INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS STEP 1: (Selecting Site) Before installing your new lift, check the following: 1. LIFT LOCATION: Always use architects plans when available. Check layout dimension against floor plan requirements making sure that adequate space is available (Fig. 2 & Fig. 3). Fig.
Fig. 3 (Column / Floor Layout) 1 OVERHEAD OBSTRUCTIONS: The area where the lift located should be free of overhead obstructions such as heaters, building supports, electrical lines etc. (Figs 2 & 3.) 2 DEFECTIVE CONCRETE: Visually inspect the site where the lifts will be installed and check for cracked or defective concrete. 3 FLOOR REQUIREMENTS: The lift should be installed on a 3000 PSI concrete with minimum of 4-1/4” thickness.
STEP 2: (Unloading & Unpacking) 1. After unloading the lift, place it near the intended installation location. 2. Remove the shipping bands and packing materials from the unit. 3. Remove the packing brackets and bolts holding the two columns together. (Do not discard bolts, they may be used in the assembling of the lift ) 4. Take out the overhead beam, uprights, lifting arms, swivel pads, height extensions, hardware box, hoses, covers, etc., from the column.
3. Using the base plate on the MAIN column as a guide, drill each anchor hole in the concrete approximately 1 3 5 /2” deep using a rotary hammer drill and /4” concrete drill-bit. To assure full holding power, do not ream the hole or allow the drill to wobble. (See Anchoring Details on Page 4) 4. After drilling, remove dust thoroughly from each hole using compressed air and/or wire brush. Make certain that the column remains aligned with the chalk line during this process. 5.
3. Using a lifting device, raise the Overhead Beam assembly and connect to uprights at each end, using the bolts, nuts and washers, as shown in (Fig. 9). 4. Use a tape measure to measure the diagonal distance between the opposite corners of the base plates on the columns. Equal values will ensure the lifting arms will be in square. 5. Secure OFFSIDE column to the floor following the same procedures as outlined in STEP 4. Fig. 9 STEP 6: (Installing POWER UNIT) 1.
STEP 7: (Installing / Routing EQUALIZER CABLES) Cont. Cable Routing Diagram Fig. 14 5. Repeat above for the second cable. 6. Adjust each equalizer cable to approximately 1/2” side-to-side play. Ensure that each cable has equal tension. Check the carriage height to ensure both carriages are sitting on the same latch.
STEP 8: (Installing / Routing HYDRAULIC HOSES, HYDRULIC FITTINGS & HOSE COVERS) 1. Install & connect hydraulic hoses, fittings and hose covers, as shown below in (Figs. 15-17) along with the Exploded View #2 diagram on page 22. NOTE: It is necessary to have hoses routed through Hose Covers (Fig. 17), along with ensuring the hydraulic T-Fitting’s threads are fully tightened against the outside of Main column, as shown in (Figs. 15 & 16). Fig. 15 Fig. 16 Fig.
STEP 9: (Installing Swing Arms & Arm Restraints) Cont. 1 Install arm restraint mechanisms to each swing arm, as shown below in (Fig. 18). 2 Check for proper engagement for the arm restraints as the gear rack should fully engage the gear on the arm. Fig.
STEP 10: (Electrical Connection to POWER UNIT & OVERHEAD LIMIT SWITCH) 1. Have a certified electrician make the electrical connection to the power unit. Use separate circuit for each power unit, as shown below in (Fig. 19). Fig. 19 IMPORTANT! The wiring must comply with local code. Protect each circuit with time delay fuse or circuit breaker. For 208V-230V single phase, use 20 amp fuse. WARNING!! Never operate the motor in line voltage less than 208VAC as motor damage may occur. 2.
STEP 11: (Checking Operation) See next page for detailed Operation Instructions: 1 Do not place any vehicle on the lift at this time. Cycle the lift up and down several times to ensure carriage latches click together and all air is removed from the hydraulic system. 2 To lower the lift, both carriage’s safety latch releases must be manually pulled down to be released to lower lift (Fig.24). The latches will automatically reset once the lift ascends approximately 17” from base.
IMPORTANT! Read Safety & Operating Information on following pages before using lift. OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS RAISE LIFT 1. Read operating and safety manuals before using lift. 2. Always lift a vehicle according to the manufacturers recommended lifting points 3. Position vehicle between columns, as equally as possible. 4. Adjust swing arms so that the vehicle is positioned with the center of gravity midway between pads. 5. Use truck adapters as needed. Never exceed 9” of pad height. 6.
SAFETY PROCEDURES • Never allow unauthorized persons to operate lift. Thoroughly train new employees in the operation and care of lift. • Caution: the power unit operates at high pressure. • Remove passengers before raising vehicle. • Prohibit unauthorized persons from being in shop area while lift is in use. • Total lift capacity is 12,000 lbs. with 3,000 lbs. per arm pad. Never exceed the capacity.
WARNING OSHA AND ANSI REQUIRE USERS TO INSPECT LIFTING EQUIPMENT AT THE START OF EVERY SHIFT. THESE AND OTHER PERIODIC INSPECTIONS ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE USER. DAILY PRE-OPERATION CHECK (8 HOURS) The user should perform daily check. Daily check of the safety latch system is very important the discovery of device failure before needed could save you from expensive property damage, lost production time, serious personal injury and even death.
Only a trained maintenance experts should perform the following items. • Replace hydraulic hoses • Replace chains and rollers. • Replace cables and sheaves. • Replace or rebuild air and hydraulic cylinders as required. • Replace or rebuild pumps / motors as required. • Check hydraulic and air cylinder rod and rod end (threads) for deformation or damage. • Check cylinder mount for looseness and damage. Relocating or changing components may cause problems.
TROUBLE SHOOTING 1. Motor does not run: A. Breaker or fuse blown B. Faulty wiring connections. Call electrician. C. Defective up button. Call electrician for checking. D. Defective Capacitor. Call electrician for checking. 2. Motor runs but will not raise: A. Oil level to low. Oil level should be just under the vent cap port when the lift is down!!! B. Check the clearance in the plunger valve of the lowering handle. C. Remove the check valve cover and clean ball and seat. D.
