· Read this installation and operation manual in its entirety before
attempting to install the lift. Manufacturer or distributor assumes no
responsibility for loss or damage of any kind, expressed or implied, resulting
from improper installation or use of this lift. Always use professional
installation companies. · All persons using the equipment must be responsible,
qualified, and carefully follow the operation and safety guidelines contained
in this manual. · A level floor is required for proper lift installation and
operation. · DO NOT install this lift on any asphalt surface. Recommend on
concrete surface a minimum of 6″ thick and 3,500 psi tensile strength with
steel or fiber mesh reinforcement. If you always lift vehicles below
4t(9,000LB), 4″ thick concrete will be fine. · DO NOT install this lift over
concrete expansion joints or cracks. (Check with your building architect) · DO
NOT install this lift on an upper floor without written authorization from
your building architect. Should only be installed on a ground floor without a
basement. · DO NOT attempt to lift only part of a vehicle. This lift is
intended to raise the entire body of a vehicle only. This will bend the arms
and void the warranty. · NEVER lift any persons or vehicles containing
persons. This lift is designed to lift empty vehicles only.
Preparation
· Concrete rotary hammer drill with 3/4″ drill bit · Rubber hammer · Chalk
line · Sockets and open wrench set · Ratchet driver · Vise grips · Tape
measure · Screwdrivers · Torque wrench · Two 10′ to 12′ step ladders · 4′
level · 12″ crescent wrench · AW32 non-foaming hydraulic fluid (4 gallons)
Installation Requirements
· Use proper lifting techniques when lifting individual pieces. Use plenty of
help when moving lift pieces. Please wear work gloves to protect your hands. ·
The lift should be installed on a leveled floor with a slope of less than 3
degrees. · Do not install this lift on asphalt, wood, or any other surface
other than described. · Do not install this lift outdoors unless special
consideration has been made to protect the power unit from inclement weather
conditions. · Do not install lift in a basement or on any level other than
ground level (such as the second floor) without written authorization from
your building engineer or architect. · Concrete surface shall have a minimum
of 6″ thick and 3,500 psi tensile strength with steel or fiber mesh
reinforcement (If you always lift vehicles below 9,000LB, 4″ thick concrete
will be fine). Minimum size of a slab: 216″L x 100″W x 6″H 3500 psi. ·
Alternatively, columns can be installed on two concrete footings. 2 ft x 2 ft
with 30″ deep (or 3 ft x 3 ft with 12″ deep) and 3500 psi tensile strength
with steel or fiber mesh reinforcement. · Maintain a 6″ minimum distance from
a slab edge. Do not install this lift over expansion joints or cracks. Check
with your qualified engineer or architect. · Leave spaces on all 4 sides when
placing the lift. Recommended at least 2′ distances on all 4 sides when a
vehicle is loaded. · Improper installation can cause damage or injury.
Manufacturer will assume no liability for loss or damage of any kind,
expressed or implied, resulting from improper installation or use of this
product. · The lift is for lifting vehicles only. It is not designed to lift a
person or an equipment with a person. · Read this installation manual in its
entirely before attempting to install this lift. · Use of this lift should
follow the operation and safety guidelines set forth in this manual.
Anchoring Tips
· Check the following diagram for the footprint of columns with anchor bolts
positions.
· Use a concrete rotary hammer drill with 3/4″ drill bit. Do not use
excessively worn or incorrectly sharpened drill bits. · Keep the drill in a
perpendicular position when drilling. Let the drill do the work. Do not apply
excessive pressure. · Lift the drill up occasionally and clean residue in the
hole. · Drill the holes 1″ deeper than the length of the anchor bolts. Drill
through the concrete is recommended (when you move the lift to a new location,
you may hammer down the anchor bolts instead of cutting them off). · For
better holding, power blow dust from the hole. · Place a flat washer and hex
nut over threaded end of anchor, leaving approximately 1/2″ of thread exposed.
