Autostacker™ Parking Lift

Attach the Bottom and Top Connector Tubes
The Bottom Connector Tube holds the bottom of the Autostacker structure together. It is hollow,
allowing the Hydraulic Hoses and the Return Line to be routed through it.
Each end of the Bottom Connector Tube connects to the corresponding end of a Leg Assembly base.
The Top Connector Tube holds the top of the Autostacker structure together. Each end of the Top
Connector Tube connects to the corresponding end of a Platform arm.
If you have a
Multi-Autostacker
setup and plan to position the Control Stand at the Rear of the Lift,
the Bottom Connector Tube has a Window on one end that needs to be oriented correctly to fit your
floor plan; see
Multi-Autostacker for more information.
To attach the Bottom and Top Connector Tubes
:
1. Move the Bottom Connector Tube into position: on the ground at the front of the Lift.
The Bolt locations on the Bottom Connector Tube need to line up with the holes on the Base of
each Leg Assembly.
Important : The Bottom Connector Tube must be oriented so that the smaller gap (from the
top Bolts to the top of the tube) must be at the top and the larger gap (from the
bottom Bolts to the bottom of the tube) must be at the bottom.
If you cannot
push the Bolts through the Bottom Connector Tube and into the
holes on the base of the Leg Assembly, it is probably because you
have the Bottom Connector Tube oriented wrong.
Not all components shown. View is front of Autostacker facing towards Rear.
2. Take four Bolts from the Parts Box, then use them to connect one end of the Bottom Connector
Tube to the base of one of the Leg Assemblies.
3. Take four more Bolts from the Parts Box, then use them to connect the other end of the Bottom
Connector Tube to the base of the other Leg Assembly.
4. Use a Forklift or Shop Crane to lift the two Leg Assemblies onto the lowest Safety Lock.
Raising the Leg Assemblies gives you some extra room as you continue installing the Autostacker.
5. Take three Bolts from the Parts Box, then use them to connect one end of the Top Connector
Tube to the corresponding end of a Platform arm.
Tip The Top Connector Tube is heavy; you need at least two people to connect it (one
person to hold the tube in place, one to connect the tube using the Bolts) or use a
Forklift or Shop Crane to hold it in place while you connect it.
6. Take three more Bolts and use them to connect the other end of the Top Connector Tube to the
corresponding end of a Platform Arm.
