Foundation & Anchoring Requirements: 1. Concrete shall have compression strength of at least 3,000 PSI and a minimum thickness of 4-1/4” in order to achieve a minimum anchor embedment of 3-1/4”. NOTE: When using the standard supplied 3/4” x 5-1/2” long anchors, if the top of the anchor exceeds 2-1/4” above the floor grade, you DO NOT have enough embedment. 2. Maintain a 6” minimum distance from any slab edge or seam. Hole to hole spacing should be a minimum 61/2” in any direction.
3. Installation Instructions WARNING!! Improper installation can cause accelerated wear, resulting in catastrophic failure which may cause property damage and / or bodily injury. Manufacturer will assume no liability for loss or damage of any kind, expressed or implied, resulting from improper installation or use of this product. Read this installation manual in its entirety before attempting to install or operate the lift.
Step 2: Runways & Crossbeams Installations NOTE: Lifting Cables & Pulleys are conveniently pre-assembled in Main Side Runway. As a result, the Runways will need to be elevated off floor a few inches allowing access to underside of Main Side Runway to access Cable Ends, Air Tubing, Hydraulic Hose, and Cylinder. 1) Position each runway in the predetermined location, making sure the jack rails on each runway are installed to the inside.
5) Remove cable guide tabs from the underside of each end of Crossbeam, using a hex head screwdriver, Fig. 6. Set Cable Guide Tabs & hardware aside for reassembly in the follwing steps. Cable Guide Tab (Underside) Fig. 6 6) Slide the cables from the ends of power-side runway and route the cables though the crossbeams referring to the routing diagram in Fig 7. FRONT VIEW REAR VIEW FRONT REAR Fig 7 CAUTION! Ensure the Cables are not twisted during routing and routed on the correct pulleys in Runways.
7) Route specific cable ends ‘down & around’ each crossbeam cable pulley and up, making sure cables are not crossed inside crossbeams, Fig. 8. Lift Cable Cable Pulley Fig. 8 8) Bolt the front of runways with wheel stops onto the front crossbeam by aligning the two holes in the top of the front crossbeam tube with the slots in the runway end plates and the holes in the front wheel stops. Secure runway & wheel stop to the crossbeam using four M12 x 40mm hex flange bolts, Fig 9.
Step 3: Posts & Crossbeams Installations 1) Position the Main Side Post (w/ Power Unit Mounting Bracket) at the left front corner of the Main Side Runway. Position the remaining three Sub Posts at the other remaining corners, shown in Fig. 2. 2) Locate the Latch Racks at the back of each Post and remove the M8 x 12mm screw & washer securing the Latch Rack to the lower section of posts, shown in Figs 10 & 11. Set M8 Screws & Washer aside for reassembly in the follwing steps.
6) Insert the steel Lift Cable through the Top Plate for each Post, as shown in Fig 14. Secure Cable End to the top of each post using M20 Hex Nut & Washer. Ensure the Lift Cable is routed correctly on the Slack Cable Roller, as shown in the Fig 15. M20 Hex Nuts & Washer Top Plate Slack Cable Roller Lift Cable Plastic Insert Screws Lift Post Plastic Crossbeam Cover Cable Pulley Lift Cable Fig. 14 Fig.
Step 4: Anchoring Posts 1) Before proceeding, double check measurements using the diagram below, Fig. 18. Ensure to keep columns square to center line of lift while checking dimensions side-to-side, front-to-rear, and diagonally. Note: Diagonals must be equal to within 1/4". Fig. 18 IMPORTANT: Refer to ‘FOUNDATION and ANCHORING REQUIREMENTS’ noted on (Page 8).
Step 5: Power Unit & Control Bracket Installation NOTE: There are two positions for mounting Power Unit & Control Bracket - Side of Post or Front of Post. Choose the desired position that best fits the service bay area. (Fig. 20) 1) Carefully remove Power Unit from the package and mount to the Main Side Post bracket using M8 x 25mm Bolts, Washers & Hex Nuts, keeping the left side slightly loose to mount Control Bracket, Fig. 21.
Step 6: Hydraulic Hose & Airline Installations CAUTION! Ensure Hydraulic Hose and Fittings are clean and there are no damages to Fitting threads. DO NOT use Teflon tape on Hydraulic Hose or Fitting connections. 1) Connect Hydraulic Hose with ‘elbow fitting end’ to the Cylinder Port Fitting. Route Hydraulic Hose through round metal rings on the underside of the Power Side Runway, as shown in Fig. 23. 2) Locate plastic Corrugated Flex Tubing and remove the Jam Nut from one end.
CAUTION! Locking Latches require compressed air pressure of 90 PSI Min to 115 PSI Max for proper latch operation. NOTE: To assemble airline tubing into push fittings, use firm pressure to push tubing into fitting until it bottoms out. Ensure tubing is cut square with no burrs, Fig 28. 7) Route and connect D6 Airlines to Lift for Latch operation, Fig. 27. Cut D6 airline to connect Air Fitting to Air Valve. Connect airline from Air Fitting to Air Valve using ‘Inlet’ Valve Port ‘A’, Figs. 27 A & B.
Step 7: Power Unit Electrical Connection WARNING: Electrical Wiring must comply with local code. Use separate circuit for each power unit and protect each circuit with time delay fuse. For 208V-230V single phase, use 20 amp fuse. 1) Have a Certified Electrician make the electrical connection from power supply to the power unit. Use separate circuit for each power unit, Fig. 29. 208 - 230VAC, 1PH, 60Hz Fig.
4) If Lift Does Not Raise to Full Height, additional hydraulic fluid may be required. If required, first ensure the lift is fully lowered, then check fluid level using the Dip Stick on Reservoir, Fig. 22. NOTE: Only add oil in small increments, never adding hydraulic fluid past the Max Fill Line on Drip Stick. CAUTION! Only ADD Hydraulic Fluid to Reservoir Tank when the Lift is fully Lowered. Failure to do so could result in overfilling reservoir tank causing possible damages.
8) Check clearance, starting with the right front post by using a straight edge to mark the position of the bottom of the crossbeam on the post. 9) Raise lift to full height again. Mark second position. If the gap between two marks is less than 2”, adjust locking latch bar to reach clearance of 2”. Repeat for the other three posts. 10) Adjust locking latch bar adjustment nut so that the bottom of the top most latch bar slot is at least 2” below locking latch.
4. Operation Safety SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Safety Instructions When using your garage equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following: · · · · · · · · · · · · Read Safety & Operating Instructions procedures in Manual completely before operating lift.