Carefully tap the anchor. Do not damage threads. Tap the anchor into the
concrete until the nut and flat washer are against the base plate. Do not use
an impact wrench to tighten. Tighten the nut two or three turns after the
concrete is cured (28-day minimum cure). If the concrete is very hard, tighten
only one or two turns.
Installation Instructions
Step 1 (Preparation)
· Please carefully remove all the parts from the package. Remove any loose
cables, hoses, part boxes, hydraulic power unit, etc. if they are inside the
columns or banded to the columns. Remove the power unit box and four swing
arms Remove the bolts holding the two columns together. Remove top and bottom
columns out of the skid and discard the steel rack. · Compare the parts with
the part list (at the end of the manual) and contact us if there are any parts
missing. · Please read the installation requirements and anchoring tips in
previous pages for concrete requirement, layout, and drill holes for anchor
bolts. The area where the lift will be installed should be free of overhead
obstructions such as heater, building support, or electrical lines. · Once a
location is determined, use a carpenter’s chalk line to layout a grid for the
column locations · After the post locations are marked, use a chalk to make an
outline of the posts on the floor at each location using the post base plates
as a template. · Double check all dimensions and make sure that the layout is
perfectly square.
Step 2 (Installing Columns Item #3)
· Determine the side that the power unit column will be located. The power
unit column can be located on either side. Keep in mind this is the column
where your main electrical power supply will be connected. It is recommended
to locate the power side with the passenger side of the vehicle when loaded on
the lift in order to save steps during operation. · Double check measurements
and make sure that the base plate of each column is square and aligned with
the chalk line. · Stand up the power unit column (the one with the power unit
bracket welded on) and position it inside the chalked lines. The column should
face straight toward the other column. · Stand up the other column opposite to
the main power unit column inside the chalk lines. · Make sure the height
difference of two columns is within 1 inch, otherwise the carriages will not
be locked at the same (height) locking positions. · Place the floor plate
between two columns and align the mounting holes with the inside base plate
holes. This will make sure proper spacing between columns. · Please note the
floor plate is not bolted to columns or ground.
· Using a tape to measure from back corner to back corner of the base plate to
ensure columns are square to each other. Adjust columns as needed to obtain
the best fit.
· Drill holes with 3/4-inch drill bit into concrete following Anchoring Tips
on
page 4. · Assemble washers and nuts on the anchors (Item #18) and then tap
into each hole with a rubber hammer until the washers rest against the base
plate. Do not tighten anchor bolts at this time. · Use a level to check the
level of each base plate. Place horseshoe shims under the base plate (near
anchor bolts) as needed. When base plates are leveled, columns may tilt
outward slightly. When a vehicle is loaded, the columns will flex inward to
correct it. · Tighten 10 anchor bolts and recheck for level. Hammer the anchor
bolts all the way down. Tighten anchor bolts using a torque wrench to 125 ft.
/ lb. DO NOT use an impact wrench when tightening the anchor bolts! · Take
floor plate (Item #1). Remove the steel floor plate cover by unbolting screws.
· Manually lift the carriage on each column about waist high. Let carriages
down and allow them to set on safety latch stops. Make sure they are at the
same height. Double check the latches before working under the carriages.
Step 3 (Installing Overhead Beam)
· Assemble the overhead beam by connecting two short beam pieces and the
connector (Item #1) with bolts (Item #2). · Bolt the overhead beam to two
columns with bolts (Item #3). Make sure to install the bolts from inside the
beam to avoid interference with the cables when operating the lift.
Step 4 (Installing Equalizing Cables)
· Raise carriages on both sides approximately 800mm above the ground. · Make
sure that the safety locks on each column are fully engaged before attempting
to route the cables. · Carriages must have the same height from the floor
before proceeding. · Fit the cables as shown in the diagram. · The cables
should be so adjusted that the safety mechanism engages simultaneously when
lifting. · The cables must be secured and lubricated.
