10AP Series Two-Post Lifts 14 P/N 5900265 — Rev. A10 — September 2023
Reviewing the Installation Orientation
Keep these factors in mind when deciding how to orient the Lift:
• The first thing to figure out is which direction you will be driving the Vehicles in, called the
Approach.
o In most cases, this is simple: there’s a driveway on one side and a wall on the other side.
The driveway is your Approach. This makes the wall side the Front of the Lift and the
driveway side the Rear of the Lift.
o If both sides are open, decide which way you will be driving Vehicles onto the Lift. This is
the Approach; the drive-on side is the Rear of the Lift and the drive-off side if the Front.
• While the Power Unit must be installed on the Powerside Post, that Powerside Post may be
mounted on either side of the Lift. You can identify the Powerside Post by the Mounting Bracket to
which the Power Unit attaches. Refer to the figures below.
