4. FLOOR REQUIREMENT
These notes are for your guidance prior to installation
4.1 SELECTING THE SITE AREA
1. Make sure that adequate space and height is available.
2. Check for ceiling clearance (lifting height plus vehicle height).
3. Check for clearance in front and rear of vehicle on lift.
4. Check for overhead garage door clearance.
4.2 FLOOR REQUIREMENTS
Do not use the lift on any asphalt surface. Make sure the lift is used on a dry, oil/grease
free, at level CONCRETE surface capable of supporting the weight of the lift, the vehicle
being lifted, and any additional tools and equipment. The concrete oor surface should
have a minimum thickness of 6”. The concrete must have a minimum strength of 3,000 PSI,
and should be aged at least 30 days prior to use. Do not use the lift on concrete expansion
seams or on cracked, defective concrete. There should be no cracks in the slab within a
minimum of 36” of the base plate location.
WARNING: SPECIFICATIONS OF CONCRETE MUST BE ADHERED TO.
FAILURE TO DO SO COULD CAUSE LIFT FAILURE RESULTING IN PERSONAL
INJURY OR DEATH. THE FLOOR SHOULD BE A REINFORCED CONCRETE SLAB
NOT LESS THAN 6” (152.4MM) THICK WITH THE COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH OF
THE CONCRETE NO LESS THAN 3,000 PSI (20.68MPA).
DANGER: FOR CORRECT INSTALLATION OF THE LIFT, THE FLOOR MUST
BE FLAT AND LEVEL. CHECK WITH STRAIGHT EDGE AND LEVEL. IF A FLOOR
IS OF QUESTIONABLE SLOPE, CONSIDER A SURVEY OF THE SITE AND/OR THE
POSSIBILITY OF POURING A NEW LEVEL CONCRETE SLAB.

7
IMPORTANT: NEW CONCRETE MUST BE ADEQUATELY CURED AT LEAST
30 DAYS MINIMUM. NO LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGES WILL BE ACCEPTED
SHOULD YOU INSTALL THE LIFT ON AN UNSUITABLE FLOOR.
4.3 IMPORTANT CONCRETE AND ANCHORING INFORMATION
1. Concrete shall have compression strength of at least 3,000 PSI and a minimum thickness
of 6”. Measure the length of the supplied anchor bolts in order to achieve a minimum anchor
embedment of 3 1/4”. If the top of the anchor exceeds 2” above the oor grade, you DO NOT
have enough embedment.
2. Before drilling 3/4” dia. holes in concrete oor using holes in column base plate as guide,
make sure the hole distance from the edge is not less than 6”. Hole to hole spacing should
not be less than 6 1/2” in any direction. Concrete thickness should be a minimum of 6”.
3. DANGER: DO NOT Install on asphalt or other similar unstable surface. Columns
are supported only by anchoring in oor.
4. Shim each column base until each column is plumb. If one column has to be elevated to
match the plane of the other column, full size base shim plates should be used (Reference
Shim Kit). Torque anchors to 150 ft-lbs. Shim thickness MUST NOT exceed 1/2”. Adjust the
column extensions plumb.
5. If anchors do not tighten to 150 ft-lbs. installation torque, replace concrete under each
column base with a 4’ x 4’ x 6” thick 3,000 PSI minimum concrete pad keyed under and ush
with the top of existing oor. Let concrete cure at least 30 days before installing lifts and
anchors.

5. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE STARTING TO OPERATE THE LIFT.
STEP 1: After unloading the lift, place it near the intended installation location.
STEP 2: Remove the shipping bands and packing materials and the power unit from the lift.
STEP 3: Open the wrapping from the upper column and carefully remove the parts from
inside. Unbolt the column from the shipping brackets. Unbolt the up-rights (1) from the
columns (2) and assemble them to the columns based on any height restrictions.
STEP 4: Once the lift location is decided, chalk the center line in the bay and ensure the
proper lift placement is observed from walls and obstacles. Also check the ceiling height for
clearance in this location.
STEP 5: Unpack the cylinders and open the oil port on each cylinder by unscrewing the
black plastic cap. Move the carriage up about 20” to 25”. Next, carefully slide the cylinder
inside from the bottom of the carriage. The oil port will face the backside of the column and
the notch on the bottom of cylinder will t into the hole in the center of the base plate.
STEP 6: Position the columns facing each other 137 3/8” between outside base plates.
4.4 ANCHORING TIP SHEET
1. Use a concrete hammer drill with a carbide tip, solid drill bit the same diameter as the
anchor, 3/4”. (.775 to .787 inches diameter). Do not use excessively worn bits or bits
which have been incorrectly sharpened.
2. Keep the drill in a perpendicular line while drilling. Do not ream the hole or allow the drill
to wobble.
3. Let the drill do the work. Do not apply excessive pressure. Lift the drill up and down
occasionally to remove residue to reduce binding.
4. Drill the holes deep enough to accommodate the embedment calculations for the
supplied anchors (Fig. 1).
5. For better holding power blow dust from the hole (Fig. 2).
6. Place a at washer and hex nut over threaded end of anchor. Thread the nuts onto the
anchor bolts where the tops of the nuts are just above the tops of the bolts and carefully
tap the anchor (Fig. 3). Do not damage threads. Tap anchor into the concrete until nut
and at washer are against base plate. Do not use an impact wrench to tighten. Tighten
the nut (Fig. 4). Two or three turns on average concrete (30-day cure). If the concrete is
very hard only one or two turns may be required.

