STEP 2: (Unloading and 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 up-rights, lifting arms, pads, accessory box, hoses, etc, from the column. Check the quantity of
every 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 (Fig. 5).
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. (See Fig. 3)
Fig. 5
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 the MAINSIDE Column)
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 top plate to the column. Raise the column to a vertical
position (See Fig.6 )
