IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Two Post Lifts
1. Any freight damage must be noted on the freight bill before signing and reported to the freight carrier
with a freight claim established. Identify the components and check for shortages. If shortages are
discovered, please contact the Distributor / Sales Rep. in your area for service.
2. Consult building owner and / or architect’s plans when applicable to establish the best lift location. The
lift should be located on a relatively level floor with 4 in. minimum thickness, 3000-psi concrete slab
that has been properly cured. There can be no cracks in the slab within 36 in. of the base plate
location, and no seams in the foundation within 6 in. of its location! Remember: any structure
is only as strong as the foundation on which it is located!

IMPORTANT! Make sure you have extra help or heavy duty lifting equipment when
unloading and assembling the lift.

3. Please read the safety procedures and operating instructions in this manual before operating lift. Keep
this manual near lift at all times. Make sure all operators read this manual.
4. The lift should be located on a relatively level floor of less than 3 degrees slope. If slope is
questionable, consider a survey of the site and/or the possibility of pouring a new level concrete slab.
5. Make sure you have enough area and ceiling height to install lift. (See Lift Specifications)
6. Never raise a car until you have double checked all bolts, nuts and hose fittings.
7. Always lower the lift onto the locks before going under the vehicle. Never allow anyone to go under
the lift when raising or lowering.

GENERAL LIFT INFORMATION and FEATURES


FLOOR PLATE MODEL

The following lift is a 2-Column Hydraulic, leaf chain driven unit.

The name/model numbers are designated below:

• Floor Plate (HR8000): 2-Column Lift, Floor Plate Lift type, 8000 lbs. Capacity, Symmetric
Swing Arm set up.

This lift is an 8,000 lb. capacity, 2-Post Lifts. The locking latch system is very similar to
an extension ladder. The locking latch is in contact with the latch rack. As the lift rises
the locking latch drops into place. The locking latch engages in latch rack in 3”
increments starting at about 16” from the ground. The locking latches must be manually
disengaged for the lift to lower. The locking latch is released by pulling the Release Cable
raising the latch up off the latch rack. Once the raise button is pressed, the latch will
automatically reengage after approximately 3" of travel. Heavy bearings and heavy-duty
leaf chains are used throughout the lift. The work is done with the heavy-duty chain
connected to a 2-1/2" cylinder, driven by an electric / hydraulic pump.

TWO COLUMN 8K FLOOR PLATE LIFT 6 CO7589 IN50014 Rev. D 03/2/2010


FOUNDATION and ANCHORING REQUIREMENTS
1. Concrete shall have compression strength of at least 3,000 PSI and a minimum thickness
of 4” in order to achieve a minimum anchor embedment of 3 1/4”. NOTE: When using the
standard supplied 3/4” x 5 1/2 long anchors; if the top of the anchor exceeds 2 1/4” above
the floor grade, you DO NOT have enough embedment.

2. Maintain a 6” minimum distance from any slab edge or seam. Hole to hole spacing
should be a minimum 61/2” in any direction. Hole depth should be a minimum of 4”.

CAUTION!!
3. DO NOT install on asphalt or other similar unstable surface. Columns are supported only
by anchoring to floor.
4. Using the horseshoe shims provided, shim each column base as required until each
column is plumb. If one column has to be elevated to match the plane of the other column,
full size base shim plates should be used. Torque anchors to 85 ft-lbs. Shim thickness
MUST NOT exceed ½” when using the 5 1/2” long anchors provided with the lift. Adjust
the column extensions plumb.

5. If anchors do not tighten to 85 ft-lbs. installation torque, replace the concrete under each
column base with a 4’ x 4’ x 6” thick 3,000 PSI minimum concrete pad keyed under and
flush with the top of existing floor. Allow concrete to cure before installing lifts and
anchors (typically 2 to 3 weeks).

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
STEP 1: After unloading the lift, place it near the intended installation location.

STEP 2: Remove the shipping bands and packing materials from the unit. The Power Unit will
be unpacked from the top. Note: Be careful not to drop power unit.

STEP 3: Remove the packing brackets and bolts holding the two columns together (do not
discard bolts; they are used in the assembly of the lift).

