INSTALLATION & OPERATION MANUAL 

Your lift is designed for many years of trouble-free service when properly installed & 

maintained. Please take the time to read this installation manual before proceeding.  

INSTALLATION TIPS 

 

This Lift is built from very heavy metal material. User proper lifting techniques when lifting individual pieces. Use 

plenty of help when moving lift pieces. It is a good idea to wear work gloves to protect your hands.  

 

This lift is designed to be installed on a minimum of 6

 thick, 3500 psi, wire or fiberglass reinforced concrete. Do 

not install this lift on asphalt, wood, or any other surface other than described. A level surface is recommended.  

 

Do not install this lift over expansion joints or cracks. Check with your qualified engineer or architect.  

 

Do  not  install  lift  over  a  basement  or  on  any  level  other  than  ground  level  (i.e.  second  floor)  without  written 

authorization from your building engineer or architect.  

 

Improper installation can cause damage or injury. Manufacturer will assume no liability for loss or damage of any 

kind, expressed or implied, resulting from improper installation or use this product.  

 

Read this installation manual in its entirely before attempting to install this lift.  

LIFT STRUCTURE INSTALLATION  

 

Determine where the lift is to be installed. Make sure there is enough room in front, behind, above and on the sides 

of the lift. See (Figure 1) for proper dimensions.  

 

Layout  with  a chalk  line  your  concrete  floor  to  the  proper  layout  you  want  and  check  for  proper  clearances.  Se 

(Figure 3) for proper dimensions. 

 

Remove any loose cables, hoses, part boxes, hydraulic power unit, etc. if they are inside the columns or banded to 

the columns.  

 

Remove the power unit box, four swing arms from the lift, next remove the bolts holding the two columns together. 

Remove the top column from the bottom columns out of the shipping crate and discard the steel.  

 

Slide the overhead extensions to the top of each column. Bolt overhead extensions to each column. 

 

Stand up the power unit column(the one with power unit bracket welded on it) and position it inside t he chalked 

lines to your chalked out dimensions. It is recommended that this column be placed on the passenger side of the car, but it 

can go on the driver

s side if desired. Keep in mind this is the column where your  main electrical power supply will be 

connected. The column should face straight toward the other column.  

 

Stand up the other column just opposite of the main power unit column inside the chalk lines as shown in (Figure 1). 

 

Using a tape measure, measure from back corner to back corner of the base plate to assure columns are square to 

each other. Adjust as necessary to obtain best fit and still provide good passage.  

 

Now drilling the holes(use 3/4 inch drill bit) for anchors and places anchors as you go. Do not tighten anchor bolts 

at this time, Hammer drill all the way through the cement floor.  

 

Recheck the level of each column and place horseshoe shims underneath the base plate and around the anchor bolt 

wherever they are needed. Tighten 10 anchor bolts and recheck for level and plum. Hammer the anchor bolts all the way 

down. Tighten anchor bolts using a torque wrench to 125 ft. / lb. (DO NOT use an impact gun when tightening the anchor 

bolts!) 6

 of embedment is the minimum requirement for reinforced concrete.  

 

If you have a straight overhead beam, skip this step. If not, your beam is assembled by two short bars. Bolt two bars 

together through one steel sleeve.
