COLUMN ASSEMBLE Assemble the column extensions and the positive carriage stop brackets to each column using 12 sets of 12x35 hex bolts, flat washers, lock washers and nuts. Repeat for opposite column and extension. Determine if the lift will be in the tallest or lowest position at this time. Note that the TLT211-AS column extensions are already assembled and may be preassembled at either the short or tallest position.
Refer to Bay Layout Figures about to ensure that the column is still in the proper position before the anchor bolts are installed Prior to installing anchors, assemble the nut and washer onto anchors. A minimum of six threads must be visible below the surface of the nut. Refer to the figure below while reading through the following instructions. Using a ¾” concrete drill bit and rotary hammer drill, drill ¾” holes for the anchor bolts on the power side column. Drill through the concrete floor.
INSTALLING THE OVERHEAD BEAM After positioning the slave column at the designated chalk location; assemble the overhead beam on the shop floor to either the narrow or widest lift width hole positions as determined by the chalk line measurements. See the photo below for illustration. Photo below shows the overhead beam assembled at the widest (most common) position. While the overhead beam is still on the shop floor install the provided 4 pulleys (sheaves).
ASYMMETRIC PULLEY INSTALLATION Use the 4 pulleys (sheaves) located in the parts packaging combined with the parts in the packet marked “Asymmetric Installation” to install the pulleys for an Asymmetric configuration. Below is what is contained in the asymmetric parts packet. No. Name and Specs Part Number Qty.
Asymmetric Pulley Configuration Continued…. The photo below illustrated the proper alignment and placement of the pulleys into the overhead beam. Note that the outer pulley is positioned on the overhead beam in the outer most axle holes and that it is closest to the front of the lift. The inner pulley is positioned in the inner most axles holes and is mounted toward the rearward area of the lift.
SYMETRIC PULLEY INSTALLTION Use the 4 pulleys (sheaves) located in the parts packaging combined with the parts in the packet marked “Symmetric Installation” to install the pulleys for a Symmetric configuration. Below is what is contained in the symmetric parts packet. No. Name and Specs Part Number Qty.
Symmetric Pulley Installation Continued… The photos below illustrate the proper alignment and placement of the pulleys (sheaves) into the overhead beam. Note that both pulleys are positioned on the overhead beam sharing a common axle and the axle is positioned in the outer most axle holes and that is closest to outer most area of the overhead beam. Install both sets of pulleys on each end of the over beam to exactly match each other.
SYMETRIC OVERHEAD BEAM INSTALLATION Lift the overhead beam to the level of the column tops and use the fasteners to attach it to the upper columns and the transitional brackets. If you are installing for a Symmetric configuration the column mounting bolts must be aligned as show below.
INSTALLING THE PADDED SAFETY BAR AND SHUTOFF SWITCH Install the safety shut-off electrical switch to the bracket on the underside of the overhead beam adjacent to the power unit column. Use the provided shoulder bolt and cotter pin to attach to the bracket and then route the electrical cord up into the overhead beam via the small hole next to the bracket. When this is done the shut-off switch will be in a vertical position.
INSTALLING THE EQUALIZATION CABLES Note: For the widest and tallest configuration the cables must be connected to the lowest innermost hole inside the carriage. For either the narrow or shortest configuration the cables must be connected to the middle hole inside the carriage. For both the narrow and shortest configuration the cables must be connected to the top hole inside the carriage and you must use the cable tube extensions (They look like a 1”x6” diameter pipe) so the cable bolts can be tightened.
HYDRAULIC HOSE INSTALLATION Refer to the drawing below for the hydraulic hose location. Please reference the hydraulic hose instructions preceding the drawing.
Hydraulic Hose Installation continued… After referring to the drawing above install the hydraulic hoses in this sequence. Notice: DO NOT USE TYFLON TAPE ON ANY HIGH PRESSURE FITTTINGS. THIS ABOVE GROUND TWO POST LIFT UTILIZATES ONLY HIGH PRESSURE HYDRAULIC OIL FITTINGS. TYFLON TAPE IS ONLY DESIGNED FOR LOW PRESSURE WATER PIPE. Use only high pressure oil sealant compound to the male and female threads.
SAFETY SHUTOFF SWITCH It is very important to keep proper clearance between shutoff switch electrical cord and the steel cable. Use the provided plastic ties to connect the electrical cord and hose together to avoid any possible damage caused by interference between the electrical cord and the steel cable.
POWER UNIT INSTALLATION 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) Remove the power unit from the shipping box. Remove the red plastic plug on the oil tank. Remove the black breather cap on the lower section of the oil tank. Install the black breather cap into the fill hole at the top of the tank. Install the red plastic plug into the hole at the bottom of the tank. After removing the plastic plug on the side of the power unit valve body install the 90 degree hydraulic fitting using high pressure sealant compound.
