lockwashers to the tie bar. DO NOT TIGHTEN! Baseframes should be level before
tightening, Refer to leveling procedure (following section).
6.7 LEVELLING PROCEDURE
NOTE: This is a very important procedure and time must be taken to do it correctly.
1. The highest point on the floor, noted from Section 4.1 step 6 is the point from which the
base frame will be levelled from. A quick check using a four (4) foot level across the
base frame should again verify that this is the highest point.
2. Starting at the corner closest to the highest point, check along the length of the base
frame edge with the four foot level and shim as required. NOTE THE FIVE CRITICAL
POSITIONS THAT SHIMS MUST BE PLACED ON EACH BASE FRAME OF
EACH MAIN FRAME ASSEMBLY. Refer to Figure 5.
3. Continue shimming across that base frame from side to side, and front to rear.
4. Once one frame is completely leveled, level the inside rails of the base frames to one
another.
5. Now level the remaining outside half of the last base frame by placing the level across
that unit and shimming as required.
6. A quick check across, along and between each base frame will ensure the levelling
procedure was carried out successfully. Re-adjust the tie bars if necessary.
LEVELLING EXAMPLE: FIGURE 5
Assuming that the front right corner is the highest point level in the following order:
- Shim along side “A”
- Shim across from side “A” to side “B” (check along side “B” from front to back)

15 of 31
The Right Side base frame should now be levelled.
- Shim across from side “B” to side “C” (check along side “C” from front to back)
- Shim across from side “C” to side “D” (check along side “D” from front to back)
- Shim along side E & side F (locking Mechanism)
Both base frames should now be levelled from front to back and side to side.
NOTE: Base frame levelling should be performed as a reference before main levelling of the
decks.One last check before anchoring is to make sure that there is 36” between the
baseframes.
Figure 5. Leveling procedure example
6.8 ANCHORING PROCEDURE:
1. Raise the lift to full height and repeat the measurements, and ensure there are no
differences.
2. Using a rotary hammer drill and a 1/2” concrete bit, drill through the floor at each of the
six (6) anchor bolt locations on each of the base frames. Make sure that the 1/2” concrete
drill bit is in good condition. Refer to Figure 6.
3. Assemble the nut and washer onto the 1/2” x 4 1/2” long wedge anchor bolts supplied. A
minimum of six threads must be visible below the surface of the nut.
4. Clean out the drilling dust from the holes and hammer in the anchors until they make
contact with the baseplate. Hand tighten all anchor bolts.
5. Torque all anchor bolts to 55 ft-lbs.
6. Position the console in the final desired location. Using a rotary hammer drill and a 1/4”
concrete bit, drill and anchor the console to the floor using the Nail in Anchors located in

10 RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE:
1. Adjust level of lift daily.
2. The lift should be greased at least once every two months. There are six (6) points on
each lift that will take grease: four (4) on the scissors hinges and one on each of the
two (2) hydraulic cylinder rod eyelet’s.
3. The fluid level in the reservoir should be checked periodically. Be sure that the lift is
fully lowered when checking. The hydraulic fluids should be changed once every five
years. Use only ISO 32 hydraulic fluid.
4. The roller tracks should always be kept clean and free of debris. This area should be
checked before any raising or lowering of the lift.
5. Inspect the operation of the lift daily. Raise and lower fully.
6. Inspect electrical and mechanical operations of all switches, electrical and mechanical.
7. Lifts equipped with full floating rear slip plates and front radius turning plates, require to
be disassembled and cleaned once every 3 months. More frequently with lifts that are in
areas with more exposure to sand and salt.
NOTE: Locking pins should always be installed on front and rear plates before attempting
to drive a vehicle on or off the lift.
8. If uneven lifting occurs as described in section 5.1.3 the crossmember(s) will need to be
re-adjusted.
Quarterly Slip Plate Maintenance
1. Remove top Slip Plate covers by first removing the four (4) shoulder bolts on each cover.
2. Remove polyethylene bearing cages insuring that all the delrin bearings remain in the
cages. Additional delrin bearings may be purchased if required.
3. Clean runway surface and touch up any paint wear with a rust resistant paint. Allow
paint to dry thoroughly.
4. To obtain optimum performance, the position of the slip plate bearing cage should be
rotated every quarter to change the wear pattern. With the first quarter maintenance, flip
the bearing cage over to the opposite side. With the second quarter maintenance, rotate
the bearing cage end-to-end. With the third quarter maintenance, flip bearing cage over
to the opposite side. Fourth quarter maintenance should see the bearing cage rotated
back to the position it started in.
5. Quarterly maintenance will optimize performance and contribute to longer slip plate life.
