14. Route cables to each column and thru the latch covers as shown in figure #3. Cable is routed around white pulley on secondary lock so that the white pulley is between the column and cable. The cable tension keeps this secondary lock pulled back. Tighten nut so that 3-4 threads are showing at end of cable. Loosen cable retaining bolt under each pulley, making sure that cable or pulley is not rubbing the bolt head. Reinstall latch covers on each crossbeam. 15.
ELECTRICAL Note: Have a certified electrician run appropriate power supply to motor, see figures below. Size wire for 20 amp circuit. See Motor Operating Data Table. CAUTION Never operate the motor on line voltage less than 208V. Motor damage may occur. IMPORTANT: Use separate circuit for each power unit. Protect each circuit with time delay fuse or circuit breaker. Three phase 208-240V, use 20 amp fuse. For three phase 460V and above, use 10 amp fuse. For three phase 380V use 16 amp fuse.
OPTIONAL CASTER KIT 1. Install caster wheels to caster frames as shown. NOTE: Hitch Pin and Hairpin Clip will be used to attach casters to lift in following steps. DO NOT Install at this time. 1. Raise lift 2' - 3' high. M10 x 1-3/8” Bolt Ø10 Flat Washer Hairpin Clip Ø10 Flat Washer Hitch Pin Ø10 Lock Washer M10 Nut 2. 3. Place caster assemblies under crossbeams as shown. Secure with Hitchpin and Hairpin Clip. Lower lift and the columns will automatically raise off the floor.
FOUNDATION REQUIREMENTS Concrete shall have compression strength of at least 3,000 PSI and a minimum thickness of 4”. CAUTION! DO NOT use on asphalt or similar unstable surfaces. SPECIAL NOTE This Lift does not require bolting to the floor (BUT) If you choose the option to anchor the Lift to the floor please follow the detailed instructions and criteria below. FOUNDATION and ANCHORING REQUIREMENTS 1.
ANCHORING TIP INSTRUCTIONS CAUTION! Anchors must be at least 6” from the edge of the slab or any seam. 1. Use a concrete hammer drill with a carbide tip, solid drill bit the same diameter as the anchor, ¾”. (.775 to .787 inches diameter). Do not use excessively worn bits or bits which have been incorrectly sharpened. 2. Keep the drill in a perpendicular line while drilling. 3. Let the drill do the work. Do not apply excessive pressure.
ATTENTION 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.
Lift Lockout/Tagout Procedure Purpose 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.).
Operating Conditions 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.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS NOTE: ALWAYS CHOCK WHEELS AND SET PARKING BRAKE BEFORE LIFTING VEHICLE! Only authorized personnel are to operate lift. Read Operating and safety procedures Manual completely before operating lift. • Properly maintain and inspect lift in accordance to owner' manual. • Do not operate a lift that is damaged or in need of repair. • Allow only authorized personnel in the lift bay. • Stay clear of lift when raising or lowering (no riders).
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE The periodic Preventive Maintenance Schedule given is the suggested minimum requirements and minimum intervals; accumulated hours or monthly period, which ever comes sooner. Periodic maintenance is to be performed on a daily, weekly, and yearly basis as given in the following paragraphs. In the event you need replacement parts, use only genuine replacement parts available from your local genuine distributor.
Yearly Maintenance • • • Lubricate the cable sheave shaft by using grease gun at lease once a year after the lift is in service. Check for excessive wear of cable. Replace them if necessary. Change the hydraulic fluid - good maintenance procedure makes it mandatory to keep hydraulic fluid clean. No hard fast rules can be established; - operating temperature, type of service, contamination levels, filtration, and chemical composition of fluid should be considered.
TROUBLESHOOTING The common problems that may be encountered and their probable causes are covered in the following paragraphs: • Motor Does Not Operate Failure of the motor to operate is normally caused by one of the following: 1. Breaker or fuse blown. 2. Faulty wiring connections; call electrician. 3. Defective up button; call electrician for service. • Motor Functions but Lift Will Not Rise If the motor is functioning, but the lift will not rise do the following in the order given: 1.
• Motor Hums and Will Not Run If the motor hums but fails to run, take the following actions: 1. Lift overloaded. Remove excessive weight from lift. WARNING The voltages used in the lift can cause death or injury to personnel. In the following steps, make sure that a qualified electrician is used to perform maintenance 2. Faulty wiring..….... Call electrician 3. Bad capacitor..….. Call electrician 4. Low voltage........... Call electrician • Lift Jerks Going Up and Down 1.
Cable Inspection Guide Maximum Allowable Cable Necking Nom. Cable Diameters Max. Reduction in Diameter Up to 5/16” 1/64” 3/8” to 1/2” 1/32” 9/16” to 3/4” 3/64” 7/8” to 1-1/8” 1/16” 1-1/4” to 1-1/2” 3/32” Typical Good Cable Cable With Broken Wires Cable With Severe Corrosion Cable With Necking Daily Inspection & Maintenance 1. Cleanliness: Cables, Columns, Runways and other lift parts should be kept free of corrosive agents, sol vents, and road salts.
3. Cables: Check wire rope cables for wear or damage. Any cable with broken wires, severe corrosion, ex cessive stretch, deformed strands, variations in diameter (necking), or any change from its normal appearance, must be replaced. If any cable is found to be in need of replacement, the entire cable set must be replaced immediately. Refer to figures below. 4. Sheaves: Check sheaves (pulleys) for wear or damage, i.e. wobble (tilt), cracks, loose on pin, or excessive noise during operation. 5.
A light surface corrosion on exposed outer wires is normal. Penetrating Oil should be applied during monthly periodic inspection. c. That there are no areas on the cable that have a greatly reduced diameter or “necking”, reference Daily Inspection & Maintenance. When any cable is found with excessive necking, all cables must be replaced immediately. d. That cables do not have excessive stretch.
2.2 Fully raise lift. Inspect sheaves (pulleys) in runway ends with lift in raised position. a. Visually inspect alignment of sheaves, see figure above. Misalignment of sheave(s) indicates excessive wear; the sheave(s) and sheave pin should be removed and inspected. Replace as required. b. Hold lowering handle down to lower lift onto latches. Pull on cables under runway to create cable slack. c. Check for excessive side to side wobble.
3.1 Check and tighten the hydraulic cylinder rod nuts holding the cable pull bar. 4. Rims for Oil Drain Pan Inspect oil drain pan rims for cleanliness, corrosion, excessive wear or damage. Clean dirty rims. 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.
i. j. Lower lift and remove vehicle. Raise the lift to full height. LISTEN and WATCH as the first locking latch clicks into place. Synchronize the other three columns with this column by adjusting their cables so all four latches click at same time. Tighten jam nuts. When making changes to adjustment nuts on cable end or latch bar stud, always leave at least two threads showing between nut and stud end. Latches may not click in at the same time when vehicle is being raised.
