RISKS

WARNING: Risks the personnel could encounter, due to an improper use of the lift, are described in this section.

• CRUSHING RISK
  During lowering of runways and vehicles, personnel must not be within the area covered by the lowering trajectory. The operator must be sure no one is in danger before operating the lift. Stay clear of the lift when lowering or raising vehicles. Keep hands and feet away from moving parts and especially points that could pinch. Keep your feet clear of the lift when raising and lowering vehicles.

• BUMPING RISK
  When the lift is stopped at relatively low working height, the risk of bumping against projecting parts increases. Always be aware of your surroundings and avoid bumping your head or body on the lift or the vehicle.

• RISK OF THE VEHICLE FALLING FROM THE LIFT
  Risk of the vehicle falling from the lift is increased: when the vehicle is improperly placed on the platforms, when the vehicle’s weight or physical dimensions exceed the rated capacity of the lift, or when there is excessive movement of the vehicle while on the lift. If vehicle appears to begin falling, exit the area as quickly as possible to avoid injury. Always position vehicle with the center of gravity midway between the adapters. Adding or removing parts of a vehicle on the lift will alter the weight displacement on the lift. Therefore, use of auxiliary safety stands in the front and back of the vehicle is recommended. Never override the manufactured lift controls. Always use height adapter pads when possible to ensure proper contact. Only authorized personnel should be allowed in the lift area and the lift should only be operated by authorized and trained personnel. Adding or removing parts of a vehicle on the lift will alter the weight displacement on the lift.

DESCRIPTION

The following is a 2-Column hydraulic, leaf chain driven lift.
The model numbers covered in this manual are designated below:
HD2P-9KFP: 2-Column Floorplate Lift type, 9,000 lb Capacity, Asymmetric
Swing Arm set up.

• This lift is a 9,000 lb capacity, 2-Post Lift. The safety latch system is very similar to an extension ladder. The safety latch is in contact with the rack as the lift ascends and drops into place as the lift rises. Safety latch engages in rack in 3” increments at about 16” from the ground. The latch must be manually disengaged for the lift to descend. The latch is released by raising the latch rack using the hydraulic drive system and pulling the release handle. If the user lets go of the manual release handle, the safety latch will re-engage on the next lock latch it encounters. Heavy bearings and heavy-duty leaf chains are used throughout the lift.
• The work is done with the heavy-duty chain connected to a 3” cylinder, driven by a hydraulic pump capable of providing 3,000 psi.
• Please read the Safety Procedures and operation instructions in this manual before operating the lift. Proper installation is very important. To minimize the chance of making an error in installation, please read this manual thoroughly before beginning installation. Check with building owner and/or architect’s building plans when applicable. The lift should be located on a level floor with 4” 3000 psi concrete sufficiently cured, for at least 30 days.
• This is a vehicle lift installation / operation manual and no attempt is made or implied herein to instruct the user in lifting methods particular to an individual application. Rather, the contents of this manual are intended as a basis for operation and maintenance of the unit as it stands alone or as it is intended and anticipated to be used in conjunction with other equipment.
• Proper application of the equipment described herein is limited to the parameters detailed in the specifications and the uses set forth in the descriptive passages. Any other proposed application of this equipment should be documented and submitted in writing to the factory for examination. The user assumes full responsibility for any equipment damage, personal injury, or alteration of the equipment described in this manual or any subsequent damages.

UNPACKING & SETUP

Only skilled personnel who are familiar with the lift and this manual shall be allowed to carry out, lifting, handling, transport and unpacking operations.

DELIVERY AND CHECK OF PACKAGES

• When the lift is delivered, carefully unpack the lift making sure all the parts have been included. Check for possible damages due to transport and storage; verify that what is specified in the confirmation of order is included. In case of damage in transit, the customer must immediately inform the carrier of the problem.
• Remove the lift and all parts from delivery pallet and place on a clean, solid, flat surface. Packages must be opened paying attention not to cause damage to people (keep a safe distance when opening straps) and parts of the lift (be careful the objects do not drop from the package when opening.)

