Figs. 1 & 2 Elevation & Floor Layout Fig.
Fig. 2- Floor Layout THE POWER UNIT COLUMN CAN BE LOCATED ON EITHER SIDE. IT IS HELPFUL TO TRY AND LOCATE THE POWER SIDE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WHEN LOADED ON THE LIFT, IN ORDER TO SAVE STEPS DURING OPERATION. ENSURE TO POSITION OVERHEAD LIMIT SWITCH BOX ASSEMBLY ON SAME SIDE AS THE MAINSIDE COLUMN WITH POWER UNIT. SEE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR DETAILS.
2. INSTALLATION 2.1 Site Selection The hydraulic lift is designed only for indoor use. Application in a room with explosion hazard is not permitted. Setting in a wet place, a car wash center for instance, is forbidden. 2.2 Surface Condition / Foundation & Anchoring The 2-post hydraulic lift should be installed on level ground. The foundation must be 4-1/2” minimum thickness concrete, with a minimum compressive strength of 3,500 psi.
FOUNDATION and ANCHORING REQUIREMENTS 3-1/2” 4-1/2” Drill holes using 3/4” carbide tipped masonry drill bit per ANSI standard B94.12.1977 4-1/2” Clean hole. Run nut down just below impact section of bolt. Drive anchor into hole until nut and washer contact base. 3-1/2” Tighten nut with Torque wrench to 110 ft.-lbs. 2.
2.4 Installation Procedure 1. Read this manual thoroughly before Installing, Operating, or Maintaining this lift. 2. Site Evaluation and Lift Location A. Always use an architect’s plan when provided. Before unpacking the lift entirely, determine if the site is adequate for the lift model being installed see Figures 1 & 2 for typical bay layout and ceiling height requirements. It is recommended to have 170” (14-2”) minimal celling height. B. Determine which side will be the approach side. C.
5. Columns Positioning & Main Side Column Anchoring A. Determine which side will be the approach side. B. Now determine which side you prefer the power unit to be located on. The MAIN column has the power unit mounting bracket attached to the front side, if installed on the passenger side. (If the MAIN column is installed on the driver side, the power unit mounting will be positioned to the backside.) THE DISTANCE BETWEEN COLUMN’S BACK EDGE TO WALL, SHOULD BE AT LEAST 2 TO 3 FEET FOR SAFETY. C.
B. Install the overhead beam to the connection plates on each end with 8ea nuts & bolts, as shown below in Fig.4. Fig. 4 ENSURE TO POSITION OVERHEAD LIMIT SWITCH BOX ASSEMBLY ON SAME SIDE AS THE MAINSIDE COLUMN WITH POWER UNIT. C. Attach the shutoff bar and switch housing to the underside of the overhead beam. Attach single bolt and bar first, then install switch housing. Fig. 5 D.
8. Equalization Cable Routing A. The carriages should be resting on the same column latches for proper equalization. Ensure to measure the height above the baseplate to each carriage. The measurement should be within 3/8” of each other. B. Using the diagrams, rout the equalization cables according to Figs. 6a, 6b & 6c from carriage to carriage through the cable rollers. Cables are routed identically the same on both columns.
E. Alternately tighten the cable nuts at both carriages until the cables are tightened. The correct tension in the cables are indicated by being able to pull the cables together with approximately 15 lbs. effort at midpoint in the column. If the cables are installed correctly, both carriages will raise together. 9. Install the Hydraulic Fittings & Hoses When attaching hydraulic fittings with pipe threads to the cylinders use Teflon tape.
4. Locate T-Fitting & shortest hydraulic hose. Connect the longest hose to top of T-fitting, which is to be positioned behind the power unit bracket. Then, connect the shortest hose to the side of T-fitting as shown. (Figs. 8 & 9) Fig. 8 Fig. 9 5. Connect medium length hose (with 90 degree fitting) to main side cylinder, ensuring to route through leg gussets, as shown in Fig. 7. Route hose up to T-fitting and tighten. 6. Install Hose Covers on sides of columns, using provided hardware.
