INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT NOTICE
These instructions must be followed to insure proper installation and operation of your lift.
Failure to comply with these instructions can result in serious bodily harm and void product
warranty. Manufacturer will assume no liability for loss or damage of any kind, expressed or
implied resulting from improper installation or use of this product.
PLEASE READ ENTIRE INSTRUCTION BEFORE STARTING TO ASSEMBLE THE LIFT
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 is available (See FIG. 2). The specified safety
distances must be from front wall 63 inch (1600mm) , from side wall 39 1/2 inch (1000
mm) at least. The room ceiling must be at least 157 1/2 inch (4000mm) in height.
Fig. 2

2. FLOOR REQUIREMENTS: The lift should be installed on a 3000 PSI concrete with little gradients.
hickness of concrete ≥6 inch (150 mm). The leveling of whole area ≤3/8 inch (10 mm).
r, every column shall be located on a concrete block with size at least 24*24 inch (600*600 mm),
hickness ≥8 inch (200mm)
STEP 2: (Unloading and Unpacking)
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. (Do not discard
bolts, they may be used in the assembly of the lift )
STEP 3: (Site Layout)
1. Once a location is determined, use a carpenters chalk line to layout a grid for the platform
locations. (See Fig.1). Keep all dimensions square and within 1/8”otherwise a malfunction of
the lift will occur.
5
2. Before continuing with the installation it is helpful to get a visual look of the shop, and other
clearances. Also, this is a good time to drive a vehicle into the position and check for
adequate clearance.

3. Note: All 4 legs should be level and square. Use the layout dimensions for floor layout
purposes only
NOTE
All models MUST be installed on 3000PSI concrete only confirming to the minimum
requirements. New concrete must be adequately cured by at least 28 days minimum.
STEP 4: (Locate the parts)
1. Use fork lift to move the platforms in the desired position. Use a wooden block or safety stand under
the platforms to set them about 12” (300mm) off the ground and parallel to each other.
2. Put the cross beams and columns near their positions.
STEP 5: (rear crossbeam )
1. Take off the cable sheave by unlocking the screws and pins on both ends of the cross beam
2. Attach the rear crossbeam to the left ( main) platform with cylinder and cables.
3. Line the cables through the hole on the crossbeam out from the end. Be sure the cables are
in the proper sheave grooves. (Fig .3 & parts drawing-2)

Fig. 3
4. Take off the two cable sheaves also on the ends of sub platform. Line the longest cable
through the sub platform.
5. Connect the cross beam with the platforms by bolts.
6. Put back all the cable sheaves on cross beam and sub platform.
7. Move the rear columns to the cross beam. Unlock the nuts on the top of the column to pull up
the safety rack above the cross beam then insert it through the cross beam end. Make sure
the safety lock can rest on the rack. ( Fig 4)

Fig4 Fig.5 Fig.6 Fig.7
STEP 6: (front yoke )
1. Lay down the front columns. Take out the safety rack.
2. Take off the cable sheaves of the front yokes.
3. Slide the front yoke into its column ( open hole towards the platform)
4. Insert the safety rack through the yoke same as the rear cross beam.
5. Set up the front columns. Move them to the front end of the platforms.
6. Raise up the front yoke to touch the platform then rest on the safety rack. ( At least one man
to take care of the column. It is unstable at this step)
7. Line the cable through the yoke and column.
8. Bolt the yoke with the platform.
9. Fix the bolt on the lower end of the safety rack.
10. Do the same with another front yoke.
STEP 7: (anchor the front columns )
1. Check carefully with the location of the columns and its plumb. Using a tape measure to
measure the distance between the opposite corners of the base plate on the columns. Equal
values will insure the lifting arms will be in square.
2. Using the base plate on the front column as a guide, drill an anchor hole on the back of the
column in the concrete approximately 51/2” deep using a rotary hammer drill and 3/4” concrete
drill-bit. To assure full holding power, do not ream the hole or allow the drill to wobble.
3. Anchor the front column for safety.
STEP 8: (hydraulic system )
1. Mount on the motor pump on the column with bracket. (Fig. 8)
2. Also mount the air-release valve bracket with the pump ( Fig. 9)
3. Connect the hose from pump to cylinder with the connector supplied.
4. Fill the tank with hydraulic oil ( about 10 liters)
5. Have a certified electrician to run the 220V/60Hz single phase power supply to the motor. Be
sure to size the wire for a 25 amp circuit.
6. Mount on the air-release valve. Connect the compressed air supply through pipe supplied.

Fig.8 Fig.9
STEP 9: (check again )
1. Raise the platform a little by pushing the up button on the power unit.
2. Check the location of all the columns again. Make sure everything is OK.
3. Again using the base plate of the column as guide, drill all the holes for anchoring.
4. Anchor all the columns using bolts supplied. Make plumb by placing shims as close as
possible to the anchor bolts. This will prevent bending the column base plates.
5. Check that all the cables are in sheave grooves.
6. Check the leveling of the platforms. Adjust the length of the cables by the nuts on cables end
to level the platforms.
7. Lower the platforms by simultaneously pressing the air-release valve and the release lever
on the power unit.
8. If the platforms not level, adjust the height of the safety rack by the nut on the top of the
column. Do not forget to tighten the bolt on the lower end of the rack.
9. Put on all the accessories such as front stop, ramp, cover etc.
STEP 10: (start up)
1. Do not place any vehicle on the lift at this time!
2. Cycle the lift up and down several times to insure lock latches click together and all air is
removed from the system.
3. To lower the lift, the air- releases valve must be manually pressed while the lowering handle
of the pump is pressed. Latches will automatically reset once the lift ascends approximately
17”＂from base.

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 fittings and other components. However, the air supply must be filtered and dry to prevent
contamination. most important- cleanliness- contamination is the most frequent cause of
malfunction or hydraulic equipment.
