CEILING HEIGHT WARNING

WARNING:

Ensure that ceiling height* and/or overhead hydraulic line height is greater than the total lifted height of the tallest vehicle (maximum vehicle height plus lift stroke). Failure to ensure adequate overhead clearance may cause damage to equipment, vehicle and bodily injury to the user.

NOTICE:

In the event that the ceiling height* or hydraulic line height is reduced less than the standard heights recommended for the lift, an OVERHEAD SHUT-OFF DEVICE MUST BE EMPLOYED.

Note that underground hydraulic lines are available, but the ceiling height* must still be adequate to provide clearance for the tallest lifted vehicle. Ensure that the whole fleet of vehicles is reviewed and the tallest vehicle used.

*Overhead obstruction of any kind must be taken into account (i.e. overhead heaters, garage doors, beams, etc..)

MOHAWK MODELS SYSTEM IA & SYSTEM IA-10

The Automotive Lift Institute (ALI) is a trade association comprised of US and Canadian manufacturers and certain national distributors of automotive lifts. For almost 50 years, the ALI in cooperation with the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has continued to sponsor the national standard ANSI/ALI ALCTV:2011 "Safety Requirements for Construction, Testing, and Validation for Automotive Lifts.”

The new "ALI/ETL Automotive Lift Certification Program" is based on ALI developed methods and criteria for third party testing of automotive lifts to validate conformance with ANSI/ALI ALCTV:2011.

For automotive lifts to be certified, manufacturers must execute an agreement with the ALI and ETL / Intertek Testing Services and must meet certain requirements:

 Must be structurally tested in accordance with the test requirements as outlined in ANSI/ALI

ALCTV:2011.

 All motor operated units must be listed by a nationally recognized testing laboratory (NRTL) in

accordance with ANSI/UL-201.

 The manufacturer's production facility must meet quality control requirements as set forth in the ANSI

Z34.1-1987 and the ALI/ETL Automotive Lift Certification Program Procedural Guide.

 All manufacturer-provided instructions, manuals, and operator safety documents, must meet the

requirements of the ANSI/ALI ALCTV:2011 and ANSI/UL-201.

Lifts meeting these rigid requirements may be listed in the directory of certified lifts and be labeled with the "ALI/ETL certification mark" (Above on right), and, if applicable, the ETL listing mark to ANSI/UL-201.

Mohawk has been a long-standing member of ALI and most of Mohawk’s popular models are currently listed and certified. Other Mohawk models are in various stages of testing. To obtain a complete and current certification listing, contact Mohawk Resources Ltd. or visit www.mohawklifts.com or www.ali-

directory.org To obtain a copy of the current automotive lift standard, contact ALI or ANSI or visit www.autolift.org

Some people purchase quality products and others do not. You are assured of quality when you purchase a Mohawk product in compliance with the certification program.

BEFORE INSTALLING A LIFT

IMPORTANT

BEFORE INSTALLING A MOHAWK LIFT THERE ARE A FEW ITEMS THAT MUST BE INSPECTED. EACH REPAIR SHOP BAY IS DIFFERENT. IN AN ATTEMPT TO PREVENT OVERSIGHTS, ALL OF THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS TO BE VERIFIED.

OVERHEAD OBSTRUCTIONS

THE AREA WHERE THE LIFT WILL BE LOCATED SHALL BE FREE OF OBSTRUCTIONS. HEATERS, BUILDING SUPPORTS, ELECTRICAL CONDUIT; ALL OF THESE ITEMS ARE TO BE TWELVE FEET ABOVE THE BAY FLOOR. SEE FIGURE 2 & 11.

DEFECTIVE CONCRETE

VISUALLY INSPECT THE BAY FLOOR AREA. THE UNIT CANNOT BE INSTALLED ON EXPANSION SEAMS, OR CONCRETE THAT IS CRACKED. THE UNIT IS ONLY AS STRONG AS THE FLOOR IT IS INSTALLED ON.

