WARNING: Prior to completely raising the vehicle, raise the vehicle 6” off the ground
and check the adapter pads for solid contact by performing the “BUMPER TEST”. Walk
around the back of the vehicle and push up and down on the bumper. The vehicle will rock,
but should not at any time lose contact with the pads. If the vehicle is bouncing off the pads
or feels at all unstable, you should lower it back to the ground and reposition the pads to
balance the load. Repeat this process until the vehicle is completely stable.
WARNING: Use this lift only in well ventilated areas. Carbon monoxide exhausted
from running vehicle engines is a colorless, odorless fume that, if inhaled, can cause serious
personal injury or death.
WARNING: People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before using this
product. Operation of electrical equipment in close proximity to a heart pacemaker could
cause interference or failure of the pacemaker.
WARNING: This product contains or produces a chemical known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth defects (or other reproductive harm). (California Health
& Safety Code 25249.5 et seq.)
• Maintain a safe working environment. The work area should be clean, dry, clutter free, and
sufciently lit.
• Vehicle doors should be closed during the raising and lowering cycles.
• Closely watch the vehicle and lift during the raising and lowering cycles.
• Do not operate the lift in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Power equipment can create sparks which may ignite ammables.
• Keep hands, tools, and other extremities from under carriage and moving parts.
• Never operate this lift with someone on it.
• Do not allow anyone on the lift or inside a raised vehicle.
• Keep children and bystanders away from work area. Do not let children operate or play on
lift.
• Wear proper safety attire. Do not wear loose tting clothing while operating lift. Long hair,
jewelry and sleeves should be secured.
• Never leave the lift unattended while under a load.
• Do not operate this lift if under the inuence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. Operator
must be alert at all times when using heavy lift equipment.
• Comply with all applicable accident prevention regulations.
• Only use the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended lifting points.
• After positioning the vehicle, apply the parking brake.
• Use caution when removing or installing heavy vehicle components which may result in
center-of-gravity displacement.
• Use this lift only for the work it is intended. Do not use this product for an application for
which it was not designed. Misuse can lead to personal injury and/or property damage.

• Do not replace or override the safety devices.
WARNING: Risks the personnel could encounter, due to an improper use of the lift, are
described in this section.
CRUSHING RISK
During lowering of runways and vehicles, personnel must not be within the area
covered by the lowering trajectory. The operator must be sure no one is in danger before
operating the lift. Stay clear of the lift when lowering or raising vehicles. Keep hands and feet
away from moving parts and especially points that could pinch. Keep your feet clear of the
lift when raising and lowering vehicles.
RISK OF THE VEHICLE FALLING FROM THE LIFT
Risk of the vehicle falling from the lift is increased: when the vehicle is improperly placed on
the platforms, when the vehicle’s weight or physical dimensions exceed the rated capacity
of the lift, or when there is excessive movement of the vehicle while on the lift. If vehicle
appears to begin falling, exit the area as quickly as possible to avoid injury. Always position
vehicle with the center of gravity midway between the adapters. Adding or removing parts of
a vehicle on the lift will alter the weight displacement on the lift. Therefore, use of auxiliary
safety stands in the front and back of the vehicle is recommended. Never override the
manufactured lift controls. Always use height adapter pads when possible to ensure proper
contact. Only authorized personnel should be allowed in the lift area and the lift should only
be operated by authorized and trained personnel. Adding or removing parts of a vehicle on
the lift will alter the weight displacement on the lift.
BUMPING RISK
When the lift is stopped at relatively low working height, the risk of bumping against
projecting parts increases. Always be aware of your surroundings and avoid bumping your
head or body on the lift or the vehicle.

