gauge. With the lift
resting in its locks, place the laser level at appropriate location. Place height gauge at all
four corners of cross beams and adjust location of laser level to ensure all four corners
are within laser range. Find the highest corner and adjust the other three column ladder
bars until reach the same reading from height gauge of all four corners. Tighten jam nut
against bottom side of each column top plate.
Adjust cables until all four cables are tight and locks synchronized when lift is raised.
(One should be able to hear a click sound when lock engages, all four engage sound
should happen at the same time.) Tighten cable jam nuts against adjustment nuts.
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.
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.
