Safety Precautions
Do not raise or lower the hoist when people are under
near or on the top of the hoist or vehicle.
Always watch the vehicle while raising or lowering.
Always consider the vehicle stability before removing or
adding parts.
Do not use the hoist motion for removing or adding
parts.
Some vehicles are not suitable for lifting on a 2 post hoist.
e.g. Toyota Landcruiser 80 series.
Always keep the lifting pads clean and in good condition.
Use only Tecalemit approved lifting accessories.
This hoist is designed for raising vehicles. Do not use it for
any other purpose.
Do not have vehicle engine running on hoist unless
absolutely necessary, to avoid injury from the hot exhaust
or rotating parts.
Always turn the isolating switch to the horizontal “o”
position when stopping the hoist after raising. Switch-
ing to the “o” position will immediately stop the hoist
if there is any malfunction and will isolate the hoist and
protect the operator should the electrics be damaged in
any way.
In an emergency or when servicing, turn the isolating
switch to “O” and padlock it.
Do not directly spray or hose the hoist with water as it will
eventually cause corrosion and shorten the life of the

Installation Instructions
By following these instructions carefully, your new hoist can be
assembled quickly to give safe, smooth and ecient operation
and an extended, trouble-free life.
Note: Use lifting equipment or extra people to lift & handle the
heavy parts.
1. The hoist must be installed under cover on a at concrete
oor of minimum tensile strength Grade 25 MPa and minimum
thickness 100 mm with at least one layer of F72 reinforcing
mesh. The hoist must not be installed in a location where it is
exposed to the weather or explosive or ammable materials.
If the oor is not satisfactory, a new concrete base with a
minimum area of 3.7 x 1.6 m will need to be laid and allowed to
cure for one month before installing the hoist.
2. Install a mains isolator switch on a wall or column next to
where the hoist power column will be situated.
Note: This must be done by a qualied electrician.
For a three phase hoist, the power supply must be 415V, 50 Hz,
rated to carry 15A full load current and 33A inrush. The wiring
must be 3 core plus earth and a minimum 7-strand, 2.5 mm²
cross sectional area copper. For long runs larger wiring may be
required.
For a single phase hoist, the power supply must be 240 V, 50 Hz,
rated to carry 23A full load current and 132A inrush. The wiring
must be 2 core plus earth and a minimum 7-strand, 4 mm²
cross sectional area copper. For long runs larger wiring may be
required.
3. Unpack the hoist and place the base frame on the oor in the
desired position to allow easy access for vehicles and leaving a
clear 600 mm wide gap around the hoist for operator access.
Note: The drive column goes on the end of the base frame that
has the angle iron tted inside (refer Fig.1)
Inspect the oor where the four hold-down bolts will go. The
hold-down bolts must not be installed within 200 mm of any
edge, crack or other fastener in the oor.
4. Level the base frame by adding 50 mm square metal shims,
with a 20 mm diameter hole in the centre, under the base frame
at the four hold-down bolt holes. When level, add 200 x 100 mm
metal shims under the base frame, as shown in Fig.1, to remove
any gap but without lifting the four corners of the base frame o
their shims.
Note: the maximum permissible gap between the base frame
and shims is 0.5 mm.
5. Drill and t four hold-down bolts. The bolts must be 16
mm thread diameter and tted in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions:
Approved expanding-type masonry anchors – Ramset Trubolt
T16125 and Hilti HSA stud anchor M16 x 140/25.
Note: The bottom edge of the expansion sleeve on the masonry
anchor must be a minimum of 75mm deep in the concrete when
tightened. If the base has been shimmed up a large amount,
longer anchors will be required to ensure this depth is reached.
Some authorities may not approve expanding type masonry
anchors. Approved adhesive masonry anchors: Ramset Chemset
capsule CHEM 16 and stud bolt M 16190 and Hilti adhesive
cartridge HEAM 16 x 125 and anchor rod HASM 16 x 190.
Note: These fasteners require a minimum concrete thickness
and hole depth of 125 mm.
6. Lay the drive chain in the base frame so that it runs between
the chain rollers as shown in Fig.2.
Note: The joining link spring clip must be on top.
