INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION
STEP 1: (Selecting Site) Before installing your new lift, check the following:
1. LIFT LOCATION: Always use architects plans when available. Check layout dimension against floor
plan requirements making sure that adequate space is available (Fig. 2 & 3).
Fig. 2

5
Fig. 3
2. OVERHEAD OBSTRUCTIONS: The area where the lift located should be free of overhead
obstructions such as heaters, building supports, electrical lines etc.
3. DEFECTIVE CONCRETE: Visually inspect the site where the lifts will be installed and check for
cracked or defective concrete.
4. FLOOR REQUIREMNETS: The lift should be installed on a 3000 PSI concrete with little gradients (≦
1/5” within area of two columns =150” * 35”,).

6
STEP 2: (Unloading and Unpacking)
1. After unloading the lift, place it near the intended installation location.
2. Remove the shipping bands and packing materials from the unit.
3. Remove the packing brackets and bolts holding the two columns together. (Do not discard bolts, they
may be used in the assembling of the lift )
4. Take out the up-rights, lifting arms, pads, accessory box, oil pipes, etc, from the column. Check the
quantity of every item with the pats list. If any missing, please contact with your dealer at once.
STEP 3: (Site Layout)
1. Determine which side will be the approach side.
2. Now determine which side you prefer the power unit to be located on.
The main column has the power-unit mounting bracket attached to the
side (Fig. 5). Note the main column can be located on either side. It is
helpful to try and locate the power side with the driver side of the vehicle
when loaded on the lift to save steps during operation.
3. Once a location is determined, use a carpenter’s chalk line to layout a
grid for the post locations.
Fig.5
4. After the post locations are marked, use a chalk or crayon to make an outline of the posts on the floor
at each location using the post base plates as a template.
5. Double check all dimensions and make sure that the layout is perfectly square.
STEP 4: (Installing the Main Column)
1. Before proceeding, double check measurements and make certain that the bases of each column are
square and aligned with the chalk line.
2. Assemble the uprights to the columns. Raise the columns to a vertical position (See Fig.6 & 7)
Fig.6 Fig.7
3. Using the base plate on the main column as a guide, drill each anchor hole in the concrete
approximately 51/2” deep using a rotary hammer drill and 3/4” concrete drill-bit. To assure full holding
power, do not ream the hole or allow the drill to wobble. (See Fig.8)
Fig. 8

7
4. After drilling, remove dust thoroughly from each hole using compressed air and/or wire brush. Make
certain that the column remains aligned with the chalk line during this process.
5. Assemble the washers and nuts on the anchors then tap into each hole with a block of wood or
rubber hammer until the washer rests against the base plate. Be sure that if shimming is required
that enough threads are left exposed.
6. Using a level, check column plumb for every side (Fig. 9). If shimming is
required, use 3/4 “ washers or shim stock, placing shims as close as
possible to the hole locations. This will prevent bending the column
base plates.
7. With the shims and anchor bolts in place, tighten by securing the nut to
the base then turning 2-3 full turns clockwise. Or tighten anchor bolts to
150 ft-lbs. of torque. DO NOT use an impact wrench for this procedure. Fig. 9
STEP 5: (Mounting the OFFSIDE Column and the OVERHEAD BEAM)
1. Position the OFFSIDE column at the designated chalk locations.
2. Using a lift machine, raise the CROSS BEAM in position
on top of the columns. Bolt it to the columns using the
bolts, nuts and washers (Fig. 11).
3. Using a tape measure to measure the distance between the
opposite corners of the base plate on the columns. Equal
values will insure the lifting arms will be in square. Fig. 11
4. Secure OFFSIDE column to the floor following the same procedures as outlined in STEP 4.
STEP 6: (Mounting the POWER UNIT)
1. Attach the power unit to the MAIN COLUMN using bolts, nuts
and washers supplied (Fig. 12).
2. Remove the vent plug and fill the reservoir with hydraulic oil.
Make sure the funnel used to fill the power unit is clean.
Suggestion: Use AW 32, or 46 Non-Detergent Non-Foaming
Anti-Wear Hydraulic Oil. SAE-10 (Texaco HD46 or
equal). The unit will holds approximately ten Liters
of fluid.
Fig.12
STEP 7: (Routing the EQUALIZER CABLES)
1. Raise and lock each carriage on the first safety latch engagement. It is approximately 30” high.
2. Make sure that the safety locks on each column are fully engaged before attempting to route
equalizer cables.
3. Be sure each carriage is at the same height by measuring from the top of the base to the bottom of
the carriage. This difference should be within 1/4 ".
4. Rout the first cable. (See Fig 13-16) Screw the nut on the cable stud so that half thread pass through
the nut. Pull the other end of the cable and screw the nut on it also. Then tighten both nuts.
5. Repeat above for the second cable.
6. Adjust each equalizer cable to approximately 1/2 ” side-to-side play. So that they are equal tension.

