Foundation Prior to installation a sufficiently stable foundation and level lift bay floor shall be completed in accordance with MAHA recommendations. Minimum concrete thickness: 200 mm reinforced. Always use the latest foundation plans available from MAHA. Proof of safe floor load capacity is the owner's responsibility.
CARLIFT 4.1 Installation Four (4) stands and a hoist or forklift are required for lift installation. Cross Supports Assemble the lift on its final location. For lift positioning and dimensions see also sections "Specifications" and "Appendix B". Drawing not true to scale.
CARLIFT 4.1 Installation Runways Approach Column with power and control unit Position the runways on the cross supports. Q1 Front cross support with cable tube The runway with the hydraulic cylinder must be Q2 Back cross support placed between columns 1 and 4.
Installation CARLIFT 4.1 Fasteners Check to be sure the cross supports are at right angles with the runways. Wheel alignment lifts: Fasten both runways to the cross supports. Use the fastening screws (B) to adjust the cross supports. For fine adjustment of the runways use the levelling screws (NF).

CARLIFT 4.1 Installation Bleeding Do not bleed the hydraulic system with the lift loaded. The bleeder screw is accessible through a hole in one of the runways. Use an Allen key with a minimum length of 80 mm. Runways will lower during bleeding procedure.
Installation CARLIFT 4.1 2.10 Levelling of Runways for Standard Lifts 2.10.1 Adjustment of Cable Length Raise the loaded lift to approx. midpoint of travel. Open the lock nuts of all lifting cables. Level the runways (see illustration above) by adjusting the fastening nuts as required.
CARLIFT 4.1 Installation 2.11 Levelling and Adjustment of Wheel Alignment Lifts 2.11.1 Levelling of Cross Supports in Wheel Alignment Position Raise the lift to wheel alignment height and set the runways on the locks. Open the lock nuts (2) of all lock ladders (4).
Installation CARLIFT 4.1 2.11.2 Levelling of Cross Supports in Fully Lowered Position Fully lower the lift. Using a levelling instrument, measure the height of the four check points on the cross supports (see illustration above). Using the foot screws, adjust the cross supports in such a way that the four check points are equal in height.
CARLIFT 4.1 Installation 2.12 Adjustment of Cross Supports Using the fastening screws of the runways, adjust the carriages of the cross supports. This may be necessary if the carriages are out of plumb. 2.12.1 Standard Lifts The cross supports can be adjusted by increasing the tightening torque applied to the fasteners.

With lift fully lowered, open fill-breather cap (1) and fill in fluid until it reaches the MAX mark (2). Petroleum-based fluid has to meet HLPD 32 specifications (MAHA part VM 999005). Biodegradable fluid: Only use MAHA HLP 32 (MAHA part VM 999014).
Wash these substances off the lift immediately. Do not use high pressure or steam jet cleaners. Periodically treat the lift with oil or wax spray. Repair damage to the paintwork immediately to prevent corrosion. The RAL number is available from MAHA. D1 3610TH1-GB02...
