5. INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
Insure the lift installation complies with ANSI/ALI/ALIS, Safety Requirements for
installation and Service of Automotive Lifts.
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. Find the end of the hose that is mounted to the cylinder and tighten the elbow that attaches
the hose to the side of the runway using the nut. Check the fitting at the cylinder bottom
and make sure it is tight.
3. Pull or push the plate on the end of the cylinder to make the cylinder rod out of the cylinder
by about 40’’. Make sure that the 1/2’’ plate is threaded tight against the cylinder rod. Also,
be sure that the 1/4’’ plate is on the rod and hand tighten the lock nut on the rod.
4. Unbolt the top runway (with cylinder underneath) from the shipping frame. Secure runway
with a hoist if necessary. Place the runway in the bay with the hydraulic fitting facing
toward the outside. Ensure the hydraulic fitting is near the power side column position.
5. Unbolt the four Vertical Columns from the shipping frame and place the column with the
power unit mounting bracket at the far left corner from the bay entrance. Stand these
Vertical Columns on their base plate by following the pre installation diagram (pg. 8).
Ensure each Vertical Column Top Plate has the longer side, with the hole, oriented
towards the inside of the lift layout ( see Diagram#8)
6. Unpack the bottom runway (no cylinder). Place the two crossbeam at each end of the lift
with the pulley facing inside. Remove the shipping brackets from the bottom runway and
turn over placing the runway in the bay next to the other runway with the “L” shaped
edges facing each other.
7. Remove the top plates, and slide each crossbeam into the front or rear two columns.
8. Unpack the Lock Ladders from the package and slide them into the precut slot on the slider
(item # 15, diagram #7) inside each column. After removing the top nut from the lock
ladder and now you are ready to install the top plates on to the columns (see diagram #3).
9. Secure top cap and lock ladder assemblies together with washer and nut. Position the
crossbeams at the third lowest locking position on all columns.
10. Square the lift by following pre installation diagram. Confirm the baseplates distances.
Measure diagonal distance between front driver side column and rear passenger side.
Compare this distance to the other baseplates diagonal distance. This should be within
1/2’’ to allow some forgiveness to bolt on runways.
