5. Concrete and Anchoring:
IMPORTANT
Reference IN20294 if Sprinter long arms
are going to be used for this installation or if the lift will
possibly be retro-fit with them in the future. Different
concrete and anchoring requirements are required.
Drill (14) 3/4” dia. holes in concrete floor using holes in
column base plate as a guide. See Figs. 4 and 5 for hole
requirements.
CAUTION
DO NOT install on asphalt or other similar
unstable surfaces. Columns are supported only by
anchors in floor.
IMPORTANT: Using the horse shoe shims provided,
shim each column base until each column is plumb. If
one column has to be elevated to match the plane of
the other column, full size base shim plates should be
used (Reference Shim Kit). Recheck columns for plumb.
Tighten anchor bolts to an installation torque of 110 ft-lbs.
Shim thickness MUST NOT exceed 1/2” when using the
5-1/2” long anchors provided with the lift.
If anchors do not tighten to 110 ft-lbs. installation torque,
replace concrete under each column base with a 4’ x 4’
x 6” thick 3000 PSI minimum concrete pad keyed under
and flush with the top of existing floor. Let concrete cure
before installing lifts and anchor.

7
Run nut down just below impact
section of bolt. Drive anchor
into hole until nut and washer
contact base.
Drill holes using 3/4” carbide
tipped masonry drill bit per
ANSI B212.15-1994 (R2000).
Construction dust collected
per OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1153.

Install and hand tighten Branch Tee to pump until O-ring
is seated. Continue to tighten the locknut to 10-15 ft-lbs.,
or until the nut and washer bottom out against the pump
manifold. NOTE: You may still be able to rotate the Branch
Tee. This is acceptable unless there is seepage at the
O-ring. If so, slightly tighten the locknut.
CAUTION
Over tightening locknut may tear O-ring or
distort threads in pump manifold outlet.
10. Hoses: Clean adapters and hose. Inspect all threads
for damage and hose ends to be sure they are crimped,
Fig. 8b. Install hose and hose clamps, Fig. 9a & Fig. 9d.
Flared Fittings Tightening Procedure
1. Screw the fittings together finger tight. Then, using the
proper size wrench, rotate the fitting 2-1/2 hex flats.
IMPORTANT
Flare seat MUST NOT rotate when
tightening. Only the nut should turn.
2. Back the fitting off one full turn.
3. Again tighten the fittings finger tight; then using a
wrench, rotate the fitting 2-1/2 hex flats. This will
complete the tightening procedure and develop a
pressure tight seal.
CAUTION
Overtightening will damage fitting resulting
in fluid leakage.

26. Upon completion of the assembly of the lift, the lift is
to be operated to assure proper function. Observe for
locks operating in all locking positions, each side lifts
equally, hydraulics do not leak, all electrical controls
function as labeled, all pneumatics are functional
and leak free, ramps rotate freely (if applicable), and
proper clearances with all items in bay have been
maintained.
Operate the lift with a typical vehicle and observe to
assure the same items for proper functioning.
