- Page 10 IMPORTANT FLOW DIVIDER INFORMATION There is a Hydraulic OUT Port on either side of the Flow Divider, and a Hydraulic IN Port on the lower Ports. Depending on the Flow Divider that came with your Lift, the Ports may be configured differently. Your Lift will not work right if the Flow Divider is installed incorrectly! If your Flow Divider looks like the graphic below, connect the two Long Hydraulic Hoses to the top OUT Ports, and the Short Hydraulic Hose connects to the Bottom Left IN Port.
- Page 11 STEP 5 SITE LAYOUT 1. Determine the location of where the lift will be installed based on the size of vehicles servicing. The dimensions shown below are rough guidelines.

- Page 12 STEP 6 INSTALLING THE ANCHORS Before proceeding, verify location, measurements, and that the Base Plates are aligned with the Chalk Lines (Figure 10). The concrete must be minimum of 4" (101mm) thick with a minimum compressive strength of 3000 psi (20 MPa). Follow the procedure exactly for proper fitting and alignment of Anchors.
- Page 13 Fig. 15 7. Install both Posts with Bolts and Washers to Anchors, check plumb and measurements as shown below. 8. If shimming is required, insert the shims as necessary under the base plate so that when the provided 5/8 x 2" Anchor Bolts are tightened, the Posts will be plumb both side to side and front to rear.
- Page 14 STEP 7 CONNECTING THE HYDRAULIC HOSES 1. Thread one end of the 3/8 NPT Hose Fittings into one of the Top Out Ports on the Flow Divider. Do this with both Hoses.
