 Clear persons and objects from lift working area.
 Ensure the lifting platforms are in the lowest position.
 If surface mounted, ensure ramps are properly secured and suitable for driving.
 Drive the vehicle over the lifting platforms (long axis). Make certain the vehicle is centered on the lift from side
to side. Determine the vehicles center of gravity and position it over the center of the lift scissors (slightly in
front of the center of the platforms).
The manufacturer’s service garage lift points may be marked on the
undercarriage of the vehicle with triangle shaped markings. If the lift
points are not marked on the vehicle, refer to the vehicle manufacturer
for the approved lift points.
The Center of Gravity must be located slightly towards the front of the
lifting platforms, positioned directly over the center of the scissors.
(Hose Side)
 Secure the vehicle from rolling, put into gear, and apply the parking brake.
 Check all the danger points of the lift to ensure that loose objects or people are clear from lift and working area.
6.2. To Lift Vehicle
 Position the high-density blocks under the pick-up points of the vehicle as described
by the vehicle manufacturer. If the platforms are positioned too wide apart to
contact a specific vehicle’s lifting points, use the Quick Lube HF arms to reach the
lifting points instead.
 Be certain that no bystanders are in or around the vehicle before lifting.
 Lift the handle directly upward and push it FORWARD (Fig. 1). Carefully watch the lift
until it contacts the vehicle’s pickup points. Release the handle.
 Walk around the vehicle and assure that the vehicle’s lifting points are making full contact with the blocks/arms.
Continue to raise the vehicle.
 Once the wheels clear the ground, ensure the vehicle is safely positioned by a generous shaking. If the vehicle
appears unstable, lower the vehicle, and reposition.
 Raise the vehicle to the desired working height making certain that no bystanders are in or around the vehicle
during the entire process.
6.3. To Lower and Unload Vehicle
 Lift the handle directly upward and pull it BACKWARD to lower the vehicle. The further down the handle is
pulled, the faster the vehicle will descend.
Danger!
The blocks must be positioned in a safe and secure
manner or the vehicle could slip and fall from the lift. Always
place blocks flat, not on the narrow edges.
Modified or specialty vehicles: Contact vehicle
manufacturer to
determine if vehicle can be lifted on a hinged-pad frame
engaging lift.
Danger!
When lowering the
lift
absolute care must be taken to
ensure that there are no objects or bystanders in the area in

7. Inspection and Maintenance Plan
Attention! Before conducting maintenance work, safety
precautions must be in place to eliminate harm to people working
with or around the lift.
Danger! To avoid personal injury, allow only qualified technicians
to perform maintenance on the lift.
Service must be performed at regular intervals of 3 months in accordance with service
manual. Proof of maintenance records may be a prerequisite for warranty claims. The
maintenance rate must be increased if the lift is in continuous operation, in a dirty
environment, or in contact with de-icing salts, sand, pebble stones, natural soil, and
industrial dust of all manner, water, or constant humidity caused by insufficient ventilation.
During daily operation, the lift must be closely observed to ensure that it is functioning
correctly. In the case of malfunction or fluid leak, Technical Service must be informed.
7.1. How often must the lift be cleaned?
The schedule depends on the cleanness of the workshop and location of the lift. The degree may vary depending on the
season, weather conditions, and the ventilation of the workshop. The best protection for the lift is a regular cleaning
every month. Under bad conditions, it may be necessary to clean the lift every week.
7.1.1. Daily Maintenance
 Clean the lift and the floor with a mild, non-abrasive detergent.
 Remove dirt with a sponge, or if necessary, a soft brush.
 Rinse away detergent with sponge.
 Do not leave any kind of liquid on machine.
 Check for proper operation after any power failure or flooding of the lift of any type.
 Perform equalization procedure if platforms become unleveled. (See Sec 12.5)
 Check for leaking fluid from pump, hoses, tubes, or cylinders.
 Prevent corrosion by oiling metallic surfaces and retouching paint.
 Lubricate all fittings with high pressure grease.
 Check condition of high-density blocks and replace if worn.
 Check condition of lifting arms, ensure they have full mobility.

 During winter months in “snow belt” areas great care should be taken to keep the lift as free from corrosive
ice/snow melting agents as possible.
7.1.2. Yearly Maintenance
Safety Related
 Check for proper function of all mechanical and hydraulic locking functions.
 Check for proper anchoring to the floor.
 Check for floor stability. (no cracking)
 Check for potential structural failure particularly in welded areas.
 Check for bending or distortion of mechanical parts.
 Replace safety related parts if there is any doubt about the ability to perform their function.
Maintenance Related
 Check for any hydraulic leaks and condition of tubes and hoses.
 Check electrical connections, switches, and fuses.
 Check for wear on bearings, hinge points and shafts.
 Check for condition of all lifting pads.
 Check for corrosion.
 Replace any worn or improperly functioning part before breakdown occurs to save future service charges and
down time.
 Replace hydraulic hoses and fluid every 4 years. Replace hydraulic fluid with AW light 150 ISO32 or equivalent.
The condition of the hydraulic hoses is crucial to the function and safety
of the lift. Keep a constant eye for tearing, bulging, or any other
deformations in the hoses. If any hose is found to be damaged,
Nussbaum recommends replacing ALL the hoses.
Danger! Before beginning any maintenance work: Locate the power
supply main switch and turn off. Secure the danger area around the lift
and secure the lift with safety stands to guard against unintentional
lowering.
Inspection, repair, and maintenance must be performed by a certified Nussbaum technician who has been trained on
the lift they are servicing. They must be able to make proper judgment on the repair or maintenance that needs
performed to ensure full safety, operational reliability, and structural integrity during the lifetime of the lift. Proper
maintenance records should be kept to back up possible warranty claims.
Danger!
Never use any type of pressure or steam cleaning
devices on the lift. Damage to the seals and hoses could occur
causing failure of the hydraulic system.

