FLOOR REQUIREMENTS:
Visually inspect the site where the lift is to be installed and check for
cracked or defective concrete. This lift must be installed on a solid level
concrete floor with no more than 2 degrees of slope. A level floor is
suggested for proper installation and level lifting. If a floor is of
questionable slope, consider a survey of the site and/or the possibility of
pouring a new level concrete slab. This lift is designed to be installed on a
minimum of 4-1/4” thick, 3000psi, with steel reinforced concrete. Do not
install this lift on asphalt, wood, or any other surface other than described.
This lift is only as strong as the foundation on which it is installed.
DO NOT install this lift outdoors unless special consideration has been
made to protect the power unit from weather conditions. The Power unit is
not waterproof!
DO NOT install lift close to wall. It is necessary to leave adequate
clearance for safely walking. Suggested clearance to be 1 meter (3 feet)
minimum to side wall and 1.6 meters (5 feet) in front.

operating ambient temperature range of 41º-104ºF (5º-40ºC).
MAIN COMPONENTS IDENTIFICATION
OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES :
· RAJ-6K-L Rolling Scissor Air Jack, 6000 lbs. Cap. – Low Profile
STEP 1: (Installing the Columns to Crossbeams)
-
Before proceeding, double check measurements and make certain that the bases of each column are square and aligned with the chalk line.
-
Locate the columns at their respective locations according to the chalk line layout (Fig. 3). Pay attention to the power-side column. It has the pump mounting bracket. Also, note the hole positions on the column top (Fig. 5). DO NOT anchor down columns at this time. Use caution to prevent columns from falling
-
Unbolt the safety rack at the bottom inside the column (Fig. 6).
-
Insert the end of cross beam into every column (Fig. 7). Ensure that the end with lock release handle of front crossbeam is inside the motor pump column. Handle faces out to front. The rear crossbeam should be placed as a mirror image of the power-side one. (The side with a small bar-link ends face each other.)
-
Insert the safety rack into the crossbeam end as shown in (Fig. 8).
-
Hold down the safety rack, then raise up the all the crossbeam ends to rest on the first (lowest) position (Fig. 9).
-
Tighten up the bolt of every safety rack at the bottom of each column. (Fig. 10)
-
Connecting the long linkage rod of the manual safety lock release system between cross beams. (Figs. 11 & 12)
-
Again, check the positions of the columns according to the drawings. The diagonal distance between the opposite, inside base plate corners of the columns should be within 1/4”. Equal values will ensure the runways will be in parallel and in square.
STEP 2 : (Mounting Runways)
-
Put the sub runway on the cross beams at the right Be sure that the jack rail for optional rolling jack is positioned to the inside of lift. (Fig. 13)
-
Using bolts provided, bolt back-end of the sub runway to cross beam (Fig. 13). The other end remains free.
-
Before locating the main-side runway on the crossbeams, pull out the steel cables from underneath and lay them over the pulleys (Fig. 14). Note: The shortest cable is for the power unit column & longest cable is for the opposite side
Note: If Cable(s) comes off the Cable Sheave, it will be required to remove the Cable Sheave assembly to reinstall the Cable, due to welded cable guide brackets. -
Remove the stop plate and big pulley shaft on end of crossbeam (Fig. 15). Remove big pulley in order to let the steel cable’s threaded end route around pulley (Fig. 16). Then, reinstall big pulley and reattach the stop plate. Note: Ensure that the cable is properly routed to the inside of the small roller so that the ‘secondary’ Slack- Cable Latch is not engaged into safety ‘ladder’ rack. (Fig. 16)
-
Tighten all the bolts on the runways with supplied bolts, nuts, and spring washes to the crossbeams.
-
Bolt the threaded end of the cable to top of the column (Fig. 17). Do the same for other cables and column
STEP 3: (Mounting the Power Unit)
- Attach the power unit to the power unit column (w/ bracket) using bolts, nuts & washers supplied (Fig. 18).
- Fill the reservoir with hydraulic oil. Note: Make sure the funnel used to fill is clean. Suggestion: Use Non-Detergent / Non-Foaming Hydraulic Oil – SAE-10, AW 32 or equivalent.
- Install the 90 degree hydraulic fitting to the high pressure port on the pump block. Connect the oil hose from the main-side runway to the motor pump (Fig. 19).
- Have a certified electrician to run the 220V/60Hz single phase AC power supply to the motor. Be sure to size the wire for a 25 amp circuit.
STEP 4: (Routing the CABLES)
- Check again that all the cables are properly routed around the pulleys for both the columns and underneath the main-side runway.
- Ensuring the current of the power supply is enough for the power unit, press the start button on the motor to raise the runways a little. Note: Make sure the crossbeam’s safety latches are not engaged into the safety ‘ladder’ racks.
- Using a level, screwing up or down of the nut of the cable on the column top one by one to make the crossbeam level. (Fig. 20) Also ensure the runways are level front to back as well.
STEP 5: (Mounting Wheel Stops, Approach Ramps & Caps)
- Mount wheel stops to front of runways. (Fig. 21)
- Try several times to make sure the safety lock manual release handle is working normally by raising up the runway so that latch not engaged.
- Route & secure hydraulic hose underneath main-side runway.
- Mount on the approaching ramps. (Fig. 22)
- Place plastic column caps on top of columns. (Fig. 23)
STEP 6: (First Cycle Lift Test)
- Do not place any vehicle on the lift at this time!
- Cycle the lift up and down several times to make sure latches are in sync by clicking together, and to also ensure all air is removed from the hydraulic system.
- Ensure columns are at their proper locations and square.