9
NOTE: THE POWER UNIT COLUMN IS REFERRED TO AS THE MAIN SIDE COLUMN
AND THE NONPOWER UNIT COLUMN IS REFERRED TO AS THE OFFSIDE COLUMN.
STEP 7: Using a 3/4” diameter concrete drill bit, drill the anchor holes in the main side
column, installing anchors as you go. Use a block of wood or rubber mallet to drive anchor
bolts in.
STEP 8: Using a level, check column for side-to-side plumb and front-to-back plumb. If
needed, use 3/4” washers or shim stock, placing shims under the base plate and around the
anchor bolt. This will prevent bending the column bottom plates. Tighten 3/4” anchor bolts to
150 ft-lbs. of torque. NOTE: DO NOT USE IMPACT WRENCH.
STEP 9: Using a tape measure, measure from back corner of the base on the main side
column to the opposite back corner of the offside column to ensure columns are square.
Using the dimensions, install the overhead beam to the top of the columns BEFORE drilling
the anchors for the offside column to ensure the column is plumb.
STEP 10: This cross beam has two pieces (11 & 24) to be connected by four bolts (13) in the
center of the beam. Be sure to bolt them together by installing the bolts from inside the cross
beam to avoid interference with the cables during lift operation. Install the overhead cross
beam. Bolt the cross beam together with the columns.
STEP 11: Using a level, plumb the offside column. Repeat steps 7 & 8 for offside column
installation.
STEP 12: Connect the safety release cable between the two latches (Fig. 5). Check to make
sure the tension of the cable is tight. Pull the single point safety lock release handle several
times and check the tension again by making sure both latches release at the same time
when the handle is pulled.
STEP 13: Mount the power unit on the main side column to the power unit bracket using four
5/16” bolts and nuts. Install the “T” tting (87) with o-ring on the power unit. Install the 6” pipe
(91) into the backside of the main column cylinder (power unit side). Connect the 90-degree
hydraulic tting (90) on the other end of the 6” pipe (91). Connect one end of the short
hydraulic hose to one side of the “T” tting and the other end to the 90 degree elbow. Place
the long hose (98) across the overhead beam to the opposite column, then down the side
and connect to the tting on the other column cylinder.
STEP 14: Connect the equalizing cables (Fig. 3). Do not tighten at this step of assembly.
NOTE: The cable stud that connects to the front right corner of the carriage should be
connected rst by pulling the stud through the carriage hole and up where it is easy to be
held by locking pliers. Pull the stud back into place after threading at least 1/2” of the stud
past the lock nut. Connect the other ends to the rear right corners of the carriage with at
least 1/2” of thread showing past the lock nut (cables run on inside of carriage). It may be
necessary to manually raise both carriages above the cylinder to provide enough space to
use the locking pliers. Make sure the carriage is engaged in the LOCK position.