Step 5 (Installing Power Unit and Routing Hydraulic Hoses)
· Mount the power unit (Item #16) onto the main side column with hex bolts
(Item #17). · Connect two 4 1/4″ fittings (Item #20) to both cylinders.
Connect T-fitting (Item #21) to the power unit. · Connect the power unit and
the cylinder in the power unit post with the short hydraulic hose (Item #19).
Run the long hydraulic hose (Item #18) over the overhead beam. Connect the
power unit and the cylinder in the post with the long hose. · See figures
below for hose layout and routing to the power unit. Do not over tighten the
fittings.
Step 6 (Installing Swing Arms)
· Locate the 4 swing arms (Item #11) and swing arm pins (Item #12). Take one
of the arms and insert it over the hole in the carriage torsion tube. Line up
the holes and insert the pin. Repeat for the three other arms. · We recommend
putting 3-stage arms (shorter ones) on the front and putting 2-stage arms
(longer ones) on the back.
Step 7 (Electrical Connection to Power Unit) · Warning: The wiring must comply
with local code. Please find a
certified electrician to connect the power unit to a 220V power outlet. Please
protect each circuit with a time delay fuse or circuit breaker. · The car lift
uses a 220V single phase power unit. The running amperage is 10A. Recommend a
30A breaker and a 10-gauge wire. · For 220V single split phase with two hot
wires: wire brown to hot 1 wire blue to hot 2 wire yellow/green to ground ·
For 220V power with one hot and one neutral wires: wire brown to hot wire blue
to neutral wire yellow/green to ground
Step 8 (Hydraulic Fluid and Adjustment)
Cable Adjustment
· Place a pair of small or medium vise grips around the shoulder of the long
threaded adjusting bolt on the cable to make any adjustments. · Use a deep
socket to adjust the slack out of the cable. Adjust tension to cables
equality. · DO NOT over tighten. Note: If one of the cables is tighter than
the other, the carriage will go up uneven. These should be tightened like a
banjo string or fan belt.
Hydraulic Fluid
· Remove vent plug from the top of the reservoir. You are going to fill the
tank with fluid. AW 32 or 46 hydraulic oil is recommended. We do not recommend
the transmission fluid as it is too thin. The unit will hold approximately
2.64 gallons (10 liters) of fluid. · If the arms go all the way to the top,
hydraulic oil will flow to two cylinders. If the arms go all the way to the
bottom, hydraulic oil will flow back to the pump.
Carriage Adjustment and Synchronization
· One of the most important things to remember is not to tighten down one side
more than the other. The key is to tighten one side a half dozen turns then
the opposite side a half dozen turns. After getting both cables equally tight
(YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO MOVE THE CABLES ABOUT AN INCH BACK AND FORTH WITH
SLIGHT PRESSURE LIKE A FAN BELT OR A BANJO STRING) raise the lift all the way
up by pressing the UP Button on the power unit. Do not bottom the lift out at
the top by holding down on the switch. · Raise the lift off the latch (lock)
by pushing the power button, this will enable you to pull each release cable
ring located at the bottom of both carriages. Pull down on the lowering valve
handle (lever) on the power unit and lower the lift all the way to the floor.
Raise the lift again and listen for the clicking of the safety locks in each
column. Determine which side is slower and tighten the adjusting bolt on the
opposite side carriage. Remember to only tighten a few turns at a time until
the both locks click at the same time when raising the lift. Cycle the lift up
and down. Repeat the adjustment until the carriages are within a 1/4″ of each
other or the clicks are almost at the same time with each side. When cables
are adjusted properly, they should be fairly tight.
Safety Latch Adjustment
· If the safety latch in either column does not operate, adjust with the
procedure below. DO NOT set the lift on the safety latch for this adjustment.
Allow the hydraulic system to hold the lift during the adjustment. DO NOT put
a vehicle on the lift Remove the plastic cover. Raise the lift until you can
see the latch through the access hole on the column.
