• Use this lift only for the work it is intended. Do not use this product for an application for which it was not designed. Misuse can lead to personal injury and/or property damage.

WARNING: Prior to completely raising the vehicle, raise the vehicle 6” off the ground and check the adapter pads for solid contact by performing the “BUMPER TEST”. Walk around the back of the vehicle and push up and down on the bumper. The vehicle will rock, but should not at any time lose contact with the pads. If the vehicle is bouncing off the pads or feels at all unstable, you should lower it back to the ground and reposition the pads to

balance the load. Repeat this process until the vehicle is completely stable.

WARNING: Use this lift only in well ventilated areas. Carbon monoxide exhausted from running vehicle engines is a colorless, odorless fume that, if inhaled, can cause serious

personal injury or death.

WARNING: People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before using this product. Operation of electrical equipment in close proximity to a heart pacemaker could

cause interference or failure of the pacemaker.

WARNING: This product contains or produces a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects (or other reproductive harm). (California Health & Safety Code 25249.5 et seq.)

1.4 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAINTENANCE

• Maintenance or repair work should be done by authorized service personnel only.

• Work on the electrical equipment should be done by certied licensed electricians only.

• Ensure that ecologically harmful substances are disposed of in accordance with the

appropriate regulations.

• To prevent the risk of damage, do not use high pressure / steam jet cleaners or caustic cleaning agents.

• Do not replace or override the safety devices.

1.5 RISKS

WARNING: Risks the personnel could encounter, due to an improper use of the lift, are

described in this section.

CRUSHING RISK

During lowering of runways and vehicles, personnel must not be within the area covered by the lowering trajectory. The operator must be sure no one is in danger before operating the lift. Stay clear of the lift when lowering or raising vehicles. Keep hands and feet away from moving parts and especially points that could pinch. Keep your feet clear of the lift when raising and lowering vehicles.

BUMPING RISK

When the lift is stopped at relatively low working height, the risk of bumping against projecting parts increases. Always be aware of your surroundings and avoid bumping your

head or body on the lift or the vehicle.

RISK OF THE VEHICLE FALLING FROM THE LIFT

Risk of the vehicle falling from the lift is increased: when the vehicle is improperly placed on the platforms, when the vehicle’s weight or physical dimensions exceed the rated capacity of the lift, or when there is excessive movement of the vehicle while on the lift. If vehicle appears to begin falling, exit the area as quickly as possible to avoid injury. Always position vehicle with the center of gravity midway between the adapters. Adding or removing parts of a vehicle on the lift will alter the weight displacement on the lift. Therefore, use of auxiliary

safety stands in the front and back of the vehicle is recommended. Never override the

manufactured lift controls. Always use height adapter pads when possible to ensure proper contact. Only authorized personnel should be allowed in the lift area and the lift should only be operated by authorized and trained personnel. Adding or removing parts of a vehicle on the lift will alter the weight displacement on the lift.

2-DESCRIPTION

The following is a 2-Column hydraulic, leaf chain driven lift. The model numbers covered in this manual are designated below:

HD2P-9KCL: 2-Column Overhead Beam Lift type, 9,000 lb Capacity, Asymmetric Swing Arm set up.

This lift is a 9,000 lb capacity, 2-Post Lift. The safety latch system is very similar to an extension ladder. The safety latch is in contact with the rack as the lift ascends and drops into place as the lift rises. Safety latch engages in rack in 3” increments at about 16” from the ground. The latch must be manually disengaged for the lift to descend. The latch is released by raising the latch rack using the hydraulic drive system and pulling the release handle. If the user lets go of the manual release handle, the safety latch will re-engage on the next lock latch it encounters. Heavy bearings and heavy-duty leaf chains are used throughout the lift. The work is done with the heavy-duty chain connected to a 3” cylinder, driven by a hydraulic pump capable of providing 3,000 psi.

