ASSEMBLY VIEW

1. STEP 1 (Selecting Site): before installing your new lift, check the following.
   • LIFT LOCATION: Always use architects’ plans when available. Check layout dimensions against floor plan requirements making sure that adequate space is available.
   • OVERHEAD OBSTRUCTIONS: The area where the lift will be located should be free of overhead obstructions such as heaters, building supports, electrical lines, etc.
   • DEFECTIVE FLOOR: Visually inspect the site where the lift is to be installed and check for cracked or defective concrete.
   • DO NOT install or use this lift on any asphalt surface or any surface other than concrete.
   • DO NOT install or use this lift on expansion seams or cracked or defective concrete.
   • DO NOT install or use this lift on a second /elevated floor without first consulting the building architect.
   • DO NOT install or use this lift outdoors unless special consideration has been made to protect the power unit from weather conditions.
2. STEP 2 (Floor Requirements): this lift must be installed on a solid-level concrete floor with no more than 3 degrees of slope. Failure to do so could cause personal injury or death.
3. STEP 3 (Install inside 4 post car parking units):
4. Locate the 4 columns (short columns) at their respective locations according to the chalk line layout. Pay attention to the power unit location. DO NOT BOLT columns down at this time. Use caution to prevent columns from falling over.
5. To estimate the shim requirements, place a target on the floor at each Column position and record the readings. Find the highest of the four locations then find the difference between each of the remaining columns. This difference is the estimated amount of shim thickness that will be required at each column.
6. Lay the columns down, slide the cross tubes into the columns (making sure the polyethylene sliding blocks are still in position), and drop down to the top of the columns. The large cut-out holes should be positioned inward following the diagram.
7. Install the Safety Ladders. Pass the ladders through the Column opening and drop down through the polyethylene sliding blocks guide slots on the Cross Tube until the Ladders come to rest on the Base Plates.

  * Thread the jam nut to the Ladder. Install the column Top Caps using M18 x175 Hex Bolts, nuts &washers. Turn the Top Nut on each Safety ladder until the jam nut is touching the Ladder and the top Cap.
5. Tilt up the Column and Cross Tube assemblies, lining the base plates up with the chalk lines made earlier. 
6. The columns and cross bars will now be in position and spaced properly for the runways.

4. STEP 4(Anchoring the Columns)
5. Before proceeding, double-check the measurements and make certain that the bases of each column are square and aligned with the chalk line.
6. Using the base plate on each column as a guide, drill each anchor hole approximately 150 mm deep using a rotary hammer drill and 18 mm concrete bit.
7. After drilling, remove dust thoroughly from each hole using compressed air and/or a wire brush. Make certain that the columns remain aligned with the chalk line. Always wear safety gloves.
8. Assemble the washers and nuts on the anchors then tap into each hole with a hammer until the washer rests against the base plate. Be sure that if shimming is required, enough threads are left exposed.
9. If shimming is required, insert the shims as necessary under the base plate so that when the anchor bolts are tightened, the columns will be plumb.
10. STEP 5 (Raising the Cross Tubes) :
11. Before proceeding it will be necessary to first raise the Cross Tubes off the ground to facilitate Cable routing and final assembly.

  *  **DANGER:** Be careful not to disturb the Columns and Cross Tubes as they may tip over causing personal injury or harm
  *  **IMPORTANT NOTE:** It is important that the SLACK SAFETY LOCK IS CLEARED. The Slack Safety Lock must never rest on the Safety Ladder.
2. Manually raising the Cross Tubes until the Primary Safety Locks engage and rest on the lock position second down from the top of the Ladder or approximately 1.5 m off the ground. The SLACK SAFETY LOCK must be CLEARED. The Slack Safety Lock must never rest on the Safety Ladder. To present this, manually hold the Slack Safety in the disengaged position while lowering the Cross Tube ends.
3. The Columns and Cross Tubes will now be in position and spaced properly for the Runways.