Locate the latch If the latch is not working during descent, loosen the
adjustment bolt one full turn. Test the latch and follow this procedure until
the latch operates. If the latch is not working during ascent, tighten the
adjustment bolt one full turn. Test the latch and follow this procedure until
the latch operates.
Step 9 (Installing Safety Bar)
· Mount safety bar (Item #4) to the overhead beam Mount switch bracket (Item
5) at the power unit side with bolts (Item #28) so that limit switch can be
mounted and connected to the power unit
Mount the other end of the safety bar with a long bolt (Item #6)
· See the figures below for the reference.
Step 10 Installing Limit Switch (Item #7)
· Connect the limit switch wire with reference to the figure below.
Diagram of the electric system
Step 11 (Final Setup)
Mount The Floor Plate Cover with socket head cap screws
(Item #2) Check Assembly
· Check all bolts and nuts to make sure they are tight. Do not use an impact
gun on concrete Anchors. · Check all fittings or leaks. If necessary, make
sure the arm lock restraints are engaging properly and smoothly. If not, tap
the main lock forward or backward as needed with a rubber mallet to insure
proper engagement on all 4 gears with the arm restraint locks. · Cycle lift up
and down to insure carriages are synchronized.
Screw-In Pads and Truck Adapters
· Adjust the height of screw-in pads (Item #16) to fit the vehicle. · Use
truck adapters (Item #15) if needed. Please remove the snap rings from the
screw-in pads before using the truck adapters. · Never exceed 9″ of pad
height.
Toe Guards, Tool Trays, and Door
Guards
· Toe guards and tool trays (Items #6, #7 (preinstalled), and #8) may be
installed on the side of 2-stage arms. · Mount door guards (black protection
rubber, Item #19) on the carriages with bolts (Item#20).
Test & Adjust Lift
· With the power properly hooked up and hydraulic oil in the pump reservoir,
push the push button on the side of the Motor to raise the carriages off the
locks. Release the push button and then pull the lock release cable under each
carriage to release the locks. Run the lift all the way up and down two more
times to bleed all the air from the system. · While running the lift, listen
to safeties clicking. Each side should click simultaneously or with-in a 1/2
second of each other. If they are not clicking together, then adjust the
cables to compensate by tightening the side opposite the one that is clicking
last at the cable bolt at the top of the carriage on the same side. · Remember
not to over tighten cables they should be firm, much like a banjo string or
a fan belt in a car.
Bleed Air from Cylinders
· Place a vehicle on the lift and raise until swivel pads are in contact with
the frame of the vehicle. Raise the vehicle about 3 feet and then lower the
vehicle until the tires touch the floor. Keep raising and lowering the vehicle
a few times and increase the height each time until the vehicle completely
reaches to the top. This procedure pumps all the air from the system. ·
Lifting speed will be faster (be normal speed) after air is bled out.
Operation
Only authorized personnel can operate the lift. Please
read operating and safety procedures carefully before
operating the lift.
· Maintain and inspect lift in accordance with the owner’s manual. Never
exceed the capacity. · Do not operate a lift that is damaged or in need of
repair. · Allow only authorized persons in the lift area. · Keep the lift area
clear when raising or lowering the lift. NO RIDERS. · Keep hands and feet away
from pinch points at all times. · Never override the lift’s operating and
safety controls. · If a vehicle is suspected of falling, clear the area
immediately. · Do not rock the vehicle while positioned on the lift.
· Always use safety jack stands when installing or
removing parts from a vehicle.
Vehicle Loading
· Position vehicle at the center of gravity between the pads. Make sure the
vehicle is neither front or rear heavy. · Place pads at vehicle manufacturer’s
recommended pick-up points. Make sure the pads are in proper and safe
positions to support the vehicle. · Use caution before lifting pickup trucks,
SUVs and other framed vehicles. · Use truck adapters as needed. Never exceed
9″ of pad height.