Please read the Safety Procedures and operation instructions in this manual before

operating the lift. Proper installation is very important. To minimize the chance of making an error in installation, please read this manual thoroughly before beginning installation. Check with building owner and/or architect’s building plans when applicable. The lift should be located on a level oor with 4” 3000 psi concrete sufciently cured, for at least 30 days.

This is a vehicle lift installation / operation manual and no attempt is made or implied herein to instruct the user in lifting methods particular to an individual application. Rather, the

contents of this manual are intended as a basis for operation and maintenance of the unit

as it stands alone or as it is intended and anticipated to be used in conjunction with other equipment.

Proper application of the equipment described herein is limited to the parameters detailed in the specications and the uses set forth in the descriptive passages. Any other proposed application of this equipment should be documented and submitted in writing to the factory for examination.

3-UNPACKING & SETUP

Only skilled personnel who are familiar with the lift and this manual shall be allowed to carry out, lifting, handling, transport and unpacking operations.

3.1 DELIVERY AND CHECK OF PACKAGES

When the lift is delivered, carefully unpack the lift making sure all the parts have been included. Check for possible damages due to transport and storage; verify that what is specied in the conrmation of order is included. In case of damage in transit, the customer

must immediately inform the carrier of the problem.

Remove the lift and all parts from delivery pallet and place on a clean, solid, at surface. Packages must be opened paying attention not to cause damage to people (keep a safe distance when opening straps) and parts of the lift (be careful the objects do not drop from the package when opening.)

3.2 LIFTING AND HANDLING

When loading/unloading or transporting the equipment to the site, be sure to use suitable loading (e.g. cranes, trucks) and hoisting means. Be sure to hoist and transport the components securely so that they cannot drop, taking into consideration the package’s size, weight, center of gravity, and its fragile parts.

5-FLOOR REQUIREMENTS

5.1 SELECTING THE SITE AREA

1. Make sure that adequate space and height is available.

2. Check for ceiling clearance (lifting height plus vehicle height).

3. Check for clearance in front and rear of vehicle on lift.

4. Check for overhead garage door clearance.

5.2 FLOOR REQUIREMENTS

Drive-Thru

102”

Do not use the lift on any asphalt surface. Make sure the lift is used on a dry, oil/grease free, at level CONCRETE surface capable of supporting the weight of the lift, the vehicle being lifted, and any additional tools and equipment. The concrete oor surface should have a minimum thickness of 4”. The concrete must have a minimum strength of 3,000 PSI, and should be cured at least 30 days prior to use. Do not use the lift on concrete expansion seams or on cracked, defective concrete.

WARNING: SPECIFICATIONS OF CONCRETE MUST BE ADHERED TO. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD CAUSE LIFT FAILURE RESULTING IN PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. THE FLOOR SHOULD BE A REINFORCED CONCRETE SLAB NOT LESS THAN 4” THICK WITH THE COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH OF THE CONCRETE NO LESS THAN 3,000 PSI.

DANGER: FOR CORRECT INSTALLATION OF THE LIFT, THE FLOOR MUST BE FLAT AND LEVEL. CHECK WITH STRAIGHT EDGE AND LEVEL. IF A FLOOR IS OF QUESTIONABLE SLOPE, CONSIDER A SURVEY OF THE SITE AND/OR THE POSSIBILITY OF POURING A NEW LEVEL CONCRETE SLAB.

IMPORTANT: NEW CONCRETE MUST BE ADEQUATELY CURED AT LEAST 30 DAYS MINIMUM. NO LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGES WILL BE ACCEPTED SHOULD YOU INSTALL THE LIFT ON AN UNSUITABLE FLOOR.

5.3 IMPORTANT CONCRETE AND ANCHORING INFORMATION

1. Concrete shall have compression strength of at least 3,000 PSI and a minimum thickness

of 4”. Measure the length of the supplied anchor bolts in order to achieve a minimum anchor embedment of 3-1/4”. If the top of the anchor exceeds 2” above the oor grade, you DO NOT have enough embedment.

