    STEP 2: Unloading and Unpacking: Freight carriers may have restrictions on delivering to residential addresses requiring freight terminal pick-up. Please contact the freight carrier to coordinate delivery to a terminal where the terminal personnel will load the lift onto the customer's trailer or truck. Lifts will not be shipped to an address without a fork-lift.
  • Page 15 Figure 2.3: Freight Terminal Figure 2.4: Lift Loaded on Customer’s Trailer With the lift assembly still on the trailer, position the material handler to lift the portion of the package closest to the trailer tongue (figure 2.5) using a strap as shown. Position a wheeled car dolly underneath the shipping bracket (figure 2.6) and lower on to the dolly.
  • Page 16 With the material handler and strap attached to the rear section, raise the packaged assembly upward so the rear section clears the car trailer. Carefully roll the entire lift assembly backwards bringing the front of the packaged assembly short of the rear of the car trailer. The lifted end may now be carefully lowered and placed on a car dolly that is positioned on the ground.

    Figure 3.11 Hardware Bag Contents Separated Crossmember Preparation and Installation Remove the crossmembers from the top of Package 2 using the material handler. The crossmembers are heavy, two persons are required in addition to the material handlers to stabilize the load. Note: Both crossmembers are identical.
  • Page 22 Figure 3.14 Crossmember Placement Using wood blocks, prop the leg up so there is clearance to slide the crossmember down the legs. Position the crossmember so the guide blocks align with both columns, adjust the leg spacing as necessary to match them up.
  • Page 23 * NOTE * One side of each glide block is thicker than the other. To denote correct orientation, notches have been machined into the corners. Figure 3.17 illustrates the correct orientation for installation. Place two glide blocks in the corners as shown in figure 3.18.

  • Page 24: Front And Back Sections Locations

    Once on the locks you can stand up the columns and work them into the planned position. The crossmember and legs are extremely heavy, a material handler may be used to assist in raising the assembly. To prevent the crossmember from riding up the legs place a stop in the lock hole directly above the crossmember.

  • Page 38: Step 10: Pre-Operation And Maintenance Checks

    The most common cause of hydraulic system malfunction or failure is contamination of the hydraulic fluid. The hydraulic system (hose and pipe, cylinders, valves, etc.) must be clean to prevent contamination problems. For unusual vehicles (limousines, RV’s, long wheelbases, short wheelbases, etc.) contact Advantage Lifts for loading instructions. If Lift Does Not Rise Check hose connections.

  • Page 39: Daily Checks

    Daily Checks are the responsibility of the owner or qualified operator. Confirm all fasteners are in place and tight. (Snap rings, collars, bolts, nuts etc.) Check that the hoses are not kinked, are clear of the cables and do not hang up on the tank. All secondary locks move freely and return to home position.

  • Page 40: Step 11: First Start Up (At Installation)

    STEP 11: First Start Up (At Installation) Wax the outside of the columns where the UHMW Guide Blocks will make contact to the column. The wax will reduce friction and make for smooth operation (figures 11.1 & 11.2). Grease the zerk fittings (4 on the powered runway and 2 on each crossmember).