7. At the drive column at the end of the base frame lay two 38
mm thick x 400 mm long pieces of packaging wood along each
leg of the U-shaped plate as shown in Fig.1. Position the drive
column so it is laying on its back (as packed) with the column
base plate on top of the wood.
8. Secure the chain limit switch (which comes out of the bottom
of the column) out of the way, then stand the column up on
the pieces of wood. Position the column so the bolt holes in the
column and base frame roughly line up. Make sure the column
is stable on the wood and is being held at all times to prevent it
falling over.
9. Lay the chain limit switch and wiring in the base frame,
with the wiring lying inside the angle iron and the switch on
its mounting plate as in Fig.2. Reach under the column base
plate and t the chain on to the sprocket (it may be easier if the
column is tilted back slightly). Keep holding the chain tight on
the sprocket. Tilt the column from side to side and remove the
pieces of packing wood (be careful it does not fall).
10. Bolt the column down using two M16 x 50 mm long and
two M10 x 35 mm long high tensile bolts. Leave the M16 bolts
undone about 4 mm (two turns). Fully tighten the M10 bolts
with a ring or socket spanner, then tighten the M16 bolts fully
with a torque wrench to 200NM (147 ft lbs).
Note: The bolts must be high tensile, identied by the marking
‘8.8’ on the head of the bolts.

11. Position the block of packing wood at the slave column end
of the base frame, as per Step 7, and stand up the column as per
Step 8. Measure the height of both the drive and slave column
carriages and adjust by rotating the chain sprocket on the slave
column until they are the same height. Move the slave column
toward the drive column about 80 mm and t the chain to the
sprocket. Move the column back again until the chain is tight,
then remove the packing wood as per Step 9.
12. Bolt the slave column down as per Step 10. Measure the
lean on the drive column and the slave column using a plumb
line. Each column should lean outwards between 14 and 26 mm
from top to bottom. Sideways lean should be a maximum of 5
mm o vertical.
13. Tighten the chain by adjusting the four chain guides in the
order shown in Fig.2 until the spring on guide No.4 is just fully
compressed.
Note: to allow the spring to compress, the square locking plate
at the end of the spring must be held vertical by pushing the
top of the plate towards the No.4 chain, guide. Do not over-
tighten the chain, as this will shorten the life of the chain and
guides.
14. Fit the chain limit switch into position, with the limit switch
roller pushing on the plate beside the chain tension spring.
Retain with two M4 x 25 mm long screws. Check the limit switch
roller can still be moved 2 mm to 4 mm clear of the plate before
running out of travel.
15. Apply a smear of grease in the lifting arm pivot holes and the
carriage pivot holes. Fit the lifting arms to the carriages. Fit the
pivot pins and retain with a circlip top and bottom as per Fig.3.
Check the circlips are fully in their grooves.
16. Fit the footguards to the lifting arms as per Fig.3 and tighten
the bolts until the spring is compressed to a length of 46 to 47 mm.
17. Fit the tool trays to 2 of the lifting arms with the M6 x 16
screws and Ø19 x 2 mm thick at washers.
Do the screws up snug tight only, (over tightening will distort
the tray). Check the arms slide in and out freely.
18. Place a lifting pad in the hexagonal hole in each lifting arm.
19. Fit the armlock devices to the carriages and arms as per
Fig.3. Check that the circlips are fully in their grooves and the
Nyloc nut is tightened up fully on the M8 x 55 mm long cap
screw. Lift up on each black knob and check each arm moves
freely through the full arc. Release the knob and check the arm
is locked.
20. Fit the cover over the bottom limit switch and tee piece
using two M6 x 10 mm long socket head cap screws. Fit the
motor cover over the vee belts and secure with the M4 x10 mm
long screw and large at washer.
21. Connect the power supply from the mains isolator switch,
adjacent to the hoist, to the control box on the drive column.
Use the cable gland supplied in the control box to seal the cable
entry in the control box.
Note: This must be done by a qualied electrician.
For a three phase hoist, use 3-core plus earth, 7- strand, 2.5 mm²
copper cable and connect the three active wires to the terminal
strip in the control box. Connect the earth (green) wire to the
earth terminal.
