INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED Rotary Hammer Drill Or Similar (If Anchoring) 3/4" Masonry Bit (If Anchoring) Hammer 4 Foot Level Open End Wrench Set: Metric Socket And Ratchet Set: Metric Hex Key / Metric Allen Wrench Set Large Crescent Wrench Large Pipe Wrench Crow Bar Chalk Line Medium Flat Screwdriver Tape Measure : 25 Foot Minimum Needle Nose Pliers IMPORTANT NOTICE! These instructions must be followed to ensure proper installation and operation of your lift.
CONCRETE SPECIFICATIONS 9,000-lb 2-Post Lift Models Require 6" Min. Thickness / 3,000 PSI - Steel Reinforced. IMPORTANT NOTE: All models MUST be installed on 3000 psi concrete only conforming to the minimum requirements shown above. New concrete must be adequately cured by at least 28 days minimum.
STEP 4 (Install Powerside Column) 1. Before proceeding, double check measurements and make certain that the bases of each column are square and aligned with the chalk line. 2. Using the base plate on the column as a guide, drill each anchor hole in the concrete approximately 7" deep using a rotary hammer drill and 3/4" concrete drill. To assure full holding power, do not ream the hole or allow drill to wobble. (See figure 1 ) 3.
STEP 5 (Install Offside Column) 1. Position the OFFSIDE column at the designated chalk locations and secure to the floor following the same procedures as outlined in STEP 4. STEP 6 (Mounting the Top Pulley Assembly) 1. Position the top pulley plate on top of the columns. Bolt to the columns using the M10 x 40mm Hex Bolts, Nuts and Washers. ( See figure 6 ) Fig: 6 Fig: 7 STEP 7 (Mounting the Power Unit) 1.
3. With the carriages in equal position from the floor, start by feeding the cable thru the right side hole (when looking into the post on the open side) in the top of the carriage down thru the bottom of the carriage around the bottom pulley (right side) , across the floor around the bottom pulley on the opposite Post (left side) , thru the back of the carriage to the top Pulley and connect to the left side hole in the top of the carriage. Repeat steps on cable # 2.
STEP 9 (Installing Hydraulic Lines) 1. Connect the straight side of the long hose to the power unit pressure port with a red plastic plug using the 90 degree o-ring power unit fitting. Route the opposite side of the hose (90-degree side) through the cylinder access hole in the back of the post, under the cylinder cradle and out to the middle of the cover plate. (See figure 9) 2.
STEP 7 (Wiring the Power Unit) 1. The standard power unit for your lift is 220 volt, 60HZ, single phase. ALL WIRING MUST BE PERFORMED BY A CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN ONLY. 2. SEE WIRING INSTRUCTIONS AFFIXED TO MOTOR FOR PROPER WIRING INSTRUCTIONS.
STEP 14 (Installing the Lift Arms) 1. Place the lift arm assembly in the lift heads. (See figure 10) 2. Install the lift head pins into the lift head and through the holes in the arm assembly. (See figure 11) 3. Install the snap ring into the groove on the lift head pin in the middle of the lift head tube. (See figure 11) 4. Loosen the arm lock assembly bolts and adjust so that the teeth on the gear mesh smoothly with the teeth on the arm gears. (See figure 12) 5. Tighten the arm lock assembly bolts. 6.
Fig: 11 Fig: 12 DANGER EACH ARM RESTRAINT ASSEMBLY MUST BE INSPECTED AND ADJUSTED AS NEEDED BEFORE EACH AND EVERY TIME THE LIFT IS OPERATED. DO NOT OPERATE THE LIFT IF ANY OF THE FOUR ARM RESTRAINT SYSTEMS ARE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. REPLACE ANY BROKEN COMPONENTS OR COMPONENTS WITH BROKEN TEETH ONLY WITH AUTHORIZED OR APPROVED REPLACEMENT PARTS. STEP 15 (Leveling Instructions) 1. Before operating your lift, check to make sure that both “A” and “B” measurements are equal. (See figure 13) 2.
