What oil do I use?
ISO grade 46 oil, Shell Telus 46, Castrol, Nulon or equivalent. If you use thinner
oil (e.g: 32 grade) you may find that your seals will leak prematurely. Oil is readily
available from Super Cheap auto and other leading automotive outlets.
What is the easiest way to add oil?
Use a long nose automatic transmission funnel from your auto shop. They are
typically about 600mm long and fit into the filler hole nicely. If you trim the end of
the funnel to match the filler hole size the oil will flow quickly.
How much oil do I need ?
10 litres of oil is required by the hoists, 20 litre drums of oil are recommended as
there is not much difference in price.
How do I install anchor bolts?
Different models use different types of anchor bolts. In general our 2 post hoists
use 20mm anchor bolts, 4 post hoists use 18mm anchor bolts or loxons as
described for HAPP 90.
Before drilling holes ensure you know the size of the
anchor bolt and select drill bits accordingly.
The HAPP 90 and HAPP 25 come with Loxons which require a 24mm hole.
It is strongly recommended you use a quad tip masonary drill bit in a masonary
drill.
As a reference you can buy all the bits and drill from Bunnings warehouse for a
reasonable price. The
quad tip bit they supply provides a hole that will take our
equivalent sized bolts
. Do not use cheap blade style masonry bits.
Make sure you measure the bolts supplied with your hoist before buying the bits.
You may elect to change the bolts to a suit your application. For example if you
have a HAPP 25 or 90 that is not going to be moved, use our anchor bolts instead
of the loxon. If you have deep concrete we can supply longer anchor bolts also.
HAPP will be happy to exchange your bolts for others if you like.
The bolts must be a firm fit into the hole, it may require a solid firm hit with a
decent hammer to drive them through, make sure you put the nut and washers on
before hitting them thru, in case you mis hit and damage the thread.
Do not drill pilot holes in cement, measure the bolt size and use the appropriate
bit. Some of the bolts have the size stamped on them, but they are hard to find.
Note : Do not use sleeve anchor type bolts with automotive hoists.
Floor plate hoist, what is the white connector on motor for, or my motor is wired up
but will not start?
