WARNING !
Before installing the lift, read & follow the recommended
safety practices in the Safety Practices section. Failure to
follow these safety practices could result in death or serious
injury
FLOOR
INSTALLATION
1. Make sure the installation area is clean before starting. Check the mounting
surface of the floor with a level or straight edge. If the floor is not level, add
shims or grout under the lift base frame along the entire perimeter of the base
to achieve a level and flat base installation. A level base will ensure proper
wheel tracking and smooth lift operation.
2. If the permanent electrical work is not complete, some means of temporary
lines with an on-off device for the power supply should be set up for testing
purposes.
3. Place the lift in the installation area and level the base frame per note #1.
4. Make temporary electrical connections and permanent hydraulic connections.
Raise the lift approximately one foot using the “UP” button. Then lower the lift
back to fully collapse, holding the “DOWN” button for approximately 60
seconds. Repeat this process five to seven times to bleed any air out of the
hydraulic system.
5. Raise the lift to the top of its travel and make positioning adjustments. Check
for the proper height. If needed, shim to the desired height. DO NOT “spot”
shim. Shim the full length of the base frame. This will prevent the frame from
sagging under an exceptionally heavy load.
6. The base frame of the lift has pre-drilled holes for lagging it securely to the floor.
Mark the holes, drill, and install with anchors. Lifts with oversize platforms have
minimum pull out requirements of 2,000 lbs. for each anchor.
7. Make permanent electrical connections and operate the lift through a few cycles.
NOTICE!
Lifts designed to be surface mounted are built with the decks
welded on and should not be lifted by the deck or top frame.
Doing so may result in damage to the cylinder base mounting
straps.
