CAUTION

IMPORTANT

Drill (10) 3/4” dia. holes in concrete floor using holes in
column base plate as a guide. See Fig. 4 for hole depth,
hole spacing, and edge distance requirements.

DO NOT install on asphalt or other similar
unstable surfaces. Columns are supported only by
anchors in floor.

7a. Overhead Assembly: Fig. 11: Adjust overhead to
appropriate dimension. Install (4) 3/8”-16NC x 3/4” HHCS &
3/8”-16NC Flanged Locknuts, do not tighten. Slide Switch
Box over switch bar ensuring knock out holes face the
power unit column, Fig. 7 and Fig. 8. Use (2) 1/4”-20NC x
3/4” lg. HHCS, 1/4”-20NC Nuts and 1/4” Star Washers to
mount switch box to overhead, see Fig. 11. For SPOA10
Extra Narrow Bay Setting installation, see step 7b, all
others go to step 7c.

Using the horse shoe shims provided,
shim each column base until each column is plumb. If
one column has to be elevated to match the plane of
the other column, full size base shim plates should be
used (Reference FA5112 Shim Kit or FA5208 for seismic
lift shims). Recheck columns for plumb. Tighten anchor
bolts to an installation torque of 110 ft-lbs (149 Nm). Shim
thickness MUST NOT exceed 1/2” (13mm) when using the
5-1/2” (140mm) long anchors provided with the standard
lifts, Fig. 5. Adjust the column extensions plumb.

If anchors do not tighten to 110 ft-lbs (149 Nm) installation
torque, replace concrete under each column base with a
4’ x 4’ x 6” (1219 x 1219 x 152mm) thick 3000 PSI (20684 kPa)
minimum concrete pad keyed under and flush with the top
of existing floor. Let concrete cure before installing lifts
and anchors. For seismic lifts, contact customer service.

INSURE shims are held
tightly between base
plate and floor after
torquing anchors.

7b. For Extra Narrow Bay installation only: Cut off 11”
(279mm) from the length of the bar and cushion on the end
opposite the 1/4” mounting hole(s). Continue to step 7c.

7c. Continued Overhead Assembly:
For single phase and three phase lifts with push button
control box: Insert 1/4”-20NC x 2-3/4” HHCS through
pivot hole in end of switch bar. Insert opposite end of bar
through slot in switch mounting bracket. Then secure
HHCS and Switch Bar to overhead as shown, Fig. 11, using
(2) 3/4” (19mm) spacers and 1/4”-20NC Locknut. Tighten
Hex bolt leaving 1/16” (1.6mm) gap between the spacer and
the overhead assembly.

8. Overhead Installation: Install overhead assembly to
Mounting Bracket with (2) 3/8”-16NC x 3/4” Flanged HHCS,
(2) 3/8”-16NC Flanged Serrated Locknut, Fig. 6. Use middle
holes for SPO9/SPO10 and outside holes (marked L for Left

column bracket and install (2) 5/16” flanged locking nuts.
Install and hand tighten Branch Tee to pump until O-ring is
seated. Continue to tighten the locknut to 10-15 ft-lbs (14­20 Nm), or until the nut and washer bottom out against the
pump manifold. NOTE: You may still be able to rotate the
Branch Tee. This is acceptable unless there is seepage at
the O-ring. If so, slightly tighten the locknut.

Fig. 9

Over tightening locknut may tear O-ring or

distort threads in pump manifold outlet.

10. Hoses: Clean adapters and hose. Inspect all threads
for damage and hose ends to be sure they are crimped,
Fig. 10. Install hose and hose clamps, Fig. 12 & Fig. 16.

Flared Fittings Tightening Procedure

1. Screw the fittings together finger tight. Then, using the
proper size wrench, rotate the fitting 2-1/2 hex flats.

Flare seat MUST NOT rotate when

tightening. Only the nut should turn.

2. Back the fitting off one full turn.

3. Again tighten the fittings finger tight; then using a
wrench, rotate the fitting 2-1/2 hex flats. This will
complete the tightening procedure and develop a
pressure tight seal.

Overtightening will damage fitting resulting

in fluid leakage.

Fluid that meets ISO 32 specifications. Remove fill­breather cap, Fig. 10. Pour in (8) quarts of fluid. Start
unit, raise lift about 2 ft (62 cm). Open cylinder bleeders
approximately 2 turns, Fig. 12.

Close bleeders when fluid streams. Torque values for
the bleeders are 15 ft-lbs (20 Nm) minimum and 20 ft-lbs
(27 Nm) maximum. Fully lower lift. Add more fluid until it
reaches the MIN______ mark on the tank. Replace fill­breather cap.

If fill-breather cap is lost or broken, order

replacement. Reservoir must be vented.

