IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. When using this lift, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
2. Read all instructions in this manual and on the lift thoroughly before
installing, operating, servicing or maintaining the lift.
3. Care must be taken as burns can occur from touching hot parts.
4. Do not operate equipment with a damaged cord or if the equipment has
been dropped or damaged – until it has been examined by a qualified
service person.
5. Do not let a cord hang over the edge of the table, bench, or counter or
come in contact with hot manifolds or moving fan blades.
6. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a current rating equal to or
more than that of the equipment should be used. Cords rated for less
current than the equipment may overheat. Care should be taken to
arrange the cord so that it will not be tripped over or pulled.
7. Always unplug equipment from electrical outlet when not in use. Never
use the cord to pull the plug from the outlet. Grasp plug and pull to
disconnect.
8. Let equipment cool completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely
around equipment when storing.
9. To reduce the risk of fire, do not operate equipment in the vicinity of open
containers of flammable liquids (gasoline).
10. Adequate ventilation should be provided when working on operating
internal combustion engines.
11. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from moving
parts.
12. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use on wet surfaces or expose
to rain.

ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES.
NOTE:
Caution!
13. Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer’s
recommended attachments.
14.

15. Inspect lift daily. Do not operate if it malfunctions or problems have been
encountered.
16. Never attempt to overload the lift. The manufacturer’s rated capacity is
shown on the identification label on the power side column. Do not
override the operating controls or the warranty will be void.
17. Before driving vehicle between the towers, position the arms to the drivethrough position to ensure unobstructed clearance. Do not hit or run over
arms as this could damage the lift and/or vehicle.
18. Only trained and authorized personnel should operate the lift. Do not allow
customers or bystanders to operate the lift or be in the lift area.
19. Position the lift support pads to contact the vehicle manufacturers
recommended lifting points. Raise the lift until the pads contact the
vehicle. Check pads for secure contact with the vehicle. Check all arm
restraints and insure they are properly engaged. Raise the lift to the
desired working height.

23. Note that the removal or installation of some vehicle parts may cause a
critical load shift in the center of gravity and may cause the vehicle to
become unstable. Refer to the vehicle manufacturer’s service manual for
recommended procedures.
24. Always keep the lift area free of obstruction and debris. Grease and oil
spills should always be cleaned up immediately.
25. Never raise vehicle with passengers inside.
26. Before lowering check area for any obstructions.
27. Before removing the vehicle from the lift area, position the arms to the
drive-thru position to prevent damage to the lift and /or vehicle.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS AND TOOLS
FOUNDATION
It is the user’s responsibility to provide a satisfactory installation
area for the lift. Lifts should only be installed on level concrete floors with a
minimum thickness of four inches (4") or 102 mm. Concrete must have a minimum
strength of 3500 psi should be aged thirty (30) days prior to installation. Please
consult the architect, contractor or engineer if doubt exists as to the strength and
feasibility of the floor to enable proper lift installation and operation.
A qualified person should be consulted to address seismic loads and other local
or state requirements.
It is the user’s responsibility to provide all wiring for electrical hook-up prior to
installation and to insure that the electrical installation conforms to local building
codes. Where required, it is the user’s responsibility to provide an electrical
isolation switch located in close proximity to the lift that will enable emergency
stop capability and isolate electrical power from the lift for any servicing
requirements.

Prior to installing anchors, assemble the nut and washer onto anchors. A
minimum of six threads must be visible below the surface of the nut. Refer to
the figure below while reading through the following instructions.
Using a ¾” concrete drill bit and rotary hammer drill, drill ¾” holes for the
anchor bolts on the power side column. Drill through the concrete floor. (In
case longer anchors are required, supplied anchors can be hammered
through concrete).
Clean out the drilling dust from the holes and place anchor bolts into the

Note:
INSTALLING THE OVERHEAD BEAM
After positioning the slave column at the designated chalk location; assemble the
overhead beam on the shop floor to either the narrow or widest lift width hole
positions as determined by the chalk line measurements. See the photo below for
illustration.
Photo below shows the overhead
beam assembled at the widest
(most common) position.
While the overhead beam is still on the shop floor install the provided 4 pulleys
(sheaves). Two (2) pulleys on each side of the overhead beam using the parts
shown below. Note: Asymmetric installation (rotated column position as shown in
figure 5) requires the pulleys to be installed offset to each other using two (2)
axles and related parts. Symmetric installation (as shown in figure 4) requires the
pulleys to be installed on a common axle using the related parts. See related
Some TLT210 series models may already
have the pulleys installed. The TLT211-AS model has
the pulleys pre-installed at the factory. If this is case,
disregard the instructions below and proceed to the
next phase of installation.