STEP 16 (Start Up) DANGER 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. CAUTION During the START UP procedure, observe all operating components and check for proper installation and adjustment.
POST INSTALLATION CHECK OFF Columns are properly shimmed and stable Oil level Anchor bolts are tightened Lubcation of critical components Pivot / sheave pins are properly attached Check for overhead obstructions Electric power supply confirmed Lift arms are level Cables are adjusted properly All screws, bolts, and pins are secured Safety locks are functioning properly Surrounng area is clean Check for hydraulic leaks Operation, maintenance and safety manuals on site.
• DO NOT stand in front of the vehicle while it is being positioned in lift bay. • DO NOT hit or run over lift arms or adapters. This could damage lift or vehicle. Before driving vehicle into lift bay, position arms and adapters to provide unobstructed entrance to lift. • ALWAYS load vehicle on lift carefully. Position the lift adapters to contact at the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended lift points. Raise lift until adapters contact vehicle. Check adapters for secure contact with vehicle.
TO RAISE THE LIFT WARNING To avoid personal injury and / or property damage, permit only trained personnel to operate lift. After reviewing these instructions, get familiar with lift controls by running the lift through a few cycles before loading vehicle on lift. Always lift the vehicle using all four adapters. NEVER raise just one end, one corner, or one side of vehicle. 1.
WARNING Make sure vehicle is neither front nor rear heavy. Center of balance should be midway between adapters as shown below. 6. Push the RAISE button or rotate the control switch on the power unit. Important Note: Allow (2) seconds between motor starts. Failure to comply may cause motor burnout. 7. Stop before making contact with vehicle. Check arm restraint pins for engagement. If required, slightly move arm to allow restraint gear and pawl to mesh.
10. Continue to raise to desired height only if vehicle is secure on lift. 11. DO NOT go near or under a raised vehicle if all four adapters are not in secure contact with vehicle at vehicle manufacturer’s recommended lift points. 12. Repeat entire loading and raising procedures if required. 13. Lower lift on to the safety locks. DANGER VISUALLY CONFIRM THAT ALL PRIMARY SAFETY LOCKS ARE ENGAGED BEFORE ENTERING WORK AREA.
6. Remove adapters from under vehicle and swing arms to full drive-thru position before moving vehicle. 7. NEVER drive over the lift arms. 8. If lift is not operating properly, do not use until adjustment or repairs are made by qualified lift service personnel. MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS CAUTION If you are not completely familiar with automotive lift maintenance procedures; STOP: Contact the factory for instructions.
REQUIRED MONTHLY MAINTENANCE Check all arm adjusting locks for proper operation. Check all cables connections, bolts and pins to insure proper mounting and torque. Visually inspect safety locks for proper operation. Lubricate columns with white lithium grease. Inspect all anchors bolts and retighten if necessary. Check all columns for squared and plumb. Inspect all pivot arms pins making sure they are properly secure. Check equalizer cable tension, and adjust if necessary. WARNING 1.
WIRE ROPE INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE ◊ Lifting cables should be replaced every 3 - 5 years or when visible signs of damage are apparent. DO NOT USE LIFT WITH DEFECTIVE / WORN CABLES. ◊ Lifting cables should be maintained in a well lubricated condition at all times. Wire rope is only fully protected when each wire strand is lubricated both internal and external. Excessive wear will shorten the life of the wire rope.
LIFT LOCKOUT / TAGOUT PROCEDURE Purpose: This procedure establishes the minimum requirements for the lockout of energy that could cause injury to personnel by the operation of lifts in need of repair or being serviced. All employees shall comply with this procedure. Responsibility: The responsibility for assuring that this procedure is followed is binding upon all employees and service personnel from outside service companies (i.e., authorized installers, contractors, etc.).
