Concrete Foundation Specifications and Requirements Less than 10,000 lbs 2-Post Models 4 Inch Min. Thickness / 3,000 PSI (4000 PSI Recommended) FOUNDATION and ANCHORING REQUIREMENTS Before installing your new lift, check the following. Selecting Lift Location: Always use architects building plans when available. Check layout dimension against floor plan requirements making sure that adequate space is available.
POST TENSION CONCRETE DO NOT CUT OR DRILL THROUGH A POST TENSION CABLE. Do not disturb, bolt up, or apply load to adhesive anchors prior to the full cure of the adhesive. Metal anchors and fasteners will corrode and may lose load-carrying capacity when installed in corrosive environments or exposed to corrosive materials.
Page 14
Expansion Anchor ¾” x 5-1/2” Anchor size is same as drill bit size ( .775" to .787“ ) Use a hammer drill with a Carbide tip, 3/4" diameter, solid drill bit. The bit tip diameter should be to ANSI Standard B95.12-1977.
Troubleshooting The power unit does not run: - Check electrical supply breaker or fuse. - Check to see if limit switch is being contacted by a tall vehicle. - Check micro-switch and connections in motor control box. - Check voltage to the motor. - Check micro-switch and connections on the overhead switch.
Troubleshooting The lift will only lower completely to 1” from the floor. -Check that the safety latches are disengaged. - Adjust cable as needed to assure that cables have not been over tightened and check that both safety latches are disengage.
Pre-Installation Procedu res Before beginning your installation make sure you read the installation manual and insure all instructions and safety guidelines are fully understood. Check that all component parts are accounted for. Locate the installation area, identify the center line of the bay and mark the floor. Also mark the center of bay entrance door. Connect these two points with a short chalk line in the area where lift will be located.

Columns STE P 9: Raise the columns and position the columns facing each other. The outside base plates measurements are as shown for each unit (Fig. 1, 2) for correct measu rement to your lift). Square using a chalk line and measuring from rear points on base plates (mark your positioning within 1/16”).

Equalizing Cables STEP 14: After the columns have been securely fastened. Raise the both lifting carriages to second safety lock position. (Double check to make sure carriage is secure before routing cable.) STEP 15: (see Fig. #2) After raising the columns route the cables in each column cables as illustrated (Fig #?). the cable from the front tie off point of the carriage, the stop connector will seat on the front stop Route mount.

Step 14: Install lifting carriage arm drop pins. (Fig. 20) Fig 20 Equalizing Cables Important Notice: Equalizing Cables must be checked weekly. The tension should not be any more than 1/2" of tension slack. Failure to do this could cause an uneven lift and could cause DANGER. Equalizing cables should always be adjusted so that safety latches are in sync set on safety locks Synchronizing Safety Latches STEP 23: Without any vehicle on the lift. Cycle the lift up and down several times to insure safety latches engage properly and all air is removed from the hydraulic system.
Microswitch Step 25: If this unit includes a safety micro switch test. Verify that micro switch is operating correctly. Operate lift and apply pressure to micro switch with a piece of non-conductive material to push down on switch. A chance of shock could occur if wiring has not been installed incorrectly. This will insure motor shuts off prior to any part of vehicle coming in contact with overhead crossbeam or preset height restrictions micro switch location.
