CAUTION!
Precautions should be taken to prevent the introduction of contaminates such as
dirt or other foreign material into the system through open fittings, pipes or
disassembled components. Contamination will ruin the hydraulic system.
1. Make temporary hose connections with high-pressure hose (see chart below) to
allow the lift to be operated when it is set in the pit.
Hydraulic Piping/Hose Size
Up to 25 feet _” ID
26 feet to 50 feet _” ID
Over 50 feet 1” ID
2. Using _” 10 UNC eyebolts and a chain spreader, place the lift into the pit as
illustrated in Figure 9.
3. Remove the shipping bolt and eye bolts from the lift and hydraulically raise the
platform. Failing to remove the shipping bolts before operation will cause permanent
damage to the lift.
4. Check the routing of the temporary hydraulic lines to assure that the hose is clear of
legs, bas frame, and platform when lift is in the lowered position.
5. Make positioning adjustments of the lift to align the platform with a one-inch
clearance around the edges of the pit. Raise and lower the platform several times to
confirm the alignment is correct.
6. Raise the platform and install the maintenance locks (see “Lift Blocking Instructions”
section).
7. Lag down the base frame in the holes provided. Lag bolts should be able to
withstand 2000 lbs. minimum upward pull at each corner.
8. Replace the temporary hose connections with permanent hydraulic lines from the
power unit (refer to Hydraulic Piping/Hose Size chart above). The female end
connection on the lift base frame is _” NPT.
