INSTALLER / OPERATOR
PLEASE READ AND FULLY
UNDERSTAND.
BY PROCEEDING YOU AGREE TO
THE FOLLOWING:
I have visually inspected the site where the lift is to
be installed and verified the concrete to be in good
condition and free of cracks or other defects. I
understand that installing a lift on cracked or defective
concrete could cause lift failure resulting in personal
injury or death.
I understand that a level floor is required for proper
installation and level lifting.
I understand that I am responsible if my floor is of
questionable slope and that I will be responsible for all
charges related to pouring a new level concrete slab if
required and any charges.
I understand that the lifts are supplied with concrete
fasteners meeting the criteria of the American National
Standard “Automotive Lifts - Safety Requirements for
Construction, Testing, and Validation” ANSI/ALI ALCTV-
2011, and that I will be responsible for all charges
related to any special regional structural and/or seismic
anchoring requirements specified by any other agencies
and/or codes such as the Uniform Building Code (UBC)
and/or International Building Code (IBC).
I will assume full responsibility for the concrete floor
and condition thereof, now or later, where the above
equipment model(s) are to be installed. Failure to follow
danger, warning, and caution instructions may lead to
serious personal injury or death to operator or bystander
or damage to property.
I understand that the lifts are designed to be
installed in indoor locations only. Failure to follow
installation instructions may lead to serious personal
injury or death to operator or bystander or damage to
property or lift.
Failure to follow danger, warning, and caution
instructions may lead to serious personal injury or
death to operator or bystander or damage to property.
Please read entire manual prior to installation.

understand all the dangers, warnings and
cautions in this manual.
INSTALLER / OPERATOR
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Personal protective equipment helps makes installation
and operation safer, however, it does not take the place
of safe operating practices. Always wear durable work
clothing during any installation and/or service activity.
Shop aprons or shop coats may also be worn, however
loose fitting clothing should be avoided. Tight fitting
leather gloves are recommended to protect technician
hands when handling parts. Sturdy leather work shoes
with steel toes and oil resistant soles should be used by
all service personnel to help prevent injury during typical
installation and operation activities.
Eye protection is essential during installation
and operation activities. Safety glasses with
side shields, goggles, or face shields are
acceptable. Back belts provide support during
lifting activities and are also helpful in providing worker
protection. Consideration should also be given to the
use of hearing protection if service activity is performed
in an enclosed area, or if noise levels are high.
THIS SYMBOL POINTS OUT IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WHICH IF NOT FOLLOWED
COULD ENDANGER THE PERSONAL SAFETY AND/OR PROPERTY OR YOURSELF AND OTHERS
AND CAN CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS IN
THIS MANUAL BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE THIS MACHINE.

from improper installation or use of this product.
PLEASE READ ENTIRE MANUAL PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
STEP 1
(Selecting Site)
Before installing your new lift, check the following.
1. LIFT LOCATION: Always use architects plans when
available. Check layout dimension against floor plan
requirements making sure that adequate space if avail-
able.
2. OVERHEAD OBSTRUCTIONS: The area where the
lift will be located should be free of overhead obstruc-
tions such as heaters, building supports, electrical lines
etc.
3. DEFECTIVE FLOOR: Visually inspect the site where
the lift is to be installed and check for cracked or
defective concrete.
4. Lift is designed for INDOOR INSTALLATION ONLY.
Outdoor use permitted only if covered and dry. Always
follow warnings illustrated on equipment labels.
STEP 2
(Floor Requirements)
This lift must be installed on a solid level con-
crete floor with no more than 3° of slope. Failure
to do so could cause personal injury or
death. A level floor is suggested for proper use and
installation and level lifting. If a floor is of questionable
slope, consider a survey of the site and/or the possibility
of pouring a new level concrete slab.
DO NOT install or use this lift on any asphalt surface
or any surface other than concrete.
DO NOT install or use this lift on expansion seams
or on cracked or defective concrete.
DO NOT install or use this lift on a second / elevated
floor without first consulting building architect.
CONCRETE SPECIFICATIONS
CONCRETE REQUIREMENTS
3.5”~4”
Min.Thickness/ 2,500PSI
All models MUST be installed on 2500 PSI concrete only
conforming to the minimum requirements shown above.
New concrete must be adequately cured by at least
28 days minimum.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The lifts are supplied with installation instructions and concrete fasteners meeting the criteria asprescribed by
the American National Standard "Automotive Lifts - Safety Requirements for Construction, Testing, and
Validation" ANSI/ALI ALCTV-2011. Lift buyers are responsible for any special regional structural and/or seismic
anchoring requirements specified by any other agencies and/or codes such as the Uniform Building Code (UBC)
and/or International Building Code (IBC).

When removing the lift from shipping angles pay close attention as the posts
can slide and can cause injury. Prior to removing the bolts make sure the posts
are
held securely by a fork lift or some other heavy lifting device.

CLEARANCES
1. Lift Location: Use architects plan and Engineers
automatic level (transit) when available to locate lift. The
above shows clearances of a typical bay layout. Lift
floor area should be level.
2. Ceiling or overhead clearance must be 80” plus
height of tallest vehicle.
3. Estimating Column Shim requirements:
In the following section, the terms “highest” and
“lowest”
refer to elevation of floor.
A.Mark locations where lift columns will be
positioned in bay.
B.Place target on floor at column positions (NOT
on column base plates) and record readings.
C.Find the highest of the four locations. Find the
difference between the readings at each of the
remaining three columns and the highest reading.
D.The difference is the estimated amount of shim
thickness needed at each column.
Note: Maximum shim thickness is 1/2” per column
using shims and anchors.
If no transit is available, floor slope can be determined by
using a chalk line and level.

POWER UNIT LOCATION
IMPORTANT NOTE
The Power Unit can be located at either “X”
location shown below. It is important to locate
the POWERSIDE Runway (with Cylinder) on
the SAME SIDE as the power unit location.
Utility rails on the side of each Runway MUST
be installed to the inside.
For the remainder of this instruction we will
illustrate the Power Unit mounted at the
DRIVER-SIDE (LEFT) FRONT Column - TOP
