Troubleshooting:

7. The power unit does not run:

• Check electrical supply breaker, or fuse.
• Check for activation of the travel limit switch by a tall vehicle.
• Check micro-switch and connections in motor control box.
• Check voltage to the motor.
• Check micro-switch and connections in the overhead switch box.
8. The power unit runs but does not raise the lift:
• Check the oil level.
• Check that the lowering valve is not stuck open.
• Check the connections and components on the suction side of the pump.
9. The power unit raises the lift empty, but will not lift a vehicle.
• Make sure the vehicle is not above the rated capacity of the lift.
• Make sure the vehicle is positioned properly.
• Clean the lowering valve by running the power unit for 30 seconds while holding the lowering
valve open.
• Check the motor voltage.
10. Lift drifts down.
• Check for external leaks.
• Clean the lowering valve by running the power unit for 30 seconds while holding the lowering
valve open. Repeat this procedure three times.
• Clean the check valve seat.
11. Slow Lifting and/or oil foaming up.
• Check that oil used meets the specification in the Installation Instruction section of this manual.
• Tighten all suction line fittings.
12. Anchors continually work loose
• If holes were drilled too large relocate the lift per the Installation Instruction section of this
manual.
• Floor is not sufficient to provide the necessary resistance, remove an area of concrete and re
pour as described in the Installation Instruction section of this manual.
13. Lift does not raise and lower smoothly.
• Reposition vehicle for a more even weight distribution.
• Check the four inside corners of the two legs for roughness. Any rust or burrs must be removed
with 120 grit emery cloth.
• Lubricate the leg corners with heavy duty bearing grease.
• Use a level to check the legs for vertical alignment both side to side and front to back. Shim the
legs as necessary per the Installation Instruction section of this manual.
• Check the oil level.
• Make sure there is no air in the hydraulic lines, bleed system as described in the Installation
Instruction section of this manual.
14. The lift will only lower approximately 1”, then stops.
• Check that the safety latches are disengaged.

5
 15. At full rise the latch will not disengage and the lift cannot be lowered.
• If the equalization cables are out of adjustment the carriages are out of sync, and when the lift is
at full rise one of the safety latches may not have the clearance to disengage and allow the lift to
lower.
* To lower the lift
» Raise the lift to full height.
» Make sure both latches are engaged.
» Use a hydraulic jack and a length of pipe to raise the carriage with the lock which
is sticking enough to disengage the safety latch.
» Remove the jack and pipe.
» Pull the latch release handle to disengage the latches.
» Lower the lift and remove the vehicle.
» Readjust the cables as described in the Installation Instruction section of this
manual.
16. Power Unit will not stop running
• Switch is damaged, turn off power to the lift and replace switch.

6. Lift Lockout/Tagout Procedure

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

Responsibility
The responsibility for assuring that this procedure is followed is binding upon all employees and service person-
nel from outside service companies (i.e., authorized installers, contractors, etc.). All employees shall be instruct-
ed 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 appro-
priately as mentioned above.
4) Attempt to operate lift to assure the lockout is working. Be sure to return any switches to the “OFF” posi-
tion.
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.

7. Operating Conditions

Lift is not intended for outdoor use and has an operating ambient temperature range of 41º-104ºF (5º-40ºC).

7. Leg positioning and anchoring

A. Raise the Mainside leg only and position it where it is to be secured, figure 2.

B. The anchor bolts must be installed at least 5-11/16" from any edge or seam in the concrete

C. The concrete must be at least 4-¼” thick with a compressive strength of 3,000 psi.

D. Using the leg as a template, drill the anchor bolt holes for the Mainside Leg Only!!

* Use a hammer drill with a Carbide tip, 3/4" diameter, solid drill bit. The bit tip diameter
should be to ANSI Standard B95.12-1977. (.775" to .787").

* Keep the drill perpendicular to the floor while drilling.

* Let the drill do the work. Do not apply excessive pressure.

* Lift the drill up and down to remove dust and reduce binding.

* Drill the hole completely through the slab.

* Clean the dust from the hole.