10. Mounting Power Unit A. Mount on the motor pump using 5/16” x 1-1/4” bolts and nylon nuts provided in the bolt box to Main side column. B. Connect the short hydraulic hose from T-Fitting to the 90 degree fitting on side of valve block, as circled in (Fig 10). Fig. 10 11. Latch-Release Cable Wiring & Accessories mounting A. Mount the safety latch device on each column as shown in ( Fig. 11a & 11b) Fig. 11a Fig.
B. Mount the Cable Pulley and Support Bracket on the top of the Columns. (Fig. 11c) Fig. 11c C. Route and adjust the cable tension so that when the handle is pressed down, both latches will be released. D. Install covers for both latch devices on Off Side & Main Side columns, using the provided screws. (Figs. 12a & 12b) Fig. 12a Fig.
12. Install Arm Restraints & Lifting Arms A. Locate the arms, arm pivot pins, and hardware. Place the arm clevis end into the clevis on the carriage. Place thrust washer on bottom side of carriage clevis. B. Install the swing arms to the carriages using the pins. Secure pin to carriage with clip at bottom of pin. C. Check the operation of the arm restraints.
16. Testing & Bleeding System v v In this step A, there is no load on the lift. Cycle up and down must be with interval rest of 2 mins. A. Without a load, actuate the power unit and hold the button until both carriages lift off the locks and carefully loosen the bleeding screw at top end of the Off side cylinder and allow the trapped air to escape. Once trapped air has escaped, retighten bleed screw on top of cylinder. THE AIR IN THE CYLINDER IS UNDER PRESSURE.
3. Operation BE SURE TO READ AND FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS MANUAL. FAILURE TO FOLLOW SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. 3.1 Operating Instructions BE SURE TO READ AND FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS MANUAL. FAILURE TO FOLLOW SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN PROPER DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
e. Continue to raise to desired height only if vehicle is secure on lift. Then release the START button. f. DO NOT go under vehicle if all four adapters are not in secure contact at vehicle manufacture recommended lift point. g. Repeat complete spotting, loading and raising procedures if required. h. Press down the hydraulic pressure release lever on the motor pump to lower the vehicle into the locking position. The locking latches are engaged. DO NOT GO UNDER VEHICLE IF LOCKING LATCHES ARE NOT ENGAGED.
Vehicle Lifting Points Some vehicles may have the manufacturer’s Service Garage Lift Point locations identified by triangle shape marks on its undercarriage (reference SAE J2184). There may also be a label located on the right front door lock face showing specific vehicle lift points. If the specific vehicle lift points are not identified, please refer to the “Typical Lift Points” illustration below or the ALI/LP Guide - Vehicle Lifting Points / Quick Reference Guide included with your lift.
4. Inspection & Maintenance Instructions Contact your service provider for instruction before starting up if you are not completely familiar with automotive lift maintenance procedures. Only qualified personnel can perform maintenance on this equipment. Any failure in operation may cause personal injury or death. Daily v v v v Always keep bolts tight. Check periodically. Always keep lift components clean. Always if oil leakage is observed, contact your service provider.
WIRE ROPE INSPECTION • Wire ropes are critical to the safe and reliable performance of your lift. • Cables are expendable items and should be replaced as a set. CABLE CONDITION GUIDE (Maximum Allowable Cable Necking) Nom. Cable Diameters Up to 5/16” 3/8” to 1/2” Max.
Emergency Operation (If Lift Becomes Inoperable In Raised Position) If the lift becomes inoperable in the raised position, wait until electrical power is restored to the lift before attempting to lower the vehicle. DO NOT LOOSEN OR REMOVE HYDRAULIC CONNECTIONS OR FITTINGS UNDER PRESSURE. SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH COULD OCCUR.
