This is a vehicle lift installation/operation manual and no attempt is made or implied herein to instruct the user in lifting methods particular to an individual application. Rather, the contents of this manual are intended as a basis for operation and maintenance of the unit as it stands alone or as it is intended and anticipated to be used in conjunction with other equipment.
TOOLS REQUIRED • • • • • • Set of metric wrenches and/or sockets Adjustable wrench Locking pliers 25’ Tape measure Step Ladder *3 Gallons of Hydraulic Oil *Recommended Oil: ISO 32 Light Hydraulic Oil INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 1. Remove plastic wrap from top runway and remove all hardware. This includes the Power Unit, Drip Trays, Tool Box and / or any Jacks. Note: You should find this manual either in the top of the runway or inside the Power Unit box. 2.
Then the entire end structure (two columns and crossbeam) will need to be stood up as one. Unpack the Lock Ladders (Item # 38) Figure # 2 from the package and slide them into the precut slot on the Rub Blocks (Item # 50) Figure #1 inside each column. After removing the top nut from the lock ladder you are ready to install the Top Caps A&B (Items # 44 & 94) Figures # 2 & 6 on the columns. 8. Be aware of the offset hole in column Top Caps.
lift to adjust for leveling. Each post has this adjustment. Adjust the proper columns to level the lift. Place level on each runway and crossbeam and check for proper levelness. NOTE: YOU MAY HAVE TO LOOSEN THE NUT UNDER TOP PLATE TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS. 20. After leveling is complete, tighten the Nut on the Lock Rod underneath the Top Cap on each post. This will lock the Lock Ladder in position. 21. Raise lift off all locks until cables are supporting the lift.
CASTER KIT INSTALLATION 1. Raise the Lift two to four feet high 2. Position each of the four Caster assemblies below the Crossbeam rails as shown on page 21 Figure # 6 and in below diagram. 3. Install the four Pivot pins and Cotter pins to secure assembly to each column as shown below. 4. Lower the Lift confirming that the Caster assemblies engage the Crossbeam rails and the four Columns rise to clear the floor.
2. Maintain a 6” minimum distance from any slab edge or seam. Hole to hole spacing should be a minimum 6 ½” in any direction. Hole depth should be a minimum of 4”. 3. 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 85 ft-lbs. Shim thickness MUST NOT exceed ½” when using the 5 ½” long anchors with the lift.
4. Drill the hole to depth equal to the length of anchor. Note: Drilling thru concrete (recommended) will al low the anchor to be driven thru the bottom of foundation if the threads are damaged or if the lift will need to be relocated. 5. For better holding power blow dust from the hole. 6. Place a flat washer and hex nut over threaded end of anchor, leaving approximately ½ inch of thread exposed carefully tap anchor. Do not damage threads.
• Pull safety latch releases and press the lower lever to begin descent.
• Ensure lift is fully lowered, and having another person guide you, carefully unload the lift by driving off of the lift runways. CAUTION PAY ATTENTION TO THE LOWERING SPEED OF ALL FOUR CORNERS. MAKE SURE THEY ARE MOVING DOWN AT THE SAME SPEED. STOP LOWERING THE LIFT BY RELEASING THE LOWERING LEVER ON THE POWER UNIT AND MOVING THE LOCK LEVER TO THE LOCK POSITION IF ANY CORNER STOPS MOVING OR IS SLOWER IN DESCENT. ALWAYS LOCK THE LIFT BEFORE GOING UNDER THE VEHICLE.
This procedure establishes the minimum requirements for the lockout of energy that could cause injury to personnel by the operation of lifts in need of repair or being serviced. All employees shall comply with this procedure. Responsibility The responsibility for assuring that this procedure is followed is binding upon all employees and service personnel from outside service companies (i.e., Authorized Installers, contactors, etc.).
Lift is not intended for outdoor use and has an operating ambient temperature range of 41º-104ºF (5º-40ºC). IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS When using your garage equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. Read all instructions Care must be taken as burns can occur from touching hot parts.
