INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
See the Installation and Parts Reference section of this manual for diagrams and parts lists that
will assist you during the installation process (pages 15 – 26). Use these diagrams and parts
lists together with the following written instructions. Insure the lift installation complies with
ANSI/ALI/ALIS, Safety Requirements for Installation and Service of Automotive Lifts.
1. With columns laying on the ground
(carriage side up)
, tightly fasten one column extension to
one column using bolts, washers and nuts provided
(reference diagram #1).
Use the
appropriate bolt hole locations to achieve either a 148½ inch or 138½ inch overall height.
Repeat this procedure with second column.
Note: Model TLS210SXR1/3 has a 172” overall height.
2. Layout all pieces of the overhead crossmember on the floor and fasten tightly together
using bolts, washers and nuts provided
(reference diagram #2).
3. Identify all parts for overhead safety shut-off bar
(reference diagram #2).
Tightly fasten
these parts to overhead crossmember with bolts, washers and nuts provided.
4. Raise
(stand up)
each column so that its baseplate is located on the floor marking you made
earlier. Confirm that baseplate angles and measurements between columns match lift
specifications on page 5.
Use extreme caution to insure the columns do not fall
over.
Secure baseplate of the most level column by installing one only anchor bolt.
5. For optimum safety, two installers should lift and secure the overhead crossmember to
both columns using bolts, washers and nuts provided
(reference diagram #2).
Hand
tighten all crossmember nuts and bolts. Final tightening is completed in step 9.
6. Using two 4 ft. levels and required shims, level each column vertically on all four sides
(reference diagram #3).
Use extreme caution to insure the columns do not fall
over.
IMPORTANT:
When leveling each column using anchor bolts provided, do not
use more than ¾ inch
(19 mm)
of shims under any area of the baseplate. Use a 4 ft. level
to confirm the overhead crossmember is also level and at 90 degrees to both columns.
7. Drill and install all anchor bolts, washers and nuts
(reference diagram #3).
Insure that each
nut is torqued to 150 ft-lbs
(204Nm)
.
This should be checked monthly.
8. One equalizing cable comes partially installed on each carriage. Before feeding a cable up
its column to the overhead crossmember, insure the cable is properly seated around the
lower pulley at the base of each column
(reference diagram #4).
Route each cable up its
column, over the appropriate pulleys in the overhead crossmember, and lower it down to
the opposite carriage. Insure both equalizing cables are properly seated in overhead
crossmember pulleys. Thread one nut to its farthest point on each equalizing cable.
Insert threaded end into appropriate location on the carriage. Install and hand tighten
second nut to secure each cable. Final equalizing cable adjustment is step 17. Install
two bolts and nuts to prevent unintentional cable displacement
(reference diagram #4).
9. Completely tighten both sides of the overhead crossmember to its column.
10. Identify component parts for the safety release cable
(reference diagram #5).
Install
safety release cable so that safety locks in both columns will completely disengage when
lift is lowered. Final safety release cable adjustment is step 16.
11. Identify parts to install arms
(reference diagram #6).
Install all 4 arms and arm pins.
Secure each arm pin by inserting roll pin provided. Arm restraint adjustment is step
12. Install rubber mounts on powerpack bracket
(reference diagram #7).
Keeping these
rubber mounts between the powerpack and the mounting bracket, securely fasten
powerpack to the mounting bracket.