FLOOR REQUIREMENTS

THIS INFORMATION IS IN THE GENERAL FLOOR REQUIREMENTS. IF THE BAY FLOOR DOES NOT CONFORM TO THESE

SPECIFICATIONS, REFER TO THE “NEW SLAB RECOMMENDATIONS” SECTION IN THIS MANUAL. REFER TO

FIGURE 1.

LOCATE THE MAIN SIDE POST ON THE HIGH SIDE OF THE FLOOR IF A SLOPE IS NOTED. REFER TO FIGURE 12.

POWER SUPPLY

THE STANDARD POWER UNIT IS 220-VOLT SINGLE PHASE. REFER TO THE POWER UNIT SPECIFICATIONS SECTION. REQUIREMENTS MAY VARY ON SPECIAL ORDERS.

THE MAIN SIDE POST WILL REQUIRE THE POWER SUPPLY FOR THE UNIT. NOTE THE LOCATION OF THE POWER SUPPLY.

BAY SIZE

TO OPTIMIZE SHOP SPACE, IT IS ADVISED TO LOCATE A VEHICLE

IN THE BAY PRIOR TO LAYOUT. NOTE WALKWAY’S OVERHEAD

OBSTRUCTIONS, AND ABILITY TO MOVE EQUIPMENT IN THE BAY AREA. REFER TO FIGURE 2 & 11.

REQUIREMENTS MAY VARY ON SPECIAL ORDERS.

SPECIFICATIONS

REFERENCE ALL SPECIFICATIONS PRIOR TO INSTALLING A LIFT.

WARNING

BEFORE DRILLING THE MOUNTING HOLES

ALL ANCHORS MUST BE A MINIMUM OF 6 INCHES AWAY

FROM ANY EXPANSION SEAMS, CONTROL JOINTS, OR OTHER INCONSISTENCIES IN THE CONCRETE. REFER TO ANCHOR MANUFACTURER SPECIFICATIONS FOR SPECIFIC INFORMATION CONCERNING EDGE DISTANCES AND BOLT TO BOLT DISTANCE REQUIREMENTS. REFER TO FIGURES 4, 5, & 6.

MOHAWK MODELS SYSTEM IA & SYSTEM IA-10

2-POST LIMITATIONS AND ADAPTER

USAGE:

REV (2/9/2006)

2-POST LIMITATIONS:

ALL MOHAWK 2-POST LIFTS ARE FOR INDOOR USE UNLESS SPECIFICALLY QUALIFIED AND MODIFIED FOR A CUSTOM ENVIRONMENT.

ALL MOHAWK 2-POST LIFTS MUST ACCOMPLISH THREE MAIN CRITERIA IN ORDER TO LIFT A VEHICLE SAFELY:

1. PROPER FRAME ENGAGEMENT WITH PADS. ALL 2-

POST FRAME ENGAGING LIFTS ARE DESIGNED TO LIFT STANDARD VEHICLES WITHIN THEIR RATED CAPACITY BY THE VEHICLE FRAME. IF SUITABLE FRAME CONTACT LIFT POINTS CAN NOT BE REACHED OR ACCOMMODATED BY THE LIFTING PADS, THE VEHICLE MUST NOT BE RAISED WITH THE LIFT. REFER TO VEHICLE MANUFACTURER LIFTING POINT SPECIFICATIONS (AND VEHICLE LIFT POINT LABEL PER SAE J2184, VEHICLE LIFT POINTS FOR SERVICE GARAGE LIFTING).

2. PROPER CENTER OF GRAVITY PLACEMENT OF

VEHICLE ON LIFT ENSURE THAT THE CENTER OF GRAVITY OF THE VEHICLE LIES CENTERED BETWEEN THE LIFTING ARMS. THIS SHOULD PLACE THE CENTER OF GRAVITY OF THE VEHICLE IN LINE WITH THE CENTER OF THE POSTS AS WELL.

3. PROPER LOADING OF ARMS. INDIVIDUAL ARM

CAPACITIES ARE ¼ OF THE RATED LIFT CAPACITY, AND MUST NOT BE EXCEEDED. FOR INSTANCE, A 10,000 LB RATED 2-POST LIFT HAS ARMS THAT ARE RATED FOR 2,500 LBS EACH. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT A 10,000 LB VEHICLE CAN OVERLOAD THE ARMS ON A 10,000 LB LIFT IF THE FRONT AND REAR LOADING ARE NOT EQUAL.

