2. Take out the carriage’s plastic cover, cable pass through from the bottom of the
3. Connecting cable for high setting (See Fig. 28)
4. Low-setting cable connection (See Fig. 29).
   Note : Cable should go inside of the carriage.

M. Install power unit (See Fig. 30)

N. Install oil hose
At high setting and low setting oil hose connection (See Fig. 31).

O. Install safety cable.
Install safety cable from offside safety device to power-side safety device, pass through the top beam (See Fig. 32)

P. Install hose retainers on both columns (See Fig. 33).

Q. Install lifting arms and adjust the arm locks

1. Install lifting arms (See Fig. 34).
2. Lower the carriages down to the lowest position, then use an 8mm Allen wrench to loosen the socket bolt (See Fig.35).
3. Adjust the moon gear in the direction of the arrow (See Fig.36).
4. Adjust the moon gear and arm lock to make it meshed, then tighten the socket bolts of the arm lock (See Fig.37).

R. Tighten All Hydraulic Fittings and Fill the reservoir with Hydraulic Oil.
Approximately 4 gallons are required.
Note : For the best performance it is recommended to use AW32 or AW46 series hydraulic oil.

S. Install electrical system

• Connect the power source according to the data plate on the Power Unit.
• Remove the short “Pig Tail” wire connected to the AC contactor terminals. This wire was used to test the motor after production.

ATLAS Single-phase motor
Please Note : This motor is powered by Alternating Current and the terminals on the AC contactor are not wire color specific. There are no positive or negative terminals.

TEST RUN

1. Adjust the equalizing cable (See Fig. 44)Use 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)This 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.

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.

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.