14
E. Assemble the washers and nuts onto the anchor bolts. Thread the nuts onto the anchor bolts where the
tops of the nuts are just above the top of the bolts, figure 7. Using a hammer, carefully tap the anchor
bolts into the concrete until the washer rests against the baseplate. Do not damage the nuts or threads.

Figure 7

F. Using a level, plumb the mainside leg both side to side and front to back. Shim the leg as necessary next
to and on both sides of the anchor bolts, figure 8. If more than 1/2" of shimming is required, do not use
the anchors and shims provided with the lift. Use longer anchors and fabricate larger shims from
steel flat, 1/4" or 1/2" thick by 2", or more, wide.

G. Once the leg is plumb tighten the anchor bolts to 150 ft-lbs. Do not use an impact wrench on anchor
bolts.

* If after tightening the anchor supplied with the lift extends more than 2-1/4” above the floor the
anchor does not have enough embedment.

* If an anchor will not reach 150 ft-lbs or does not have enough embedment or adequate spacing
cannot be achieved, replace the concrete under the leg with a 4’ X 4’ X 6” thick pad of 3,000 psi
concrete keyed under the existing floor. Let the concrete cure before reinstalling the lift.

15
H. Recheck the leg’s plumbness after tightening the anchor bolts. Add shims if necessary.

I. Raise the offside leg and position it where it is to be located, figure 2. Do not drill holes for anchors.

8. Overhead assembly

A. Single Phase Instructions.

9. Anchoring offside leg
A. Using a level check the alignment and plumbness of the entire structure. Plumb the offside leg both side
to side and front to back.

B. The base of the leg may vary from the preliminary layout, as it is more important that the leg be perpen-
dicular to the floor and parallel to the other leg.

C. Install the anchor bolts and shim the base as described in the earlier “Leg positioning and anchoring”
step.
10. Routing carriage equalization cables and offside hose, Figure 10.

SHOWN AT WIDE SETTING.

USE LOWER BRACKET FOR
NARROW SETTING.

Figure 10

A. The carriages should be resting on the same safety rack tooth. Measure the height above the baseplate
for each carriage. The measurements should be within 3/8" of each other. Make a note of the two
measurements.

18
B. One end of each cable should already be attached to each carriage. Feed the other end of the cable up
through the top of the leg as shown, Figure 10,

Figure 11

* around the sheaves on the uprights,

» (while in the elevated position feed the offside hose through the hose guides
welded to the top of the overhead tube and down through the offside upright tube.)

* feed cable through the clearance hole in the left hand corner of the carriage top,
* around the sheave at the bottom of the leg,
* through the hole in the center of the carriage top.

C. Secure the cable end to the carriage top with a nylon insert nut and washer. Do not tighten the cable at
this time.

D. Repeat the process for the other cable, taking care not to cross them.

E. Take out the slack, but do not tighten, in both cables by turning down the nuts on the top of each carriage
top. Use vise grips to hold the cable end, but be very careful not to damage the threads.

F. The carriages must remain at the same lock position while the cables are being tightened. Overtighten-
ing of one cable could raise the carriage in the opposite leg and cause the carriage safety latches to be
out of sync.

G. Alternately tighten the cable nuts at both carriages until the cables are tightened. Correct tension in
the cables is indicated by being able to pull the cables together with approximately 15 pounds of effort at
their midpoint in the leg.

H. Measure and compare the carriage heights to the earlier measurement, or check that the safety locks
will not disengage to verify that neither carriage has been raised. If a carriage has been raised
more than 1/8", loosen the cables and repeat the procedure.

19
I. If the cables are installed correctly, both carriages will raise together. If equipment capable of lifting
the carriages is readily available, lift one of them just enough to disengage the locks and carefully
lower to the ground. This will simplify the cylinder bleeding procedure.

11. Locking Latch Cable

A) Install latch cable sheave and retaining rings in upper slot of power unit column as shown, Fig. 13.

B) Slip loop end of cable over end of shoulder screw on right side latch control plate, Fig. 13.

C) Feed the other end of the cable through the latch cable sheave slot making sure that the cable is running
under the bottom side of the latch cable sheave and inside the right column, Fig. 13.

