Installation, Operation and Parts Manual AutoLift AL-6254 1.Unfold the package and decide on which post the power unit will be mounted. 2.. Draw an outline of the base plate on the ground with chalk and ascertain the position for the post. Step 5: Erect and secure first post, power side post (the post on which the control box and pump assembly will be mounted) first and then the other post. 1. Using the base plate as a template, use a masonary drill to drill the holes. 2. Remove thoroughly the debris and dust in holes and ascertain that the posts stay right upon the circle previously marked by chalk. 3. Secure the second post as per step, 1, 2. NOTE: Torque all anchor bolts to 120 ft lbs. Step 6: Fix the base plate & channel plate. Raise both carriages about 800mm from the ground then rest on the safety locks. Place the channel plate between the two base plates of the post. channel plate Step 7: Connect steel wire ropes. 1. Route and fix according to the following diagram of steel wire ropes connection. 2. Raise carriages on both sides approximately 800mm above the ground. Carriages must be at the same height from the floor. 3. Make sure that the mechanical safety locks on each post are fully engaged before attempting to route the wire ropes. 4. After fixing the ropes, adjust the ropes on both sides to the same tension which could be judged when the ratchet sound emits during lifting process. Make adjustments after trial run.