STEP 4: Once the power unit column location is decided, insure that the proper lift placement is
observed from walls and obstacles. Also check the ceiling height for clearance in this location.
Note: the power unit column can be located on either side. It is helpful to try and locate
the power side with the passenger side of the vehicle when loaded on the lift to save
steps during operation.

STEP 5: Install the cylinders into the carriage.

STEP 6: Install the top plate onto the top of the columns.

M12 x 1-9/16” Bolt

& M12Nut

STEP 7: Position the columns facing each other 134-5/8” outside base plates. Square the
columns by measuring diagonally from corner points on base plates (within 1/4”).

TWO COLUMN 8K FLOOR PLATE LIFT 9 CO7589 IN50014 Rev. D 03/2/2010


STEP 8: Use the existing holes in column base plate as a guide for drilling the 3/4” diameter
holes into the concrete. Drill the anchor holes only for ONE column, installing anchors as you go.
You will install anchors in second column after the cables, hoses, and floorplate are installed.

NOTE: Drilling thru concrete slab (recommended) will allow the anchor to be driven thru the
bottom of slab, if the threads are damaged or if the lift will need to be relocated.

CAUTION!!
Anchors must be at least 6” from the edge of the slab or any seam.

1. Use a concrete hammer drill with a carbide tip, solid drill bit the same diameter as
the anchor, 3/4”. (.775 to .787 inches diameter). Do not use excessively worn bits or
bits which have been incorrectly sharpened.

2. Keep the drill in a perpendicular line while drilling.

3. Let the drill do the work. Do not apply excessive pressure. Lift the drill up and down
occasionally to remove residue to reduce binding.

4. Drill the hole to depth equal to the length of anchor. Note: Drilling thru concrete
(recommended) will allow the anchor to be driven thru the bottom of foundation if
the threads are damaged or if the lift will need to be relocated.

5. 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 on average concrete (28-day cure). If the
concrete is very hard only one or two turns may be required. Check each anchor bolt
with torque wrench set to 85 foot pounds.

STEP 9: Using a level, check column for side-to-side plumb and front-to-back plumb. If needed,
use horseshoe shims provided by placing shims underneath the base plate and around the
anchor bolt. This will prevent bending the column bottom plates (Shim thickness should not
exceed 1/2”). Tighten 3/4” anchor bolts to 85 ft-lbs. of torque.

STEP 10: Using a tape measure, measure from corner of the base on main side column to the
opposite corner of the offside column to insure legs are square (within a 1/4”).

STEP 11: Set carriages on the first safety latch engagement. Be sure each carriage is at the
same height by measuring from the top of the base to the bottom of the carriage (double check
the latches before working under the carriages). This dimension should be within 1/4".

STEP 12: Installing the equalizing cables: for general cable arrangement. Route the first cable
as shown on next page. Tighten nut on one cable stud so that the end of stud passes the nylon
on the nut. Pull the other end of cable and run nut on it. Repeat above for second cable.

NOTE: DO NOT tighten cables at this time. Just start them on the threads. Other
column will be anchored in later steps. If you tighten cables at this time you will pull the
column and be unable to properly level/shim it for anchor installation.

STEP 15: Mount the Power Unit on lift as shown.

STEP 16: Mount the Floor Plate as shown below.

STEP 17: Install remaining anchors at this point using directions from page 10.

STEP 18: Install the swing arms on the carriages using the included 1-1/2" diameter pins. Check
for proper engagement of the arm lock – the rack on the lock should fully engage the gear on
the arm. Note you may have to loosen the arm lock bolts to get proper engagement and to
install the arm pins. BE SURE to retighten the lock bolts after the arm pins are installed.

STEP 19: Adjust the carriage cables tension. Adjust each cable to approximately 1/2" side-to-
side play. Check the latch releases to insure the carriage is still sitting on the appropriate latch.

STEP 20: Remove the vent plug from the power unit and fill the reservoir. Use a Ten Weight
(ISO AW32) non-foaming, non-detergent hydraulic fluid (i.e. Texaco HD32 or equal). The unit
will hold approximately twelve quarts of fluid.

