4. INSTALLATION
4.1 Remote Power Unit Installation
1. The remote power unit is to be located in an area protected from the elements and should be installed
prior to the lift to facilitate lift operation during installation into the pit.
2. The remote contractor power unit is equipped with power unit mounting brackets and can be wall or
floor mounted using these brackets. If equipped with a vertical power unit, optional power unit
mounting brackets must be used for wall mounting.
3. The electrical work is to be done in accordance with local codes by a qualified electrician. See the
“Maintenance” section for the standard wiring diagram.
4. If permanent electrical work is not complete, some means of temporary power with an on/off device for
the motor will be required.
5. Fill the reservoir with oil per instructions in the
"Maintenance” section.
4.2 Power Unit Wiring
4.2.1 Contractor Remote Power Unit
1. The Contractor Power Unit utilizes a 5 HP / 208-230-
460 Volt / 60 hertz / 3 phase “Super-Torque”
intermittent duty motor with (one full lift cycle per 2 minute period) driving a high pressure positive
displacement pump assembly with an internal relief valve, check valve and down solenoid valve.
2. Because an Autoquip "Super-Torque" motor actually delivers substantially more horsepower than the
nameplate rating, it must always be wired for heavier current-draw than standard motors of the same
nameplate rating. However, because of the "Super-
Torque" motor’s starting efficiency and superior
running characteristics, circuit components do not have to be as large as for standard motors of equal
delivered horsepower.
3.
4.2.2 Heavy Duty Remote Power Unit
1. The Vertical 'HD' Power unit utilizes a 5 HP/ 208-230-460 Volt / 60 hertz / 3 phase Heavy Duty motor,
(with a 30 minute continuous duty rating). The power unit is coupled with a high-pressure positive
displacement gear pump, and Autoquip Corporation’s patented Deltatrol valve assembly.
2. The motor connection diagram should be referenced in connecting the motors to a power source.
Remember that heavy wire must be used all the way to the power source.

NOTE : For larger horsepower motors, consult factory.