CONNECTING THE POWER SUPPLY 1) A certified electrician must connect the 230Volt/1Ph power unit and the overhead Shutoff Switch to the electrical supply. 2) Remove the sealed cover on the electrical junction box on the power unit and connect the wiring according to the wiring diagram. See Figure 9 3) A power supply switch is required to be installed near the lift for rapidly disconnecting the electrical power supply during maintenance or in case of emergency.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM BLEEDING Crack the bleeder valve located at the top of both cylinders (approx. ¼ turn) Power up 2”-3”. You should hear air escaping around the bleeder valve. Repeat 3 – 4 times or until only oil is coming out of the bleeder valve. Tighten the bleed screw and lower the lift and recheck oil tank level.
After bleeding the hydraulic system and checking for leaks, install all of the metal hose covers. In the parts box you will find small threaded bolts with the top of the bolt drilled and taped. Install these bolts into the predrill holes on the side of each column. On the power unit side at the hydraulic “T” fitting a special hose cover with a cutout to allow for the “T” connectors shall be used.
SAFETY RELEASE CABLE ROUTING AND ADJUSTMENT The mechanical safety automatically engages. To release the mechanical safety, you must first raise the lift approximately 2”, and then pull the safety release lever down. This disengages the power side safety locks and activates the safety cable to release the slave side safety lock.
Attach the two (2) provided white nylon cable guides using the retaining rings onto the horizontal metal post just above the carriage locking mechanism on the slave side column. Inspect the metal post for any paint overspray and clean with sandpaper if necessary. Use a small amount of general purpose grease on the metal post prior to installing these cable guides. Attach the steel cable to the large metal post on the slave side column side using the provided cable clamps. See the photo below for reference.
Power Unit Column Adjust the slack in the single point lock cable at the power unit side so that when the release lever is pulled down both carriage locks will disengage. Tighten the cable clamps and install the carriage lock covers on each side with the four (4) provided screws. (Factory tip: Adjust the cables to release the locks just before the lock release lever has reached maximum travel…this prevents overstretching the cable).
FOOTPAD EXTENSION STORAGE Attach the two (2) footpad extension storage brackets one to each column using the two (2) metal screws. Store the footpad extensions as show in the photo below. At this time operate the lift up and down 2-3 times and re-adjust the equalization cables if needed so the carriage locks engage equally.
FINAL CHECK OF ASSEMBLED LIFT 1. Final dimension check after anchoring 2. Check for hydraulic leaks. 3. Ensure cables are properly routed and free from obstructions. 4. Check jam nuts on cables are tightened. 5. Check for oil leaks. 6. Check adjustment of safety release cable to ensure both sides are working properly. 7. Re-check level of towers. 8. Check torque of anchor bolts. 9. Check all fasteners, tighten if necessary. 10. Check shut off at top of stroke to ensure lift shuts off. 11.
1. Position arms to drive-thru position. 2. Refer to supplied literature prior to loading vehicle. Center the vehicle between the lift posts. 3. Only lift the vehicle on the manufacturers recommended lift points. Refer to supplied lift points guide (reference ANSI/SAE J2184-1992). 4. Locate lift pads on auto manufacturer's recommended lift points. Once you have correctly positioned the lift arms, ensure that all arm restraints are properly engaged. 5.

Drive vehicle on to lift and locate the arms as per the “Lift it Right” manual. 3. Raise lift to and lower onto 3-4 lock positions during full rise to ensure all locks are working correctly. 4. Re-adjust cables if necessary while vehicle is on. 5. Check lowering speed and smooth decent rate. 6. Lower lift to ground and drive vehicle off lift.
MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Refer to Section 2 for more Safety Instructions. Read operating and safety manuals before using any lift. Do not operate a lift that has been damaged or is in disrepair. Proper inspection and maintenance is necessary for safe operation. PERIODIC MAINTENANCE DAILY: 1. Check all hydraulic lines and fittings for pinch points , damage , cracks or leaks 2. Check all electrical wiring for pinch points , cracks or damage 3.
WIRE ROPES Wire ropes are critical to safe and reliable performance of your lift. Cables are expendable items and should be replaced as a set.
WIRE ROPE REPLACEMENT CRITERIA: If any cable is found to be in need of replacement, the entire cable set, pulleys and safety rollers must be replaced immediately. See cable conditions guide. In the following table, "lay" means the distance measured along a line parallel to the axis of the rope in which the strand makes one complete turn about the axis of the rope, or the wires make a complete turn about the axis of the strand.
WIRE ROPE LUBRICATION Lubricate wire ropes with lift in both lowered and raised position, by spraying them with wire rope lubricant (i.e. 2001 MONOLEC®) and wiping the cable down. WIRE ROPE ADJUSTMENT Adjust cables if lifting is uneven or lift is not level (See chapter 7.15.3). Never make adjustments with weight on lift. If running out of adjustment threads, cables need to be replaced. Do not add washers or other spacers to re-use previously used adjustment threads.
