INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
STEP 1 : After unloading the lift, place it near the intended installation location.
STEP 2
: Remove the shipping bands and packing materials from the unit. The Power Unit will
be unpacked from the top. Note: Be careful not to drop power unit.
STEP 3
: Remove the packing brackets and bolts holding the two columns together (do not
discard bolts; they are used in the assembly of the lift).
STEP 4 : Once the power unit column location is decided, insure that the proper lift placement is
observed from walls and obstacles. Also check the ceiling height for clearance in this location.
Note: the power unit column can be located on either side. It is helpful to try and locate
the power side with the passenger side of the vehicle when loaded on the lift to save
steps during operation.
STEP 5
: Install the top plate onto the top of the columns. NOTE: 1" = 25.4mm

STEP 6
: Position the columns facing each other 138-1/2” outside base plates. Square the
columns by measuring diagonally from corner points on base plates (within 1/4”). See plan and
elevation drawings on page 4 for detailed drawing.
STEP 7:
Use the existing holes in column base plate as a guide for drilling the 3/4” diameter
holes into the concrete. Drill the anchor holes, installing anchors as you go. Verify drive over
plate will fit between column baseplates before anchoring second column.
NOTE:
Drilling thru concrete slab (recommended) will allow the anchor to be driven thru the
bottom of slab, if the threads are damaged or if the lift will need to be relocated.
CAUTION!!
Anchors must be at least 6” from the edge of the slab or any seam.
1. Use a concrete hammer drill with a carbide tip, solid drill bit the same diameter as
the anchor, 3/4”. (.775 to .787 inches diameter). Do not use excessively worn bits or
bits which have been incorrectly sharpened.
