Pre Installation Procedures
Before proceeding with installation, read the installation manual and insure all instructions
are fully understood and all component parts are accounted for.
1. In the installation area, identify the center line of the bay and mark the floor. Also mark
the center of bay entrance door. Connect these two points with a short chalk line in the
area where lift will be located. Draw a second chalk line at 90° to locate the positions of
both lift columns
(refer to lift dimensions and bay layout on page 6)
. Insure each lift column is
equal distance from bay centerline and each baseplate maintains a minimum distance of
6 inches from any floor seam. Do not install if floor has cracks or deterioration that could
affect lift stability. The shop owner is responsible for confirming there are no obstructions
in the installation area like floor drains, under floor piping or electrical conduit that could
be damaged or prevent safe lift installation and secure lift anchoring. Check ceiling for
beams or heating ducts and walls for protruding structures, etc.. Model TLS210SRR 1/3
has two possible overall heights - 148½ inches or 138½ inches. Model TLS210SXR 1/3
has an overall height of 172”. Confirm that the overall height you intend to install will fit
in the bay. Insure that the lift can be safely installed in the position you have marked out on
the bay floor.
2. Place the lift on wooden blocks so that the steel shipping frames can be removed.
3. Remove protective wrapping. Clear installation area of all packaging materials.
4. Unbolt steel shipping frames and remove from installation area.
5. Carefully remove top column and lay on the floor
(carriage side up)
.
6. Carefully remove column extensions (2 pc), cross-member (3 pc), overhead safety bar,
arms (4 pc), powerpack and hardware box from the lower column.
7. Identify powerpack column (reference diagram #1). Move (carriage side up) to
appropriate location placing the baseplate end on your floor marks. Similarly, move the
second column to the opposite location.