STEP 21: Make the Electrical hookup to the power unit; 220V Single Phase. It is
recommended that a 220 Volt, 30 Amp twist lock plug be installed in the power line just ahead of
the power unit. Use wire capable of supporting a 30-amp circuit.
TWO COLUMN 8K FLOOR PLATE LIFT 14 CO7589 IN50014 Rev. D 03/2/2010
Warning: – the wiring must comply with local code. Have a certified electrician make the
electrical hook-up to the power unit. Protect each circuit with time delay fuse or circuit
breaker; 208v-230v single phase 60 Hz 30 amp.

STEP 22: Do not place any vehicle on the lift at this time. Cycle the lift up and down several
times to insure latches click together and all air is removed from the system. To lower the lift,
both latch releases must be manually released. Latches will automatically reset once the lift
ascends approximately 17” from base. If latches click out of sync, tighten the cable on the one
that clicks first.

STEP 23: With lift fully lowered, recheck power unit fluid level. Fill as required.

Lift Lockout/Tagout Procedure

Purpose

This procedure establishes the minimum requirements for the lockout of energy that could cause injury to
personnel by the operation of lifts in need of repair or being serviced. All employees shall comply with
this procedure.

Responsibility

The responsibility for assuring that this procedure is followed is binding upon all employees and service
personnel from outside service companies (i.e., Authorized Installers, contactors, etc.). All employees
shall be instructed in the safety significance of the lockout procedure by the facility owner/manager. Each
new or transferred employee along with visiting outside service personnel shall be instructed by the
owner/manager (or assigned designee) in the purpose and use of the lockout procedure.

Preparation

Employees authorized to perform lockout shall ensure that the appropriate energy isolating device (i.e.,
circuit breaker, fuse, disconnect, etc.) is identified for the lift being locked out. Other such devices for
other equipment may be located in close proximity of the appropriate energy isolating device. If the
identity of the device is in question, see the shop supervisor for resolution. Assure that proper
authorization is received prior to performing the lockout procedure.

Sequence of Lockout Procedure

1) Notify all affected employees that a lockout is being performed and the reason for it.
2) Unload the subject lift. Shut it down and assure the disconnect switch is “OFF” if one is provided
on the lift.
3) The authorized lockout person operates the main energy isolation device removing power to the
subject lift.
If this is a lockable device, the authorized lockout person places the assigned padlock on
the device to prevent its unintentional reactivation. An appropriate tag is applied stating
the person’s name, at least 3” x 6” in size, an easily noticeably color, and states not to
operate device or remove tag.
If this device is a non-lockable circuit breaker or fuse, replace with a “dummy” device and
tag it appropriately as mentioned above.
4) Attempt to operate lift to assure the lockout is working. Be sure to return any switches to the
“OFF” position.
5) The equipment is now locked out and ready for the required maintenance or service.

Restoring Equipment to Service

1) Assure the work on the lift is complete and the area is clear of tools, vehicles, and personnel.
2) At this point, the authorized person can remove the lock (or dummy circuit breaker or fuse) &
tag and activate the energy isolating device so that the lift may again be placed into operation.

Rules for Using Lockout Procedure

Use the Lockout Procedure whenever the lift is being repaired or serviced, waiting for repair when
current operation could cause possible injury to personnel, or for any other situation when unintentional
operation could injure personnel. No attempt shall be made to operate the lift when the energy isolating
device is locked out.

Operating Conditions
TWO COLUMN 8K FLOOR PLATE LIFT 16 CO7589 IN50014 Rev. D 03/2/2010

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE


The periodic Preventive Maintenance Schedule given is the suggested minimum requirements
and minimum intervals; accumulated hours or monthly period, which ever comes sooner.

Periodic maintenance is to be performed on a daily, weekly, and yearly basis as given in the
following paragraphs.

WARNING!!
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the American National
Standards Institute (ANSI) requires users to inspect lifting equipment at the start of every
shift. These and other periodic inspections are the responsibility of the user.

Failure to perform the daily pre-operational check can result in expensive property
damage, lost production time, serious personal injury, and even death. The safety latch
system must be checked and working properly before the lift is put to use.

