TEST RUN

  1. Adjust the equalizing cable (See Fig. 44)Atlas-PV10-Adjustable-Overhead-Two-Post-Lift-fig-41Use a wrench to hold the cable end, meanwhile, use a ratchet to tighten the cable nuts until both cables have the same tension. If the two carriages do not lift at the same time, screw and tighten the cable nuts on the lower of the two carriages.

  2. Adjust safety cable
    Lift the carriages and lock at the same height, pull the safety cable and then release a little, and then tighten the safety cable nuts. Make sure the safety locks click at the same time.

  3. Bleeding air from oil cylinder (See Fig. 45)Atlas-PV10-Adjustable-Overhead-Two-Post-Lift-fig-42This hydraulic system is designed to bleed air by loosening the bleeding screw on top of the cylinders. Lift the carriages to about 12 inches and loosen the bleeding plug.
    Lower the lift until fluid comes out. Tighten the screws after bleeding.

  4. Adjust the lowering speed (Only for ATLAS power unit)
    (Adjust with a load on the lift) (See Fig. 46)
    You can adjust the lowering speed of the lift if needed: Loosen the locking nut on the throttle valve, and then turn the throttle valve clockwise to decrease the lowering speed, or counterclockwise to increase the lowering speed.Atlas-PV10-Adjustable-Overhead-Two-Post-Lift-
fig-43

  5. Test with load
    After finishing the above adjustment, test running the lift with load. Run the lift in low position several times first. Run the lift to the top completely.
    NOTE : If the lift vibrates on the way up with a load, lubricate all pulley shafts and wear blocks. If the lift vibrates on the way down, the cylinders need to be bled.

  3. Open or swing lift arms away from the center of the lift;

  4. Position vehicle between columns;

  5. Move or swing arms to the vehicle’s lifting points;
    NOTE : The four lift arms must make contact at the same time with the vehicle’s lifting and both axles must rise off the ground at the same time

  6. Push the “UP” button until the lift pads contact the underside of the vehicle. Raise the vehicle just enough that the wheels are off the floor. Recheck to make sure the vehicle is secure.

  7. Continue to raise the lift slowly to the desired working height.

  8. Push the lowering handle to lower lift onto the nearest safety lock. The vehicle is ready to repair.
    NOTE : The lift must always be on the safety locks when holding a vehicle.

To lower vehicle

  1. Keep the lift area clean and free of clutter.
  2. Push the “UP” button to raise the vehicle slightly, and then pull the safety lock handle to release the safety locks, and lower the vehicle by depressing the power unit and lowering the handle.
  3. Lower the vehicle completely to the floor, until arms no longer contact the vehicle.
  4. Open the arms and position them to the shortest length.
  5. Drive the vehicle out of the lift.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

Monthly:

  1. Re-torque the anchor bolts to 85 Ft Lbs;
    Note : All anchor bolts should take full torque. If any of the bolts do not for any reason, DO NOT use the lift until the bolt has been replaced.

  2. Check all connectors, bolts and pins to ensure proper mounting;

  3. Lubricate cable with lubricant;

  4. Make a visual inspection of all hydraulic hoses/lines for possible wear or leakage;

  5. Check Safety locks and make sure they are in proper condition;

  6. Lubricate all Rollers and Pins with 90wt. Gear oil or equivalent;

Every six months:

  1. Make a visual inspection of all moving parts for possible wear, interference or damage.
  2. Check and adjust as necessary the tension of the equalizer cables to ensure level lifting.
  3. Check columns for plumbness.
  4. Check Rubber Pads and replace as necessary.
  5. Check Safety locks and make sure proper condition.

Oil cylinder maintenance:
In order to extend the service life of the oil cylinder, please operate according to the following requirements.

  1. Recommend the use of AW32 or AW46 anti-wear hydraulic oil.
  2. The hydraulic oil of the lifts should be replaced regularly during use. Replace the hydraulic oil 3 months after the first installation, Replace the hydraulic oil once a year afterwards.
  3. Make at least one full trip raising and lowering per day. To bleed any air from the system, which could effectively avoid the corrosion of the cylinder and damage to the seals caused by presence of air or water in the system.

Protect the outer surface of the oil cylinder’s piston rod from bumping and scratching, and clean any debris on the oil cylinder dust-ring and the piston rod as soon as possible.
