Add the Platform Sections and the Drive-Up Ramp
The Platform sections, when installed, create the Platform. The Drive-Up Ramp lets you drive a vehicle
onto the Platform. The Platform sections are most easily installed from underneath. Raise the
Autostacker to a height that is good for you.
⚠
WARNING Do not go under the Autostacker until it is securely on a Safety Lock.
Start next to the Tire Trough. Add one Platform section at a time. Put each one in place, then use the
Nuts and Bolts to secure them. There are three Nuts and Bolts per Platform section: one on each end,
to connect the Platform section to the structure, and one in the middle, to attach the Platform section
to the previous section.
When you get to the Drive-Up Ramp, it secures only on the sides, not in the middle.
To add the Platform sections and the Drive-Up Ramp :
1. Starting next to the Tire Trough, put a Platform section next to the Tire Trough and then slide the
end closest to the Tire Trough under it slightly; bolt the ends of the Platform section into the
Platform Arm.
2. Put the next Platform section into place against the first one.
You know the two are oriented correctly when the holes line up.
3. Attach the Platform sections to each other by putting in a Nut and Bolt in their center holes.
It is not necessary to put in all of the Nuts and Bolts now; wait until all of the sections are in place.
4. Attach the rest of the Platform sections to each other, one at a time, keeping them in place by
putting a Nut and Bolt in the center holes.
5. When the last Platform section is in place, move the Drive-Up Ramp into place.
If it makes installation easier, you can lower the lift to a more appropriate height.
⚠
WARNING The Drive-Up Ramp is heavy. Move it into position using a lifting device such as a
forklift or crane. If this is not an option, use at least two people to move it.
Do not
allow just one person to move the Drive-Up Ramp
; they could be injured.
The end of the last Platform section and the top of the Drive-Up Ramp need to overlap.
6. When the Drive-Up Ramp is correctly oriented, connect it to the Platform Arm using three Nuts and
Bolts on each side.
7. Check to make sure all of the Platform pieces and the Drive-Up Ramp are correctly positioned.
8. Put in the rest of the Nuts and Bolts that attach the Platform sections to each other.
9. Push the Rubber Padding up into place along the outside Rail of each Leg, at the Rear of the Lift.
The Rubber Padding help in case you bump your head when passing underneath the Platform;
they come in the Parts Box and are about 38 inches long.
Not all components shown. Drawing is a side view of the Platform. One Rubber Edge per Leg.