6. STEP 6 (Install outside 4 post car parking units):
   • Repeat steps 3, 4 & 5 considering that the outside unit has 4 tall columns and 2 longer runways.
7. STEP 7-1 (Inside Unit Runway Installation):
8. Locate the runway with the cylinder attached underneath. This runway will be located right side, adjacent to the column with the power unit bracket attached. This runway is called Cylinder Runway.
9. We preinstalled the hydraulic cylinder head at the front side of the runway structure through rod & split pin.
10. We preinstalled the “cables block” on the piston of the cylinder using an M 24 nut.
11. Position the holes on the side of the runway at the right side near the power unit location. These holes are used to pass the oil hoses through them to connect the cylinder to the hydraulic power unit.
12. Line up the front of the Cylinder Runway with the front cross beam holes then bolt in position using M14x100 hex bolts, nuts, and lock washers.
13. Position the auxiliary runway (left side) on top of the front & rear cross beams. Line up the bolt holes then bolt in position using the M14x100 hex bolts, nuts, and lock washers.
14. STEP 7-2 (Outside Unit Runway Installation):
15. Locate the runway with the cylinder attached underneath. This runway will be located right side of the unit. This runway is called Cylinder Runway.
16. We preinstalled the hydraulic cylinder head at the front side of the runway structure through rod & split pin. This runway is called Cylinder Runway.
17. We preinstalled the “sheaves cables block” on the piston of the cylinder using the M 28 nut.
18. Position the holes on the side of the runway at the right side. These holes are used to pass the oil hoses through them to connect the cylinder to the hydraulic power unit.
19. Line up the front of the Cylinder Runway with the front cross beam holes then bolt in position using M14x100 hex bolts, nuts, and lock washers.
20. Position the auxiliary runway (left side) on top of the front & rear cross beams. Line up the bolt holes then bolt in position using the M14x100 hex bolts, nuts, and lock washers.
21. STEP 8 (Cable Installation):
    • Be careful not to damage the chrome cylinder rod during this operation.
    • Inspect cables to ensure proper lengths. All cables should have ID tags showing proper cable lengths and path no to columns 1, 2, 3 &4.
    • Inside unit Cables
    1. To install the cables it is necessary to first extend the hydraulic cylinder. Remove both cylinder port plugs then use an air blow gun to extend the cylinder.
    2. Install cables to each post as below the pictures & diagram and fix the cable with M16 nuts.
    • CAUTION! You MUST install TWO nuts at the end of each cable. The second nut (double-nut) is used to secure the main nut. Be sure to tighten both nuts securely together to prevent the main nut from loosening. Tighten until there is at least 1/4” of threads through the end of the double-nut nut. The cables will remain loose until start up.
    • Outside Unit Cables
    1. To install the cables it is necessary to first extend the hydraulic cylinder. Remove both cylinder port plugs then use an air blow gun to extend the cylinder.
    2. Install cables to each post as per pictures & diagram and fix cable with M16 nuts.
22. STEP 9 (Electric parts Installation):
23. Fix 2 ea operation boxes to the front right side column of the outside unit (tall column).
24. Put 1st electric panel on the bracket, back of the front column (short column – inside unit).
25. Put the 2nd electric panel in its compartment on the back of the upper runways (longer ones).
26. Mount 1 ea electromagnetic lock at every end of the cross beam (near lock ladder).
27. Fix the 1 ea limit switch on the main post (front right side column) for both short and 1 ea for tall columns and connect them with the operation boxes by electric spiral cables respectively.
28. Follow the wiring diagrams to connect all cables among the hydraulic power unit, limit switch & electromagnetic locks with operation box and electric panel for each unit.
29. STEP 10 (Hydraulic Power Unit and Routing Hydraulic Hoses): We preinstalled the hydraulic cylinder under the Cylinder Runway of each unit before delivery. It will be necessary to remove shipping plugs from the port before installing fittings.
