4. TOOLS REQUIRED & PRE INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
TOOLS REQUIRED
 30ft. measuring tape, chalk line and chalk, 2 x 4 ft. level (laser level also suggested)
 Wooden blocks, Step Ladder
 Work stands - 4
(runway set-up and installation)
 Metric and SAE wrenches sets, ratchet sets and Allen key sets
 Crow bar, hammer and screwdrivers
 Rotary hammer drill c/w ¾ inch diameter masonry drill bit
 3 Gallon of Hydraulic Oil (ISO 32)
PRE-INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
Before proceeding with installation, read the installation manual and insure all instructions are
fully understood and all component parts listed on page 3 are accounted for.
Identify bay center line near the front and mark the floor. Also mark center of the bay entrance.
Connect these two points with a chalk line "A". Refer to diagram on the next page for minimum
clearance from bay entrance door and draw a second chalk line "C" at 90° to the centerline “A”.
Measure 175.4’’ (8000lb lift) or 190.6’’ (9000lb lift) from line “C” and mark front baseplate line
“B”. Make sure “B” is perpendicular to “A” and has enough (24’’) clearance to the front obstacles,
e.g. wall and any other equipment. Refer to diagram and draw line “D” and “E” symmetrically to
“A”. Distance between “D” and “E” is 103.6’’ (8000lb lift) or 109.5’’ (9000lb lift). “D” and “E” shall
both perpendicular to “B” and ”C”. Line “B”, “C”, “D” and “E” are baseplate outlines. These
locations will be used to initially position each column, however,
the 4 most critical
measurements will be inside column to inside column measurements confirmed later in
the installation process.
Confirm that the column baseplate locations you have marked are a minimum distance of 6 inches
from any floor seam. Do not install if floor has cracks or deterioration that could affect lift stability.
The shop/lift owner is responsible for confirming there are no obstructions in the installation area
like floor drains, under floor piping or electrical conduit that could be damaged or prevent safe
lift installation and secure lift anchoring. Check ceiling for beams or heating ducts and walls for
protruding structures, etc.
( overhead clearance must be the height of both vehicles added
together plus 8’ ’) . Insure that the lift can be safely installed in the position you have marked out
on the bay floor.
INSTALLATION NOTE: Installation Step #20/#21 require at least 60” of clearance to
allow the installer to insert the required linkages. If room does not permit, the lift should
be assembled in a temporary position, and using the wheel dollies provided with the lift,
moved into final position after Step #21
