Attention!!!
These Instructions Contain General Data. Any Deviation From Customers Prints Or Specifications Should Be
Clarified Before Proceeding With Lift Installation.
IMPORTANT
Check the containment tube for holes due to shipping damage. Do not install a damaged
containment tube. Contact Rotary Lift Customer Service. If the lift has a chance to be exposed to the
elements, protect the lift.

IMPORTANT
Contact with the electrical heating coils could cause electrolysis and damage the lift and/or its
components. Make sure the lift frame concrete anchors do not contact electrical heating coils, or re-bar that may be
in contact with other embedded electrical sources. The lift being physically connected to any source which promotes
electrolysis will void the warranty.

1. Lift Location:
A. Check architect’s layout if available. Lay out lift as shown in
Fig. 1. Recommended floor slope is 1/16" per foot.
B. SL210i: The 5' 6" centerline to side and 12' 0" centerline
to front and rear dimensions should be maintained to provide
adequate working space. The minimum overhead clearance
should be 85" plus height of highest vehicle to be raised. 24' 0"
length bay recommended. Other lengths may be used, provided
ample clearance is maintained at each end of lift.
SL212i: The 5' 6" centerline to side and 13' 0" centerline to front
and rear dimensions should be maintained to provide adequate
working space. The minimum overhead clearance should be
88" plus height of highest vehicle to be raised. 26' 0" length bay
recommended. Other lengths may be used, provided ample
clearance is maintained at each end of lift.
C. Base Unit Lifts: If you are planning to install roll-on/
wheel alignment runways, locate lift per instructions from
superstructure manufacturer. Use superstructure manufacturer's
instructions for fore and aft, side to side, and ceiling clearances.
2. Excavation: Excavate hole to dimensions shown in Fig. 2.
Dig trench for 2" PVC pipe between lift and power unit location.
Trench should be dug 11" below finished floor grade. Air line and
hydraulic hose to be contained in this 2" PVC pipe.
3. Concrete Preparation:
A. Run 2" PVC from Control Area to Containment Tube. PVC will
enter the Containment Tube 9-1/2" below finished floor grade.
Hole is centered horizontally in Containment Tube, Fig. 1.
B. Box out a 5' x 10' area around where lift is to be located.
NOTE: For multiple lift installations, boxed out areas will
overlap. Dig continuous trench, see illustration below.
C. Pour concrete floor ensuring not to get concrete in boxed out
area.
NOTE: By using this installation method, the RAI can more
accurately set lift to proper grade relative to finished floor.

4. Lift Setting:
IMPORTANT
Check the containment tube for holes due to
shipping damage. Do not install a damaged containment tube.
Contact Rotary Lift Customer Service.
A. Chain hoist must have capacity of 2,500 lbs. with a clear
swing of 9' 0". Rig sling for unit, attaching to the shipping strap,
Fig. 3, and lower assembly into hole. Center lift and be sure lift
containment inlet is located as shown in Fig. 1.

B. Bend frame anchors out perpendicular to concrete frame and
downward approximately 45° to floor level, Fig. 2.
C. Remove and retain (4) 1/2"-13NC HHCS (marked with X, Fig.
3). Insert 1/2" Threaded Rods x 18" lg. into the holes and secure in
place using 1/2" flat washers and nuts, Fig. 4.
D. Attach 6 x 6’s to support unit on existing floor and secure in
place with 1/2" flat washers and nuts, Fig. 4. Remove shipping
straps and install guide barrel bolts in open holes and torque to 60
ft-lbs. Remove protective covers from top of jacks.
E. Plumb and level by placing machinist level on top of jack. Do
Not plumb or level off unit frame. See Fig 5.
F. Shore Lift Securely!
G. Connect 2" PVC to containment tube, chamfer PVC entering
containment tube seal and lubricate I.D. of seal with grease or
oil to ease entry of PVC into seal. PVC pipe should extend into
containment tube 1" maximum.
NOTE: If your PVC pipe and containment inlet do not align, you
may have to cut back PVC pipe, and attach 2" Flexible PVC to
make connection. All PVC joints MUST be leak proof.
H. Recheck plumb.

5. Backfill:
A. Duct tape joint areas indicated by X, Fig. 6, to protect these
areas during backfill and concrete work. Backfill around unit
using only pea gravel to within 18" of top of finished floor.
CAUTION
Do not use a mechanical tamper or saturate
the backfill material to achieve compaction. This could cause lift
containment sides to bend inward, HAND TAMP ONLY.
IMPORTANT
Do Not fill plunger with any ballast material.
B. Complete backfill and tamp pipe trench.
C. After lift is backfilled, make final elevation and plumb checks,
Fig 5.
D. Make sure frame anchors are bent out, Fig. 7.

6. Concrete Work:
A. Leave 6 x 6's in place.
B. New concrete around the lift must be keyed into existing floor
with rebar or stud anchors, Fig. 7.
C. A minimum concrete strength of 3,000 PSI is suggested. DO
NOT use calcium chloride as a curing accelerator. If using a
curing accelerator, we recommend a non-chloride additive such
as High Early* or equivalent.
D. Pour concrete floor, being careful not to run concrete in and
around top surface of lift unit.

IMPORTANT
It is imperative that lift be set level
regardless of floor slope or other factors. Trowel smooth and
allow to harden.
E. After concrete is set-up, remove 6 x 6's and threaded rods.
F. Reinstall the guide barrel bolts, use Loctite 242 (blue) on bolts
and torque to 60 ft.-lbs.
G. Do not use lift until concrete has achieved 3,000 PSI.
