STEP 2: (Unloading & Unpacking)
1. After unloading the lift, place it near the intended installation location.
2. Remove the shipping bands and packing materials from the unit.
3. Remove the packing brackets and bolts holding the two columns together. (Do not discard bolts, they may
be used in the assembling of the lift )
4. Take out the overhead beam, uprights, lifting arms, swivel pads, height extensions, hardware box, hoses,
covers, etc., from the column. Check the quantity of each item with the parts list. If any missing, please
contact with your dealer at once.
STEP 3: (Site Layout)
1. Determine which side will be the approach side.
2. Now determine which side you prefer the power unit to be located on.
The MAIN column has the power-unit mounting bracket attached to the
side, as shown in (Fig. 4).
Note: the power unit column can be located on either side. It is helpful
to try and locate the power side on the driver side of the vehicle when
loaded on the lift, in order to save steps during operation.

3. Once a location is determined, use a carpenter’s chalk line to layout a grid for the post locations.
4. After the post locations are marked, use a chalk or crayon to make an outline of the posts on the floor at
each location using the post base plates as a template.
5. Double check all dimensions and make sure that the layout is perfectly square.
STEP 4: (Installing MAIN COLUMN w/ Power Unit Bracket)
1. Before proceeding, double check measurements and make certain that the bases of each column are
square and aligned with the chalk line.
2. Assemble the uprights to the columns (Fig 5.). Raise the column assembly to a vertical position (Fig. 6).
