The next major piece is the lift column. It will have the carriage unit, the hydraulic cylinder and chain assembly,
and safety latch cable already assembled in it.
Pick column up from horizontal position by a forklift or an engine hoist. Carefully lift it vertically high enough to
set the column on the base plate and maneuver it around to line up the mounting holes. The column is easier
to maneuver when vertical on the base plate. If possible, do not remove the straps from the column until you
have got the mounting bolts started into the base plate. (Fig.4 A, B, C, D)

After you’ve put the column into position, you’ll bolt it to the base plate. You’ll need a wrench or a socket with a
ratchet to tighten these bolts.
In order to make the column be vertical when car is loaded, shim plates have been welded to the bottom of the
column. The optimal tilting degree is between 0.5 and 1.0 (Fig. 5 A, B, C).
