Initial Operation EQUALIZER VALVES ON THE HYDRAULIC EQUALIZATION CIRCUIT MUST REMAIN IN THE CLOSED POSITION DURING NORMAL OPERATION. REFERENCE FIGURE 17 (b). REAR BOLSTER BAR AND JACK BEAMS CANNOT BE INSTALLED UNTIL THE LIFT HAS BEEN BLED. THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE SHOULD BE PERFORMED WITHOUT LOAD ON THE LIFT. 1.
Bleed The Hydraulic System 7.10 EQUALIZER VALVES ON THE HYDRAULIC EQUALIZATION CIRCUIT MUST REMAIN IN THE CLOSED POSITION DURING NORMAL OPERATION. FAILURE TO CLOSE VALVES DURING NORMAL OPERATION MAY DAMAGE LIFT STRUCTURE.THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE SHOULD BE PERFORMED WITHOUT LOAD ON THE LIFT. 1.
Level and Support 7.11 NOTICE - CORRECT LEVELING IS IMPORTANT TO ENSURE THE PROPER OPERATION OF THE LIFT. TAKE PRECAUTIONS TO ENSURE ACCURATE LEVEL READINGS WHEN PERFORMING THIS PROCEDURE. IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO PERFORM THE LEVELLING PROCEDURE USING A SELF-LEVELLING LASER LEVEL.
Note: These bolts must be removed once the shims are installed under the base correctly (same as the center bolt on the base). Figure 19 – Shimming Anchoring Procedure 7.12 CAUTION! WEAR PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) AND PRACTICE CAUTION WHILE DRILLING CONCRETE. Figure 20 –...
Grouting Procedure (Optional) 7.13 1. Pour grouting under the load area of each base frame as shown in Figure 21. Ensure that grout is evenly distributed under the frame and finish the edges with a 45 degree chamfer. Refer to specific grouting instructions on the package.
8.0 ACCESSORY INSTALLATION Position lift to a comfortable working height and place the lift on the mechanical safety locks to continue with the installation. Installation of Wheel Stops Install the front wheel stops located in the accessory box by using three M14 hex bolts, washers, and hex nuts located in the hardware kit for each runway.
Installation of Rear Bolster Bar Install the bolster bar to the rear end of both runways by using eight M24 Hex bolts, washers and Hex nuts located in the hardware kit. See Figure 23. Engine crane or floor jack will be required to lift and position the bolster bar. It may be necessary to lower the lift to accommodate the installation.
Position of approaching ramps Position the approaching ramps in the desired location NOTE: RAMP OPERATION INSTRUCTION REFERENCE TO THE SECTION 19.0. Raise the lift up to the top lock position; Open the ramps package to get two fully retracted ramps (9-2180), position them in the desired location, see Figure 25.
Page 31
Lower the lift and verify sufficient clearance between the deck ends and the approach ramps. Review the function of the transition ramps, if the ramp is too lower, use supplied shims to shim up desired height (total can raise up 60mm or 2-3/8"), and ensure the transition ramp functioning.
Position of Jack Beams Refer to Figure 1, Position two Jack beams on scissor lift, make sure that the air/ hydraulic pump of front jack beam oriented to front and the air/ hydraulic pump of rear jack beam oriented to rear for easy operation. And also make sure that all rollers seat on the rail on both sides of runways, see Figure 29.

9.0 INSTALL FRONT TURNTABLES Installation of Front Turntables Position the lift at a comfortable working height and lower onto a mechanical safety lock. Place each front turntable assembly on the front alignment pan of the runway. Moving lock handles of the turntables should be oriented to the outside of lift, See Figure 34 (a). If the surface of turntable is not flat with the runway, the turntable support can be adjusted to See Figure 34 (b).
Page 37
Do not insert fingers in the front or rear alignment pan cut-out, See Figure 35 and Figure 36. During normal use, the front turntables and rear slip plates may move rapidly, Creating pinch points for your fingers or hands. Keep hands clear of these pinch points when moving it.
10.0 FINAL PROCEDURES Check of Assembled Lift 10.1 1. Final dimension check after anchoring. 2. Check for air and hydraulic leaks. Check hydraulic fluid level in reservoir and top up as required using appropriate fluid. 4. Check all fasteners, tighten if necessary. 5.
11.0 LIFT OPERATION Raising the Lift 11.1 1. If the lift is equipped with sliding Jack Beam(s), be sure that the Beam(s) are positioned at the front or mid travel of the lift, fully down, and with the risers removed and stored. Never store Jack Beams at the rear of the lift.
Approaching Ramp Operation 11.3 This sliding approaching ramp have three following working positions, Customer can chose any one by their service needs. a) Fully Retracted Position See Figure 37, this position is for customer with limit space in garage, which need to fully retract the ramp to close garage door.
Page 41
- After day work, if more clearance space needs for close the garage door, lift the end sliding ramp end and push back fully, than lift the middle ramp up slightly and push back to fully retract position see Figure 37. Figure 38 –...
Where pneumatic oil is required > Snap-On air motor oil IM1PT If you are not completely familiar with automotive lift maintenance procedures, STOP. Contact Snap-on Equipment Technical Support for instructions. To avoid personal injury, permit only qualified lift service personnel to perform maintenance on this equipment.
Mechanical Safety Locks 12.2 Watch and listen to safety locks operation during lift operation, to ensure that locks move as required, Stop using the lift if any malfunction or damage is observed. - If the safety locks on both sides sound not even or unsynchronized, bleed the hydraulic system again, reference to Section 7.10.
Air Cylinders, Air Lines, Valve and Fittings 12.3 Check FRL (Filter/Regulator/Lubricator) in the right side of console. Drain water trap filter bowl and adjust oil feed according to manufacturer’s instructions. Drain water bowl on lift supplied water separator. Press valve at the bottom of the bowl to clear. Check operation of air release valve for air leaks.
If loose, re-torque base frame anchors to 110 ft-lb and approaching ramp AT BASE FRAMES anchors to 55 ft-lb. If anchors do not tighten to required torque, or continue to loosen, contact Snap-on Equipment Technical Support. Verify proper embedment of anchors after tightening. The Ø3/4”×5-1/2” wedge anchors supplied must have a NOTE: minimum embedment of 3-1/4”...
Runways 12.9 12.9.1 CHECK RUNWAYS Check runways for damage or abnormal deformation.
