IMPORTANT : It is the shop owner's responsibility to provide a satisfactory installation
area for the lift. Lifts should only be installed indoors on level concrete floors with a
minimum of 4 inches (102mm) and 3000 psi (20.7MPa) concrete that has been aged a
minimum of 30 days. Please consult a qualified individual if any doubt exists concerning
proper installation and subsequent safe operation of the lift. Do not install the lift on asphalt
or outdoors.
Prior to installation, it is the shop owner's responsibility to provide constant electrical power
in the correct voltage, phase, etc., and all wiring for electrical hook-up of the lift. The shop
owner must insure that the electrical installation conforms to local building and safety codes.
Where required, the shop owner will provide an electrical isolation switch located in close
proximity to the lift. This switch will have an emergency stop capability and isolate electrical
power from the lift for servicing requirements.
Hydraulic oil cannot be shipped with the lift and will be supplied by either the shop owner or
the installer. ISO 32 hydraulic oil (10W non detergent hydraulic oil) must be used to fill the
reservoir tank before operating the lift.
It is the shop owner's responsibility to train all operators in
lift operation and safety.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using your garage equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
1. Read all instructions
2. Care must be taken as burns can result from touching hot parts
3. Do not operate equipment with a damaged cord or if equipment has been dropped or
damaged – until it has been examined by a qualified service person
4. Do not let a cord hang over the edge of the table, bench, or counter or come in
contact with hot manifolds or moving fan blades
5. Let equipment cool completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely around
equipment when storing
6. To reduce risk of fire, do not operate equipment in the vicinity of open containers of
flammable liquids (gasoline)
7. Adequate ventilation should be provided when working on operating internal
combustion engines
8. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from moving parts
9. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use on wet surfaces or expose to rain
10. Use only as directed in this manual. Use only manufacturer’s recommended

Safety Continued
Basic common sense safety precautions should always be followed when installing, operating
and maintaining the lift as a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury may be present.
In addition:
1. Read and follow all safety instructions and decals included with the lift. Read and follow
all safety instructions in this manual. Read and follow the ALI "Lifting It Right" manual included with the lift. Always use the "Vehicle Lifting Points" reference guide when lifting a
vehicle – CD is included with the lift. Insure all materials stay up to date »» www.autolift.org/
2. Only trained and authorized personnel should position a vehicle and operate the lift. Do
not allow customers or bystanders to operate the lift or be in the lift area.
3. Inspect the lift daily. Do not operate if potential problems have been identified or lift
malfunctions. Do not operate if lift has damaged or broken components. Never walk or
work under the lift unless all safety locks are completely engaged.
4. Never overload the lift. The rated capacity decal is located on the powerpack column. The
hydraulic system on this lift is not designed to be a load holding devise. Mechanical safety
locks must be engaged before proceeding under the lift, with vehicle servicing, or system
maintenance. Never override operating controls. This is unsafe and will void the warranty.
5. Before driving a vehicle between the columns, position all arms to insure unobstructed
entry. Do not hit or run over arms as this could damage the lift and/or vehicle.
6. Use all 4 arms to raise a vehicle. Position all lift pads to contact vehicle manufacturer's
recommended lifting points (see "Vehicle Lifting Points" reference guide CD included with the lift). Raise lift
slowly until all pads contact the vehicle. Check all pads for complete and secure contact
with the vehicle. Check all arm restraints to insure they are engaged properly. Check
that vehicle is stable on the lift. Only after confirming these procedures, raise the lift to
desired working height.
7. Special care must be used when lifting pick-up trucks. Optional truck adapters may be
required to reach manufacturer recommended lifting points. Always use these lifting
points. Running boards and other installed accessories may also require optional adapters
Insure contents of the cargo box will not affect vehicle balance while on the lift.
8. Important: Removal or installation of heavier parts can change the vehicle's center of
gravity on the lift resulting in a critical load shift. The vehicle may then be unstable. Plan
ahead for this possibility to insure continued safety and refer to the vehicle manufacturer’s
service manual for recommended procedures.
9. Always keep the lift area free of obstructions and debris. Clean up grease and oil spills
immediately.
10. Never raise a vehicle with passengers inside. Before lowering a vehicle, check the lift and
lift area and remove all obstructions. Before removing vehicle from the lift or lift area,
position arms to the drive through position and confirm an unobstructed exit.

Pre Installation Procedures
Before proceeding with installation, read the installation manual and insure all instructions
are fully understood and all component parts are accounted for.
1. In the installation area, identify the center line of the bay and mark the floor. Also mark
the center of bay entrance door. Connect these two points with a short chalk line in the
area where lift will be located. Draw a second chalk line at 90° to locate the positions of
both lift columns (refer to lift dimensions and bay layout on page 6). Insure each lift column is
equal distance from bay centerline and each baseplate maintains a minimum distance of
6 inches from any floor seam. Do not install if floor has cracks or deterioration that could
affect lift stability. The shop owner is responsible for confirming there are no obstructions
in the installation area like floor drains, under floor piping or electrical conduit that could
be damaged or prevent safe lift installation and secure lift anchoring. Check ceiling for
beams or heating ducts and walls for protruding structures, etc.. Model TLS210SRR 1/3
has two possible overall heights - 148½ inches or 138½ inches. Model TLS210SXR 1/3
has an overall height of 172”. Confirm that the overall height you intend to install will fit
in the bay. Insure that the lift can be safely installed in the position you have marked out on
the bay floor.
2. Place the lift on wooden blocks so that the steel shipping frames can be removed.
3. Remove protective wrapping. Clear installation area of all packaging materials.
4. Unbolt steel shipping frames and remove from installation area.
5. Carefully remove top column and lay on the floor (carriage side up).
6. Carefully remove column extensions (2 pc), cross-member (3 pc), overhead safety bar,
arms (4 pc), powerpack and hardware box from the lower column.
7. Identify powerpack column (reference diagram #1). Move (carriage side up) to
appropriate location placing the baseplate end on your floor marks. Similarly, move the
second column to the opposite location.