2. Before drilling 3/4” dia. Holes in concrete oor using holes in column base plate as guide,

make sure the hole distance from the edge of the concrete or any cracks is no less than 8”.

3. DANGER: DO NOT Install on asphalt or other similar unstable surface. Columns are

supported only by anchoring in oor.

4. 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). Torque anchors to 85 ft-lbs. Shim thickness MUST NOT exceed 1/2”.

5. If anchors do not tighten to 85 ft-lbs installation torque, replace concrete under each

column base with a 4’ x 4’ x 6” thick 3,000 PSI minimum concrete pad pinned to the existing concrete and ush with the top of existing oor. Let concrete cure at least 30 days before installing lifts and anchors.

5.4 ANCHORING TIP SHEET

1. Use a concrete hammer drill with a carbide tip, solid drill bit the same diameter as the

anchor, 3/4”. (.775 to .787 inches diameter). Do not use excessively worn bits or bits

which have been incorrectly sharpened�

2. Keep the drill perpendicular to the concrete while drilling.

3. Let the drill do the work. Do not apply excessive pressure. Lift the drill up and down

occasionally to remove residue to reduce binding.

4. Drill the hole for anchor bolt completely through the concrete. If an error is made during

the installation of these anchors, this will allow for the anchor bolt to be driven down into the ground, so that a new anchor may be installed in place (g.1).

5� Be sure to clean all dust from hole� (g. 2).

6. Place a at washer and hex nut over threaded end of anchor, leaving approximately 1/4

inch of thread exposed above the nut (g.3). Carefully tap anchor into the concrete until nut and at washer are against base plate. Be sure to only tap the top of the anchor and not the nut. This could cause damage to the threads of the anchor.

7. Tighten the nut (g. 4) to 85 ft-lbs of torque (typically this should only be two to three full

turns).

DO NOT USE AN IMPACT WRENCH TO TIGHTEN ANCHORS!

6-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

PLEASE READ THIS INSTRUCTION BEFORE STARTING TO OPERATE THE LIFT.

1) After unloading the lift, place it near the intended installation location.

2) Remove the shipping bands and packing materials

from the unit.

3) Remove the packing brackets and bolts holding the

two columns together. Check to ensure all parts arrived according to the parts list.

4) Once the lift location is decided, chalk the center line

in the bay and ensure that the proper lift placement

is observed from walls and obstacles. Also check the ceiling height for clearance in this location. NOTE: the power unit column can be placed

on either side.

5) Assemble the overhead crossbar for model HD2P-9KCL. This is also a good time to

mount the brackets for the safety shut-off bar, the bar itself, and the shut-off switch. (Be sure to leave bolts hand-tight.)

6) Position the columns facing each other 132.25” from the outside of the base plates,

then raise each carriage to the rst safety lock. NOTE: The power unit column is referred to as the main side column and the non power unit column is referred to as the offside

column.

7) Using a 3/4” concrete drill bit, drill the anchor holes in the main side column, installing

anchors as you go (see Fig. 11, page 31). Use a block of wood or rubber mallet to drive

anchor bolts in.

8) Using a level , check column for side-to-side plumb and front-to-back plumb. Using

3/4” washers or shim stock, place shims as close as possible to the hole locations as needed. Torque 3/4” anchor bolts to 85 ft-lbs. NOTE: DO NOT USE IMPACT WRENCH.

9) Using a tape measure, measure diagonally from the face of one column to the opposite

face of the other to ensure that the columns are square (see below). After conrming the dimensions, install the overhead crossbar to the top of the columns (hand-tight). BEFORE drilling the anchors for the offside column, ensure the column is square and double check measurements. Drill the anchor holes in the offside column, installing anchors as you go. Check front to back and side to side plumb before torquing anchors

to 85 ft-lbs. Use shims as needed.

*As a reference - the distance between columns should be 110�25” at the top and at the bottom of the lift�*
