latest standards as set out in AS/NZS 3000,for installations
outside ofAustralia & New Zealand refer to local
standards/regulations.
Circuit Breakers should be of “D” curve type (motor start,
high inrush current) - Ratings given as a maximum for
circuit &motor protection based on DOL selection guide.

Cable sizes are given as a guide only for a maximum
cable length to 30m. Longest cable runs and in area
where supply voltage is belowmotor voltage, calculation
should be made to ensure Voltage Drop will not fall
below minimum operating voltage.
When installed motors must be tested under Full Load checking

No person should be permitted to operate
the MOLNAR FOUR-POST HOIST without first
studying the operating instructions on page
5 and safety precautions on page 4.
This manual should be kept in a safe place
and referred to as necessary.
The installation requirements on page 24
must be completed and the certificate
on the inside back cover must be signed

OPTIONS
As industry leaders in the manufacture of 2 and 4 post vehicle hoists,
Molnar Engineering Pty Ltd have applied this same knowledge to the JB 87
Hydraulic Jacking Beam.
The unit is for use in conjunction with a ramp 4 post hoist and has been
specially designed to provide versatility and ease-of-operation for a wheel
free system.
FEATURES
•Low profile in the parked position.
• Vertical travel of pumping handle provides for ease of vehicle
lifting.
• Support pads and adjustable slide arms and saddles provide
for all types of vehicles and lifting operations.
•Body end rollers allow for non-jamming travel along ramps.
•Large knurled handle permits easy gripping for valve control.

FLOOR REQUIREMENTS
The floor should be a reinforced concrete slab with Compressive strength of minimum 25Mpa.
Reinforcement wire diameter 6mm x 200mm x 200mm square mesh F42 grade.
Minimum thickness of 100mm.
For a successful installation, it is important that the floor is flat and level at the points where the posts
are bolted to the floor.
Maximum level differences are referred to in Figure 4.
FIGURE 2
When the floor slope is greater than the recommended difference (Figure 4) the four post foundation
plates must be levelled by either:
ALOCAL LEVELLING BY MEANS OF CONCRETE FOUNDATION BLOCKS
BBY SUITABLE PACKING UNDER POST FOUNDATION PLATES
Figure 4A shows the recommeded concrete foundation blocks.
FIGURE 3
Adrive-on angle that is too acute (as illustrated) isto be avoided, asthis condition can cause damage to
the underside of vehicles.
