Anchoring Tips
Check the following diagram for the footprint of columns with anchor bolts positions.
Use a concrete rotary hammer drill with 3/4” drill bit. Do not use excessively worn or
incorrectly sharpened drill bits.
Keep the drill in a perpendicular position when drilling. Let the drill do the work. Do not
apply excessive pressure.
Lift the drill up occasionally and clean residue in the hole.
Drill the holes 1" deeper than the length of the anchor bolts. Drill through the concrete
is recommended (when you move the lift to a new location, you may hammer down the
anchor bolts instead of cutting them off).
For better holding, power blow dust from the hole.
Place a flat washer and hex nut over threaded end of anchor, leaving approximately
1/2" of thread exposed. Carefully tap anchor. Do not damage threads. Tap anchor into
the concrete until nut and flat washer are against base plate. Do not use an impact
wrench to tighten. Tighten the nut two or three turns after the concrete is cured (28 day
minimum cure). If the concrete is very hard, tighten only one or two turns.

Installation Instructions
Step 1 (Preparation)
Please carefully remove all the parts from the package.
◦Remove any loose cables, hoses, part boxes, hydraulic power unit, etc. if they are
inside the columns or banded to the columns.
◦Remove the power unit box and four swing arms.
◦Remove the bolts holding the two columns together. Remove top and bottom
columns out of the skid and discard the steel rack.
◦Remove two column extensions from two columns.
Compare the parts with the part list (at the end of the manual) and contact us if there
are any parts missing.
Please read the installation requirements and anchoring tips in previous pages for
concrete requirement, layout, and drill holes for anchor bolts. The area where the lift
will be installed should be free of overhead obstructions such as heater, building
support, or electrical lines.
Once a location is determined, use a carpenter’s chalk line to layout a grid for the
column locations
After the post locations are marked, use a chalk to make an outline of the posts on the
floor at each location using the post base plates as a template.
Double check all dimensions and make sure that the layout is perfectly square.
6
Step 2 (Installing Columns)
Bolt each column extension to each column.
Determine the side that power unit column will be located. The power unit column can
be located on either side. Keep in mind this is the column where your main electrical
power supply will be connected. It is recommended to locate the power side with the
passenger side of the vehicle when loaded on the lift in order to save steps during
operation.
Double check measurements and make sure that the base plate of each column is
square and aligned with the chalk line.
Stand up the power unit column (the one a power unit bracket welded on) and position
it inside the chalked lines. The column should face straight toward the other column.
Stand up the other column opposite to the main power unit column inside the chalk
lines.
Using a tape measure, measure from back corner to back corner of the base plate to
assure columns are square to each other. Adjust the columns as needed to obtain the
best fit.
Drill anchor holes with 3/4 inch drill bit into concrete following Anchoring Tips on page
4.
Assemble washers and nuts on the anchors and then tap into each hole with a rubber
hammer until washers rest against the base plate. Do not tighten anchor bolts at this
time.
Use a level to check the level of each column. Place horseshoe shims under the base
plate (near the anchor bolts) as needed. This will prevent bending column bases.
Tighten 10 anchor bolts and recheck for level. Hammer the anchor bolts all the way
down. Tighten anchor bolts using a torque wrench to 125 ft. / lb. DO NOT use an
impact wrench when tightening the anchor bolts!
Manually lift the carriage on each column about waist high. Let carriages down and
allow them to set on safety latch stops. Make sure they are at the same height. Double
check the latches before working under the carriages.

Step 3 (Installing Overhead Beam)
Assemble overhead beam by connecting two short beam pieces with the connector.
Bolt two pieces the connector together
Bolt the overhead beam to two columns. Make sure to bolt them together by installing
the bolts from inside the beam to avoid interference with the cables when operating the
lift.
Step 4 (Installing Equalizing Cables)
Take the equalizer cables. Using vise grips and a socket, tighten the cable nut half way
down the threads.
Stand in front of each carriage and find two holes on the top of the carriage.
Take the threaded end (the end without nut) and run it up inside the carriage through
the front hole on the right side of the carriage. See figures below for cable routing. Do
not tighten cables at this time. Just start them on the treads.
8
Step 5 (Installing Power Unit and Routing Hydraulic Hoses)
Mount the power unit onto the main side column with four hex bolts.
Connect two 4 1/4" fittings to both cylinders. Connect T-fitting to the power unit.
Connect short hydraulic hose to the power unit and the cylinder in power unit post.
Connect long hydraulic hose to the power unit and the cylinder in the opposite post.
Run the long hose over the overhead beam.
See figures below for hose layout and routing to the power unit. Do not over tighten the
fittings.

Step 6 (Installing Swing Arms)
Locate the 4 swing arms and swing arm pins. Take one of the arms and insert it over
the hole in the carriage torsion tube. Line up the holes and insert the pin. Repeat for
the three other arms.
Step 7 (Electrical Connection to Power Unit)
Warning: the wiring must comply with local code. Find a certi ied
electrician to connect the power unit to a power outlet. Protect each circuit
with a time delay use or circuit breaker.
The car lift uses a 220V single phase power unit. The running amperage is 10A.
Recommend a 30A breaker and a 10-gauge wire.
Yellow/Green is ground wire.
For 220V single split phase with two hot wires, wire blue to Hot 1 and wire brown to
Hot 2.
For 220V power from one hot and one neutral, wire blue to neutral and brown to hot.
See the figure below for the reference.