LIFTING AND HANDLING
When loading/unloading or transporting the equipment to the site, be sure to use suitable loading (e.g. cranes, trucks) and hoisting means. Be sure to hoist and transport the components securely so that they cannot drop, taking into consideration the package’s size, weight, center of gravity, and its fragile parts.
LIFT AND HANDLE ONLY ONE PACKAGE AT A TIME

PREPARATION
Professional installation is required. The following tools and equipment are needed:

1. ISO-32 or AW-32 hydraulic oil (2.5 Gallons)
2. Chalk line and Tape Measure
3. Rotary Hammer Drill with 3/4” Drill Bit. Core Drill Rebar Cutter recommended
4. 4’ Level
5. Sockets and Open Wrench set, metric & standard (1-1/8”for 3/4” Anchors)
6. Pliers
7. Torque Wrench
8. Metric allen wrench set

SPECIFICATIONS

Carriage lock ladder will extend 11” above top of column when raised to max height.
Due to minor variances in the manufacturing process, dimensions in this manual may vary slightly from the finished product.

FLOOR REQUIREMENTS

SELECTING THE SITE AREA

1. Make sure that adequate space and height is available.
2. Check for ceiling clearance (lifting height plus vehicle height).
3. Check for clearance in front and rear of vehicle on lift.
4. Check for overhead garage door clearance.

FLOOR REQUIREMENTS
Do not use the lift on any asphalt surface. Make sure the lift is used on a dry, oil/grease free, flat level CONCRETE surface capable of supporting the weight of the lift, the vehicle being lifted, and any additional tools and equipment. The concrete floor surface should have a minimum thickness of 4”. The concrete must have a minimum strength of 3,000 PSI, and should be cured at least 30 days prior to use. Do not use the lift on concrete expansion seams or on cracked, defective concrete.

• WARNING: SPECIFICATIONS OF CONCRETE MUST BE ADHERED TO. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD CAUSE LIFT FAILURE RESULTING IN PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. THE FLOOR SHOULD BE A REINFORCED CONCRETE SLAB NOT LESS THAN 4” THICK WITH THE COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH OF THE CONCRETE NO LESS THAN 3,000 PSI.
• DANGER: FOR CORRECT INSTALLATION OF THE LIFT, THE FLOOR MUST BE FLAT AND LEVEL. CHECK WITH STRAIGHT EDGE AND LEVEL. IF A FLOOR IS OF QUESTIONABLE SLOPE, CONSIDER A SURVEY OF THE SITE AND/OR THE POSSIBILITY OF POURING A NEW LEVEL CONCRETE SLAB.
• IMPORTANT: NEW CONCRETE MUST BE ADEQUATELY CURED AT LEAST 30 DAYS MINIMUM. NO LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGES WILL BE ACCEPTED SHOULD YOU INSTALL THE LIFT ON AN UNSUITABLE FLOOR.

IMPORTANT CONCRETE AND ANCHORING INFORMATION

1. Concrete shall have compression strength of at least 3,000 PSI and a minimum thickness of 4”. Measure the length of the supplied anchor bolts in order to achieve a minimum anchor embedment of 3-1/4”. If the top of the anchor exceeds 2” above the floor grade, you DO NOT have enough embedment.
2. Before drilling 3/4” dia. Holes in concrete floor using holes in column base plate as guide, make sure the hole distance from the edge of the concrete or any cracks is no less than 8”.
3. DANGER: DO NOT Install on asphalt or other similar unstable surface. Columns are supported only by anchoring in floor.
4. Shim each column base until each column is plumb. If one column has to be elevated to match the plane of the other column, full size base shim plates should be used (Reference Shim Kit). Torque anchors to 85 ft-lbs. Shim thickness MUST NOT exceed 1/2”.
5. If anchors do not tighten to 85 ft-lbs installation torque, replace concrete under each column base with a 4’ x 4’ x 12” thick 3,000 PSI minimum concrete pad pinned to the existing concrete and flush with the top of existing floor. Let concrete cure at least 30 days before installing lifts and anchors.

