Rear Clearance
Rear Clearance (Min. 5'-6" for SM30's, 8'-6" for
RFL25's) = rear overhang of longest vehicle + required
work space
Fig. 1
Read and understand Installation Instructions completely
before starting with lift installation.
1. Lift Location: Use architects plan when available to locate lift.
Fig. 1 shows dimensions of a typical bay layout. For power
unit at right front, rotate lift 180°, leaving ramp/chocks and
wheel stops in original position. Lift floor area should be
level.
DO NOT install on asphalt or other similar
unstable surfaces. Columns are supported only by anchors in
floor.
Note: If runway extensions are used, an additional 3’–0” of
clearance must be added to end with extensions.

2. Ceiling or overhead clearance must be 80” plus height
of tallest vehicle.
3. Estimating Column Shim requirements:
In the following section, the terms “highest” and
“lowest” refer to elevation of floor.
A. Mark locations where lift columns will be
positioned in bay.
B. Place target at column positions and record
readings, Fig. 2.
C. Find the highest of the four (4) locations. Find the
difference between the reading at each of the
remaining three (3) columns and the highest
reading.
D. The difference is the estimated amount of shim
thickness needed at each column.

E. Maximum shim thickness of 2” is possible by using shims
and anchors provided with lift. If more shimming is required,
consult factory for different shim package including longer
anchor bolts.
4. Runway and Yoke Assembly:
A. Determine direction of approach in bay.
B. Position left runway in bay with hydraulic cylinder hose
connection to rear of bay. Cables and sheaves are preassembled in runway. Runway needs to be up off floor so
shipping restraints can be removed from cable ends, air
and hydraulic lines, and cylinder rod. Pull cables, air and
fluid lines out for assembly. Make sure cables are in proper
sheave grooves, Fig. 3.
C. Position front and rear yokes at respective ends of
runway, Fig. 1. Feed cable ends through yoke end, Fig. 4. Do
not assemble sheaves in yoke ends at this time.
Be sure cables are not crossed inside yoke.

D. Lay right runway in place on yoke. Slide right runway toward
outside of lift until holes in yoke and runway line up, Fig. 4.
Hold runway in place and bolt on ramp/chock and wheel
stops to runway using ten 5/8” x 2 1/2” bolts and flange nuts.
Square up yokes with runways using four 3/4”-10NC x 2” lg.
bolts, 3/4” flat washers, 3/4” lock washers, and shims. Ramp/
chocks go on rear, Fig. 5. and Fig. 6. Repeat for left runway.
E. Insert each end of the left runway’s 1/4” air line into the Tee’s
connecting the locking latch air cylinders in each yoke, Fig. 7.

5. Columns:
IMPORTAN T
Note: Columns are not interchangeable. They must be set at their
respective corner of the lift. Column double return bend is always
to inside of lift, Fig. 9. Place the power unit column at the left
rear corner of the lift. The point where the hydraulic hose passes
through side of left runway should be visible from this corner.
Insert alignment stud through hole in yoke end and thread into
base plate of column, Fig. 8. Repeat for other columns.
The yoke/column alignment studs MUST be used
for proper centering of columns to yokes, Fig. 8. A gap of
5/16” must be maintained between column and yoke.
See step 6 B. Note: It may be necessary to remove Plastic Slider
from Column Stop on yoke end, Fig. 10, before aligning yoke
in column. After yoke is in column, reinstall Plastic Slider and
secure with 5/16” button head screw.