Failure to heed this warning can result in death or serious injury, or damage to
equipment. If you hear a noise not associated with normal lift operation, or, if there is any
indications of impending lift failure - CEASE OPERATION IMMEDIATELY! - Inspect,
correct and/or replace parts as required.

• Daily Pre-Operation Check (8-Hours)


1. Check safety lock audibly and visually while in operation
2. Check safety latches for free movement and full engagement with rack.
3. Check hydraulic connections, and hoses for leakage.
4. Check chain connections - bends, cracks-and loose links.
5. Check cable connections- bends, cracks-and looseness.
6. Check for frayed cables in both raised and lowered position.
7. Check snap rings at all rollers and sheaves.
8. Check bolts, nuts, and screws and tighten if needed.
9. Check wiring & switches for damage.
10. Keep base plate free of dirt, grease or any other corrosive substances.
11. Check floor for stress cracks near anchor bolts.
12. Check swing arm restraints.

• Weekly Maintenance (every 40-Hours)


TWO COLUMN 8K FLOOR PLATE LIFT 20 CO7589 IN50014 Rev. D 03/2/2010
1. Check anchor bolts torque to 50 ft-lbs for the ¾ in. anchor bolts. Do not use an impact
wrench to tighten anchor bolts.
2. Check floor for stress cracks near anchor bolts.
3. Check hydraulic oil level.
4. Check and tighten bolts, nuts, and screws.
5. Check cylinder pulley assembly for free movement or excessive wear on cylinder yoke
or pulley pin.
6. Check cable pulley for free movement and excessive wear.

• Yearly Maintenance

1. Lubricate chains
2. Grease rub blocks and column surface contacting rub blocks
3. Change the hydraulic fluid - good maintenance procedure makes it mandatory to keep
hydraulic fluid clean. No hard fast rules can be established; - operating temperature,
type of service, contamination levels, filtration, and chemical composition of fluid should
be considered. If operating in dusty environment shorter interval may be required.

• Special Maintenance Tasks

NOTE: The following items should only be performed by a trained maintenance expert:

• Replacement of hydraulic hoses.


• Replacement of chains and rollers.
• Replacement of cables and sheaves.
• Replacement or rebuilding air and hydraulic cylinders as required.
• Replacement or rebuilding pumps / motors as required.
• Checking of hydraulic cylinder rod and rod end (threads) for deformation or damage.

CAUTION!!
Relocating or changing components may cause problems. Each component in the
system must be compatible; an undersized or restricted line will cause a drop in pressure.
All valve, pump, and hose connections should be sealed and/or capped until just prior to
use. Air hoses can be used to clean fittings and other components. However, the air
supply must be filtered and dry to prevent contamination. Most important is cleanliness;
Contamination is the most frequent cause of malfunction or failure of hydraulic
equipment.

TWO COLUMN 8K FLOOR PLATE LIFT 21 CO7589 IN50014 Rev. D 03/2/2010


TROUBLESHOOTING
The common problems that may be encountered and their probable causes are covered
in the following paragraphs:

• Motor Does Not Operate

Failure of the motor to operate is normally caused by one of the following:

1. Breaker or fuse blown.


2. Faulty wiring connections; call electrician.
3. Defective up button; call electrician for service.

• Motor Functions but Lift Will Not Rise


If the motor is functioning, but the lift will not rise do the following in the order given:

1. A piece of trash is under check valve. Push handle down and push the up button at the
same time. Hold for 10-15 seconds. This should flush the system.
2. Check the clearance between the plunger valve of the lowering handle. There should be
1/16” clearance.
3. Remove the check valve cover and clean ball and seat.

WARNING!!
Failure to properly relieve pressure in the following step can cause injury to personnel.
This lift uses ISO Grade 32 AW, 46 or other good grade non-detergent hydraulic oil at a
high hydraulic pressure. Be familiar with its toxicological properties, precautionary
measures to take, and first aid measures as stated in the Safety Summary before
performing any maintenance with the hydraulic system.

4. Oil level too low. Oil level should be just under the vent cap port when the lift is down.
