10AP Series Two-Post Lifts 46 P/N 5900265 — Rev. A10 — September 2023
Installing the Lift Arms
Lift Arms are what raise Vehicles off the ground. Your Lift comes with four Lift Arms. Lift Arms come
uninstalled.
Install the Arms as detailed in the figure below.
The first task is to determine the Front and Rear of the Lift:
• If you can only drive in one way. The approach side is the Rear, the other side is the Front.
• If you can drive in either way. Choose one side as the Front and the other side as the Rear.
The best way to make this decision is to pick one approach direction for the Vehicles you will be
putting on the Lift, even though you can drive in either way. Also consider the ease of backing out
of from your chosen approach. Once the decision is made, you approach the Lift from the Rear, so
the other side is the Front.
The second task is whether the Lift Arm is a ‘right’ or a ‘left’. This is determined separately per Post.
To determine right and left, stand between the two Posts, then turn to face one of them straight on.
From this viewpoint, the right side of the Post is the ‘right’ and the left side of the Post is the ‘left’.
After finishing the first Post, repeat the process for the second Post.
