5. INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1. Remove protective wrapping from the lift and clear installation area of packaging materials.
Place two wooden blocks under the lift to enable fork lift or other access and to allow for
removal of shipping frames. Unbolt steel shipping frames and remove from installation area.
Take adequate precautions when working with runways, columns and other components.
2. Post and crossbeam installation: Lay front and rear crossbeams on the floor in
approximate locations of the posts with safety locking releasing bar facing outside. Make
sure the front crossbeam has the lever. Place wood blocks under the crossbeams to raise
them approximately 100mm to 300mm (4’’ to 12").
3. Locate posts in their respective positions, and make sure the driver side front post has
mounting holes for power unit. At this time, DO NOT secure posts to concrete.
4. Set both pre-assembled crossbeams inside the slots of each post. The locking ladder at
each post is needed to be pulled out first and then inserted back into crossbeam. The
crossbeams should rest on a safety lock position (same height on all four posts).
5. Secure each locking ladder bottom to each bracket at bottom of the post.
6. Runway Installation: Before installing runways, pull the hydraulic cylinder rod fully out
of the cylinder bore (it is easier to use compressed air).
7. Mount runways on crossbeams. The runway with the cylinder mounted underneath is
placed on the same side of the lift as the power unit (left side). Also, cylinder rod should
face to the rear crossbeam (see diagram 1&2). Do not tighten bolts at this time. The
rolling jack channel on both runways should face inside (for optional rolling jack).
8. Verify that runways are parallel to one another and crossbeams are parallel to one another.
Measure diagonally to verify assembly is square. Tighten all bolts on left runway at both
crossbeams. Warning: OVER TIGNTEN these bolts may damage crossbeam.
9. Lifting Cable Installation: Both cables are pre-installed on runway pulleys. Each cable
end should be marked for their respective post. To understand cable routing scheme, refer
to picture on the next page and diagram 1&2 in part list.
10. Run each cable end to their respective post. Make sure each cable goes through all pulleys
on its route. If pulleys, shafts and spacers are needed to be disassembled during cable
installation, be sure to reinstall all parts in the same order they were removed. Secure
each cable end at the top of each post, with a 20mm washer and two M20 nuts.
11. Safety Releasing Rod Installation: Locate the connecting rod (approx. same length as
runway) and attach each end to at the each crossbeam underneath the driver side runway
by using bolts. Refer to diagram 4 for details.
