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.

STEP 12
(Power Unit Hook Up)
1. Have a certified electrician run the power supply to
motor. Refer to the data plate found on the motor for
proper power supply and wire size.
RISK OF EXPLOSION!
This equipment has internal arcing or parts that may
spark and should not be exposed to flammable vapors.
Motor should not be located in a recessed area or
below floor level. NEVER expose motor to rain or other
damp environments. DAMAGE TO MOTOR CAUSED BY
WATER IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
CAUTION Never operate the motor on line voltage
less than 208V. Motor damage may occur which is not
covered under warranty. Have a certified electrician run
appropriate power supply to motor. Size wire for 25amp
circuit. See Motor Operating Data Table.
IMPORTANT: Use separate circuit for each power unit.

STEP 13
(Lift Start Up / Final Adjustments)
1. Make sure the Power Unit reservoir is full with 12
quarts of 10-WT hydraulic oil or Dexron-III automatic
transmission fluid.
2. Spray the inside of the Columns where the Slide
Blocks glide with a light lubricant or WD-40.
3. Test the Power Unit by pressing the push-button
switch. If the motor sounds like it is operating properly,
raise the lift and check all Hose connections for leaks. If
the motor gets hot or sounds peculiar, stop and check
all electrical connections.
4. Before proceeding, double-check to make sure all
cables are properly positioned within the grooves of ALL
Sheaves. Make sure all Cable Sheave retaining Pins
and/or Clips are secure.
5. Check to make sure that all Slack Safety Locks are
cleared and free. (See Fig. 13.1)
6. Continue pressing the raise button until the Cables
get taught and the lift starts to move.
7. Raise lift until the lift stops then lower until the safe-
ties begin to engage the top locking position. Adjust each
ladder so that each topmost window rests on the safety
lock. Then adjust each Cable Nut so that each safety
lock is at least ONE INCH above the Top Lock Position.
The Cable Nuts MUST be tightened until there is at least
one inch of threads protruding through the nut.
All cable nuts MUST be tightened on each end until there
is at least one inch of threads protruding through the nut.
Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death.

NOTE:
There will be initial stretching of the cables in the
beginning and/or with increased loads. Adjust the
Cables as outlined above a week after first use, then
every three to six months thereafter depending on
usage and/or to compensate for stretch.
8. Press the safety lock release handle and HOLD, and
check that all Safety Locks are functioning
properly.Lower the lift by pressing the power unit
lowering valve simultaneously.
KEEP HANDS AND FEET CLEAR. Remove hands and
feet from any moving parts. Keep feet clear of lift when
lowering. Avoid pinch points
9. Check all MAIN SAFETY LOCKS to make sure
they move freely and spring back to the lock position
when released. Lubricate all SAFETY PIVOT points
with WD-40 or equal.
10. Run the lift up and down a few times to
ensure that the Locks are engaging uniformly and
that the safety release mechanisms are
functioning. Re-adjust if necessary
STEP 14
(Anchoring The Columns)
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The lifts are supplied with installation instructions
and concrete fasteners meeting the criteria as
prescribed 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).
1. Before proceeding, double check the
measurements and make certain that the bases of
each Column are square and aligned with the chalk
line. Raise the lift up and down and make sure it
operates properly at the locations prescribed by the
markings on the floor.(See Fig. 14.1)
Fig. 14.1
2. Using the Base plate on each Column as a guide,
drill each anchor hole approximately 4-1/2” deep using
a rotary hammer drill and 3/4” concrete bit.
(See Fig. 14.2)
Fig. 14.2
3. After drilling, remove dust thoroughly from each
hole using compressed air and/or bristle brush. Make
certain that the Columns remain aligned with the chalk
line.
ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES
4. Assemble the Washers and Nuts on the anchors
then tap each hole with a hammer until the washer rests
against base plate. Be sure that if shimming is required,
enough threads are left exposed. (See Fig. 14.3)
5. If shimming is required, insert the shims as necessary
the base plate so that when the anchor bolts are tight-
ened, the columns will be plumb. (See Fig. 14.4)