For a single phase hoist, use 2-core plus earth, 7- strand, 4 mm²
copper cable. Connect the active (brown) wire to terminal 1, L1,
on the contactor. (marked K1M). Connect the neutral (blue) wire
to terminal 5, L3 on the contactor. Connect the earth (green)
wire to the earth terminal.
22. Switch on the power to the hoist. Turn the operating switch
to up. The hoist should go up. If it goes down, stop immediately
and turn o the mains isolator, for a three phase hoist, swap two
of the power supply wires at the terminal strip in the control
box. For a single phase hoist, check that the active and neutral
wires have been connected to the correct terminals. Switch the
power back on.
23. Drive the hoist fully up to check operation of the top limit
switch. Drive hoist fully down to check operation of the bottom
limit switch. Swing the four lifting arms in and out with the
lifting pads screwed fully down. If the arms hit the oor in any
position, adjust the arm on the bottom limit switch so the lifting
arms clear. Loosen the chain and try operating the hoist –it must
not operate! Retighten the chain as per Step 13.
24. Apply a liberal amount of oil to the chain and to the slideway
of the spring-loaded chain roller. Fit the drive on ramp and bolt
it down with the M8 x 16 screws and at washers.
25. Drive the hoist up 1 m clear of the oor. Fit a funnel through
the hole in the front blind in the drive column. Pour in a half a
litre of the recommended extreme pressure oil (supplied). Pour
the other half litre into the slave column.
Note: litre of oil will half-ll the oil reservoir in each column.
Do not have the reservoirs more than half full as the excess oil
will be quickly lost.
26. Drive the hoist up and down four or ve times to lubricate
the lifting screws.
The hoist is now ready for operation.

Inspection Procedure
Lift screw
Thoroughly wash the screw to remove all dirty oil. Inspect the
outside diameter and top and bottom anks of the thread for
any signs of scoring or uneven wear.
Note: The major diameter may have small intermittent grooves
in its outside diameter which are produced during manufacture.
Inspect the bottom sealing surface for damage where the oil
seal runs. Polish out any small scratches with 400 grit emery
paper.
Inspect the bearing areas and keyway for signs of wear.
Lift nut
Wash thoroughly to remove all oil. Inspect the anks of the
thread for signs of scoring or uneven wear. If scored, also check
the lift screw and safety nut.
Inspect the thread minor diameter. When new, it is 2.0 mm thick.
If it is worn to less than 0.5 mm thick, the nut must be replaced.
Check that the trigger moves freely and the spring-loaded pin
slides.
Safety nut
Wash the safety nut and brush to remove all oil. Inspect the
anks of the thread for signs of scoring or wear. Check the
thread minor diameter. When new it is 1.5 mm thick. If it is worn
to less than 1.0 mm thick, the nut must be replaced.
Carriage
Pull the top of the catch bar, at the back of the carriage, 10
mm away from its stop and release it –it must return to its stop
without sticking. Look through the hole in the catch bar pivot
pin. The pin should not be deformed at all –if it is deformed, it
must be replaced. Lubricate the pivot pin and spring guide.
Inspect the four plastic slide pads for wear. There should be no
more than 1 mm wear on the pads. Check the M8 cap screws are
tight. Remove and inspect the bearings in the carriage rollers.
The bearings consist of a layer of bronze particles covered by
a layer of teon. If the bearing appears to be mostly bronze-
coloured, it requires replacement; if it is mostly grey/green
coloured, it is still in good condition. Do not polish o the grey/
green colour on the roller pin unless the pin is scored. Polish
only with 400 grit emery paper and replace the mating bearing
at the same time.
Lightly grease the roller pin, bearing, roller slides and thrust
washers when retting. Make sure the circlips are fully seated in
their grooves.
Bottom bearing
Pull the reservoir tube o the bearing housing. Remove the
O-ring, bearing and oil seal. Wash all parts thoroughly. Inspect
the bearings for any signs of pitting or wear on the balls and
raceways. Fit a new seal and O-ring. Repack the bearing with
grease and ret. Wrap in plastic to keep clean.
