    It is the user’s responsibility to provide all wiring for electrical hook-up prior to installation and to insure that the electrical installation conforms to local building codes. Where required, it is the user’s responsibility to provide an electrical isolation switch located in close proximity to the lift that will enable emergency stop capability and isolate electrical power from the lift for any servicing requirements.
  • Page 7: Bay Layout

    7. Prepare the bay by selecting the location of the lift relative to the walls. Clear area of all packaging materials to avoid trip hazards. Draw a chalk line on the floor to represent the center line of the bay and a second chalk line crossing at 90° for locating the lift towers.

  • Page 14: Safety Release Cable Routing And Adjustment

    5.10 SAFETY RELEASE CABLE ROUTING AND ADJUSTMENT The mechanical safety automatically engages. To release the mechanical safety, you must first raise the lift approximately 2”, then pull the safety release lever down. This disengages the power side safety dog and activates the safety cable to release the slave side safety dog.
  • Page 15: Hydraulic System Bleeding And Leveling Procedure

    Repeat step 2 for the power side tower. Guide the cable up under the large pulley and then over the small pulley towards the safety dog. Wrap the cable around the thimble (attached to the safety dog with a 3/8” x 1/2” lg. shoulder bolt) and then clamp it using two (2) wire rope clips. Do not tighten fully at this stage.
  • Page 16 5. Open the by-pass valve, and power up until oil is seen flowing out of the bleeder hose. (No Air Bubbles). Bleed at least 1 gal. of hydraulic fluid through the system. 6. Remove the bleeding hose and reinstall the bleeder cap. Replace breather/filler cap. 7.
  • Page 17: Hydraulic Adjustment Procedure

    5.12 HYDRAULIC ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE Important! Should your lift come out of synchronization, i.e. one carriage is higher than the other, it is necessary to level the lift hydraulically. When slave side is higher than the power side: 1. Lower lift on to the first safety on the power side. 2.
  • Page 18 Figure 13 – Crossmember Leveling Figure 14 – Tower Leveling Figure 15 – Shim Placement Figure 16 – Anchor Installation Refer to Bay Layout (Figure 3) to ensure that the column is still in the proper position. Using a rotary hammer drill with a ¾” masonry drill bit, drill holes in the floor on the high side column using the tower baseplate as a template.
  • Page 19: Shimming Of The Remaining Tower

    Reconfirm that the column is level front to rear and side to side (Figure 14). Add or remove shims as required. Torque all anchor bolts to 150 ft-lbs. (203 Nm), continually checking that the column is level as you proceed. If anchor bolts do not tighten to 150 ft-lbs. OR project more than 1 ¾”...
