DEFINITION
This lift is a 9000 lb. capacity, 2-Post Lift with a latch system. The
safety latch is in contact with the latch rack as the lift ascends and
drops into place. The safety latch engages in rack at 3” increments
beginning about 16”from the ground. The latch must be manually
disengaged for the lift to descend. The latch is released by raising the
latch up off the latch rack and pulling the release cable. Once the raise
button is pressed, the latch will automatically re-engage after
approximately 3” of travel. Heavy bearings and heavy-duty leaf chains
are used throughout the lift. The work is done with the heavy-duty
chain connected to a 2 1/2” cylinder, driven by a hydraulic pump
capable of providing 3,000psi.
Please read the Safety Procedures and Operation Instructions in this
manual before operating and installing the lift. Proper installation is
very important. To minimize the chance of making an error in
installation, please read this manual through carefully before
beginning installation. Check with building owner and/or an engineer
when applicable. The lift should be located on a relatively level floor 4”
thick and 3,000psi concrete sufficiently cured.
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 specifications and the uses set forth in the
descriptive passages.

PREPARATION
The installation of this lift is relatively simple and can be accomplished by 2 people in a few
hours. The following tools and equipment are needed:
•12 quarts of Non-Detergent Hydraulic Oil SAE-10 AW 32 or other good grade
•Chalk line and 12’ Tape measure
•Rotary Hammer Drill with 3/4” Drill Bit. Core Drill ReBar Cutter recommended

IMPORTANT CONCRETE AND ANCHORING INFORMATION
1. Concrete shall have compression strength of at least 3,000psi and a minimum thickness
of 4” in order to achieve a minimum anchor depth of 31/2”. If the top of the anchor exceeds
2” above the floor grade, you DO NOT have enough depth.
2. Use holes in column base plate as a guide before drilling the 3/4”diameter holes in the
concrete floor. Make sure the hole distance from the edge is not less than 6”. Hole depth
should be a minimum of 4”, it is recommended to drive through the 4” concrete, unless you
have a high water table.
3. CAUTION: DO NOT install on asphalt or other similar unstable surface. Columns are
supported only by anchoring into the floor.
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, then full-size base shim plates should be used
(Reference Shim Kit) torque anchors to 130 ft-lbs. Shim thickness MUST NOT exceed 3/8”
when using the 5 1/2” long anchor provided with the lift. Adjust the column extensions
plumb.
5. If anchors do not tighten to 130 ft-lbs installation torque, then replace concrete under
each column base with a 4’X4’X6” thick 3,000psi minimum concrete pad keyed under and
flush with the top of existing floor. Let concrete cure before installing lifts and anchors.

ANCHORING TIP SHEET
Anchors must be at least 6”from the edge of the slab or any seam.
1. Use a concrete hammer and a drill, a solid drill bit with a carbide tip, the same
diameter as the anchor, 5/8”. Do not use excessively worn bits or bits that have
been incorrectly sharpened.
2. Keep the drill perpendicular.
3. Let the drill do the work. Do not apply excessive pressure. Lift the drill up and down
occasionally to remove residue and reduce binding.
4. Drill the hole to depth equal to length of anchor.
5. For better holding power, blow dust from the hole.
6. Place a flat washer and hex nut over threaded end of anchor, leaving the nut flush
with the top of the bolt. Carefully tap anchor into hole. Do not damage threads. Tap
anchor into the concrete until nut and flat washer are against base plate. Do not use
an impact wrench to tighten. Tighten the nut with two or three turns on average after
the concrete has cured (28-day cure). If the concrete is very hard, only one or two
turns may be required.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION FOR
FLOOR PLATE STYLE AND OVERHEAD BEAM STYLE
2-COLUMN HYDRAULIC LIFTS
PLEASE READ THIS INSTRUCTION BEFORE STARTING TO INSTALL THE LIFT
STEP 1:
After unloading the lift, place it near the installation location.
STEP 2:
Remove the shipping bands and packing materials from the unit.
STEP 3:
Remove the packing brackets and bolts holding the two columns together. Do not discard
bolts, they are used in the assembly of the lift.
STEP 4:
Once the power unit column location is decided, insure 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 located on either side. It is helpful to try to
locate it on the lift to save steps during operation.
STEP 5: Figure 5 Page 19
Assemble the uprights to the columns on model Overhead Beam Style Lift (the Floor Plate
Style Lift does not have uprights.). Raise the columns to a vertical position.
STEP 6:
Position the columns facing each other 134” outside base plates.
STEP 7: Figure 4 Page 18
Using a 3/4” concrete drill, 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. Drill to a minimum
depth of 4” to insure maximum holding power. Drilling through concrete (recommended) will
allow the anchor to be driven thru the bottom if the threads are damaged.
STEP 8:
Check to make sure side-to-side and front-to-back are level. Use 3/4washers or shim
stock, placing shims as close as possible to the hole locations. This will prevent bending the
column bottom plates. Tighten the 3/4” anchor bolts to 130 ft-lbs. of torque.
STEP 9: Figure 5 Page 19
Using a tape measure, measure from back corner of the base on main side column to the
opposites back corner of the offside column to insure legs are square. Using the
8
Floor Plate/Overhead Style Lifts