10
STEP 15: Adjust the carriage cable tension. This is accomplished by tightening the near nut
on top of each carriage. The near carriage adjustment nut adjusts the opposite post carriage
height. The left post carriage nut adjusts the right column carriage, and the right column
carriage nut adjusts the left column carriage. Adjust each cable to approximately 1/2” side-to-
side play. Check the latch releases to insure the carriage is still engaged in the appropriate
latch.
STEP 16: Install the half moon gear locks on each swing arm. Position the swing arms on the
carriages using the included 1 1/2” diameter pins (2 short for the front arms and 2 long for
the rear arms). Check for proper engagement of the arm lock – the rack on the lock should
fully engage the gear on the arm.
STEP 17: Remove the ll cap from the power unit and ll the oil tank reservoir. To ll the oil
tank reservoir, the lift must be completely lowered. Fill the oil tank with a premium quality
ISO-32, or AW-46 Hydraulic Oil, or premium quality ATF-DEXRON-III / MERCON.
STEP 18: Make the electrical hookup to the power unit. (220V Single Phase). It is
recommended that a 220 Volt, 30 Amp twist lock plug be installed in the power line just
ahead of the power unit. Size wire for 30-amp circuit.
Warning: The wiring must comply with local code. Have a certied electrician make
the electrical hook-up to the power unit. Protect each circuit with time delay fuse or circuit
breaker; 208V-230V single phase. 60 Hz 30 amp.
STEP 19: Install the shut-off mechanism for the 11000ACX model (Fig. 4). Install limit switch
(16) and height-limit lever (12) to the bottom of the cross beam support.
STEP 20: Do not place any vehicle on the lift at this time. Cycle the lift up and down several
times to insure latches click together and all air is removed from the system. Insure all
hydraulic ttings are tight and not leaking. To lower the lift, latch releases must be manually
released. Latches will automatically reset once the lift ascends approximately 17” from base.
If latches click out of sync, tighten the cable on the one that clicks rst.
WARNING: DO NOT PERFORM ANY MAINTENANCE OR INSTALLATION
OF ANY COMPONENTS WITHOUT FIRST ENSURING THAT ELECTRICAL POWER
HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED AT THE SOURCE OR PANEL AND CANNOT BE
REENERGIZED UNTIL ALL MAINTENANCE AND/OR INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
ARE COMPLETED.

6.3 OPERATION
WARNING: FAILURE TO OPERATE THE LIFT ACCORDING TO THIS MANUAL
MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE LIFT, PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL
INJURY.
1. Before driving a vehicle onto the lift make sure the lift is fully lowered. Before driving a
vehicle onto the lift, position the lift arms outward. Do not hit or run over the lifting arms, as
this could damage the vehicle and/or lift. Make sure the lift is fully lowered before moving the
vehicle over the lift. NOTE: It is recommended to swing both arms outward pointing toward
the front of the lift prior to loading a vehicle into the 11000ACX.
2. Drive the vehicle over the lift while keeping the vehicle parallel with the lift and aligning
the center of gravity of the vehicle with the center of the lift. NOTE: The “Center of Gravity”
(COG) of the vehicle is the balance point at which there is equal weight in front of and behind
the COG, and equal weight on both sides of the COG. The COG is not necessarily the
dimensional center of the vehicle, but is often slightly toward the engine from the dimensional
center of the vehicle.
3. Turn off the vehicle’s engine and engage the parking brake of the vehicle.
4. Read the vehicles owner’s manual to identify the recommended vehicle lifting points.
5. Prepare the work area according to this manual. Move the lifting arms inward, and
position the rubber pads to contact with the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended lifting
points.
IMPORTANT: PLACE THE FOUR RUBBER PADS UNDER EDGE OF VEHICLE
AT THE FOUR JACK POINTS.
6. Once the lifting arms have been positioned under the vehicle lifting points, operate the
power switch to make contact and lift the vehicle slightly. Test to make sure the vehicle is well
balanced and the contact between the rubber pads and vehicle lifting points are secure by
performing the “BUMPER TEST.” (pg. 2) Then proceed to lift the vehicle to the desired height.

13
7. WARNING: Do not lift the vehicle if you cannot establish secure and level
lifting points. Do not use sub-standard shims or other devices in place of approved and
recommended rubber pad adapters. Never use the lift without the rubber pads in place on
each plate and in contact with the lifting points of a vehicle.
8. Press up button and raise vehicle to desired height. Do not go under vehicle until load
rests on level safety locks.
10. While lifting the vehicle a clicking sound should be noticeable which indicates the safety
mechanism is operating. If this sound is not heard, immediately cease using the lift and call
an authorized service agent.
9. When lift reaches maximum height, a limit switch will come into operation and stop the lift.
When lift has stopped, press and hold the lowering handle (Fig. 1) until load rests on level
safety locks.
11. Once the repair work to the vehicle is complete, make sure to remove all tools, safety
jack stands, and materials from under the vehicle and lift. Also, make sure the work area is
clear and it is safe to lower the vehicle.
12. Lower vehicle by pressing the Up button to disengage the safety locks. Pull and hold
down the safety lock release handle (Fig. 2) to release the safety locks then press the
lowering handle (Fig. 1) until the lift is completely lowered.
13. Move the lifting arms outward, out of the path of the vehicle. Clear all bystanders, and
any objects from work area and direction of vehicle.
14. Disengage the vehicle parking brake. Start the vehicle’s engine, and drive the vehicle off
the lift slowly and carefully.
WARNING: THE OPERATOR MUST BE TRAINED AND AUTHORIZED TO
OPERATE THE LIFT.
WARNING: DO NOT GO UNDER VEHICLE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES
WHILE VEHICLE IS BEING RAISED OR LOWERED.
WARNING: LOAD MUST BE EVENLY DISTRIBUTED BETWEEN BOTH
LIFTING PLATFORMS. IF LOAD IS UNBALANCED, REPOSITION VEHICLE. DO NOT
LOWER ON TO LOCKS AT DIFFERENT HEIGHTS.

