INSTALLATION / OWNERS MANUAL
Read this manual thoroughly before installing, operating, or maintaining this lift. When done with installation be sure to return documents to package and give all materials to lift owner/operator. When installation is complete be sure to run lift up and down a few cycles with and without “typical” vehicle loaded on lift.
IMPORTANT Reference ANSI/ALI ALIS, Safety Requirements for
Installation and Service of Automotive Lifts before installing lift.
1. Always inspect the lift for damage and make note of any damage on the bill of lading.2. In case of freight damage, call the truck line immediately and report the damage as a freight claim.3.

Daily Inspection & Maintenance
1. Cleanliness:Cables,Columns,Runwaysandotherliftpartsshouldbekeptfreeofcorrosiveagents,sol vents, and road salts. If such agents are spilled or splashed on any lift component, immediately rinsethoroughlywithwaterandwipedownwithacleanrag.Spraywireropecablesasrequired withPenetratingOilandwipedown. Failure to keep lift free of corrosive agents and solvents will lead to reduced component service life, cable failure, etc., which could result in property damage and/or personal injury.
3. Cables:Checkwireropecablesforwearordamage.Anycablewithbrokenwires,severecorrosion, excessive stretch, deformed strands, variations in diameter (necking), or any change from its normal appearance, must be replaced. If any cable is found to be in need of replacement, the entire cable set must be replaced immediately. Refer to figures below.
4. Sheaves:Checksheaves(pulleys)forwearordamage,i.e.wobble(tilt),cracks,looseonpin,orexces sive noise during operation.
6. LockingLatchesandSlackCableDevices:Watchlockinglatchesandslackcabledevicesduringlift operation to ensure that latches work properly and line up with slots in latch plate located in columns.

4. TRACKSforRollingJackandOilDrainPan Inspect rolling jack/oil drain pan tracks for cleanliness, corrosion, excessive wear or damage. Clean dirty tracks.
WARNING! Worn or damaged tracks must be repaired immediately.Failure to do so will lead to reduced service life which could result in property damage and/or personal injury.
5. LatchInspectionandAdjustment
Check locking latches for proper operation. Inspect for worn or missing parts. Replace worn or damaged parts andadjustasrequired.
1. Latches
Check latch operation on all four corners.
2. LatchandLatchBarLine-Up
Observe locking latches during lift operation to ensure that all latches line up with slots in latch bar located in all fourcolumns.Ifnot,relocateand/orre-shimcolumns.
1. Check slack cable devices for proper operation. Inspect for worn or missing parts. Replace worn or dam
