installation manual in its entirety before
attempting to install or operate the lift.
SELECTING SITE: Before installing your new lift, check the following.
OVERHEAD OBSTRUCTIONS: The area where the lift will be located should be
free of overhead obstructions such as heaters, building supports, electrical lines
etc.
FLOOR REQUIREMENTS: Visually inspect the site where the lift is to be
installed and check for cracked or defective concrete. This lift must be installed
on a solid level concrete floor with no more than 2 degrees of slope. A level floor
is suggested for proper installation and level lifting. If a floor is of questionable
slope, consider a survey of the site and/or the possibility of pouring a new level
concrete slab. This lift is designed to be installed on a minimum of 4" thick,
3500psi, steel reinforced concrete. Do not install this lift on asphalt, wood, or any
other surface other than described. This lift is only as strong as the foundation on
which it is installed.
DO NOT install this lift outdoors unless special consideration has been made to
protect the power unit from weather conditions.
DO NOT begin installation with lift close to wall. It is necessary to leave adequate
clearance for installing safety linkage rods. Allow 60" for clearance. (See Fig.1)
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.
