IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using your garage equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the
following:
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Care must be taken as burns can occur from touching hot parts.
3. Do not operate equipment with a damaged cord or if the equipment has been dropped or damaged -
until it has been examined by a qualified serviceman.
3. Do not let cord or hoses come in contact with hot manifolds or moving fan blades.
4. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a current rating equal to or more than that of the
equipment should be used. Cords rated for less current than the equipment may overheat. Care
should be taken to arrange the cord so that it will not be tripped over or pulled.
5. Always unplug equipment from electrical outlet when not in use. Never use the cord to pull the
plug from the outlet. Grasp plug and pull to disconnect
6. To reduce the risk of fire, do not operate equipment in the vicinity of open containers of flammable
liquids (gasoline). WARNING: Risk of Explosion: This equipment has internal arcing and
sparking parts which should not be exposed to flammable vapors. This equipment is only suitable
for installation in a garage having sufficient air circulation to be considered a non-hazardous
location.
7. Adequate ventilation should be provided when working on operating internal combustion engines.
8. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from moving parts.
9. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use on wet surfaces or expose to rain.
10. Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer’s recommended attachments.
11. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses,
they are NOT safety glasses.

LIFT ENVIRONMENT:
Mohawk prohibits the outdoor installation of this standard lift, which is APPROVED FOR INDOOR USAGE ONLY,
in a normal garage type environment. Any concerns in applications that expose the lift to additional environmental
effects, such as paint booths, wash bays, outdoors, high or low temperatures, etc. must be addressed to our engineering
department, where provisions could/may be made to the lift to accommodate the area of use. Our engineering
department must be made aware in advance of these conditions and any additional code requirements that must be met.
Also, the foundation for which this lift must be installed on must comply to the minimum specifications as set forth in
this manual. Any drainage slopes in the bay where the lift is to be installed must be directed away from the posts to
prevent water accumulation at the post bases.
Standard foundation flooring and anchorage specifications are contained within this manual. For installation
within a seismic area, a qualified person must be consulted to address seismic loads and other local or state
requirements.
ACCESSORIES:
All accessories (i.e. Lifting Pads, Height Adapters, Wheel Adapters, Turf Adapters) supplied with this lift are
to be used on this lift only. Accessories from other lifts are not acceptable and could result in injury to the

CEILING HEIGHT WARNING
WARNING:
Ensure that ceiling height* and/or overhead hydraulic line height is greater than the total
lifted height of the tallest vehicle (maximum vehicle height plus lift stroke). Failure to
ensure adequate overhead clearance may cause damage to equipment, vehicle and bodily
injury to the user.
NOTICE:
In the event that the ceiling height* or hydraulic line height is reduced less than the
standard heights recommended for the lift, an OVERHEAD SHUT-OFF DEVICE
MUST BE EMPLOYED.
Note that underground hydraulic lines are available, but the ceiling height* must still be
adequate to provide clearance for the tallest lifted vehicle. Ensure that the whole fleet of
vehicles is reviewed and the tallest vehicle used.
*Overhead obstruction of any kind must be taken into account (i.e. overhead heaters,
garage doors, beams, etc..)

The Automotive Lift Institute (ALI) is a trade association comprised of US and Canadian manufacturers and
certain national distributors of automotive lifts. For almost 50 years, the ALI in cooperation with the
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has continued to sponsor the national standard ANSI/ALI
ALCTV:2011 "Safety Requirements for Construction, Testing, and Validation for Automotive Lifts.”
The new "ALI/ETL Automotive Lift Certification Program" is based on ALI developed methods and criteria
for third party testing of automotive lifts to validate conformance with ANSI/ALI ALCTV:2011.
For automotive lifts to be certified, manufacturers must execute an agreement with the ALI and ETL / Intertek
Testing Services and must meet certain requirements:
Must be structurally tested in accordance with the test requirements as outlined in ANSI/ALI
ALCTV:2011.
All motor operated units must be listed by a nationally recognized testing laboratory (NRTL) in
accordance with ANSI/UL-201.
The manufacturer's production facility must meet quality control requirements as set forth in the ANSI
Z34.1-1987 and the ALI/ETL Automotive Lift Certification Program Procedural Guide.
All manufacturer-provided instructions, manuals, and operator safety documents, must meet the
requirements of the ANSI/ALI ALCTV:2011 and ANSI/UL-201.
Lifts meeting these rigid requirements may be listed in the directory of certified lifts and be labeled with the
"ALI/ETL certification mark" (Above on right), and, if applicable, the ETL listing mark to ANSI/UL-201.
Mohawk has been a long-standing member of ALI and most of Mohawk’s popular models are currently listed
and certified. Other Mohawk models are in various stages of testing. To obtain a complete and current
certification listing, contact Mohawk Resources Ltd. or visit www.mohawklifts.com or www.ali-
directory.org To obtain a copy of the current automotive lift standard, contact ALI or ANSI or visit
www.autolift.org
Some people purchase quality products and others do not. You are assured of quality when you purchase a
Mohawk product in compliance with the certification program.