The following is a 2-Column hydraulic, leaf chain driven lift.
The model numbers covered in this manual are designated below:
HD2P-9KCL: 2-Column Overhead Beam Lift type, 9,000 lb Capacity, Asymmetric
Swing Arm set up.
This lift is a 9,000 lb capacity, 2-Post Lift. The safety latch system is very similar to an
extension ladder. The safety latch is in contact with the rack as the lift ascends and drops
into place as the lift rises. Safety latch engages in rack in 3” increments at about 16” from the
ground. The latch must be manually disengaged for the lift to descend. The latch is released
by raising the latch rack using the hydraulic drive system and pulling the release handle. If
the user lets go of the manual release handle, the safety latch will re-engage on the next lock
latch it encounters. Heavy bearings and heavy-duty leaf chains are used throughout the lift.
The work is done with the heavy-duty chain connected to a 3” cylinder, driven by a hydraulic
pump capable of providing 3,000 psi.
Please read the Safety Procedures and operation instructions in this manual before
operating the lift. Proper installation is very important. To minimize the chance of making an
error in installation, please read this manual thoroughly before beginning installation. Check
with building owner and/or architect’s building plans when applicable. The lift should be
located on a level oor with 4” 3000 psi concrete sufciently cured, for at least 30 days.
This is a vehicle lift installation / operation manual and no attempt is made or implied herein
to instruct the user in lifting methods particular to an individual application. Rather, the
contents of this manual are intended as a basis for operation and maintenance of the unit
as it stands alone or as it is intended and anticipated to be used in conjunction with other
equipment.
Proper application of the equipment described herein is limited to the parameters detailed
in the specications and the uses set forth in the descriptive passages. Any other proposed
application of this equipment should be documented and submitted in writing to the factory

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 4” THICK WITH THE COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH OF THE CONCRETE NO LESS
THAN 3,000 PSI.
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.
5.1 SELECTING THE SITE AREA
5.2 FLOOR REQUIREMENTS
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.
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 4”. The concrete must have a minimum strength of 3,000 PSI, and
should be cured at least 30 days prior to use. Do not use the lift on concrete expansion
seams or on cracked, defective concrete.
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.

7
5.3 IMPORTANT CONCRETE AND ANCHORING INFORMATION
1. Concrete shall have compression strength of at least 3,000 PSI and a minimum thickness
of 4”. 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 of the concrete or any cracks is no less than
8”.
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 85 ft-lbs. Shim thickness MUST NOT exceed
1/2”.
5. If anchors do not tighten to 85 ft-lbs installation torque, replace concrete under each
column base with a 4’ x 4’ x 6” thick 3,000 PSI minimum concrete pad pinned to the
existing concrete and ush with the top of existing oor. Let concrete cure at least 30
days before installing lifts and anchors.

8
5.4 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 perpendicular to the concrete while drilling.
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 hole for anchor bolt completely through the concrete. If an error is made during
the installation of these anchors, this will allow for the anchor bolt to be driven down into
the ground, so that a new anchor may be installed in place (g.1).
5� Be sure to clean all dust from hole� (g. 2).
6. Place a at washer and hex nut over threaded end of anchor, leaving approximately 1/4
inch of thread exposed above the nut (g.3). Carefully tap anchor into the concrete until
nut and at washer are against base plate. Be sure to only tap the top of the anchor and
not the nut. This could cause damage to the threads of the anchor.
7. Tighten the nut (g. 4) to 85 ft-lbs of torque (typically this should only be two to three full
turns).
DO NOT USE AN IMPACT WRENCH TO TIGHTEN ANCHORS!