ANCHORING TIP SHEET

1. Use a concrete hammer drill with a carbide tip, solid drill bit the same diameter as the anchor, 3/4”. (.775 to .787 inches diameter). Do not use excessively worn bits or bits which have been incorrectly sharpened.
2. Keep the drill perpendicular to the concrete while drilling.
3. Let the drill do the work. Do not apply excessive pressure. Lift the drill up and down occasionally to remove residue to reduce binding.
4. Drill the hole for anchor bolt completely through the concrete. If an error is made during the installation of these anchors, this will allow for the anchor bolt to be driven down into the ground, so that a new anchor may be installed in place (fig.1).
5. Be sure to clean all dust from hole (fig. 2).
6. Place a flat washer and hex nut over threaded end of anchor, leaving approximately 1/4 inch of thread exposed above the nut (fig.3). Carefully tap anchor into the concrete until nut and flat washer are against base plate. Be sure to only tap the top of the anchor and not the nut. This could cause damage to the threads of the anchor.
7. Tighten the nut (fig. 4) to 85 ft-lbs of torque (typically this should only be two to three full turns).
   DO NOT USE AN IMPACT WRENCH TO TIGHTEN ANCHORS!

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL DIMENSIONS GIVEN ARE FOR REFERENCE. FINAL DIMENSIONS MAY VARY SLIGHTLY. LIFT COLUMNS MUST BE PLUMB AND SQUARE REGARDLESS OF FINAL DIMENSIONS.

1. After unloading the lift, place it near the intended installation location.

2. Remove the shipping bands and protective wrapping from the lift. Support the top column as you remove the packing frames from each end of the lift. Be sure to set the columns down onto a block of wood to avoid any damage.

3. Remove all loose components from the lift columns and set aside. This is a good time to tighten the top plates of the columns if needed and check the contents of the parts box to ensure that you have all the components needed to complete this install.

4. Once you determine where you want to install the lift, check to make sure there are no obstructions in the ceiling that may interfere when standing the columns up. If clear, go ahead and stand the columns up at his time.

5. Position the columns facing each other 134.75” from the outside of the base plates; then install the locking system components into each column (refer to pictures). Be sure to secure the ends of the lock spindle with the provided C-Clips. Once installed, raise each carriage to the first safety lock. NOTE: The power unit column is referred to as the main side column and the non-power unit column is referred to as the offside column.

6. Once one of the lift columns is positioned, using a 3/4” concrete drill bit, drill the anchor bolt holes through the baseplate of the column, installing anchors as you go. Thread the nut to the top of anchor and carefully tap them into the holes drilled into the concrete.

7. Using a level, check column for side-to-side plumb and front-to-back plumb. It is very important that the columns are perfectly plumb in both directions. Failure to do this could result in premature wear on the lifting components and/or pad movement while lifting a vehicle. Use the provided shims to shim the lift column as needed by placing them around the anchor. Once the column is perfectly plumb, torque 3/4” anchor bolts to 85 ft-lbs using a torque wrench NOTE: DO NOT USE IMPACT WRENCH.

8. Using a tape measure, measure diagonally from the face of one column to the opposite face of the other, to ensure that the columns are square (see below). After confirming the dimensions, test fit the floor plate AND hydraulic hose BEFORE drilling the anchors for the offside column. This will help you determine if you have the columns spaced properly, prior to drilling the second column. Drill the anchor bolt holes in the column, installing anchors as you go. Check front to back and side to side plumb before torqueing anchors to 85 ft-lbs. Again, it is extremely important that these columns are perfectly plumb in both directions. Use shims to plumb columns as needed.

9. In order to operate both lock latches from the power unit column, you will need to install the safety release cable. Start by wrapping the wire around the pin of the lock mechanism on the offside column and install one of the provided clamps, leaving about 6-10 inches of excess cable. Route the other end of the cable in between the (2) pulleys below the lock and feed it down the column, behind the carriage until it can be routed around the pulley that is attached to the baseplate of the column. Continue to route the cable over to the opposite column, around the pulley at the baseplate of the column, then up the inside of the column, behind the carriage, until it can be routed around the top of the small pulley on the power unit side of the lift. (Tip: run a piece of string down the inside of the column and attach the cable so that you can easily pull the cable up, behind the carriage.) Loosen the bolt in the side of the lock mechanism on the power unit side column and feed the rest of the cable though the lock and pull all slack from the cable prior to snugging the pinch bolt back up. You can also install the safety lock release handle to the Main Side column but set the ball handle aside for later in the installation.

