Set-Up Instructions

Follow these instructions to ensure a satisfactory set-up 

and operation of the lift.

•  After set-up and inspection of the lift, please return this 

booklet  to the literature package and give to lift owner/

operator.  Literature package should be kept attached to 

controls for easy access.

1.  Unloading:  Rotary’s Mobile Lift System units are shipped 

in the vertical position.

2.  After unloading, remove and discard protective 

wrapping. 

NOTE:  Unit is shipped without power unit fluid.  

Installation of fluid MUST be completed prior to lift 

operation.

  Failure to do so will result in air entering 

the system.  The unit will then have to be bled.

3.  To move the column, remove protective banding and 

wheel clamps from wheel jack.  The forklift brackets can be 

removed from the side of the column if desired.

4.  Open power unit cover by removing the 3 M8 BHCS 

(Button Head Cap Screw). Fill power unit tank with ISOVG32 

hydraulic oil. Tank capacity is approximately 10 - 12 quarts 

(11.5 liters) depending on model. Fill until fluid is full mark on 

side of the tank. Short filling may cause vapor lock to occur.

5.  If model ordered which includes batteries, if column 

includes lockable disconnect, remove wire tie securing lift 

in off position, if column does not have lockable disconnect 

one wire will need to be connected to wire up column.  For 

columns not supplied with batteries, install two batteries in 

location shown, Fig. 1.  Deep cycle marine batteries should 

be used, unless shop plans to keep column plugged in while 

in operation, in those shops AGM (Advanced Glass Mat) 

Batteries are recommended.  

Recommended Battery Specifications:

• 12V DC Sealed Deep Cycle Battery (*AGM if will be stay    

   plugged in).

• Group Size 24, 27 or 31.

• Min. 105 AH Capacity (At 20 AH Rate).

• Stud Terminals with Stainless Steel Wing nuts.

Battery wires are clearly marked/labeled inside the unit      

itself.

Install tie-down straps on batteries as shown. 

 

Close lift and re-install M8 BHCS removed earlier.
