Getting Ready
Make sure you have made all necessary measurements to assure that your lift will fit in your garage and
accommodate the two cars you intend to park with it. Make sure you have enough clearance at the top, and
enough width to allow parking a third car on the non-lift side. It is useful to chalk the outlines of the lift on your
garage floor, using the manufacturer’s dimensions, to see how the lift will fit. Knowing where the lift will sit the
base plate, which is the first step in the assembly process, will help to determine the location of the power
supply that is required to operate this lift.
Enlist the services of a qualified electrician to provide appropriate electrical service to the garage and make
sure he knows what the circuit requirements are. Seek his advice on receptacle and plug configurations that
will work.
Make sure you have someone to help you. The pieces of this lift are big, heavy, and cumbersome. It is
possible for two people to install this lift if they have the appropriate lifting and handling equipment, but it is
definitely easier and faster if there are several people available to help manhandle the pieces into place. As
with any activities involving big heavy materials, safety must be uppermost in your mind. This lift is more
difficult to install than some of our other units because of its one-post design, but this very design makes it
extremely effective for residential garage use. With proper preparation and installation, you will be very pleased
with this lift.
