4.0 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY.
A QUICK CHECK OF THE CONTENTS OF THE ACCESSORY BOX WOULD
ALSO DECREASE THE INSTALLATION TIME.
•Gather the tools and materials required for the installation.
•Select the location best suited for your lift.
NOTE: In determining lift area check for the following:
- Ease of driving a vehicle on and off the lift.
- Overhead obstructions, low ceiling height, overhead doors, overhead
heaters etc.
- Floor obstructions, uneven floor in lift area, floor drains, work benches,
electrical wiring in floor, etc.
- Concrete grade: Lifts should only be installed on level concrete floors with
a minimum thickness of five (5) inches. Concrete must have a minimum
strength of 4,000 psi., and should be aged 30 days prior to the installation
of the lift.
Recommended clearance around the lift is three (3) feet. Ensure clearance
conforms to local building and fire codes.
Recommended overhead clearance is a minimum 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.
An outline matching the dimensions shown in Figure 1 will need to be marked
on the floor. Refer to Figure 1 for outline dimensions. Refer to General Lift
Specifications for overall lift dimensions.

TYPICAL BAY LAYOUT

4.1 CHALK LINE LAYOUT
Figure 1. Chalk line layout
•Refer to Figure 1. Make a chalk line parallel to the doorway at least 322-7/8” in
from the doorway. This will be the location for the front face of the tower baseplate.
Call this line "A".
•Determine the center of the doorway and bay. Make a centerline to intersect with line
"A".
•Make a chalk line parallel to line “A”, 263-3/8” back toward the door. Call this line “B”.
•Make two chalk lines spaced 76-1/8” to the left and right side of the centerline
intersecting line “A” and line ”B”. Call these lines, line “C”. These will be the lines that
the outside edge of the tower baseplate runs along.

4.2 FRONT AND REAR CROSSMEMBER ASSEMBLIES
IMPORTANT
NOTE: To determine the front, rear, left side and right side of the decks check the
following:
•The left side deck has the hydraulic cylinder mounted to its underside and
includes the cables. The work steps, attached to the turn plate pocket cutouts,
are located at the front of the lift and should point outward when installed.
NOTE: To determine the front and rear, of the crossmembers check the
following:
•The rear crossmember has three ears for attaching the approach ramps.
There are 2 locating tabs on each side of the crossmembers for positioning the
decks between the crossmembers (see Figure 2).