ACTION/PRODUCT
Clean the Piston-Rod. Use compressed air.
Check Oil Level. Fill the tank with a clean, high quality AW32 oil.
Change the hydraulic oil at least once every 4 years. To change the oil, lower the lift to its lowest position.
Empty tank and refill with clean oil. Approximately 2 Gallons
(If ambient temperature is under 40 degrees Fahrenheit, use lower
than 32 viscosity).
Dispose of used oil according to the appropriate regulations.
Check all welded joints for cracks. If any cracks are found on the lift, stop use immediately. Switch-off
and secure the power supply and call service provider.
Check all external surfaces for damage. If damaged, repair immediately. If repairs are not made
immediately, permanent damage to the powder-coated surface may
result.
Repair and clean damaged areas with an abrasive paper (120 grit).
Coat repaired area with a suitable paint (observe the RAL Number).
Check Zinc Surface. White rust can result from
moisture laying in certain areas for long periods of
time or poor ventilation. Poor ventilation can also
result in rust formation. Rust may result from
mechanical damage, wear, aggressive sediments (de-
icing salt, liquids), or insufficient cleaning.
Repair and clean these areas with abrasive paper (240 grit). Coat
repaired area with a suitable paint (observe the RAL Number).
Check all safety devices. All safety devices must be in good working condition. If not, contact

10. Filling the Hydraulic Systems
The lift is fully assembled and tested to assure functionality at the factory and is delivered with the setup hoses
connected to the unit. After unpacking the power unit, loosen the Allen head screws to remove the back cover and fill
the power unit with a high-quality hydraulic oil with a viscosity of AW32. The required oil volume is approximately 2
gallons. After filling, the oil must be near the top of the oil dipstick or to the “fill” line.
 Make certain the lift area is free of all bystanders.
 Check all hydraulic connections for tightness, most leaks occur at connection points.
11. Preparing for Installation
11.1. Safety Checks and Tools
The safety checklist is necessary to guarantee safe operation of the lift during use.
Safety checks should occur as follows: after installation, before initial startup, after initial startup, at least once a year,
and any time modifications have been made to the lift. The safety checklists can be found before the Appendix section.
A. TOOLS NEEDED FOR THE INSTALLATION
 Marking Pen
 Tape Measure
 4’ Level
 Hammer Drill
 ½” & ¼” Masonry Bits
 Metric Hex Key Set
 Hammer
 SAE Wrench Set
 Transmission funnel
B. SUPPLIES NEEDED FOR INSTALLATION
 8 ½” x 6-½” concrete anchors (additional 16 if installing surface ramps)
 4 ¼” x 3” concrete anchors
 2 gallons AW32 light hydraulic fluid or equivalent.
Danger!
The lift
is pre
-
tested at the factory, so the hoses and
cylinders are already full of oil. Over-filling the system before
bleeding and lowering can cause the tank to overflow due to the
excess fluid.
This procedure must always be completely carried out, meaning
first fill and then bleed (see section 12.5). This is the only method of
balancing a lift with HyperFlow
Danger! Before the installation of the lift, secure the installation
area to prevent access by unauthorized persons.
Attention!
Before beginning installation, familiarize yourself with
the entire installation process and with the “Foundation Plan”
(Appendix 4 and5).

11.2. Prepare Lift Assembly Location
Attention!
These locations are merely guidelines. The shop owner
should always be consulted to determine work habits, vehicles
serviced and preferences of the shop technicians.
The installation of the lift is performed by manufacturer trained technicians or by the manufacturer’s distribution
partner. The lift owner may use their trained mechanics to install the lift. The installation must be performed
according to the following regulations:
 Lift is intended for indoor installation only. Installation in an outdoor application is prohibited and will void the
warranties of the product.
 Always consult a qualified person regarding local regulations for seismic requirements.
 Do not install lift in hazardous locations, depression areas, or washing stalls.
 Concrete must have compression strength of at least 3,500 PSI and be a minimum of 4 inches thick.
 Mount on a level foundation.
11.3. Establishing Front or Rear Platform Guidelines
 The exact front/rear placement of the lift is entirely up to the discretion of the lift owner based on space
limitations and lift usage. The following are the MINIMUM guidelines we recommend for lift placement. It is the
responsibility of the lift owner and installers to determine how much clearance space is needed for the given
location to ensure safe use.
 Establishing location from the lift front: Allow at least 8’ between the front of the lift platform and any
obstacles.
 Establishing location from the lift rear: Allow at least 10’ from the inside of the door to the rear of the
platform.
11.4. Concrete Foundation for Flush Mounting the Lift
 If flush mounting the Quick Lube HF, follow foundation plans in Appendix 4 during pouring of concrete floor.
 If not flush mounting, ignore this section.

