NOTE: The 1/2”

4 ½” lg. wedge anchor bolts supplied must have a
minimum embedment of 2” into concrete floor.
NOTE: If anchors do not tighten to required torque, OR project more
than 2 ½” above the concrete surface due to floor slope,
contact a foundation engineer to determine the best course of
Check fluid level of lift power unit and refill if needed. If refill was needed, inspect all fittings,
hoses and seals. Tighten, repair or replace as required.
Change hydraulic fluid every 2 years.
8.9 HYDRAULIC CYLINDER
Inspect the hydraulic cylinder mounting to the runway. Inspect cylinder and hydraulic hose for
leaks. Repair or replace as required.
Check and tighten the hydraulic cylinder rod nuts holding the cable flange.
Inspect bolts holding anti ‐ rotation bar onto cable flange and tighten if required. (If applicable)
Inspect sliders on anti ‐ rotation bar for excessive wear or damage. Replace if required. (If
applicable)
Failure to do so will lead to reduced service life, which could result in
property damage and/or personal injury.
8.10 RUNWAYS
8.10.1 CHECK RUNWAYS
Check level of runways on the floor, on the locks and on the cables: Refer to Section 6.10 .
Adjust as required.
Check runways for damage or abnormal deformation. If such conditions exist, contact Snap ‐ on
Equipment Technical Support.
8.10.2 INSPECT JACK BEAM TRACKS
Inspect rolling jack / oil drain pan tracks for cleanliness, corrosion, excessive wear or damage.
Clean dirty tracks. Worn or damaged tracks should be repaired immediately.
8.11 COLUMNS
8.11.1 CHECK COLUMNS
Check columns for corrosion, giving special attention to the area at the base of the column.
Check severely corroded areas by pecking with an awl or welder’s chipping hammer. If column
is corroded through at any point, it must be replaced immediately. If not corroded through,
remove old paint and rust scale, then coat with a high quality corrosion resistant paint. Clean
and lubricate glide blocks.
8.11.2 CHECK COLUMN ANCHORS
Check column anchor bolts for tightness (if loose, re ‐ torque to 55 ft ‐ lb). If anchors do not
tighten to required torque, or continue to loosen, contact Snap ‐ on Equipment Technical
Support.
Verify proper embedment of anchors after tightening.