6-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1) After unloading the lift, place it near the intended installation location.
2) Remove the shipping bands and packing materials
from the unit.
3) Remove the packing brackets and bolts holding the
two columns together. Check to ensure all parts
arrived according to the parts list.
4) Once the lift location is decided, chalk the center line
in the bay and ensure that the proper lift placement
is observed from walls and obstacles. Also check the
ceiling height for clearance in this location. NOTE: the power unit column can be placed
on either side.
5) Assemble the overhead crossbar for model HD2P-9KCL. This is also a good time to
mount the brackets for the safety shut-off bar, the bar itself, and the shut-off switch. (Be
sure to leave bolts hand-tight.)
6) Position the columns facing each other 132.25” from the outside of the base plates,
then raise each carriage to the rst safety lock. NOTE: The power unit column is referred
to as the main side column and the non power unit column is referred to as the offside
column.
7) Using a 3/4” concrete drill bit, drill the anchor holes in the main side column, installing
anchors as you go (see Fig. 11, page 31). Use a block of wood or rubber mallet to drive
anchor bolts in.
8) Using a level , check column for side-to-side plumb and front-to-back plumb. Using
3/4” washers or shim stock, place shims as close as possible to the hole locations as
needed. Torque 3/4” anchor bolts to 85 ft-lbs. NOTE: DO NOT USE IMPACT WRENCH.
9) Using a tape measure, measure diagonally from the face of one column to the opposite
face of the other to ensure that the columns are square (see below). After conrming
the dimensions, install the overhead crossbar to the top of the columns (hand-tight).
BEFORE drilling the anchors for the offside column, ensure the column is square and
double check measurements. Drill the anchor holes in the offside column, installing
anchors as you go. Check front to back and side to side plumb before torquing anchors
to 85 ft-lbs. Use shims as needed.
*As a reference - the distance between columns should be 110�25” at the top and at
the bottom of the lift�*
PLEASE READ THIS INSTRUCTION BEFORE STARTING TO OPERATE THE LIFT.

10) After both columns are properly torqued, tighten the (8) crossbar bolts.
11) Install safety lock release pulley brackets to the top of each column.
12) Install the safety cable, by routing through the pulleys
mounted on both columns.
13) Installing the equalizing cables: Route cables through
carriages and around pulleys as shown in diagram.
Secure cables to the carriage using on the two supplied
cable nuts. (The second nut will be used as a jam nut
after nal adjustments are made to cable.) Take up slack
in both cables by hand tightening cable nuts.
14) Properly route the hydraulic hoses from each column
through the guides on the overhead crossbar. Connect
both hoses using the supplied male union tting.
15) Install the power unit to the main side column using the supplied bolts, washer, and
nuts. Install the short hose to make the connection between the hydraulic hose tting on
the cylinder and the hydraulic tting on the power unit.
NOTE: Hydraulic tting may need to be moved
to the port on the opposite side of the valve
body on certain lift models. It is required that a
licensed electrician make the electrical hookup
to the power unit.
The power unit must be wired to a 220V single
phase, dedicated 30A circuit. Route safety
shut-off switch wiring down the channel on
the inside of the main side column, along side
the hydraulic hose. Insert the end of the wire
through the hole in the column and into the
junction box of the power unit where the nal
connection will be made.

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 HD2P-9KCL.
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.

mechanism is operating. If this sound is not heard, immediately cease using the lift and
call an authorized service agent.
10. 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 the latch
release to release (Fig. 2) 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.

8-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.
It is important to keep the lift clean, dry, lubricated and well maintained by establishing a periodic
preventive maintenance program to ensure trouble-free operation and long service life.
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 for frayed cables in both raised and lowered positions.
8. Check snap rings at all rollers and sheaves.
9. Check bolts, nuts, and screws and tighten.
10. Check wiring & switches for damage.
11. Keep base plate free of dirt, grease or any other corrosive substances.
12. Check oor for stress cracks near anchor bolts.
13. Check swing arm restraints.
1. Check anchor bolts torque to 85 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.
8.1 MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
8.1.1 DAILY
8.1.2 WEEKLY

8.1.3 MONTHLY
8.1.4 BI-MONTHLY
8.1.5 YEARLY
1. Check safety mechanism operation.
2. Check condition of shafts, shaft locks and bushings.
3. Check overall cleanliness.
1. Check condition of extensions and lubricate.
2. Check for oil leaks from cylinders.
3. Check for oil leaks at pipe joints.
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 the inside corners of the columns.
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 or
dusty conditions, a 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.

8.2 MAINTENANCE BY OPERATOR
8.2.1 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
8.2.2 GREASING POINTS
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.
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.
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.
FIG. 2
SLIDE TRACKS:
• The carriage assembly slide tracks should be greased every six months (or more
frequently in case of noise generation).
• Slightly grease the slide tracks over their whole length using a brush.
ARM PINS:
• Grease the arm pins to prevent excessive wear