WITH RESPECT TO HEAVY ENDED VEHICLES SUCH AS FORK TRUCKS, DELIVERY VANS, PICKUP TRUCKS, ETC, ATTENTION MUST BE MADE TO ENSURE THAT THE PER ARM CAPACITY OF THE LIFTING ARMS IS NOT EXCEEDED AND THAT THE CENTER OF GRAVITY OF THE VEHICLE LIES CENTERED BETWEEN THE LIFTING ARMS.

SPECIAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST BE OBSERVED IN APPLICATIONS INVOLVING VERY LONG AND VERY SHORT WHEELBASE VEHICLES. 2-POST LIFTS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO RAISE STRETCHED LIMOS AND OTHER TYPES OF LONG WHEEL BASE VEHICLES. AS A RULE OF THUMB, THE VEHICLE LENGTH ON A 2-POST MUST BE LIMITED TO 4 TIMES THE LENGTH OF THE ARM SPREAD TO RAISE IT. THE CENTER OF GRAVITY ON THIS VEHICLE MUST LIE BETWEEN THE LIFTING PADS TO ACCOMPLISH THIS. NOTE THAT SOME VEHICLES, PER VEHICLE MANUFACTURER GUIDELINES, ARE NOT TO BE RAISED BY THE FRAME. REFER TO VEHICLE MANUFACTURER GUIDELINES FOR PROPER LIFTING TECHNIQUES.

THIS LIFT IS NOT INTENDED, NOR DESIGNED, TO LIFT VEHICLE FRONT OR BACK ENDS USING ONLY TWO ARMS.

CARE MUST BE OBSERVED WHEN REMOVING ANY HEAVY COMPONENTS FROM A VEHICLE AND THEREBY DRASTICALLY SHIFTING THE VEHICLE CENTER OF GRAVITY (I.E. ENGINE REMOVAL, TRANSMISSION REMOVAL, ETC.). THE USE OF JACK STANDS AT THE FRONT AND REAR ENDS OF THE VEHICLE IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED WHEN PERFORMING THIS TYPE OF WORK.

ADAPTER USAGE AND LIMITATIONS:

THE USE OF HEIGHT ADAPTERS IS COMMON FOR MOST LIFTING SITUATIONS TO ACCOMMODATE HIGH FRAMES AND LOW OVERHANGING BODIES OF VEHICLES.

FOR A-7, A-7A, SYSTEM IA, SYSTEM IA-10, TOMAHAWK-9000:

THESE LIFTS COME STANDARD WITH (4) 3” AND (4) 6” HEIGHT

ADAPTERS. THESE LIFTS ARE ONLY ALLOWED TO USE 2 ADAPTERS WHEN STACKED: ONE (1) 6” AND ONE (1) 3” ADAPTER, RESULTING IN 9” MAXIMUM STACKING HEIGHT. LONGER CUSTOM SINGLE PIECE ADAPTERS ARE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.

FOR LMF-12, TP-15, TP-16, TP-18, TP-20, TP-26, TP-30:

THESE LIFTS COME STANDARD WITH (4) 5”, (4) 7 ½”, AND (4) 10”

HEIGHT ADAPTERS. THESE LIFTS ARE ONLY ALLOWED TO USE 2 ADAPTERS WHEN

STACKED: ONE (1) 10” AND ONE (1) 7½” ADAPTER, RESULTING IN 17 1/2” MAXIMUM STACKING HEIGHT. LONGER CUSTOM SINGLE

PIECE ADAPTERS ARE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.

THE USER SHOULD BE WARNED THAT ANY SITUATION PRODUCING AN OFF-VERTICAL SLANTING OF THE HEIGHT ADAPTERS, SUCH AS DEFLECTION OF THE ARM DUE TO HEAVY LOAD, DEFLECTION OF THE ARM DUE TO SLOP, ECCENTRIC CORNER LOADING OF THE LIFT PAD, ETC. MUST BE AVOIDED. CUPPED OR YOKE STYLE LIFTING PADS (WHICH DO NOT RELY ON FRICTION) ARE ALSO AVAILABLE FOR SITUATIONS INVOLVING LIFTING NON-FLAT SURFACES. CONSULT MOHAWK SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR CUSTOM PAD REQUESTS FOR YOU APPLICATION.