7. MAINTENANCE
WARNING: DISCONNECT THE POWER BEFORE SERVICING THE LIFT.
IMPORTANT: THE MAINTENANCE INTERVALS INDICATED BELOW APPLY
TO AVERAGE WORKSHOP USE. THE LIFT SHOULD BE INSPECTED MORE
FREQUENTLY FOR SEVERE USE APPLICATIONS.
7.1 MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
It is important to keep the lift clean, dry, and well maintained by establishing a periodic
preventive maintenance program to ensure trouble-free operation and long service life.
7.1.1 DAILY
1. Check safety locking mechanism is functioning correctly.
2. Check safety lock audibly and visually while in operation.
3. Check safety latches for free movement and full engagement with rack.
4. Inspect the condition of rubber lifting pads and replace as necessary if worn or torn.
5. Check hydraulic connections, and hoses for leakage.
6. Check chain connections - Bends, cracks - and looseness.
7. Check cable connections - Bends, cracks - and looseness.
8. Check for frayed cables in both raised and lowered positions.
9. Check snap rings at all rollers and sheaves.
10. Check bolts, nuts, and screws and tighten.
11. Check wiring & switches for damage.
12. Keep base plate free of dirt, grease or any other corrosive substances.
13. Check oor for stress cracks near anchor bolts.
14. Check swing arm restraints.
7.1.2 WEEKLY
1. Check anchor bolts torque to 150 ft-lbs for the 3/4’’ anchor bolts.
NOTE: DO NOT USE IMPACT WRENCH.
2. Check oor for stress cracks near anchor bolts.
3. Check hydraulic oil level.
4. Check and tighten bolts and nuts, and screws.
5. Check cylinder pulley assembly for free movement or excessive wear on cylinder yoke or
pulley pin.
6. Check cable pulley for free movement and excessive wear.

15
7.1.3 MONTHLY
1. Check safety mechanism operation.
2. Check condition of shafts, shaft locks and bushings.
3. Check overall cleanliness.
7.1.4 BIMONTHLY
1. Check condition of extensions and lubricate.
2. Check oil leaks from cylinders.
3. Check oil leaks at pipe joints.
7.1.5 YEARLY
Service and safety inspection on the lift must be performed by a competent person. This
inspection must be recorded. If the 12 month service and safety inspection is not performed,
the warranty is null and void.
1. Lubricate chain.
2. Grease rub blocks and column surface contacting rub blocks.
3. Change the hydraulic uid. A good maintenance program makes it mandatory to keep
hydraulic uid clean. Operating temperature, type of service, contamination levels,
ltration, and chemical composition of uid should be considered. If operating in harsh
dusty conditions, shorter interval may be required.
The following items should only be performed by a trained maintenance expert.
• Replace hydraulic hoses.
• Replace chains and rollers.
• Replace cables and sheaves.
• Replace or rebuild air and hydraulic cylinders as required.
• Replace or rebuild pumps / motors as required.
• Check hydraulic and air cylinder rod and rod end (threads) for deformation or damage.
• Check cylinder mount for looseness and damage.
Relocating or changing components may cause problems. Each component in the system
must be compatible; an undersized or restricted line will cause a drop in pressure. All valve,
pump, and hose connections should be sealed and/or capped until just prior to use. Air
hoses can be used to clean ttings and other components. However, the air supply must be
ltered and dry to prevent contamination. Most important - cleanliness - contamination is the
most frequent cause of malfunction or failure of hydraulic equipment.

16
7.2 MAINTENANCE BY OPERATOR
1. All moving parts have been lubricated at the factory and should be re-lubricated before
the rst use and at least once every six months to prevent damage.
7.2.1 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM (FIG. 3)
1. Check the uid level with the lift fully lowered and add uid as required. Use premium
quality ISO-32, AW-32, or AW-46 hydraulic oil, or premium quality ATF DEXRON-III/
MERCON.
2. Visually check all hydraulic hoses and connections for tightness before each use to
ensure proper working condition.
3. Lightly oil the cylinder rods at least once every six months or when they become dry.
IMPORTANT: AFTER CLEANING WORKSHOP FLOOR OR LIFT, TO
MAINTAIN HOIST EFFICIENCY WE ADVISE TO LUBRICATE LIFTING ARM
LOCKING MECHANISM, AND SAFETY LOCKING MECHANISM. CHECK SAFETY
LOCKING MECHANISM IS FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY.
7.1.6 EVERY OTHER YEAR