10. You are now ready to install the equalizing cables: Route cables through carriages and around pulleys as shown in diagram. Secure cables to the carriage using one of the two supplied cable nuts on each end of the cable. (The second nut will be used as a jam nut after final adjustments are made to cable.) (Tip: When installing the cables, loosen the nut on the cable that is pointing upward inside each carriage until the end of the stud is flush with the just one nut. Then to take up slack in the cables, pull down on the cable that is pointing downward inside each carriage and hand tightening cable nut. This will take all the slack out of the cable, leaving your adjustments to be made from the easier to reach cable nut. Tighten the nut on the cable that’s pointing up-ward until ½” to ¾” is sticking out past the single nut.)

11. Properly route and install the hydraulic hose, then place the hose cover on top. The hose cover may be anchored to the concrete using the supplied anchors, however, this step is not required.

12. Install the floor-plate to the base of the columns using the (4) supplied cap head bolts and washers.

13. Install the power unit to the main side column using the supplied bolts, washers, and nuts. Install short hose to make the connection between the hydraulic hose fitting on the cylinder and the hydraulic fitting on the power unit. NOTE: Hydraulic fitting that is supplied with the power-unit may need to be moved to the port on the opposite side of the valve body on certain lift models. It is REQUIRED that a licensed electrician make the electrical hookup to the power unit. NOTE: The electrical test lead that is connected to the motor is strictly for PRELIMINARY LIFT TESTING AND ADJUSTING ONLY.

14. Install the lifting arms and arm restraint pins. The easiest way to install these is to remove the cotter pin, washer, and spring, then drop them into the bracket from the top. Reinstall the spring, washer, and cotter pin after the pin is in place. (Tip: Before installing the arm restraint pins, remove the ball handles from the pins and spin the treaded plates down until the top of the gear block is 3 ¼” from the top of the threaded pin.)Adjust the arm lock gear and the arm lock until they mesh, then tighten the nut of the arm lock.

WARNING: The wiring must comply with local code. Have a certified licensed electrician make the electrical hook-up to the power unit. Protect each circuit with time delay fuse or circuit breaker 208v.230v single Phase. 60Hz 30 Amp.

15. To adjust the arm lock, loosen the arm restraint gear on each arm and push them into the arm lock block until the mesh completely, then tighten the bolts on the arm restraint gear. Next tighten the nut on the top of the arm lock block until it’s snug. Once that’s done, you can thread the ball handles to the arm restraint pins.

16. Prior to using the lift, it’s important that all (4) inside corners of each column get greased from top to bottom. Failure to do this will result in premature wear of the nylon slide blocks and could even cause the lift to bind while in use.

17. Fill power unit reservoir with (10) quarts (2.5 gal) of premium quality ISO-32 or AW-32 hydraulic oil only. Be sure to periodically check dipstick to prevent spillage. NOTE: This is a good time to check if all fittings on the lift are tightened properly.

18. Press and hold power button on motor to operate lift. Raise carriages all the way to the top of the lift, then lower carriages down to the ground to bleed air from the hydraulic system prior to adjusting cable tension. NOTE: Cables must be adjusted so that the safety locks engage simultaneously prior to lifting any weight. In order to adjust the cables properly, you will need to raise the lift to determine which side is engaging into the lock latches first. Whichever side is higher, tighten the nut on the cable end pointing upward in the carriage to raise the other side that is trailing behind. When the lift is properly adjusted, the locks will engage together and you will hear only one click.
    WARNING: WHEN RAISING THE LIFT ALL THE WAY UP FOR THE FIRST TIME, BE SURE THAT YOU ARE CHECKING FOR CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE LOCK LADDER ON THE CARRIAGE AND THE PULLEY THAT’S FIXED TO THE TOP PLATE OF THE COLUMN. IF THERE ISN’T ENOUGH CLEARANCE BETWEEN THESE 2 PARTS, YOU WILL NEED TO LOOSEN UP THE 4 BOLTS AT THE TOP OF EACH COLUMN AND SLIDE THE ENTIRE TOP CAP INWARD TO THE CENTER OF THE LIFT. THIS WILL ALLOW THE LOCK LADDERS OF THE CARRIAGES TO PROPERLY PASS THROUGH THE TOP PLATES.

