SELECTING SITE: 

Before installing your new lift, check the following. 

 

OVERHEAD OBSTRUCTIONS

: The area where the lift will be located should be 

free of overhead obstructions such as heaters, building supports, electrical lines 

etc. 

 

FLOOR REQUIREMENTS: 

Visually inspect the site where the lift is to be 

installed and check for cracked or defective concrete. This lift must be installed 

on a solid level concrete floor with no more than 2 degrees of slope. A level floor 

is suggested for proper installation and level lifting. If a floor is of questionable 

slope, consider a survey of the site and/or the possibility of pouring a new level 

concrete slab. This lift is designed to be installed on a minimum of 4” thick, 

3500psi, steel reinforced concrete. Do not install this lift on asphalt, wood, or 

any other surface other than described. This lift is only as strong as the 

foundation on which it is installed. 

DO NOT 

install this lift outdoors unless special consideration has been made to 

protect the power unit from weather conditions. 

DO NOT 

begin installation with lift close to wall. It is necessary to leave 

adequate clearance for installing safety linkage rods. Allow 60” for clearance. 

(See Fig.1) 

 

NOTE 

The power unit can be placed in one of two locations, front left or rear 

right 

(See Fig. 1) 

 

Unpacking: 

Unpacked the lift close to the installation site.  Layout a chalk line 

on the floor following the floorplan 

(See Fig.1). 

Stand the columns in place making sure to position the power unit mounting 

bracket at the correct location and the lock blocks facing outward.
