Page 3: Important Safety Instructions
Make sure all cables are on pulleys before operating your lift. Always lower your lift onto the safety locks; this will protect your power unit. Your power unit will not raise a car while the pump is loaded. Before using your lift, lubricate the inside of the four columns. - Page 4 NEVER overload your lift. Manufacturer’s rated capacity is shown on nameplate affixed to the lift. ALWAYS know the gross weight of vehicle. NEVER use the lift to raise one end or one side of vehicle. NEVER raise vehicle with anyone inside it. No one should be in the lift area during operation.
- Page 5 ALWAYS wear safety glasses. Every day eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses. They are not safety glasses. READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL SAFETY WARNINGS & PROCEDURES BEFORE OPERATING LIFT. POST THESE SAFETY TIPS WHERE THEY WILL BE A CONSTANT REMINDER TO YOUR LIFT OPERATOR. FOR INFORMATION SPECIFIC TO THE LIFT, ALWAYS REFER TO THE LIFT MANUFACTURER’S MANUAL.
- Page 6 NOTE The power unit can be placed in one of two locations, front left or rear right (See Fig. 1) Unpacking: Unpacked the lift close to the installation site. Layout a chalk line on the floor following the floorplan (See Fig.1). Stand the columns in place making sure to position the power unit mounting bracket at the correct location and the lock blocks facing outward.
- Page 7 Track Installation Start with the track with the cylinder. This track will be located with the hose connection facing out toward the leg with power unit bracket attached. NOTE The power unit can be located in two locations shown. With an assistant, pick up and place one end of the main side track on the crossrail, and then pick up and place the other end on the opposite crossrail (if you have three assistants, place both ends at the same time).
- Page 8 DO NOT USE THE POWER UNIT TO EXTEND THE CYLINDER Make sure both parts on the cylinder are open to allow the easy flow of air. Manually or with a device such as a come along, pull the cylinder out 60 inches. Although the cylinder may be difficult to move at first, it is usually much easier once you get the first movement.
- Page 9 Check Pulley Cover and Lock Collars: Before proceeding, double check to make sure the locking shaft collars for the crossrail cable pulleys are tight and secure. Check the pulley cover (2-RIGHT and 2 LEFT) over the shaft located on the pulley side of each crossrail. CHECK the pulley and cover are firm against the locking shaft collar already in place.
