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 liftd 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 operator console. The
hydraulic system on this lift is not designed to be a load holding device. Mechanical safety
locks must be engaged before proceeding under the lift for vehicle servicing or lift
maintenance. Never override operating controls. This is unsafe and will void the warranty.
5. Before driving a vehicle onto the lift, insure that both slip plates and turn plates have all
lock mechanisms securely in position. Also insure that the lift and lift area is clear of all
debris and that all oil and grease has been cleaned from runway surfaces.
6. Before raising or lowering the lift, always totally secure the vehicle with wheel chocks.
7. When using a jack(s) to raise a vehicle, position jack lifting pads to contact vehicle
manufacturer's recommended lifting points (see CD included with the lift). Raise jack slowly
until all pads contact the vehicle. Confirm that the vehicle is stable on the jack(s) before
raising to desired working height.
8. Some pickup trucks may require optional truck adapters to clear running boards and other
installed accessories. Special care must be exercised with pick-up trucks to insure safe
lifting. Always use vehicle manufacturers lifting points and insure the contents of the
cargo box will not affect vehicle balance while on the jack(s).
9. Important: Removal or installation of heavier parts can change the vehicle's center of
gravity on the jack(s) 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.
10. Always keep the lift area free of obstructions and debris. Grease and oil spills should be
cleaned up immediately.
11. Never raise a vehicle on the lift with passengers inside. Before lowering, check the lift
and lift area and remove all obstructions. Before removing vehicle from the lift or lift
area, 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.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT CUT THE SHIPPING STRAPS HOLDING EACH RUNWAY
ASSEMBLY TOGETHER UNTIL INSTRUCTED TO DO SO (step 3 – page 10).
1. Identify pit center line near the front and mark the floor.
Also mark the center of pit at the rear. Connect these
two points with a chalk line. Locate the position for the
front of the lift and draw a second chalk line at 90° to
the centerline (this will be used to position the fronts of both
runway assemblies - refer to lift dimensions on pages 7 & 8).
2. At the front, measure 20 inches out from either side
of the centerline and mark the floor. Near where the
rear of the lift will be, measure 20 inches out from
either side of the centerline and mark the floor. Using
these marks draw two parallel chalk lines the length of
the lift (these will be used to position the inside edge of each
base frame).

3. Carefully remove accessory box, (rolling air/hydraulic jack(s), and
turnplate boxes if applicable) from on top of runway assemblies.
Identify top runway assembly (see diagram to the right > >).
Move it to its proper position on the chalk lines you have marked.
Use extreme care not to damage preinstalled hydraulic, air and
electrical lines stored under the rear of each runway assembly.
Remove approach ramps from lower runway assembly and set
off to one side. Position second runway assembly on the chalk
lines you have marked. Confirm that turnplate pockets are at
the front of the bay and that all base frame edges are a minimum
6 inches from any floor seam. All anchor bolts must also be a
minimum of 6 inches away from any floor seam. Do not install if
floor has cracks or deterioration that could affect lift stability or
safety. 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 would
prevent safe lift installation and secure lift anchoring. Check
ceiling for beams or heating ducts and walls for protruding
structures, etc.. Insure that the lift can be safely installed in the
position you have marked on the bay floor. Remove all packaging
material from installation area.
