IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Two Post Lifts
1. Any freight damage must be noted on the freight bill before signing and reported to the freight carrier
with a freight claim established. Identify the components and check for shortages. If shortages are
discovered, please contact the Distributor / Sales Rep. in your area for service.
2. Consult building owner and / or architect’s plans when applicable to establish the best lift location. The
lift should be located on a relatively level floor with 4 in. minimum thickness, 3000-psi concrete slab
that has been properly cured. There can be no cracks in the slab within 36 in. of the base plate
location, and no seams in the foundation within 6 in. of its location! Remember: any structure
is only as strong as the foundation on which it is located!
IMPORTANT! Make sure you have extra help or heavy duty lifting equipment when
unloading and assembling the lift.
3. Please read the safety procedures and operating instructions in this manual before operating lift. Keep
this manual near lift at all times. Make sure all operators read this manual.
4. The lift should be located on a relatively level floor of less than 3 degrees slope. If slope is
questionable, consider a survey of the site and/or the possibility of pouring a new level concrete slab.
5. Make sure you have enough area and ceiling height to install lift. (See Lift Specifications)
6. Never raise a car until you have double checked all bolts, nuts and hose fittings.
7. Always lower the lift onto the locks before going under the vehicle. Never allow anyone to go under
the lift when raising or lowering.