19. Once all adjustments are finished, you can install the lock covers on each side of the column using the (8) supplied cap head bolts and washers. Also, don’t forget to install the truck adapter mounting brackets on each column as well as installing the black “toe guards” onto each arm, while you are finishing up.

    • WARNING: DO NOT PERFORM ANY MAINTENANCE OR INSTALLATION OF ANY COMPONENTS WITHOUT FIRST ENSURING THAT ELECTRICAL POWER HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED AT THE SOURCE OR PANEL AND CANNOT BE REENERGIZED UNTIL ALL MAINTENANCE AND/OR INSTALLATION PROCEDURES ARE COMPLETED.
    • DANGER: DO NOT RUN POWER UNIT WITHOUT FLUID. DAMAGE TO PUMP CAN OCCUR. THE POWER UNIT MUST BE KEPT DRY. DAMAGE TO POWER UNIT CAUSED BY WATER OR OTHER LIQUIDS SUCH AS DETERGENTS, ACID ETC., IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

OPERATION
WARNING: FAILURE TO OPERATE THE LIFT ACCORDING TO THIS MANUAL MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE LIFT, PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.

1. Before driving a vehicle onto the lift make sure the lift is fully lowered. Before driving a vehicle onto the lift, position the lift arms outward. Do not hit or run over the lifting arms, as this could damage the vehicle and/or lift. Make sure the lift is fully lowered before moving the vehicle over the lift. NOTE: It is recommended to swing both arms outward pointing toward the front of the lift prior to loading a vehicle into the HD2P-9KFP.

2. Drive the vehicle over the lift while keeping the vehicle parallel with the lift and aligning the center of gravity of the vehicle with the center of the lift. NOTE: The “Center of Gravity” (COG) of the vehicle is the balance point at which there is equal weight in front of and behind the COG, and equal weight on both sides of the COG. The COG is not necessarily the dimensional center of the vehicle, but is often slightly toward the engine from the dimensional center of the vehicle.

3. Turn off the vehicle’s engine and engage the parking brake of the vehicle.

4. Read the vehicles owner’s manual to identify the recommended vehicle lifting points.

5. Prepare the work area according to this manual. Move the lifting arms inward, and position the rubber pads to contact with the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended lifting points.
   IMPORTANT: PLACE THE FOUR RUBBER PADS UNDER EDGE OF VEHICLE AT THE FOUR JACK POINTS.

6. Once the lifting arms have been positioned under the vehicle lifting points, operate the power switch to make contact and lift the vehicle slightly. Test to make sure the vehicle is well balanced and the contact between the rubber pads and vehicle lifting points are secure by performing the “BUMPER TEST.” (pg. 2) Then proceed to lift the vehicle to the desired height.

7. WARNING: Do not lift the vehicle if you cannot establish secure and level lifting points. Do not use sub-standard shims or other devices in place of approved and recommended rubber pad adapters. Never use the lift without the rubber pads in place on each plate and in contact with the lifting points of a vehicle.

8. Press up button and raise vehicle to desired height. Do not go under vehicle until load rests on level safety locks.

9. While lifting the vehicle a clicking sound should be noticeable which indicates the safety mechanism is operating. If this sound is not heard, immediately cease using the lift and call an authorized service agent.

10. When lift reaches maximum height, a limit switch will come into operation and stop the lift. When lift has stopped, press and hold the lowering handle (Fig. 1) until load rests on level safety locks.

11. Once the repair work to the vehicle is complete, make sure to remove all tools, safety jack stands, and materials from under the vehicle and lift. Also, make sure the work area is clear and it is safe to lower the vehicle.

12. Lower vehicle by pressing the Up button to disengage the safety locks. Pull the latch release to release (Fig. 2) the safety locks then press the lowering handle (Fig. 1) until the lift is completely lowered.

13. Move the lifting arms outward, out of the path of the vehicle. Clear all bystanders, and any objects from work area and direction of vehicle.

14. Disengage the vehicle parking brake. Start the vehicle’s engine, and drive the vehicle off the lift slowly and carefully.