12.2. Preparing Lift Platforms for Installation
For installation, the lifting platforms must be fully raised to allow access to the anchoring holes. The provided
hydraulic starter hoses come connected to the lifting platforms and power unit. Check all connections to ensure
that they are tight. Fill the system with proper hydraulic fluid (section 10).
Remove the bolts from the side of the power unit lifting handle (Figure 2)
and take handle apart completely. Remove screws from the side of the
power unit top cover and lift it off. Once the top cover is removed, have a
qualified electrician connect electrical power to the power unit (Appendix
3). Use the power handle to raise the lifting platforms (see section 6.2).
The maximum height of the lift is 36” (915mm).
With the platforms raised they can now be properly positioned.
Determining this positioning will depend on if the lift is being flush
mounted below the concrete surface level, or if it is being mounted
straight onto the surface level. However, in both cases the front of the platforms (hydraulic hose end) need to
face the same direction. If this is followed, the joints of the lifting arms will be on the outside edges of the lift
(figure 3).
If the lift is being flush mounted below the surface level
concrete, simply follow the foundation plans in Appendix 4
for proper positioning and skip ahead to section 12.3.
If the lift is being surface mounted, begin by placing one
platform on either side of the central pit. Align each platform
so that its inner most edge is flush with the edge of the pit.
Ensure that the lifting platforms are square with one another
and the pit. Finally, align the front edge of each platform
with the other, so that the two lifts are at the same location
relative to the length of the pit. Once finished, the
arrangement should resemble figure 3. Check the underside
of each lifting platform to ensure that the base is making full
and complete contact with the ground. If there are gaps between the frame and the floor, those areas in which
the load of the lift is passed to the base frame must be filled with high strength grout.
Always keep the lift area free of bystanders and
objects whenever raising or lowering the lift.

12.3. Mounting the Platform and Power Unit
Drill ½” (12mm) mounting holes through their corresponding locations in
the four corners of each platform. To ensure the platforms do not move
during the drilling process, insert an anchor after each hole is drilled.
Make sure to clean all debris from holes before inserting anchors. (Fig. 4)
Determine the final location for the power unit. Ensure that this location
guarantees a safe distance from the lifting platforms for both the unit and
its operator. Once a safe location has been established, drill ¼” (6mm)
holes through corresponding locations in the base (Fig. 6). Insert anchors
as the holes are drilled to prevent any potential movement.
If the lift is being surface mounted, place the four loading ramps around
the lift as shown in figure 3. Like the platforms, the inner side of the ramps
should be flush with the pits edge, as shown in figure 5. Push the ramps up
against the lifting platforms on their front and back side. Create a small
gap (~1/2”) between the ramps and platforms to ensure that they do not
scrape against one another during lift operation. Drill ½” holes in the 4
anchoring points on the ramp and install anchors.
12.4. Custom Hose Runs
As mentioned previously (Section 3), it is the responsibility of the
customer to provide all necessary hydraulic hosing and components
needed for a custom hose run to account for the pit/work area layout.
The hoses used with this system are ¼” double braided with “8 light”
metric fittings. Once the platforms and power unit have been fully
mounted to the concrete, begin this run of hydraulic hoses between
the power unit and the platforms. Use the diagram in Appendix 2 to
ensure that all connections are correct.
When the hoses have been run and properly connected, do a final
visual inspection to make sure that there are no kinks in the hoses, and
that no components of the hydraulic circuit are in any danger of being
crushed or broken by the movement of the lift. Cycle the lift through
several up/down cycles observing all hydraulic hoses and fittings for
leaks. If leaks are present, tighten fittings to eliminate. If leaks are still
present, contact Nussbaum Technical Service.
As the Quick Lube
HF
will most likely be
installed on an area over a basement, the
utmost attention must be paid to how it is
anchored. Many buildings use stress cast,
precast or post cable tensioned
concrete. Improper anchoring of the lift into
these surfaces can severely reduce the load
capacity. You must understand the kind of slab
you are anchoring to and follow the
appropriate anchoring techniques for it.

12.5. Bleeding and Equalization of the Lift
Make sure there is no external leaking of hydraulic fluid. Use the handle to raise the lift to the highest position.
Once the lift reaches the maximum height, continue allowing the motor to run for approximately 30 seconds,
adding fluid if necessary.
This allows the Hyperflow system to circulate all air back to the hydraulic reservoir!

If the
lift
raises abruptly from its lowest position, the
platforms are unequal. Also if the lift does not
completely lower, bleeding might be necessary