- To lower the lift, remember to release the safety lock manually first and pressure releasing handle of the pump is pressed.
STEP 7: (Anchoring & Leveling Again)
NOTE: Also Refer to ‘FOUNDATION and ANCHORING REQUIREMENTS’ Next Page
-
Using the base plate of the column as a guide, drill each anchor hole in the concrete approximately 5-1/2” deep using a rotary hammer drill and 3/4” concrete drill-bit. To assure full holding power, do not ream the hole or allow the drill to wobble. (Fig. 24)
-
After drilling, remove dust thoroughly from each hole using compressed air and/or wire brush. Make certain that the column remains aligned with the column remains aligned with the chalk line during this process.
-
Assemble the washers and nuts on the anchors then tap into each hole with a block of wood or rubber hammer until the washer rests against the base plate. Be sure that if shimming is required that enough threads are left exposed.
-
Using a level, check column plumb for every side (Fig. 25). If shimming is required, use 3/4” washers or shim stock, placing shims as close as possible to the hole locations. This will prevent bending the column base plates.
-
With the shims and anchor bolts in place, tighten by securing the nut to the base then turning 2-3 full turns clockwise. Note: DO NOT use an impact wrench for this procedure.
-
Using the lever again, check the front & rear crossbeams (Fig. 20) while the safety lock latches engaged in rack. If needed, loosen the bottom bolt of the safety ‘ladder’ rack. Turn the hex nut on the top of the column (Fig. 26) to raise or lower end of the crossbeam. After leveling, tighten all bolts.
NOTE: Ensure to lubricate ALL Cable Sheaves, Bearings and Shafts with grease prior to operating Lift.
FOUNDATION and ANCHORING REQUIREMENTS
-
Concrete shall have compression strength of at least 3,000 PSI and a minimum thickness of 4-1/4” in order to achieve a minimum anchor embedment of 3-1/4”. NOTE: When using the standard supplied 3/4” x 5-1/2” long anchors, if the top of the anchor exceeds 2-1/4” above the floor grade, you DO NOT have enough embedment.
-
Maintain a 6” minimum distance from any slab edge or seam. Hole to hole spacing should be a minimum 6-1/2” in any direction. Hole depth should be a minimum of 4-1/4”.
-
DO NOT install on asphalt or other similar unstable surface. Columns are supported only by anchoring to floor.
-
Using the horseshoe shims provided, shim each column base as required 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.
Torque anchors to 130 ft-lbs. Shim thickness MUST NOT exceed 1/2” when using the 5-1/2” long anchors provided with the lift. -
If anchors do not tighten to 130 ft-lbs. installation torque, replace the concrete under each column base with a 2’ x 2’ x 6” thick 3,000 PSI minimum concrete pad keyed under and flush with the top of existing floor. Allow concrete to cure before installing lifts and anchors (typically 2 to 3 weeks)
ANCHORING TIPS
- 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.
- Keep the drill in a perpendicular line while drilling.
- Let the drill do the work. Do not apply excessive pressure. Lift the drill up and down occasionally to remove residue to reduce binding.
- Drill the hole to depth of 2” deeper than the length of anchor. NOTE: Drilling thru concrete (recommended) will allow the anchor to be driven thru the bottom of foundation if the threads are damaged or if the lift will need to be relocated.
- For better holding power blow dust from the hole.
- Place a flat washer and hex nut over threaded end of anchor, leaving the nut almost flush with the top of the anchor bolt. Carefully tap anchor into hole. Do not damage threads. Tap anchor into the concrete until nut and flat washer are against base plate. Do not use an impact wrench to tighten! Tighten the nut, two or three turns on average after the concrete has cured (28-day cure). If the concrete is very hard only one or two turns may be

Limited One-Year Warranty:
Tuxedo Distributors, LLC (Tuxedo) offers a limited one-year warranty to the original purchaser of Lifts and Wheel Service equipment in the United States and Canada. Tuxedo will replace, without charge, any part found defective in materials or workmanship under normal use, for a period of one year after purchase. The purchaser is responsible for all shipping charges. This warranty does not apply to equipment that has been improperly installed or altered or that has not been operated or maintained according to specifications.
Other Limitations:
This warranty does not cover:
- Parts needed for normal maintenance
- Wear parts, including but not limited to cables, slider blocks, chains, rubber pads and pulleys
- Replacement of lift and tire changer cylinders after the first 30 A seal kit and installation instructions will be sent for repairs thereafter.
- On-site labor
Upon receipt, the customer must visually inspect the equipment for any
potential freight damage before signing clear on the shipping receipt. Freight
damage is not considered a warranty issue and therefore must be noted for any
potential recovery with the shipping company.
The customer is required to notify Tuxedo of any missing parts within 72
hours. Timely notification must be received to be covered under warranty.
Tuxedo will replace any defective part under warranty at no charge as soon as
such parts become available from the manufacturer. No guarantee is given as to
the immediate availability of replacement parts.
Tuxedo reserves the right to make improvements and/or design changes to its
lifts without any obligation to previously sold, assembled or fabricated
equipment.
There is no other express warranty on the Tuxedo lifts and this warranty is
exclusive of and in lieu of all other warranties, expressed or implied,
including all warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular
purpose.
To the fullest extent allowed by law, Tuxedo shall not be liable for loss of
use, cost of cover, lost profits, inconvenience, lost time, commercial loss or
other incidental or consequential damages.
This Limited Warranty is granted to the original purchaser only and is not
transferable or assignable.
Some states do not allow exclusion or limitation of consequential damages or
how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations and exclusions
may not apply. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may have
other rights, which may vary from state to state.