Raising Lift
· Push up switch to raise lift (make sure arm restraints engage or stop and
slightly move arm to allow gear to mesh) until tires clear the floor. · Stop
and check for secure contact on adapters and vehicle weight distribution. If
secure, raise to your desired height. · ALWAYS lower the lift into the nearest
lock position by pressing the lower lever to relieve the hydraulic pressure
and then let the latch set in a lock position. · Never work under a lift when
the lift is not in a locked position.
Lowering Lift
· Clear all obstacles under the lift to ensure that only the operator is near
the lift area. · Stay clear of lift and raise the lift off the safety locks by
2″. · Pull the safety latch which releases the cable ring one by one on each
carriage and
press the lower lever to lower the lift.
· Unload the lift by first completely lowering the lift and then swinging the
arms to drive through position before moving the vehicle.

The following periodic maintenance schedule is the minimum requirements at the
minimum intervals. Periodic maintenance is to be performed on a daily, weekly,
and yearly basis. WARNING!! OSHA AND ANSI REQUIRE USERS TO INSPECT LIFTING
EQUIPMENT AT THE START OF EVERY SHIFT. THESE AND OTHER PERIODIC INSPECTIONS
ARE THE USER’S RESPONSIBILITY. FAILURE TO HEED THIS WARNING CAN RESULT IN
PROPERTY DAMAGE, SERIOUS INJURY, OR DEATH. IF YOU HEAR A NOISE NOT ASSOCIATED
WITH NORMAL LIFT OPERATION OR IF THERE ARE ANY INDICATIONS OF IMPENDING LIFT
FAILURE, CEASE OPERATION IMMEDIATELY! INSPECT, CORRECT, AND/OR REPLACE PARTS
AS NEEDED.
Daily Pre-Operation Check (8-Hours)
1. Check the safety lock audibly and visually while in operation 2. Check the
safety latches for free movement and full engagement with the rack. 3. Check
the hydraulic connections, and hoses for leakage. 4. Check the chain
connection: cracks, bent, and loose links. 5. Check the cable connection:
cracks, bent, and looseness. 6. Check for frayed cables in both raised and
lowered positions. 7. Check snap rings at all rollers and sheaves. 8. Check
the bolts, nuts, and screws and tighten if needed. 9. Check the wiring &
switches for damage. 10.Keep the base plate free of dirt, grease or any other
corrosive substances. 11.Check the floor for stress cracks near anchor bolts.
12.Check the swing arm restraints.
Weekly Maintenance (every 40-Hours)
1. Check the anchor bolts torque to 125 ft/lbs. for the 3/4-inch anchor
bolts. Do not use an impact wrench to tighten the anchor bolts. 2. Check the
floor for stress cracks near anchor bolts. 3. Check the hydraulic oil level.
4. Check and tighten the bolts, nuts, and screws. 5. Check the cylinder pulley

pin. 6. Check the cable pulley for free movement and excessive wear.
Yearly Maintenance
1. Lubricate the chains 2. Grease the rub blocks and column surface
contacting the rub blocks 3. Change the hydraulic fluid. It is an important
maintenance procedure to keep the hydraulic fluid clean. No hard fast rules
though. Operating temperature, type of service, contamination levels,
filtration, and chemical composition of the fluid
should be considered. If operating in a dusty environment a shorter interval
may be required.
Special Maintenance Tasks (performed by a trained
maintenance expert only)
· Replace the hydraulic hoses. · Replace the chains and rollers. · Replace the cables and sheaves. · Replace or rebuild the cylinders. · Replace or rebuild the pumps / motors. · Checking of hydraulic cylinder rod and rod end (threads) for deformation or damage.
CAUTION! Relocating or changing components may cause problems. Each
component in the system must be compatible. An undersized or restricted line may cause a drop in pressure. All valve, pump, and hose connections should be sealed and/or capped 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 is cleanliness.