WARNING

DO NOT INSTALL THIS UNIT IN A PIT OR DEPRESSION DUE
TO FIRE OR EXPLOSION RISK
IMPORTANT NOTE
A LEVEL FLOOR IS SUGGESTED FOR A PROPER INSTALLATION
SITE AND WILL ENSURE LEVEL LIFTING. SMALL DIFFERENCES
IN FLOOR SLOPES MAY BE COMPENSATED FOR WITH SPECIAL
LIFTING PADS. ANY MAJOR SLOPE CHANGES WILL AFFECT THE
LOW PROFILE HEIGHT OF THE LIFTING PADS AND / OR THE
UNITS LEVEL LIFTING PERFORMANCE. IF A FLOOR IS OF
QUESTIONABLE SLOPE, CONSIDER A SURVEY OF THE SIGHT
AND / OR THE POSSIBILITY OF POURING A NEW LEVEL
CONCRETE SLAB SECTION. SIMPLY STATED, FOR OPTIMUM
LEVEL LIFTING, THE EQUIPMENT, AT BEST, CAN LIFT ONLY AS
LEVEL AS THE FLOOR ON WHICH IT IS LOCATED... AND SHOULD
NOT BE EXPECTED TO COMPENSATE FOR DRASTIC FLOOR
SLOPE DIFFERENCES.
THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE INSTALLED ON A LEVEL CONCRETE
FLOOR WITH A MINIMUM THICKNESS OF 4-1/2“ THE CONCRETE
MUST BE AGED AT LEAST (28) TWENTY EIGHT DAYS PRIOR TO
INSTALLATION AND HAVE A MINIMUM COMPRESSIVE
STRENGTH OF 4000 P.S.I.
DO NOT INSTALL THIS UNIT ON ANY ASPHALT SURFACE.
DO NOT INSTALL THIS UNIT ON ANY SURFACE OTHER THAN
CONCRETE CONFORMING TO THE MINIMUM SPECIFICATIONS
STATED IN THE PRE-EXISTING FLOOR
REQUIREMENTS SECTION.
DO NOT INSTALL THIS UNIT ON EXPANSION SEAMS OR ON
CRACKED, DEFECTIVE CONCRETE. CHECK WITH BUILDING
ARCHITECT.
DO NOT INSTALL THIS UNIT ON A SECOND FLOOR OR ANY
GROUND FLOOR WITH A BASEMENT BENEATH WITHOUT
WRITTEN AUTHORIZATION FROM THE BUILDING ARCHITECT.
INSTALL THIS EQUIPMENT ON CONCRETE ONLY
IF, FOR ANY REASON, A NEW CONCRETE SLAB SECTION IS
REQUIRED, THE MINIMUM THICKNESS, COMPRESSIVE
STRENGTH, AND AGING ARE MANDATORY. FOR YOUR
PROTECTION, CERTIFIED STRENGTH DOCUMENTATION SHOULD
BE OBTAINED FROM THE FIRM WHO SUPPLIES THE CONCRETE
MIXTURE AT THE TIME OF THE POUR. SPECIAL CONSIDERATION
SHOULD BE MADE TO THE JOINING OF THE EXISTING FLOOR
AND THE NEW SECTION BEING ADDED. CHECK WITH BUILDING
ARCHITECT. THE SUGGESTED SIZE OF THE NEW CONCRETE
SLAB SECTION IS SHOWN IN THE NEW SLAB
RECOMMENDATIONS SECTION.
CAUTION
THE EQUIPMENT DESCRIBED IN THIS MANUAL COULD BE
POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS IF IMPROPERLY OR CARELESSLY
OPERATED. FOR THE PROTECTION OF ALL PERSONS AND

IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE OPERATION PROCEDURES OUTLINED
IN THIS MANUAL ALONG WITH THE MAINTENANCE AND
INSPECTION PROCEDURES WITH CONSIDERATION OF
PREVAILING CONDITIONS.
THE EQUIPMENT DESCRIBED IN THIS MANUAL IS NEITHER
DESIGNED NOR INTENDED FOR ANY APPLICATION ALONE OR IN
CONJUNCTION WITH ANY OTHER EQUIPMENT THAT INVOLVES
THE LIFTING OR MOVING OF PERSONS.
ALWAYS CONSULT THE VEHICLE LIFTING GUIDE FOR THE
PROPER LIFTING POINTS ON ANY VEHICLE. THESE GUIDES ARE
AVAILABLE FROM THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS.
AFTER LIFTING THE VEHICLE TO THE DESIRED HEIGHT,
ALWAYS LOWER THE UNIT ONTO THE MECHANICAL SAFETIES.