dimensions, install overhead beam to top of columns BEFORE drilling anchors for
offside column to insure column level.
STEP 10:
After overhead beam is assembled drill and anchor offside column as described in steps 7
and 8.
STEP 11:Figure 6 Page 20
Install the equalizing cables: Refer to figure for general cable arrangement for both Floor
Plate Style and Overhead Beam Style Lifts. Set carriages on the first safety latch
engagement. Be sure each carriage is at the same height by measuring from the top of the
base to the bottom of the carriage. Double check the latches before working under the
carriages. This dimension should be with in 1/4” Run first cable as in Figure 6. Tighten nut
on one cable stud so that the end of stud passes the nylon on the nut. Pull the other end of
cable and run nut on it; tighten both nuts. Repeat above for second cable.
STEP 12: Figure 8-9 Pages 22-23
Install the cylinders: put one cylinder into each carriage by sliding it all the way down
through the top of the cylinder mount at column base. Make sure the “Tip” on the bottom of
the cylinder will fit into the center hole on top of the cylinder mount in base. Pull the
pre-attached leaf chain in both sides up and over the chain sheave on top of the cylinders.
Refer to Figure 8 for Floor Plate Style Lift and Figure 9 for Overhead Beam Style Lift.
STEP 13: Figure 8-9 Pages 22-23
Connecting the hydraulic hoses: as shown on Figure 8 for Floor Plate Style Lift and Figure
9 for Overhead Beam Style Lift.
STEP 14:Figure 9 Page 23
Mount the power unit on lift as Figure 9.
STEP 15:
Installing cut off cable: Take the 2- eye bolts included in the parts box and install them in the
holes located in the front of each upright about 6” from the top. Install a nut, and lock washer
on either side, to make them secure.
Starting on the left side (offside), attach the 1/16” cable to the eye bolt located near the top
of the left side upright using the small aluminum ferrules. Loop the cable through the ferrule,
then through the eye of the bolt and back through the ferrule. Crimp the ferrule to hold the
cable. Pass the cable through the eye bolt on the right side (main side) and down to the
power unit. Loop the cable through the eye on the cutoff switch post, located on top of the
upswitch junction box, secure with ferrule. Make it as tight as you can without tripping the
cutoff switch.

STEP 16: Figure 4 Page 18
For Floor Plate Style Lift, mount the floor plate as Figure 4.
STEP 17:
Install the swing arms on the carriages using the included 1 1/2” diameter pins. Check to
make sure the rack on the lock should fully engage with the gear on the arm.
STEP 18:
Adjust the carriage cables tension: adjust each cable to approximately 1/2” side-to side play.
Check the latch releases to insure the carriage is still sitting on the appropriate latch.
STEP 19:
Remove the vent plug from the power unit and fill the reservoir. Use a Ten Weight (SAE-10)
non-foaming, non-detergent hydraulic fluid. The unit holds approximately twelve quarts.
STEP 20:
Make the Electrical hookup to the 220V Single Phase Power Unit. It is recommended that a
220 Volt, 20amp twist lock plug be installed in the power line just ahead of the power unit‘s
size wire for a 20amp circuit.
Warning-the wiring must comply with local code. Have a certified electrician make the
electrical hook-up to the power unit. Protect each circuit with time delay fuse or circuit
breaker 208V-230V single Phrase 60Hz 30amp. Motor cannot run on 50Hz without a
physical change to motor.
ATTENTION: IF 380V POWER UNIT APPLIES, PLEASE ADJUST AND USE RELATIVE
TWIST LOCKAND TIME DELAY FUSE OR CIRCUIT BREAKER ACCORDINGLY!
STEP 21:
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. To lower the lift, both
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 first.
RAISE THE LIFT
Press button on power unit. The latch mechanism will ‘trip over’ when the lift raises and
drops into each latch stop. But, to lock the lift you must press the Lower level to relieve the
hydraulic pressure and let the latch set tight in a lock position.
Always lock the lift before going under the vehicle. Never allow anyone to go under the lift
when raising or lowering. Read the safety procedures in the manual.
Note: It is normal for an empty lift to lower slowly-it may be necessary to add weight.
