3.1.3 Ground conditions
The lift should be fixed on a smooth and solid concrete ground with its strength more than 3000psi, tolerance
of flatness less than 5mm (0.2”) and minimum thickness of 200mm (7.9”). In addition, newly built concrete
ground must undergo more than 28days’ cure and reinforcement. The ground and its installation diagram as
follow.

3.2 Precautions during Installation
•Joints of oil hose and electric wire must be firmly connected in order to avoid leakage and wire loosing
•All bolts should be firmly screwed up.
•Do not place any vehicle on the lift in the case of trial running.
3.3Installation steps
Step1: Remove the outer packing shown above and take the platforms out from the unpacked machine
package and place them in level with a gap of 850mm (33.5”) between them onto the floor foundation prepared.
Uptight four pieces of screws fixed on the wood pallet and take the wood pallet away from another platform. Be
careful not to smudge oil hoses.
Step2: Connect oil hose (This step is extremely important, so do refer to the diagram for of oil hose connection
and understand the following instructions before proceeding)
a. Make sure there is nothing obstructed or dirty left in the hose.
b. Installers have to distinguish where the chief oil hose to be connected by referring to the below two pictures
and have the chief hose connected.
c. See the left picture followed by; two branches of the chief oil hose are going to be respectively connected to
the tie-ins for chief oil hose reserved on the hydraulic block and the other scissor. Similarly, branches of the
other two leveling hoses are going to be connected to the tie-ins reserved for leveling hoses.
d. Check if all connections are sealed well.

Step3: Connect the electrical wire and air supply system
Connect exterior wires as per the wiring diagram, with the black for phase wire, the blue for null wire, and the
green -yellow for grounding wire. Connect the compressed air supply (air pressure 0.6~0.8kg/cm2) to the air
inlet of the air pump and then have the air hose of the pneumatic safety lock connected to the pneumatic
solenoid valve outlet of the pump.

Step4: Fill up hydraulic oil Pour into the oil tank with 18 liters of anti-grinding oil.
The oil level shall be 10mm to 40mm away from the top of the tank. (Users can measure it by the feeler
attached on the lid)
Step5: Leveling Attention:
Level the platforms before connecting height limit switch. Otherwise, platforms can not rise to the highest
position. Firstly, make sure the oil hoses are correctly connected. Oil cylinders cannot work synchronously or
could be damaged in result of wrong connections. Secondly, Operators can tell the platforms are controlled by
which leveling valves or buttons through the oil hose connection or trial lifting.
Manual leveling
Open one leveling valve and press the UP button to fill oil to the related oil hose. Close the valve to stop filling
oil. In normal working condition, both leveling valves are closed. With both valves open, the platform can still
raise but not synchronously.
A．Both valves open B. Both valves closed：Normal working
C D
One valve open, the other closed: leveling status

Leveling method：
1. Open both leveling valves and press the UP button to have both platforms raised to the highest positions.
Repeat this step for two or three t times. This step could take time because there’s air in cylinders and no load
on platforms.
2. Close both leveling valves as per drawing B.
3. Press the UP button to see if both platforms rise synchronously. (Normally, platforms may not rise
synchronously at this point.)
4. If not working synchronously, one platform must rise faster than the other. (Users have to know which
leveling valve controls which platform for both valves by the way of the oil hose connected.)
5. Open the leveling valve that controls the slower-rising platform. Press the UP button till the platform rise to
the same height. (The other valve at his point should be closed.)
6. Close both leveling valves.
7. Press DOWN I button to have both platforms lower to the lowest position. In case they do not lower
synchronously, open the valve that controls the slower-lowering platform and press DWON I button to have it
lower to the lowest position and then close the leveling valve. If the lift is equipped with a height limit switch,
press DOWN II button when platforms stop lowering at a height of 500mm from the ground.
8. Make sure both leveling valves are closed. Press the UP button to check the synchronization of platforms.
9. Repeat 5 and 8 until synchronization is achieved.
Step6: Connect the limit switch use the screw to fix the shield of the limit switch. Connect the quick
connectors of the limited switch with the control cabinet. Finally screw firmly the fixing clip of the oil hose and
put the oil hose, air pipe, etc. in to the clip and clamp tightly. Till now, the connection of the machine is done.
Step7: Fix expansion bolts (according to the above installation position on the floor foundation diagram).
1. Use an electrical drill to drill anchor holes for expansion bolts. Make sure to drill vertically.
2. Ascertain the bottom plate align with the marked line during drilling. After drilling, remove thoroughly the
debris and dust in holes
3. Put the expansion bolts into the drilled holes and use hammer to hit them inside and then tighten them.

Step8: Install oil hose protectors
Place oil hose guard plates according the bellow picture. There is five pieces in total. Drill installation holes for
expansion plugs according to the reserved holes on protectors of the oil horse. Remove the debris and dust.
Put the expansion plugs under protectors and then tighten the tapping screws on protectors.

4. Operation instructions
4.1 Operation precautions
1. Check all the joints of oil hose. Only when there is no leakage, the lift can only be used.
2. If there is any problem with the safety device, the lift shall not be used.
3. Check if the gravity center of the vehicle is in the center of the lift platform. Otherwise, adjust it to the center
and then run the lift.
4. Operators and other personnel concerned should stand in a safety area during lifting and lowering process.
5. When the operator leaves the control console after the platforms are raised to the desired height, switch off
the power to prevent any wrong operation by unconcerned people.
6. Make sure the safety lock of the lift is engaged before start working under the vehicle and no people are
under the vehicle during lifting and lowering process.

Raise the lift
1. Make sure that you have read and understood the operation manual before operation.
2. Park the vehicle in the middle of the platforms.
3. Place the four rubber pads under the prop-points of the vehicle and ensure car’s gravity is on the rubber
pads.
4. Press slightly the UP button on the control box until rubber pads have touched the prop-points of vehicle.
5. Keep on pressing the UP button to lift the vehicle a bit higher from the ground and check again if the vehicle
is in a safe position.
6. Having raised the vehicle to the required height, operators must press the “Emergency stop” button until the
