1-The main features of the equipment
1.1-Product descripon
This product is a hydraulic li. The product is manual single point lock release, easy to operate. It is suitable for
inspecon, repair and maintenance of a vehicles below 10000lbs.
1.2-Features of the product
When the power unit of the hydraulic li is connected to the power supply, press the switch, the gear pump works,
and the hydraulic oil pushes the piston rod up, which is brought to the pulley and the pulley and the safety lock
tooth will blink and bite each other during each ascent. At the same me, to ensure that the hydraulic system will
not cause slippage.
1.3-Satey mark of the product
Do not come under the vehicle during
operaon. This can cause injury and
death.
Evacuate to a safe place instantly the
event that the vehicle ps. This can cause
injury or death.
Before lowering the li, check that
there are no obstrucons under the
vehicle or the li arms.
Do not operate damaged equipment.
When the vehicle is lied, do not rock
it as this may dislodge it.
Only trained person may operate the
equipment. Inexperience can cause acci-
dents.
Do not li a vehicle using on pair of
arms only.
Do not operate the push buon except
the worker.
Do not rock the vehicle when lied. Do
not use a high pressure cleaner to the
vehicle lower part.
To avoid being electrocuted, disconnected
the main power before opening the con-
trol panel.
To avoid injury, keep your feet clear of
the arms and carriages.
Read and fully understand the manual
before using the li.
Not allowed unauthorized persons in
the work area.
Before going under the li. Make sure that
the safety pawls are engaged.
Posion vehicle with center of gravity
midway between adapters.
Make sure that the front and back balance
when placing the car, otherwise the car
will fall.
Do not modify the control panel or the
safety funcons as this may impair
their funcon.

3-Installaon
This 2 Post Overhead Li is the most common equipment for repairing cars. Its installaon is not only related to the
maintenance eciency but also to personal safety of the maintenance technicians. Therefore, the installaon must
be completed by cered installers according to the User Manual, and in accordance with installaon regulaons.
Recommend to use manufacturer supplied anchor bolts.
Warning: This equipment has 2 installaon methods, which is symmetrical installaon and asymmetric installaon.
No maer which installaon method is selected, all installaon processes including foundaon, beam, column, and
cable xing methods must refer to the corresponding installaon method. Failure to do so may result in equipment
being unusable or damaged.
3.1-Preparaon
3.2-Foundaon requirements
Specicaon of concrete must be adhered to the specicaon as following. Failure to do so may result in li and or
vehicle falling.
◇Concrete must be thickness 200mm minimum and without reinforcing steel bars, and must be completely dry
before li installaon.
◇Concrete must be in good condion and must be of test strength 3000PSI (211kg/cm²)minimum.
◇Floor must be level with no cracks or holes.
Warning: The size and concrete parameters of the foundaon are the minimum strength and foundaon depth pa-
rameters of the installaon. The user needs to adjust the thickness and oor space of the foundaon according to the
maximum weight. It can also be done at the dealer’s suggeson.
Steps of installaon
◇Locaon of installaon
Check and insure the installaon locaon (concrete, layout, space size etc.) is suitable for li installaon.
◇Use a carpenter’s chalk line to establish installaon layout of base plate.

4-Equipment Installaon
4.1-Assemble Columns
Assemble main column & extension column, and then stand up the 2 columns (the column with the power unit base
plate is the main column and other one is the vice column). (FIG 3)
Note: Don’t drill anchor bolts holes or install anchor bolts now.
FIG 3 Assemble Columns
4.2-Assemble overhead top beam (FIG 4)
4.2.1-Assemble overhead top beam
Note: The bolts run from inside of the column and then fasten the nuts from outside of the column.
FIG 4 Assemble overhead top beam

4.2.2-Install the overhead beam cable pulley (FIG 5)
Warning: Symmetrical installaon and asymmetrical installaon of the cable pulley posions are not universal. In-
correct installaon of the pulley posions may cause damage to the cable or the li.
◇For symmetrical installaon, (pre-installed).

◇Mounng posion of cable pulley (FIG 6)
Note: During the installaon, the posions of the cable pulley at both ends of the overhead beam should be in-
stalled correspondingly. There may be a gap between the cable pulley and the sha sleeve, this is for the cable can
be automacally aligned, normal abrasion, Do not add shim to x the posion of pulley, it may cause abnormal
wear of the li.
