5. Concrete and Anchoring:

IMPORTANT

CAUTION

Reference IN20294 if Sprinter long arms
are going to be used for this installation or if the lift will
possibly be retro-fit with them in the future. Different
concrete and anchoring requirements are required.

Drill (14) 3/4” dia. holes in concrete floor using holes in
column base plate as a guide. See Figs. 4 and 5 for hole
requirements.

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

IMPORTANT: 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 Shim Kit). Recheck columns for plumb.
Tighten anchor bolts to an installation torque of 110 ft-lbs.
Shim thickness MUST NOT exceed 1/2” when using the
5-1/2” long anchors provided with the lift.

If anchors do not tighten to 110 ft-lbs. installation torque,
replace concrete under each column base with a 4’ x 4’
x 6” thick 3000 PSI minimum concrete pad keyed under
and flush with the top of existing floor. Let concrete cure
before installing lifts and anchor.

8. Overhead: Install overhead assembly to Mounting
Bracket with (2) 3/8”-16NC x 3/4” Flanged HHCS, (2) 3/8­16NC flanged locknut, Fig. 7c. Ensure limit switch box is
mounted on power unit side. Tighten bolts at center of
overhead assembly.

9. Power Unit: Put the (4) 5/16”-18NC x 1-1/2” flanged
locking HHCS thru holes in power unit bracket using Push­Nuts to hold in place, Fig. 8a. Mount unit with motor up to
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.,
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.

Over tightening locknut may tear O-ring or

distort threads in pump manifold outlet.

Fig. 7a

10. Hoses: Clean adapters and hose. Inspect all threads

for damage and hose ends to be sure they are crimped,
Fig. 8b. Install hose and hose clamps, Fig. 9a & Fig. 9d.

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.

carriages to a convenient height. Grease swivel arm pins
and holes with Lithium grease. Slide arm into yoke, Fig.
17a. Install 1-3/4” diameter arm pin(s), Fig. 17a.

After installing arms and pins, install arm Restraint Gears
as follows: Install Restraint Gear onto arm clevis, as
shown, Fig. 17b. Ensure side of gear marked TOP is facing
upward, Fig. 17b.

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.

Then, install the (2) 3/8”-16NC x 1-1/2” HHCS (8 total for
all 4 arms) and 3/8” Spring Lockwashers into the gear and
arm, but do not tighten. Reference Fig. 17c, Fig. 18, and Fig.
