1.1 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using this lift, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
1. Only trained and authorized personnel should operate the lift or rolling jacks. Do not allow
customers or bystanders to operate the lift or be in the shop area while lift is in use.
2. Read all instructions in this manual and on the lift. Thoroughly train all employees in the use
and care of lift and rolling jacks.
3. Inspect lift daily. Do not operate if it malfunctions or problems have been encountered.
4. Ensure no one is standing in front or behind the lift while vehicle is being driven on or
backed off the lift.
5. Before driving vehicle on, make sure lift is in the fully down position.
6. Before removing the vehicle from the lift, make sure the lift is in the fully down position and
ensure that all tools have been removed from the deck surfaces.
7. Always raise the lift off safety locks before lowering.
8. Do not allow rear tires or portion of the vehicle to interfere with approach ramp.
9. Be sure front wheel stops are always installed on the lift.
10. Never allow front wheels to strike the front wheel stops.
11. Do not permit employees or customers on lift when it is either being raised or lowered.
12. Never raise vehicle with passengers inside.
13. Always stand clear of lift when raising or lowering and observe “Pinch points” warning.
14. Before lowering the lift, check area for any obstructions
15. Never attempt to overload the lift. The manufacturer’s rated capacity is shown on the
identification label on the power column.
16. Do not override the operating controls or safety mechanisms, or the warranty will be void.
The mechanical safeties are designed to engage automatically on the way up.
17. Always use wheel chocks to keep the vehicle from rolling freely on the runways. Wheel
chocks should be used at the front and back of the same wheel.
18. Always use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) when installing or servicing the lift.
19. Caution! Never work under the lift unless the mechanical safety locks are engaged.
20. Always keep the lift area free of obstruction, tools and debris. Grease and oil spills should
always be cleaned up immediately.
21. Always keep runways clean.
22. To protect against the risk of fire, do not operate lift in the vicinity of open containers of
flammable liquids.
23. Adequate ventilation should be provided when working on internal combustion engines.
24. Replace all caution, warning, or safety related decals on the lift when unable to read or
missing.

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.

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.
