STEP 17
(Leveling / Synchronizing)
1. Using an engineer’s automatic Level (transit), locate the
Level, at a convenient location in the shop that allows an
unobstructed view of all four corners of the runways.
2. Follow the Level manufacturer’s instructions for proper
setup of the Level. Be sure it is adjusted level in all direc-
tions.
3. Raise the lift approximately 30”- 40”. Then lower the lift
until all primary safeties are engaged in each column and
the runways are completely resting on the primary safeties.
4. Place a Level target on the right/front corner of the run-
way. (See Fig. 17.1)
5. Beginning with “A” position, sight the level to the target and
mark the number or the graduation on the inch scale of the
target that aligns to the cross hairs of the Level, (See Fig. 17.1)
NOTE:
Use a pencil, marking pen or attach a paper clip
onto the target scale at the crosshair reference.
6. Next, move the target and place it at point “B” on the
runway. (See Fig. 17.1)
7. Rotate the Level and focus on the target scale.
8. Adjust the adjustment nut on the safety ladder bar at the
top of the column at “B” until the crosshairs of the Level
align to reference mark on the target scale. (See Fig. 17.1)
9. Repeat steps locating the target assembly at points “C”
and “D” and adjusting safety ladders at each corresponding
column until the reference mark on the target scale
is on the crosshairs of the Level. The runways are now level
at all four points. (See Fig. 17.1)
10. To complete the leveling procedures, lock each safety
ladder jam nut tightly against bottom of column top plate.
(See Fig. 17.2.)
11. Next, load vehicle onto the lift.
12. Raise the lift to full height. Listen and watch as the
primary safeties engage the safety ladder. Synchronize by
adjusting the cables so that all four latches click at same
time. Make necessary adjustments to the cables allowing
compensation for stretch.