16. Overhead switch: Check overhead switch assembly
to assure that switch bar is depressing switch plunger
sufficiently to actuate the switch. The overhead switch is
wired normally open, see Fig. 21, Fig. 22, and Fig. 22b. Lift
will not operate until weight of switch bar is depressing
switch plunger. Verify that Power Unit stops working
when switch bar is raised, and re-starts when the bar is
released.

17. Arms & Restraints: Before installing arms, raise
carriages to a convenient height. Grease swivel arm pins
and holes with Lithium grease. Slide arm into yoke, Fig.
23a. Install 1-3/4” diameter arm pin(s), Fig. 23a.

Reference Fig. 23c, Fig. 24a, and Fig. 24b. Arms With 3
Holes In Bearing Bars: Then, install the (2) 3/8”-16NC x
1-1/2” Lg. HHCS ((8) total for all (4) arms) into the gear and
arm. Using 3/8” hex jam nuts, secure restraint gears to
arms. Reference Fig. 23c and Fig. 24b.

Torque the Restraint Gear bolts to 30-34 ft-lbs (41-46Nm).

After installing arms and pins, install arm Restraint Gears
as follows: Install Restraint Gear onto arm clevis, as
shown, Fig. 23b. Ensure side of gear marked TOP is facing
upward, Fig. 23b.

NOTE: TOP is stamped on top side of gear. You may
need to pull up on the pin-ring to allow enough room to
install Restraint Gear.

Arms With 5 Holes In Bearing Bar: Then, install the (2)
3/8”-16NC x 1-1/2” HHCS (8 total for all 4 arms) and 3/8”
Spring Lock washers into the gear and arm, but do not
tighten.

NOTE: To check operation of arm restraints, raise carriage
1” (25mm) min. from full down position. Pull up on pin-ring
and adjust arms to desired position. To engage restraint,
let pin-ring down allowing gear teeth to mesh together. It
may be necessary to rotate arm slightly to engage gear
teeth.

NOTE: Once arm is installed in yoke, pull up
actuator pin and swing arm fully around, being
sure that the Restraint Gear and Gear Block always
stay aligned. If they do not stay aligned, remove
restraint gear and install in the opposite position.

NOTE: Pin & Ring, Spring, & Gear Block are all pre­assembled.

Assemble adapters into arms (800 Series only):

For RA and truck adapters, slide adapter insert into end of
inner arm. Place adapter through slot in inner arm and into
adapter insert.

For flip-up adapters, place load plate onto inner arm with
stop on bottom in the inner arm slot and towards the end
of the arm. Slide adapter insert into end of inner arm
and line up with hole in load plate. Orient small hole in
adapter insert so it runs the length of the arm and you
can see it when looking in the end of arm. Slide large pin
from adapter assembly through the load plate and into the
adapter insert lining up the holes in the pin and the insert.
Install the retaining pin through the adapter insert and pin
pushing it in until the head or pin hits the insert. Swivel the
entire assembly around 180° and install the cotter pin, Fig
24c.

Note: Load plate with partial ears are used on A10 front
arms.

18. Door Bumper Installation:
A) Press long bumper on column edge, Fig. 25.
B) Press short bumper on top edge of carriage tube, Fig.

25.

19. Latch Cable Adjustment:
A) Check to make sure the latch will properly engage and

disengage. Slowly release the latch handle. A 1/8”
(3mm) gap between the top of the latch dog and the
column is allowable.

B) When raising, listen to latches to be sure that both

latch dogs fall into latch slots. If they do not, loosen
clamp and adjust tension as necessary.

C) Install left latch cover using 5/16-18NC x 3/8” lg PHMS.

20. Pressure Test: Run lift to full rise and keep motor
running for 5 seconds. Stop and check all hose
connections. Tighten or reseal if required. Repeat air
bleeding of cylinders.

21. Equalizer Cable Adjustment: Raise lift to check
equalizer cable tension. Below carriage, grasp adjacent
cables between thumb and forefinger, with about 15 lbs.
effort you should just pull the cables together. Adjust at
upper tie-offs Fig. 15.

22. Latch Release Decal: Install latch release decal on
cover above latch release handle, Fig. 26.

23. Pinch Point Decal Location: Install enclosed pinch
point decals. Place (1) decal on each column, Fig. 27.
Decals should be a minimum of 8” (20.3 cm) from the
bottom of decal to the ground.

24. Wheel Spotting Dish: Position wheel spotting dish as
illustrated in Fig. 1a or 1b. Drill (2) 3/8” holes 2-1/2”
(64 mm) deep in concrete floor using holes in wheel
spotting dish as guide. Drive both anchors, provided, into
concrete to secure dish.

25. Upon completion of the assembly of the lift, the lift is
to be operated to assure proper function. Observe for
locks operating in all locking positions, each side lifts
equally, hydraulics do not leak, all electrical controls
function as labeled, all pneumatics are functional and leak
free, ramps rotate freely (if applicable), and proper
clearances with all items in bay have been maintained.

Operate the lift with a typical vehicle and observe
to assure the same items for proper functioning.
