22. Step #12 is to locate the Track Weldm’t. (44030, 2 pcs, ALIF-430-037-XX),
(44030E, 2 pcs, ALIF-430-237), (44030X, 2 pcs, ALIF-430-337) and position
them on top of the Cross Rails as shown in Fig. #5F. Hold 62” inside Track
Weldm’t. and centered on the Cross Rails side to side. Position tracks on the
Cross Rails about 6 1/2” from the safety latches. Raise the lift up about 12”.
Place a level on the Cross Rail and level the Cross Rail by adjusting the nut on
the Offside Leg threaded chain connector.
23. After leveling Cross Rails, adjust and plumb the Offside legs so that the Cross
Rail chains in the Offside legs hang straight. Use a level. Cycle the lift all the
way up and down making sure that each corner is running freely. The Offside
legs may vary from being plumb slightly. It is more important that the lift moves
up and down freely. Adjust and plumb Cross Rails and legs as necessary by
shimming the base plate. When you are positive the lift is moving freely, you
may finally tighten the anchor bolts in the Offside Legs. After tightening the
anchor bolts cycle the lift to make sure the lift is still moving freely.
24. Step #13, finish the track assembly (
see Fig. 4A
). Locate and install track clamps
front stops, ramp bracket and pin ramp assembly. If 3 feet track extensions are
purchased with lift then see Fig. #4B. Track extensions may be purchased for
both ends or just one end of the lift. If only one set is purchased, the preference
of the manufacture is to install them at the ramp end of the lift.
25. Raise and lower lift repeatedly to purge air trapped in hydraulic lines and to
adjust Cross Rails. Each Cross Rail must be synchronized as the lift moves up
and down.
26. Refill tank with hydraulic oil and lift is ready to operate.
27. Cycle the lift fully three times to bleed the air from the hydraulic system.
28. After completing the general installation, and confirming that all columns are
plumb and square. The anti-sway devices can be installed (
see Fig. 3
).
30. Raise the lift to a comfortable working height. Install each assembly at the
outside corner of each cross rail with the hardware supplied. The cross rails are
pre-drilled and tapped. Only hand tighten the assemblies at this time.
31. With the lift in the completely lowered position set each assembly so that contact
is made between the slide block and the column. Cycle the lift to full stroke to
insure that the slide blocks are set to the widest point encountered during travel.
Finish the installation by tightening all the hardware.
32. Demonstrate the operation of the lift to the owner and review correct and
safe lifting procedure, using the “Lifting It Right “ booklet as a guide.
33. Complete the installation Checklist/Warranty Validation Questionnaire with
the owner. Review the terms of the warranty with the owner. Complete the
warranty registration card, and return the card and a copy of the
questionnaire to Challenger Lifts Inc.
