STEP 5
(Flow Divider / Hydraulic Hose Installation)
1. Secure the Hydraulic Flow Divider to a permanent
wall or fixture (usually below grade) in an area that
will allow the Power Hoses (the two hoses that are
installed at the lift Cylinders) to be equal length.
(See Fig 5.1)
It may be necessary to add hose extensions to
accommodate installation. If so, keep the power hoses
as close to equal length as possible to provide equal
pressure and lifting.

16
2. Install the 90 Degree Hydraulic Fitting in the pressure
port of the Power Unit. The pressure port is covered
with a plastic plug. Use teflon tape on pipe fittings
ONLY.
3. After the fitting is installed correctly, connect the 140”
Hydraulic Hose making sure to not over-tighten.
(For below grade hose installations a 1-1/4” hole should
be drilled through the floor at the base of the Power
Unit so the hose can be routed below grade.)
4. Connect the other end of the Power Unit Hose to the
fitting marked “IN” on the Flow Divider. (See Fig 5.1)
5. Connect the two remaining equal length Hoses to
the Flow Divider. (See Fig 5.1)
3/8” I.D. hydraulic tubing / hose may be used rather
than the hose provided as long as it is rated for 3,000
PSI operating pressure with a 12,000 PSI burst.
STEP 6 (Power Unit Installation)

STEP 7
(Routing Air Lines)
Connect the Air Safety Cylinders to the Air Safety Valve using the Tee Fitting and the Airline. Route the air line as
shown below making sure to position the push button air valve with the INLET facing towards the AIR SOURCE and
the OUTLET facing towards the lift. A filter/regulator/lubricator must be installed on air supply at lift. Failure to do so will
void the warranty. Cut the provided 1/4” air line tubing with a sharp blade to lengths as required. Tubing must be cut
square with no burrs.
Note: To assemble air line tubing into fitting, use firm, manual pressure to push tubing into the fitting until it bottoms out.
To remove air line tubing from the fitting, hold push sleeve in (against fitting) and, at the same time, pull out on tubing.
Pay careful attention to keep air line clear of any pinch points. Improper assembly may result in safety lock failure.
Note: An air supply (minimum: 30 psi / 3 CFM) is required for the safety-lock mechanisms to disengage. It is solely the
responsibility of the end-user to provide, install and maintain the air supply.
AIR PRESSURE SHOULD BE REGULATED TO 125 PSI MAX. (See Fig. 7.1)

1. Lift must be fully lowered before changing or adding
fluid.
2. Raise and lower lift six times. The Cylinders are
self-bleeding. After bleeding system, fluid level in
power unit reservoir may be down. Add more fluid if
necessary to raise lift to full height. It is only necessary
to add fluid to Raise lift to full height.
3. It may be necessary to disconnect Hoses at the
Cylinders and run the Power Unit to completely bleed
the system of air. Consult a trained professional if you
are not familiar with this type of bleeding procedure.
4. To pressure test, run lift to full rise and run motor for
approximately 3-seconds after lift stops. This will place
pressure on the hydraulic system. Stop and check all
fittings and hose connections. Tighten or reseal if
required.
5. Raise lift only HALF WAY then lower completely at
least one dozen times. NOTE: during the initial testing,
the lift will descend slowly. This is normal,. It helps to
add a payload, no greater than 500 pounds to help
speed up the decent during this process.
6. Check all hoses for leaks. Tighten if necessary.

STEP 10 (Lift Start Up / Final Adjustments)
1. Make sure the Power Unit Reservoir is full with 6.5
quarts of 10-WT hydraulic oil or Dexron-III automatic
transmission fluid.
2. 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.
3. RAISE LIFT UNTIL THE CYLINDER BOTTOMS OUT
AND THE LIFT STOPS.
4. Check all MAIN SAFETY LOCKS to make sure they
move freely and fall back to the lock position when
released. Lubricate all SAFETY PIVOT points with
WD-40 or equal.
KEEP HANDS AND FEET CLEAR. Remove hands
and feet from any moving parts. Keep feet clear of lift
when lowering. Avoid pinch points.
5. Run the lift up and down a few times to insure that
the locks are engaging uniformly and that the
safety release mechanisms are functioning.
