14. Train Customer on Operation of the Lift
IMPORTANT: Shop air must be connected to the inlet port at the FRL unit on the console, in
order for lift to operate.
8.0 INSTRUCTIONS
When the lift arrives on site please read the owner’s installation and operation manual completely.
Check the contents to make sure no parts are missing before starting installation. Gather all of the
tools listed and make sure that the instructions are fully understood before commencing with the
installation.
IMPORTANT: It is the user’s responsibility to provide a satisfactory installation area for the lift. Lifts
should only be installed on level concrete floors with a minimum thickness of six inches
(6") or 152 mm. Concrete must have a minimum strength of 4000 psi or 28 MPa and
should be aged thirty (30) days prior to installation. Please consult the architect,
contractor or engineer if doubt exists as to the strength and feasibility of the floor to
enable proper lift installation and operation.
A qualified person should be consulted to address seismic loads and other local or state
requirements.
It is the user’s responsibility to provide all wiring for electrical hook-up prior to installation and to insure
that the electrical installation conforms to local building codes. Where required, it is the user’s
responsibility to provide an electrical isolation switch located in close proximity to the lift that will
enable emergency stop capability and isolate electrical power from the lift for any servicing
requirements.

8.1 Flushmount Bay Layout
NOTE: Leave any additional room for any desired aisle or work area. Recommended clearance
around the lift is a minimum of three (3) feet. Ensure clearance conforms to local building and fire
codes.
Recommended overhead clearance is a minimum of twelve (12) foot ceiling providing 6 feet for the
maximum lift height and 6 feet for the supported vehicle. For vehicles taller than 6 feet it is
recommended that the user provides additional overhead clearance or a shut off mechanism to stop
the lift from raising the vehicle too high.
***Please contact customer service for latest installation diagram as it may change without
notice.

8.3 Baseframe Location
IMPORTANT: DO NOT CUT THE
SHIPPING STRAPS HOLDING
EACH SCISSOR ASSEMBLY
TOGETHER UNTIL
INSTRUCTED TO DO SO.
1. With reference to Figure 3,
the installer should locate the
most suitable location in the
shop for the lift.
2. Snap a chalk line for the
centerline of the lift ensuring
that it matches the centerline of
the bay door.
3. Measure and snap two (2)
parallel chalk lines on either
side the centerline for the
inside edges of the
baseframes. Refer to Figure
4 for the dimensions
necessary to provide the
desired width between the
two runways. A distance of
36" (914mm) between the
baseframes will provide the
standard width of 38”
(965mm) between the inside
of the runways.
4. Measure and snap a chalk
line parallel to the shop door
for the front of the
baseframes, a minimum
distance of 249 1/8”
(6328mm) for the standard
length lift is recommended.
For short length lifts, use a
minimum of 234-1/8"
(5947mm).
5. Before proceeding, ensure
that once the runways are
installed adequate workspace
will remain in front of the lift. Refer to the minimum requirements listed in the installation and
operation manual of any alignment equipment as needed.
Figure 4 - Baseframe Locations

• Refer to the minimum requirements listed in the installation and operation
manual of any alignment equipment as needed.
8.4 Anchor Location
Figure 5 - Anchor Locations
Do not install the anchors
in the inner two holes.

8.5 Unpacking the Lift
1. Unpack the console and place it in the desired location at the rear of the lift. The console can be
placed on either the left or right hand side of the lift.
2. Unpack the runways and lay each baseframe along the chalk lines.
Do not remove the individual strapping on the runways until they have been positioned
on the chalk lines.
3. Position the baseframes on chalk lines, and ensure that the runways are parallel. Ensure that both
the inside dimensions (front and back) of the baseframes as well as the diagonal distances are
equal.
4. Remove the remaining packing straps, and remove the hydraulic hoses, polytubes and proximity
switch wires from under the deck. Hoses and wiring are located under the rear portion of the deck
and are factory pre-installed.
5. Inspect lift for damage or any irregularities. If any are found, please contact customer service
before proceeding.
Note: Do not pull excessively on the hoses and wiring as it may strain the connections to the
baseframe.

8.6 Hydraulic Connections
WARNING! DO NOT REMOVE HYDRAULIC FITTINGS WHILE SYSTEM IS UNDER
PRESSURE.
1. Open the front and rear access covers of the console.
2. Unravel all hoses, air lines, and sensor cables from each runway and connect the hydraulic lines
as shown in Figure 8. Save the caps from the hydraulic lines for capping other fittings mentioned
in the next step.
• Always make sure that the connections are clean to avoid contaminating the
hydraulic system.
• Do not kink hydraulic hoses or air lines.
3. The primary supply lines and equalizing lines from each runway are:
Left Side (L): Right Side (R):
CL CR
EQL + 2-2718CN EQR + 2-2719CN
(“C” for “Cylinder” and “EQ” for “Equalize”)
4. The two Ø10 mm polytube return lines from both baseframes should be joined inside the console
by using an Ø10 “T” connector (Figure 7) from the hardware kit.
5. Cut off one approximately 6” to 8” (152.4mm to 203.2mm) from either polytube supplied, and
connect one end to the “T” connector to the tank. Next, Insert the other end of the tube to the
pump connection marked “T” (Tank) (Figure 8).

8.7 Air Safety and Auxiliary Air connections
WARNING! WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES AND PRACTICE CAUTION WHILE WORKING
WITH COMPRESSED AIR.
1. Uncoil the Ø6mm polytube from each baseframe that is connected to the air release cylinder.
Route this line to the ‘Y’ connector in the console. (Figure 9, Figure 11)
2. Locate the FRL. The hardware is preassembled on the FRL, remove the two nuts ensuring the
screws do not fall.
3. Assemble the FRL unit to the side of the console with the hardware provided on the FRL unit.
Orient with supply port to the rear of the console and 90° fitting lined up with the hole in the side of
the console.
4. On the inside of the console, assemble the nuts but leave loose, engaging 2 threads.
5. Rotate the FRL such that the 90° fitting passes through the hole. Secure the T-fitting (Ø10 Air
connection) inside the console to the 90° fitting with a wrench.
6. Tighten the nuts to secure the FRL.
7. The Ø10mm polytube for the auxiliary air connections is coiled from left side baseframe. Route
this hose to the console and connect it to the T- fitting inside the console. (Figure 9, Figure 11)
8. A 3/8” NPT fitting (not supplied), is needed to connect shop air supply to the Air Filter / Regulator/
Lubricator Unit. Connect air line to the FRL unit located on the outside of the console.
IMPORTANT: Shop air must be connected to the inlet port at the FRL unit on the console, in
order for lift to operate.

PROCEDURE FOR PREPARING FRL FOR USE WITH LIFT:
1. Disconnect shop air from FRL inlet. Adding Oil to the lubricator cannot take place under a
pressurized condition.
2. Using a slotted screwdriver or an Allen key, remove the filler cap from the top of the FRL.
3. Fill FRL using Snap-On AirOil #IM6 or equivalent. Oil to be filled to the MAX line marked on
reservoir.
4. Replace filler cap to top of FRL.
5. With the output end of the FRL disconnected (remove the quick disconnect fitting), reconnect
the air line to the FRL unit. Air will flow freely through the FRL.
6. Perform Drip Check / Adjustment: Drips to be set to 2-3 per minute.
Disconnect shop air.
