Mounting the Platform and Power Unit
Drill ½” (12mm) mounting holes through their corresponding locations in
the four corners of each platform. To ensure the platforms do not move
during the drilling process, insert an anchor after each hole is drilled.
Make sure to clean all debris from holes before inserting anchors. (Fig. 4)
Determine the final location for the power unit. Ensure that this location
guarantees a safe distance from the lifting platforms for both the unit and
its operator. Once a safe location has been established, drill ¼” (6mm)
holes through corresponding locations in the base (Fig. 6). Insert anchors
as the holes are drilled to prevent any potential movement.
If the lift is being surface mounted, place the four loading ramps around
the lift as shown in figure 3. Like the platforms, the inner side of the ramps
should be flush with the pits edge, as shown in figure 5. Push the ramps up
against the lifting platforms on their front and back side. Create a small
gap (~1/2”) between the ramps and platforms to ensure that they do not
scrape against one another during lift operation. Drill ½” holes in the 4
anchoring points on the ramp and install anchors.

Custom Hose Runs
As mentioned previously (Section 3), it is the responsibility of the
customer to provide all necessary hydraulic hosing and components
needed for a custom hose run to account for the pit/work area layout.
The hoses used with this system are ¼” double braided with “8 light”
metric fittings.
Once the platforms and power unit have been fully
mounted to the concrete, begin this run of hydraulic hoses between
the power unit and the platforms. Use the diagram in Appendix 2 to
ensure that all connections are correct.
When the hoses have been run and properly connected, do a final
visual inspection to make sure that there are no kinks in the hoses, and
that no components of the hydraulic circuit are in any danger of being
crushed or broken by the movement of the lift. Cycle the lift through
several up/down cycles observing all hydraulic hoses and fittings for
leaks. If leaks are present, tighten fittings to eliminate. If leaks are still
present, contact Nussbaum Technical Service.
As the Quick Lube HF will most likely be
installed on an area over a basement, the
utmost attention must be paid to how it is
anchored. Many buildings use stress cast,
precast or post cable tensioned
concrete. Improper anchoring of the lift into
these surfaces can severely reduce the load
capacity. You must understand the kind of slab
you are anchoring to and follow the
appropriate anchoring techniques for it.
