INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
See the Installation and Parts Reference section of this manual for diagrams and parts lists that
will assist you during the installation process. Use these diagrams and parts lists together with
the following written instructions.
1. Raise the power side column and the other column facing each other. Make sure the
outside baseplates distance is 135’’.
2. Using a 3/4" concrete drill, drill the anchor holes in the main side column, installing anchors
(do not tighten). Use a block of wood or rubber mallet to drive anchor bolts in. Drill to a
minimum depth of 4" to insure maximum holding power. Drilling thru concrete
(recommended) will allow the anchor to be driven thru the bottom if the threads are
damaged.
3. Using a level, check column for side-to-side plumb and front-to-back plumb. Use 3/4”
washers or shim stock, placing shims as close as possible to the holes’ locations. This will
prevent bending the column bottom plates. Tighten 3/4” anchor bolts to 150-lbs.
4. Place floor plate in between columns, make sure the slots on floor plate match the holes
on the columns, slightly adjust non-power side column if necessary.
5. Using a tape measure, measure from back corner of the base on main side column to the
opposite back corner of the offside column to insure legs are square.
6. Drill holes and install anchor bolts at non-power side column.
7. Installing the equalizing cables: refer to Diagram 5 for general cable arrangement for the
lift. Set carriages on the first safety latch engagement. Be sure each carriage is at the same
height by measuring from the top of the base to the bottom of the carriage (double check
the latches before working under the carriages). This dimension should be within 1/4".
Run first cable. Tighten nut on one cable stud so that the end of stud passes the nylon on
the nut. Pull the other end of cable and run nut on it. Tighten both nuts. Repeat above for
second cable.
8. Connecting the hydraulic hoses, as shown on Diagram 10.
9. Mount the power unit on lift as Diagram 1.
10. Mount the floor plate as Diagram 13.
11. Install the swing arms on the carriages using the included 1 1/2” diameter pins. Check for
proper engagement of the arm lock- the rack on the lock should fully engage the gear on
the arm.
12. Adjust the carriage cables tension. Adjust each cable to approximately 1/2” side-to-side
play. Check the latch releases to insure the carriage is still sitting on the appropriate latch.
13. Remove the vent plug from the power unit and fill the reservoir. Use ISO 32 hydraulic oil
(10W non detergent hydraulic oil). Put the black plastic cap at the top of the tank.
14. Make the electrical hookup to the power unit. 220V Single Phase. It is recommended that
a 220 Volt, 30 Amp twist lock plug be installed in the power line just ahead of the power
unit. Size wire for 30-amp circuit. Warning: the wiring must comply with local code.
Have a certified electrician make the electrical hook-up to the power unit.
Protect each circuit with time delay fuse or circuit breaker 208v.230v single
Phase. 60 Hz 30 Amps. Motor can not run on 50hz with out a physical change
to motor.