D) Attach latch cable conduit guide brackets to overhead as shown, Fig. 12 & Fig. 12a. Always use the holes on
the approach side of the lift. HHCS should be in hole nearest the center of the overhead, Fig. 12a.

E) Route cable up inside column and through the latch cable guide, Fig. 12a & Fig. 14.
IMPORTANT Using wire ties provided, tie off cable guide to column extension as shown, Fig. 12a. Guide must
be attached in hole closest to the outside edge of the column on the NON-APPROACH side.

F) Continue routing cable to the left column latch cable guide, Fig. 12 & Fig. 14, routing the cable through the left
column latch cable guide, Fig. 12.
IMPORTANT Using wire ties provided, tie off cable guide to column extension as shown, Fig. 12a. Guide must
be attached in hole closest to the outside edge of the column on the NON-APPROACH side.

G) Bring the cable down inside the left column and feed the end of the cable through the lower latch cable
sheave slot so that the cable is now back outside the column, Fig. 15.

H) Install latch cable sheave and retaining rings in lower slot of non-power unit column as shown, Fig. 15.

I) Route cable under the bottom side of the latch cable sheave, Fig. 15.

J) At this point you MUST install the latch handle, jam nut, and right column latch cover Fig. 13 & Fig. 16. Install
latch handle ball, Fig. 16.

K) Insert cable in cable clamp along one side, loop around shoulder screw and back down, inserting cable
along other side of cable clamp, Fig. 15. Place top back on clamp, barely tightening.

L) Next, pull the control plate down, Fig. 14 & Fig. 15, to eliminate any clearance between the control plate slot
and the latch dog pin, Fig. 14.

M) Using Pliers, pull cable tight and secure the clamp close to the shoulder screw. Tighten clamp.

12. Mounting the power unit. Attach four 5/16" x 1-1/4" bolts to the highest two and lowest two holes in the
mounting bracket with 5/16" plain nuts. Attach the power unit, to these bolts and secure with 5/16" nylon
insert nuts.

Bleeding the hydraulic system, Figure 17.
A. Loosen the connections between the hoses and fittings attached to the cylinders. Do not
loosen the connections between the fittings and the cylinders themselves.
B. Run the power unit until fluid appears at the mainside cylinder port. Tighten that hose
connection.
C. Run the power unit until fluid appears at the offside cylinder port and there is no more air.
Tighten that hose connection.
D. Lower the lift to the ground. If the lift is on the safety latches, raise the lift enough to dis
engage the latches and then lower.
E. If the carriages were on the ground when the bleeding process was begun, no further
bleeding is required. If not, repeat the previous steps for bleeding the hydraulic system.
F. Add fluid to the system as previously described.

16. Assembling the arms and arm restraints

A. Before installing the arms, install the restraint gears as follows.

B. Position the gears with word TOP against the bottom of the arms in the orientation shown
in Figure 20. Attach the gears to the arms with (2) 3/8-16NC X 1-1/2 long HHCS. Do not
tighten at this time.

C. Position the restraint pawls on the carriage to mate with the gears on the arms.

17. Arm Stop

A. Install arm stop on Power Unit Column rear (long) arm. Long arm must be installed on power unit
side of column.

A. If any problems are encountered, do not proceed with subsequent steps. Instead, resolve
the problem before proceeding by referencing the Troubleshooting portion of the Owner’s
Manual section of this manual.

B. Raise the lift to full height. Lower the lift onto the safety latches. Raise the carriages,
release the locks, and lower the lift to the ground.

C. Raise the lift empty to the top of its travel and lower it the floor three (3) times to remove
the remaining air from the hydraulic system.

D. The latches should click together as the lift is being raised.

E. When the carriages are lowered onto the locks, both locks should engage completely.

F. The first time a vehicle is placed on the lift, raise it no higher than three feet. Lower the
vehicle onto the safety latches. Raise the lift a few inches and release the lock then lower
the vehicle to the floor.

G. Raise the vehicle to full height and lower the carriages onto the safety latches. Lower the
vehicle to the floor.
