6 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
When the lift arrives on site, please read the owner’s manual completely. Check the
contents to make sure no parts are missing before starting installation. Gather all the tools listed
and make sure the installation instructions are fully understood before commencing with the
installation.
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
five (5) inches or 130 mm. Concrete must have a minimum strength of 4000 psi or 30 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 insure 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.

6.1 BAY LAYOUT
Figure 2. Typical bay layout
NOTE: Leave any additional room for any desired aisle or work area. Recommended clearance
around the lift is a minimum of three (3) feet. Ensure clearance conforms to local building and
fire codes.
Recommended overhead clearance is a minimum of 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.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT UNBOLT SHIPPING CLAMPS HOLDING EACH MAIN
FRAME ASSEMBLY TOGETHER UNTIL INSTRUCTED TO DO SO.

1. After selecting the location best suited for your lift, draw a line parallel to the front of the
lift, approximately 72” (1829mm) back from the cabinet/work bench area. This will be
the approximate location of the front of the lift. Refer to Figure 2.
NOTE: Check the installation area for obstructions. (Overhead; light fixtures, heating ducts,
ceiling, and In-ground; floor drains, electrical, etc...)
2. Mark on the floor an outline matching the dimensions listed.
SPACE SAVER - Alignment Model 9004: 144"(3658mm) Wheel Base. 221"(5613mm) x
84"(2134mm).
9000 SERIES - Alignment Model 9005: 172"(4369mm) Wheel Base. 264"(6706mm) x
84"(2134mm).
- Service Model 9000: 144"(3658mm) Wheel Base. 213"(5410mm) x
84"(2134mm).
- Service Model 9006: 172"(4369mm) Wheel Base. 256"(6502mm) x
84"(2134mm).
3. Draw a center line down the middle of the outline starting at the front of the lift location
and ending at the rear approach ramps.
4. Draw two lines parallel to the center line 18” (457mm) on either side to locate the inside
of the baseframes.
5. Draw a line parallel to the front of the lift, 39” (991mm) back for 144”W/B models and
52” (1321mm) back for 172”W/B models. Align the front of each base frame assembly onto
this line.
6. Check the floor in the outline for the highest point using a four (4) foot level. Mark this
location, reference will be made to it later during the leveling procedure.
6.2 UNPACKING PROCEDURE
1. Cut and remove the metal banding straps that hold the accessory box (and sliding Jack
Beams if so equipped) and place in a convenient location near the installation area.
2. Cut and remove the metal banding straps surrounding the Two Main Frame Assemblies.
Position the Main Frame Assemblies in the location previously marked in the bay layout.
NOTE: To distinguish between the left and right Main Frame Assemblies the pull-out step
should be located at the front facing outward from the lift. All measurements are to be
taken from the front of the lift.
3. Check that the inside of the base frames are 18" (457mm) away from the center line at
both the front and rear of each mainframe assembly and that the front of each base frame
is on the line drawn in step 5 of the bay layout, section 4.1.
