INSTALLATION
Improper installation can cause accelerated wear, resulting in catastrophic failure
which may cause property damage and / or bodily injury. Manufacturer will
assume no liability for loss or damage of any kind, expressed or implied,
resulting from improper installation or use of this product. Read this installation
manual in its entirety before attempting to install or operate the lift.
STEP 1 SELECTING SITE
Before installing your new lift, check the following.
z OVERHEAD OBSTRUCTIONS: The area where the lift will be located should be
free of overhead obstructions such as heaters, building supports, electrical lines etc.
z FLOOR REQUIREMENTS: Visually inspect the site where the lift is to be installed
and check for cracked or defective concrete. This lift must be installed on a solid
level concrete floor with no more than 2 degrees of slope. A level floor is suggested
for proper i
nstallation and level lifting. If a floor is of questionable slope, consider a
survey of the site and/or the possibility of pouring a new level concrete slab. This
lift is designed to be installed on a minimum of 4" thick, 3500psi, steel reinforced
concrete. Do not install this lift on asphalt, wood, or any other surface other than
described. This lift is only as strong as the foundation on which it is installed.
z DO NOT install this lift outdoors unless special consideration has been made to protect
the power unit from weather conditions. The Power unit is not water proof!!!
z DO NOT install lift close to wall. It is necessary to leave adequate clearance for safety
walking. Suggest clearance be 1 meter (3 feet) at min.

POWER UNIT PRIMING PROCEDURE
THE PROBLEM: Power unit runs fine but will not pump any fluid.
Step 1 – Locate the check valve, the flush plug to the left of the lowering valve.
(See drawing below.)
Step 2 – Using an Allen wrench and shop towel – with shop towel in place to catch
fluid – loosen the check valve plug 2 ½ turns to allow it to leak.
Step 3 – Push the START button for one second, then release for three seconds.
Repeat these steps until unit starts pumping fluid.
Step 4 – Tighten the check valve plug.
YOUR POWER UNIT SHOULD BE PRIMED
