10AP Series Two-Post Lifts 50 P/N 5900265 — Rev. A10 — September 2023
Leveling
Before operating your Lift, you need to make sure the Lift Posts are straight, and the Lift Arms are
level:
• Lift Posts: The Posts must be the same distance apart at the top and at the bottom.
To make sure the Posts are straight, measure the distance between the two Posts six inches
below the Overhead Assembly and one foot off the ground (you will need to move the Lift Arms out
of the way). The two measurements (A and B in the drawing below) must be the same.
If the Posts are not straight, shim them as required.
⚠ CAUTION If your Lift Posts are not straight or your Lift Arms are not level, this is a safety risk.
The Vehicles you put on the Lift will be less secure; they could fall and cause injuries
or damage to the Vehicle or to the Lift.
• Lift Arms: When the Lift Posts are straight, make sure the Lift Arms are level. Raise the arms to
the first locking position and put a level across the Pads.
Adjust the Equalizing Cables. Determine which Lift Arm is low, then adjust the Nut on the bottom of
the Threaded End of the Equalizing Cable until the Lift Arms are level. When you believe the Lift
Arms to be level, raise the Lift and listen for the Lift Heads hitting the Safety Locks (there is a
distinct thump). You want the thumps to be simultaneous or close to it.
NOTICE If you have not yet torqued the Anchors you can torque them to specification (85 –
95 ft lb.) once you have completed final leveling.