    • WARNING: THE OPERATOR MUST BE TRAINED AND AUTHORIZED TO OPERATE THE LIFT.
    • WARNING: DO NOT GO UNDER VEHICLE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES WHILE VEHICLE IS BEING RAISED OR LOWERED.
    • WARNING: LOAD MUST BE EVENLY DISTRIBUTED BETWEEN BOTH LIFTING PLATFORMS. IF LOAD IS UNBALANCED, REPOSITION VEHICLE. DO NOT LOWER ON TO LOCKS AT DIFFERENT HEIGHTS.

  * Replace or rebuild air and hydraulic cylinders as required.
  * Replace or rebuild pumps / motors as required.
  * Check hydraulic and air cylinder rod and rod end (threads) for deformation or damage.
  * Check cylinder mount for looseness and damage.  

Relocating or changing components may cause problems. Each component in the system must be compatible; an undersized or restricted line will cause a drop in pressure. All valve, pump, and hose connections should be sealed and/or capped until just prior to use. Air hoses can be used to clean fittings and other components. However, the air supply must be filtered and dry to prevent contamination. Most important – CLEANLINESS – contamination is the most frequent cause of malfunction or failure of hydraulic equipment.

6. EVERY OTHER YEAR
   Hydraulic oil should be replaced.
   IMPORTANT: AFTER CLEANING WORKSHOP FLOOR OR LIFT, TO MAINTAIN HOIST EFFICIENCY WE ADVISE TO LUBRICATE LIFTING ARM LOCKING MECHANISM, AND SAFETY LOCKING MECHANISM. CHECK SAFETY LOCKING MECHANISM IS FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY.

MAINTENANCE BY OPERATOR

All moving parts have been lubricated at the factory and should be re- lubricated before the first use and at least once every six months to prevent damage.

1. HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

2. Check the fluid level with the lift fully lowered and add fluid as required. Use premium quality ISO-32 or AW-32 hydraulic oil.

3. Visually check all hydraulic hoses and connections for tightness before each use to ensure proper working condition.

4. Lightly oil the cylinder rods at least once every six months or when they become dry.

5. GREASING POINTS

   • SLIDE TRACKS:
   • The carriage assembly slide tracks should be greased every six months (or more frequently in case of noise generation).
   • Slightly grease the slide tracks over their whole length using a brush.
   • ARM PINS:
   • Grease the arm pins to prevent excessive wear

6. OPERATION AND WEAR CHECKS

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. Motor does not run:
   • Breaker or fuse blown.
   • Motor thermal overload tripped. Wait for overload to cool.
   • Faulty wiring connections……Call electrician for service.
   • Defective up button……Call electrician for service.
2. Motor runs but will not raise:
   • A piece of trash is under the check valve. Push handle down and push the up button at the same time. Hold for 10-15 seconds. This should flush the system.
   • Check the clearance between the plunger valve of the lowering handle. There should be 1/16”.
   • Remove the check valve cover and clean ball and seat.
   • Oil level too low. Oil level should be just under the vent cap port when the lift is in the lowered position.
3. Oil blows out breather of power unit:
   • Oil reservoir overfilled.
   • Lift lowered too quickly while under a heavy load.
4. Motor hums and will not run:
   • Impeller fan cover is dented. Take off and straighten.
   • Faulty wiring……Call electrician.
   • Bad capacitor……Call electrician.
   • Low voltage……Call electrician.
   • Lift overloaded……Reduce weight.
5. Lift jerks going up and down: Air in hydraulic system. Raise lift all the way to top and return to floor; Repeat 4-6 times. Do not let this overheat power unit.
6. Oil leaks:
   • Check the power unit: If the power unit leaks hydraulic oil around the tank-mounting flange, check the oil level in the tank. The level should be two inches below the flange of the tank. Check with a screwdriver.
   • Check the rod end of the cylinder: If the rod seal of the cylinder is out, rebuild or replace the cylinder.
   • Breather end of the cylinder: If the piston seal of the cylinder is out, rebuild or replace the cylinder.
7. Lift makes excessive noise:
   • Leg of the lift is dry and requires grease.
   • Cylinder pulley assembly or cable pulley assembly is not moving freely.
   • May have excessive wear on pins or cylinder yoke.
