2.4 Installation Procedure
1. Read this manual thoroughly before Installing, Operating, or Maintaining this lift.
2. Site Evaluation and Lift Location
A. Always use an architect's plan when provided. Before unpacking the lift entirely, determine if the
site is adequate for the lift model being installed see Figures 1 & 2 for typical bay layout and ceiling
height requirements. It is recommended to have 170" (14-2") minimal celling height.
B. Determine which side will be the approach side.
C. Now determine which side you prefer the power unit to be located on. The MAIN column has the
power-unit mounting bracket attached to the side
THE POWER UNIT COLUMN CAN BE LOCATED ON EITHER SIDE. IT IS HELPFUL TO TRY
AND LOCATE THE POWER SIDE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WHEN
LOADED ON THE LIFT, IN ORDER TO SAVE STEPS DURING OPERATION.
D. Once a location is determined, use a carpenter's chalk line to layout a grid for the column's
locations.
E. After the post locations are marked, use a chalk or crayon to make an outline of the posts on the
floor at each location using the post base plates as a template.
F. Double check all dimensions and make sure that the layout is perfectly square.
DO NOT USE THESE LINES TO POSITION THE COLUMNS, FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN
THIS MANUAL.
3. Unpack the Lift
A. Remove the lifting arms, lifting pads, height adapters, hardware box, hoses, covers, power
unit box, column extensions and overhead beam from packaging.
B. Save all packing hardware, as these components may be required to complete the installation.
C. Remove the packing bolts from brackets, which hold the two columns together.
D. Remove the upper column. Do not stand the columns up now but lay the columns with their
backs on the floor.
4. Attach Uprights / Column Extensions
A. Connect column uprights / extensions to each column using M10 bolts, washers and nuts.
DUE TO HEAVY WEIGHT OF COLUMN ASSEMBLY, IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO USE A
HOIST OR FORKLIFT TO ASSIST IN STANDING THE COLUMNS TO AN UPRIGHT POSTION.
