2. Install a 1/4” NPT straight fitting into each cylinder Fig 3.2 port using Teflon tape then remove the cable sheaves located at the inside bottom of each post by first removing the hex head bolts, and then by removing the sheave pin. Remove cable Remove cable sheaves...
STEP 4 (Site Layout) 1. Determine which side of the lift will be the approach side. 2. Now decide where the power unit will be located. The POWER SIDE column has the power unit mounting bracket attached to the side. 3.
If shimming is required, insert the shims as necessary under the base plate so that when the anchor bolts are tightened, the posts will be plumb. (See Fig. 5.3) Fig 5.3 NOTE: Not include the shimming With the foot guards, shims and anchor bolts in place, tighten by securing the nut to the base then turning 3-5 full turns clockwise.
The standard power unit for your lift is 220 volt, 60HZ, single phase. All wiring must be performed by a certified electrician only. SEE WIRING INSTRUCTIONS AFFIXED ALL WIRING MUST BE PERFORMED TO MOTOR FOR PROPER WIRING INSTRUCTIONS. BY A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN. DO NOT PERFORM ANY MAINTENANCE OR INSTALLATION OF ANY COMPONENTS WITHOUT FIRST ENSURING THAT ELECTRICAL POWER HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED AT THE SOURCE OR PANEL AND CANNOT BE RE-ENERGIZED UNTIL ALL MAINTENANCE AND/OR INSTALLATION PROCEDURES ARE COMPLETED.
2. Route the power unit hose between the cylinder shaft Fig 8.2 and the equalizer sheave bracket. (See Fig 8.2) Straight Cylinder Fitting Hose WHEN ROUTING HYDRAULIC HOSES THROUGH THE POSTS, ROUTE HOSES THROUGH THE HOSE IS CLEAR OF ANY MOVING PARTS. IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO TIE THE HOSES CLEAR BY USING NYLON TIE STRAPS OR WIRE. FAILURE TO KEEP THE HYDRAULIC HOSES CLEAR MAY RESULTIN THE HYDRAULIC HOSES TO FAIL, WHICH MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE OR PERSONAL HARM.