CAUTION NOTE !! LUBRICATE ALL CABLE SHEAVES, BEARINGS, AND SHAFTS WITH GREASE PRIOR TO OPERATING THE LIFT. LUBRICATE ALL ON AN ANNUAL BASIS. Motors and all electrical components are not sealed against the weather and moisture. Install this lift in a protected indoor location. Failure by the owner to provide the recommended shelter could result in unsatisfactory lift performance, property damage, or personal injury. Read and heed all WARNING, CAUTION and SAFETY INSTRUCTION labels on lift.
• • • • • • Check for frayed cables in both raised and lowered position. Check snap rings at all rollers and sheaves. Check bolts, nuts, and screws and tighten if needed. Check wiring & switches for damage. Check floor for stress cracks near columns. Check Lubrications on cable sheaves and shafts. Weekly Maintenance (every 40-Hours) • • • • • IF LIFT IS ANCHORED TO FLOOR - Check anchor bolts torque to 50 ft-lbs for the ¾ in. anchor bolts.
• • • Replacement or rebuilding air and hydraulic cylinders as required. Replacement or rebuilding pumps / motors as required. Checking of hydraulic cylinder rod and rod end (threads) for deformation or damage. CAUTION!! Relocating or changing components may cause problems. Each component in the system must be compatible; an undersized or restricted line will cause a drop in pressure. All valve, pump, and hose connections should be sealed and/or capped until just prior to use.
cal properties, precautionary measures to take, and first aid measures as stated in the Safety Summary before performing any maintenance with the hydraulic system. 4. Oil level too low. Oil level should be just under the vent cap port when the lift is down. Relieve all hydrau lic pressure and add oil as required. • Oil Blows out Breather of Power Unit If oil blows out of the breather of the power unit, take the following actions: 1. 2. • Oil reservoir overfilled.
tank. The level should be two inches below the flange of the tank. A screwdriver can be used as a “dipstick”. 2. Cylinder - Piston Rod: the rod seal of the cylinder is out. Rebuild or replace the cylinder. 3. Cylinder - Vent: the piston seal of the cylinder is out. Rebuild or replace the cylinder. • Lift makes excessive noise / vibrates Excessive noise from the lift is normally caused by the following: 1. Cross beam ends are rubbing the columns. Readjustment needed. 2.
Daily Inspection & Maintenance 1. Cleanliness: Cables, Columns, Runways and other lift parts should be kept free of corrosive agents, sol vents, and road salts. If such agents are spilled or splashed on any lift component, immediately rinse thoroughly with water and wipe down with a clean rag. Spray wire rope cables as required with Penetrating Oil and wipe down.
Failure to keep lift free of corrosive agents and solvents will lead to reduced component service life, cable failure, etc., which could result in property damage and/or personal injury. 2. Fasteners: Check all the attaching bolts and nuts for tightness. 3. 4. 5. Cables: Check wire rope cables for wear or damage.
a. b. c. d. e. f. inspection holes and openings in yokes and runways. Check all the following: That cables have no broken wires visible, reference Daily Inspection & Maintenance. That cables are free of severe corrosion and pitting, reference Daily Inspection & Maintenance. A light surface corrosion on exposed outer wires is normal. Penetrating Oil should be applied during monthly periodic inspection.
Inspect the hydraulic cylinder mounting to the runway. Inspect cylinder and hydraulic hoses for leaks. Repair or replace as required. 1 Check and tighten the hydraulic cylinder rod nuts holding the cable pull bar. 4. TRACKS for Rolling Jack and Oil Drain Pan Inspect rolling jack/oil drain pan tracks for cleanliness, corrosion, excessive wear or damage. Clean dirty tracks.
WARNING! Worn or damaged tracks must be repaired immediately. Failure to do so will lead to reduced service life which could result in property damage and/or personal injury. 5. Latch Inspection and Adjustment Check locking latches for proper operation. Inspect for worn or missing parts. Replace worn or damaged parts and adjust as required. 1. Latches Check latch operation on all four corners. 2.
h. If entire 2” clearance cannot be attained by adjusting the locking latch bar, adjust the cable. Turn cable adjusting nut to raise the locking latch 2” above bottom of latch bar slot. Tighten cable jam nut.
i. Lower lift and remove vehicle.
j. Raise the lift to full height. LISTEN and WATCH as the first locking latch clicks into place.