Top bearing
Remove the cotter pin and remove the castle nut. Remove the
pulley (or spacer) and the top plate assembly from the screw.
Remove the bearing case from the top plate. Remove the ball
bearing, spacer and inner race of the tapered roller bearing.
Wash all parts thoroughly.
Inspect the bearing rollers and raceways for signs of pitting or
wear. Inspect the domed end of the bearing cage and inside the
top plate for signs of wear. Regrease the bearings and ret to the
case. Grease the outside of the bearing case and t it into the
top plate.
To Re-assemble Column
1. Thoroughly clean the inside of the column where the rollers
and sliders travel, then smear with grease.
2. Ret the carriage and position it about 500 mm up from the
bottom.
3. Check the plastic key covers are still in place in the carriage.
4. Fit the lift nut on to the keys, with the trigger arm through the
hole in the back of the carriage.
5. Fit the load ring between the lift nut and the carriage load bar.
6. Fit the safety nut on to the keys in the carriage, with the brush
towards the front. Leave about a 6 mm gap between the lift and
safety nuts.
7. Carefully t the lift screw to the column and into the lift nut.
Support the top of the screw on a spacer inside the column.
8. Wind the lift screw through the lift nut and safety nut. Check
the gap between the nuts is 6 mm.
9. Fit the reservoir tube over the bottom end of the lift screw
(square end rst).
10. Put some masking tape over the thread and keyway on the
28 mm diameter section. Liberally smear grease over the end
of the screw and masking tape. Carefully t the bottom bearing
housing, seal rst, over the end of the screw and past the
keyway. Make sure the seal is not damaged by the keyway or the
step in the shaft and that the seal spring stays in place.
11. Push the lift screw down through the bottom of the column.
Put some loctite on the two cap screws and bolt the bottom
bearing in place. Fit the reservoir tube on to the bearing
housing, making sure it will clear the carriage when it is lowered.
12. Fit the chain key, sprocket and nyloc nut to the bottom of
the screw.
13. Remove the spacer at the top of the lift screw and t the top
plate and bearing assembly. Fit and tighten the four M16 nuts.
14. Fit the pulley and key (or spacer) and t the castle nut. Do
the castle nut up until the chain sprocket is 6 mm away from the
bottom of the columns. Fit the cotter pin.
15. Tighten the sprocket nyloc nut to 80 Nm torque, push the
carriage down towards the bottom of the column and recheck
the 6 mm gap between the sprocket and the columns.
16. Check the two belt pulleys are aligned, t and tighten the
vee belts to give less than 10 mm deection when pressed
rmly in mid-span with a thumb. Fit the drive cover.
17. Fit the lubricating brush to the front of the safety nut and
adjust it so the bristles are just touching the bottom of the screw
thread. Pour a trickle of extreme pressure gear oil along the
length of the lift screw.
18. Ret the blind. Tighten the two top screws until the blind
springs are fully compressed, then undo them one turn.
19. Measure the height of the carriages on both columns and
adjust them to the same height.
20. The rest of the assembly can be done by following steps 7
to 26 in the installation instructions, with the additional step
of measuring the gap between the lift and safety nuts after
installation is complete. If new nuts have been tted, stamp the
new initial nut gap on the front of the carriage.
Note: This hoist is tted with a special safety interlock which
renders the hoist inoperable should the lift nuts fail completely.
The interlock is tted to both columns and will stall the hoist
approximately 300 mm o the ground.
Operation of the interlock can be checked using gauge G15-1-
51 according to its instructions.

IMPORTANT
TEC 3000X 3 tonne screw hoist
A simple daily visual check will ensure this hoist is
operationally safe
The hoist is operationally safe while a gap exists between the lift
nut and the safety nut.
If the lift nut is allowed to wear to the extent that the two nuts
completely close up, then the safety nut becomes the lifting nut.
This will allow the hoist to be lowered, but a back-up safety
interlock device will prevent further use of the hoist until the lift
nut is replaced.
Daily: Carry out a simple visual check to ensure the nuts have
not completely closed up.
Every 3 months: Measure the gap between the nuts. If it has
decreased by 1.5 mm or more from the initial setting, then
arrange for replacement of the lift nut.