8
Check the latch releases to insure the carriage is still sitting on the appropriate latch.
Fig.13 Fig.14
Fig. 16
Fig.15
STEP 8: (Connecting the hydraulic hoses)
As shown on Fig. 17-19, connect the hydraulic
hoses. When routing the hydraulic hose,
make sure that the hose is clear of any moving
parts. It is necessary to route hose through the
retaining rings or tie hose clear by using nylon
tie straps or wire.
Fig.17 Fig.18 Fig.19

STEP 9: (Install the lifting arms and locks)
Install the swing arms on the carriages using the
included arm pins. Check for proper engagement of
the arm lock. The rack on the lock should fully
engage the gear on the arm. (Fig. 20)
Fig.20
STEP 10: (Power connection)
Make the Electrical hookup to the power unit (, 220V Single Phase). It is recommended that a 220 Volt,
50Amp twist lock plug be installed in the power line just ahead of the power unit. Size wire for 30 - amp
circuit.
Warning: the wiring must comply with local code. Have a certified electrician make the electrical hook-up
to the power unit. Protect each circuit with time delay fuse or circuit breaker 208V-230V single Phrase.60
Hz 50 Amp.
STEP 11: (Ceiling limit device)
To install this ceiling limit device, first is to use the rope grip, fix one end of the steel rope on the washer
on the offside column (Fig 21). Line the rope through another washer on main column, down to the switch
on the motor pump (Fig. 22).
Fig.21 Fig.22
Also fix this end with another rope grip with the tension of rope just enough not to lift up / open the switch.
The ceiling limit device is ready.
STEP 12: (Checking running)
Do not place any vehicle on the lift at this moment. Cycle the
lift up and down several times to insure latch click together
and all air is removed from the cylinder system. To lower the
lift, both latch releases must be manually released (Fig.23).
Latches will automatically reset once the lift ascends
approximately 17"from base. If latches click out of sync,
tighten the cable on the one that clicks first. Fig.23
NOW THE LIFT IS READY FOR USE.

PERFORMANCE
RAISE LIFT
1. Read operating and safety manuals before using lift.
2. Always lift a vehicle according to the manufacturers recommended lifting points
3. Position vehicle between columns.
4. Adjust swing arms so that the vehicle is positioned with the center of gravity midway between pads.
5. Use truck adapters as needed but never exceed 9” of pad height.
6. Raise the lift by pressing button on power unit until support contacts underside of the vehicle.
Recheck to make sure vehicle is secure.
7. Raise vehicle to desired working height. The latch mechanism will ‘trip over’ when the lift raises and
drop into each latch stop. But, to lock the lift you must press the Lower level to relieve the hydraulic
pressure and let the latch set tight in a safety position.
Always lock the lift before going under the vehicle. Never allow anyone to go under the lift when raising or
lowering. Read the safety procedures in the manual.
Note: It is normal for an empty lift to lower slowly-it may be necessary to add weight.
LOWER LIFT
1. Be sure tool trays , stands or personal are removed from under vehicle.
2. First to raise the lift until the latch clears.
3. Pull latch release cables on both sides
WARNING: ALWAYS RELEASE BOTH SIDES
4. Press the lever at the power unit to lower the lift.
5. Before removing vehicle from lift area, position lift arms and supports to provide an unobstructed exit.
WARNING: Never drive over lift arms.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
The following periodic maintenance is the suggested minimum requirements and minimum intervals;
accumulated hours or monthly period, which ever comes sooner. If you hear a noise or see any indication
of impending failure - cease operation immediately – inspect, correct and / or replace parts as required.
WARNING OSHA AND ANSI REQUIRE USERS TO INSPECT LIFTING EQUIPMENT AT
THE START OF EVERY SHIFT. THESE AND OTHER PERIODIC INSPECTIONS ARE
THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE USER.
DAILY PRE-OPERATION CHECK (8 HOURS)
The user should perform daily check. ATTENTION! LOOK OUT! Daily check of safety latch system is very
important-the discovery of device failure before needed could save you from expensive property damage,
lost production time, serious personal injury and even death.
zCheck safety lock audibly and visually while in operation
zCheck safety latches for free movement and full engagement with rack.
zCheck hydraulic connections, and hoses for leakage.
zCheck cables connections- bends, cracks-and looseness
zCheck for frayed cables in both raised and lowered position.
zCheck snap rings at all rollers and sheaves.
zCheck anchors, bolts, nut, and screws and tighten them.
zCheck wiring & switches for damage.
zKeep base plate free of dirt, grease or any other corrosive substances.
zCheck floor for stress cracks near anchor bolts.
zCheck swing arm restraints.
WEEKLY MAINTENANCE (40 HOURS)
zCheck anchor bolts torque to 150 ft-lbs for the 19mm (3/4”) anchor bolts. Do not use impact wrench.
zCheck floor for stress cracks near anchor bolts.
zCheck hydraulic oil level.
zCheck and tighten bolts and nuts, and screws.
zCheck cylinder for free movement.
zCheck cable pulley for free movement and excessive ware.

13
YEARLY MAINTENANCE
zGrease rub blocks and column surface contacting rub blocks
zChange the hydraulic fluid. Good maintenance procedure makes it mandatory to keep hydraulic fluid
clean. No hard fast rules can be established;-operating temperature, type of service, contamination
levels, filtration, and chemical composition of fluid should be considered. If operating in dusty
environment shorter interval may be required.
Only a trained maintenance expert should perform the following items.
zReplace hydraulic hoses
zReplace chains and rollers.
zReplace cables and sheaves.
zReplace or rebuild air and hydraulic cylinders as required.
zReplace or rebuild pumps / motors as required.
zCheck hydraulic and air cylinder rod and rod end (threads) for deformation or damage.
zCheck cylinder mount for looseness and damage.
Relocating or changing components may cause problems. Each component in the
system must be compatible; an undersized or restricted line will cause a drop in
pressure. All valve, pump, and hose connections should be sealed and / or capped
until just prior to use. Air hoses can be used to clean fittings and other components.
However, the air supply must be filtered and dry to prevent contamination.
Contamination is the most frequent cause of malfunction or hydraulic equipment.