30. Mount 1 ea hydraulic power unit on the bracket, back of front column (short column – inside unit) using the M10 x 30 hex bolts and nuts.
31. Fill the reservoir with 12 liters of 10-WT hydraulic oil or automatic transmission fluid.
32. Install the 90º hydraulic fittings to the POWER PORT of the power unit and connect the oil hoses as described below.
33. Install the hose at the outside of the main RUNWAY adjacent to the power unit. Tighten securely.
34. The 90º fitting at the cylinder port had been pre-installed before delivery. Check if it is loose or if there is oil leakage during transportation, it is recommended to use Teflon tape or pipe sealer on the pipe thread side of the fittings. DON’T USE TEFLON TAPE on the JIC flared end.
35. Connect hydraulic hoses as shown below making sure to first pass through the retaining rings located on the underside of the runway. MAKE SURE HOSES ARE KEPT CLEAR OF CABLES.
36. STEP 11 (Power-Unit Start-Up):
    • Have a certified electrician run a 240-volt single-phase 50 HZ power supply to the motor
    • DANGER: RISK OF EXPLOSION!
    • This equipment has internal arcing or parts that may spark and should not be exposed to flammable vapors.
    • The motor should not be located in a recessed area or below floor level.
    • NEVER expose the motor to rain or other damp environments. DAMAGE TO MOTOR CAUSED BY WATER IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.
    • IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT USE 110 VOLT POWER SUPPLY for this power unit. Damage to the motor will occur which is not covered under warranty. You must use a separate circuit breaker for each lift.
37. STEP 12 (Lift Start Up):
38. Make sure the power unit reservoir is full with 12 L of 10-WT hydraulic oil.
39. Spray the inside of the columns where the slide blocks glide with a light lubricant or WD-40.
40. Test the power unit by depressing the push-button switch. If the motor sounds like it is operating properly, raise the lift and check all hose connections for leaks. IF THE MOTOR GETS HOT OR SOUNDS PECULIAR, STOP IMMEDIATELY AND RE-CHECK ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS.
41. Continue raising the lift slowly until all the slack in the cables is taken out. RAISE THE LIFT UNTIL THE CYLINDER BOTTOMS OUT AND THE LIFT STOPS. ADJUST EACH CABLE SO THAT THE SAFETY LOCKS REST ABOVE THE TOP SAFETY LOCK POSITION. It may be necessary to tighten or loosen each cable to reach the proper height. The cable nuts MUST be tightened on each end until there are at least 1/4” of threads through the end of the nut.
42. STEP 13 (Installing Slack Safety Springs):
    • DANGER: The following steps involve the SLACK CABLE SAFETY DEVICE and MAIN SAFETY. Failure to follow these steps could result in serious injury or death in the event of cable failure.
    1. Install the SLACK SAFETY LOCK SPRINGS on the REAR CROSS TUBE as shown. Make sure spring ends are secure at both ends.
    2. Check all MAIN SAFETY LOCKS to make sure they move freely and spring back to the lock position when released.
    3. Lubricate all SAFETY PIVOT points with WD-40 or equal.
43. STEP 14 (Final Assembly): Tighten the cable adjusting nuts on the top of each column and at the cylinder flange until all remaining safety locks raise to one inch above the top lock position. This will ensure that the cables are adjusted evenly.
    • WARNING: The cable nuts MUST be tightened on each end until there are at least 1/4” of threads through the end of the nut. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death.
    • Notes:
    1. There will be some initial stretching of the cables in the beginning. It will be necessary to re-adjust the cables a week after first use, then every three to six months thereafter.
    2. Run the lift up and down a few times to ensure that the locks are engaging uniformly and that the safety release mechanisms are functioning properly. Re-adjust if necessary.
    3. Install the tire stoppers on the outside unit runways ONLY.
    4. Install the approach ramps on the front side of the lift. Drive a vehicle onto the lift making sure to set the emergency before exiting the vehicle.
    5. Run the lift up and down two times with a vehicle to ensure that the locks are engaging uniformly and that the safety release mechanisms are functioning properly. Re-adjust if necessary.