Cable Care & Maintenance

This lift incorporates a high strength synthetic cable which is used to prevent lift collapse in the unlikely event of a chain break. A few guidelines about its general use will help you to increase the life of the cable and assist you in achieving the best performance from our product.

Abrasion and Sharp Edges: Abrasion and sharp edges are a cable’s worst enemies. Check all equipment prior to use to make sure there are no burrs or sharp edges.

Cleaning: Dirt on a cable can penetrate the cover strands resulting in abrasion in the core as well as on the cover. Water facilitates the introduction of dirt particles into the cable. When cable subjected to wet conditions, particularly where dirt is an issue, wash cable with fresh water and allow to air dry out of direct sunlight. For a thorough cleaning, soak your cables in warm water with a mild detergent (not bleach). When possible, use a front loading washer; otherwise, wash your cable in a mesh bag or pillowcase to avoid tangling. Rinse thoroughly and then hang them up to dry out of direct sunlight.

Eliminating Twist: Twist increases the likelihood of the cable kinking and jamming in equipment. Severe twist can cause the cable to get out of round, resulting in higher wear rates and reduced strength. Eliminating twist from a cable will make the cable easier to handle and increase its life.

Chemicals: Synthetic fibers have good chemical resistance. However, exposure to harsh chemicals, such as acids and alkalis, should be avoided.

Damage: Inspect all cables frequently for signs of wear or damage, especially at eyebolt areas. Retire any cable that is cut, worn or abraded.

Sunlight: With time, all synthetic fibers will undergo degradation when exposed to sunlight.

Tensile Strength: The tensile strength is the load at which a new cable, tested under laboratory conditions, can be expected to break. Age, use and the type of termination used, such as knots, will lower tensile strengths significantly. A cable should always be taken care of. This is important to ensure that you get the most out of it and enhance your performance. Here is a list of the many things that you can do in taking care of your cables: � Check your cable regularly. Just like the rest of your equipment, ocular inspection is very important. Check your cable for signs of wear and tear such as damaged sheath, fraying, and abrasion during each inspection � Make sure that your cable is clean. Wash it with water and non-detergent soap. Avoid using bleach and other chemicals that can weaken the nylon cable. Air dry your cable away from direct sunlight. � Keep your cable away from direct sunlight, acids, and oxidizing agents that can weaken your cable and shorten cable life.

MOHAWK MODELS SYSTEM IA & SYSTEM IA-10

� It does not necessarily mean that if your cable does not have any signs of wear and tear, you can still use it. The cable should be changed every 5 years, regardless of condition. If there is any doubt during inspection of the condition of the cable, replace it with a new one. If in the unlikely event, a chain break occurs, a new cable must be used as well as a new chain.

Internal Wear: Internal wear can be detected by the tell tale signs of a loosening of strands and the presence of powdered fiber. It is most often caused when grit becomes trapped in a cable which is repeatedly flexed in wet conditions. If signs of this are detected, replace cable.

Attack by heat: This may be revealed by glazing of the cable surface. In extreme cases local fused sections indicate heat through friction and a considerable loss of strength can be expected. If, after careful visual examination, doubts still exist, discard the cable or consult the cable manufacturer.

Maintenance after Inspection: Any cable which has broken through any of above criteria should be discarded and replaced.

* The floor must be properly aged to American Concrete Institute specifications. The floor does not require reinforcement, but a minimum of 4” x 4” x 10/10 wire mesh is recommended.

** Larger 4’ x 4’ base pads (available from Mohawk) required for floors with a thickness range less than 6”, but greater or equal to 4 1/2”.

The floor should be test drilled to verify minimum floor thickness and to confirm building drawings. A core sample should be obtained and tested to verify minimum floor compressive strength. When investigating floor properties, consult building drawings to verify proper floor reinforcement.

