3. Safety
3.1 Important notices
This 2-posts lift is specially designed for lifting motor vehicles that weighs within its outmost lifting capacity. Users
are not allowed to use it for any other purposes. Otherwise, we, as well as our sales agency, will not bear any
responsibility for accidents or damages of the lift. Make sure to pay careful attention to the label of the lifting
capacity attached on the lift and never try to lift cars with its weight beyond.
Read this manual carefully before operating the machine so as to avoid economic loss or personnel casualty
incurred by wrong operation. Without professional advice, users are not permitted to make any modification to the
control unit or whatever mechanical unit.

parts of the lift.
➢To prevent evitable incidents, surrounding areas of the lift must be tidy and with nothing unconcerned.
➢The lift is simply designed to lift the entire body of vehicles, with its maximum weight within the lifting capacity.
➢Always ensure the safety latches are engaged before any attempt to work near or under the vehicle.
➢Make sure to place the lifting pads to the positions as suggested by vehicle makers and when gradually lift the
vehicle to the desired height, operators should be certain that the vehicle will not slant, roll-over or slide in
lifting process.
➢Check at any time the parts the lift to ensure the agility of moving parts and the performance of
synchronization. Ensure regular maintenance and if anything abnormal occurs, stop using the lift immediately
and contact our dealers for help.
➢Lower the lift to its lowest position and do remember to cut off the power source when service finishes.
➢Do not modify any parts of the lift without manufacturer’s advice.
➢If the lift is going to left used for a long time, users are required to:
a. Disconnect the power source;
b. Empty the oil tank;

4.2 Checking for room suitability
The lift has been designed to be used in covered and sheltered places free of overhead obstructions.
The place of installation must not be next to washing areas, painting workbenches, solvent or varnish deposits.
The installation near to rooms, where a dangerous situation of explosion can occur, is strictly forbidden. The
relevant standards of the local Health and Safety at Work regulations, for instance, with respect to minimum
distance to wall or other equipment, escapes and the like, must be observed.
4.3Lighting
Lighting must be carried out according to the effective regulations of the place of installation. All areas next to the
lift must be well and uniformly lit.
4.4Floor requirement
The lift MUST be installed on 3000 PSI concrete with the minimum thickness 6” and an extension of at least 4’
from anchoring points. New concrete must be adequately cured by at least 20 days minimum.
Specifications of concrete must be adhered to. Failure to do so could cause lift failure resulting in
personal injury or death.
A level floor is suggested for proper installation. Small differences in floor slope may be compensated for
by proper shimming. Any major slope change will affect the level lifting performance. If a floor is of
questionable slope considering to pour the new concrete slab.
4.5Site layout
• Now locate the lift according to the floor plan the figure 4 & 5, use a carpenters chalk line to layout a grid for the
column locations.
• After the column locations are properly marked, use a chalk or crayon to make an outline of the columns on the
floor at each location using the column base plates as a template.
• Double check all dimensions and make sure that the bases of each column are square and aligned with the
chalk line.

4.6 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 the other one is the vice column) （Fig 6）
Note: Don’t drill anchor bolts holes or install anchor bolts now.

4.7 Installation overhead top beam
1. Assemble overhead top beam (See Fig.7)
NOTE: The bolts run from inside of the column and then fasten the nuts from outside of the column.
Fig. 7
2. Install the overhead beam cable pulley.
Warning: Symmetrical installation and asymmetrical installation of the cable pulley positions are not universal. In-
correct installation of the pulley positions may cause damage to the cable or the lift.
A. For symmetrical installation, use the long shaft and the long shaft sleeve to fix the cable pulley (pre-installed)
(See Fig.8).
B. For asymmetric installation, use 4 short shafts and 2 short shaft sleeves in the accessory box to fix the cable
pulley (See Fig.9)

C. Mounting position of cable pulley (Fig.10)
Note: During the installation, the positions of the cable pulley at both ends of the overhead beam should be
installed correspondingly. There may be a gap between the cable pulley and the shaft sleeve, this is for the cable
can be automatically aligned, normal abrasion. Do not add shim to fix the position of pulley, it may cause abnormal
wear of the lift.