All 2-post lifts require a continuous single slab. Spanning expansion seams or positioning posts on separate slabs is not acceptable.

--- ALL MOHAWK LIFTS MUST BE INSTALLED ON CONCRETE ONLY ---

DO NOT install any Mohawk lift on any surface other than concrete, conforming to the minimum compressive strength,

aging, reinforcement, and thickness stated in the table above. DO NOT install any Mohawk lift on expansion seams or on cracked or defective concrete. All ¾ inch diameter anchors must be a minimum of 6 inches away from any expansion seams, control joints or other inconsistencies in the concrete. All 1 inch diameter anchors must be a minimum of 7 ½ inches away from any expansion seams, control joints or other inconsistencies in the concrete. Refer to anchor manufacturer specifications for specific information concerning edge distances and bolt to bolt distance requirements.

NEVER, NEVER install a Mohawk lift on hand mixed concrete. DO NOT install any Mohawk lift on a secondary floor level or on any ground floor with a basement beneath without written

authorization from the building architect and prior consultation and approval from Mohawk Resources Ltd.

If the floor does not meet these minimum pre-existing floor requirements, it is suggested to construct a slab as outlined in New Slab Recommendations. If the location of the lift is in a seismic zone, additional provisions will need to be considered, and it is recommended to consult a building architect or engineer.

MOHAWK MODELS SYSTEM IA & SYSTEM IA-10

New Slab Recommendations:

The information contained in this appendage supercedes any other information given in the accompanied manual. This information is presented for design recommendations for a new concrete slab in the event that the pre-existing floor does not meet minimum requirements of the applicable lift type. Please read all instructions below carefully before producing new slab.

Basic Concrete Requirements:

Minimum Tensile Strength of Concrete: 4,000 P.S.I.

Minimum Aging of New Concrete Slab: 28 days (cure time)

Minimum Thickness of Concrete Slab: See New Slab Table & Figure Attached

Minimum Width and Length of Slab: See New Slab Table & Figure Attached

All properties of the new concrete slab are mandatory and must conform to the above stated properties before installation of the lift is deemed acceptable. The new slab must be totally surrounded by an existing concrete floor. Certified strength documentation should be obtained from the firm who supplies the concrete mixture at the time of the pour.

The slab above is designed as “stand alone” and does not take into account the contribution of strength from surrounding

concrete. It may be desirable to reinforce the new slab to the pre-existing surrounding floor. Care should be taken to locate these specific reinforcement bars away from any anchor positions of the specific lift.

This new slab design does not account for second floor installations or installations in a ground floor with a basement beneath. For this case, the lift should not be installed without written authorization from the building architect.

All ¾ inch diameter anchors must be a minimum of 6 inches away from any expansion seams, control joints or other inconsistencies in the concrete. All 1 inch diameter anchors must be a minimum of 7 ½ inches away from any expansion seams, control joints or other inconsistencies in the concrete. Refer to anchor manufacturer specifications for specific information concerning edge distances and bolt to bolt distance requirements.

NEVER, NEVER, hand mix your own concrete.

Note 1: An additional layer of 6 x 6 - 10/10 WWF at mid height of new slab would be advisable in any extremely

hot or cold climate to control cracking due to temperature fluctuations and shrinkage.

At anchor bolt locations only keep WWF mesh below the elevation of the anchorage to avoid

drilling interference with the wire.

Note 2: The main reinforcing and lower temperature steel shall be Grade 60 deformed bars

Note 3: The tolerance on spacing of the bars in each direction shall be the value shown, plus or minus 1 inch.

In addition, the number of bars specified in the table must be used.

Note 4: The concrete outline dimensions and the reinforcing shown are for a foundation bed allowable bearing

capacity of not less than 2,000 lb/sq ft (1 ton per square foot). Many clays, and most all firm clay, hard clay,

sand & clay mixes, dry sands, course dry sands, dry sand and silt mixes, sand and gravel mixes, and gravel

type soils meet or exceed this allowable bearing capacity. If there is question regarding the foundation bed

allowable bearing capacity, a soils testing engineer should be consulted. Situations where the allowable bearing

capacity is lower than this value will require special attention.
