IMPORTANT!
RECEIVING & HANDLING
1. Unloading the Lift
It’s recommended to use a forklift that can handle about 2,000 to 2,500 pounds and operates
on a smooth surface.
2. Un-banding the Lift
The steel bands which secure the lift parts to the pallets are heavy duty. You’ll need a pair of
metal shears or tin snips to cut the bands. Be very careful when doing this because the bands
will tend to fly apart when they are cut, and the heavy lift parts may shift when freed from the
bands. Stand to the side of the bands when you cut them, and use gloves when removing the
cut bands because they have sharp edges.
3. Moving Lift Components
You can move the larger components pieces to the garage or service bay with the forklift.
Some of the smaller pieces can be moved by two or more people by carrying them. If you have
several people helping, some of the larger pieces can be moved manually.

INSTALLATION
(Ensure to Read the Operating Instructions before Operating Lift)
Make sure you have someone to assist with installation as most of the lift components are big, heavy,
and cumbersome. The lift column alone weighs about 330 lbs. by itself. The platform frame &
aluminum decking weighs around 200 lbs. together.
It is possible for two people to install this lift if they have the appropriate lifting and handling
equipment, but it is definitely easier and faster if there are several people available to help maneuver
the heavy components into place. As with any assembly involving big heavy materials, safety
considerations are a must. Though this lift is more difficult to install than some other Lifts due to the
single post design, once installed the lift design & features makes it extremely effective for residential
garages, shops and storage facilities.
DESCRIPTION OF THE LIFTING SYSTEM COMPONENTS

IMPORTANT!
The major piece of the lift is the column assembly. It consists of the carriage, hydraulic cylinder, chain
hydraulic hose and safety latch release cable already pre-assembled. The column assembly will
have a bracket on the side, which will be used for installing the power unit later. The cylinder in the
column may appear to be loose in the column, this is normal. After installation, when the platform is
raised under power, the cylinder should stabilize itself in an upright plumb position.
STEP 1
Carefully remove the shipping brackets. There is one bracket bolted to the underside of the column
(Figs. 3, 4, 5) and another bracket bolted to the side of the column (Figs. 6, 7, 8).
Fig. 3 Fig. 4 Fig. 5
Fig. 6 Fig. 7 Fig. 8
NOTE: If the base of the cylinder is not properly located in the center hole of the column’s
baseplate, it will be required to position it into the base plate hole before lifting the column
upright (Figs.9 & 10). If required, ensure to slide the carriage to base of the column, while
pulling the lock-release cable at the same time (Fig.11).

STEP 2
Using two people, carefully stand the column upright and maneuver to the predetermined location
(Figs.12 & 13).
Fig. 12 Fig. 13
STEP 3
Before proceeding, double check measurements and make certain that the base of the column is
properly aligned and in the desired location before anchoring column to floor.
a) Using the base plate on the column as a guide, drill each anchor hole into concrete using a
rotary hammer drill and 3/4” concrete drill-bit. To assure full holding power, do not ream the
hole or allow the drill to wobble. (See Anchoring Details on Page 4)
b) After drilling, remove dust thoroughly from each hole using compressed air and/or wire brush.
c) Assemble the washers and nuts on anchors then tap into each hole with a block of wood or
rubber hammer until the washer rests against the base plate. If shimming is required, ensure
that enough threads are left exposed to properly tighten.
d) Using a level, check that the column is plumb (sides only). If shimming is required, use
supplied Shim stock or 3/4” washers, placing shims as close as possible to the anchor holes
locations. This will prevent potential bending for the column base.
e) With the shims and anchor bolts in place, tighten by securing the nut to the base then turning
2-3 full turns clockwise. Ensure anchor bolts are tightened to a minimum of 130 ft-lbs. of
torque. DO NOT use an impact wrench for this procedure.
STEP 4
Remove Aluminum Decking & secure Platform Frame to Carriage using M20 Bolts, Washers & Nuts.
Once Platform is mounted, place Aluminum Decking back on the Platform (Figs. 14, 15 & 16).

STEP 5
a) Attach the power unit to the mount bracket on the side of the Column using the M8 Bolts,
Washer and Lock Nuts supplied with Power Unit (Fig.17).
b) Remove the red plug from valve body and install the Elbow Fitting (Figs. 18 & 19).
Fig. 17 Fig. 18 Fig. 19
c) Connect one end of the Hydraulic Hose to the Elbow Fitting installed on Power Unit (Fig. 20).
d) Connect the other end of Hydraulic Hose to the cylinder fitting located on the lower backside of
Column (Fig.21).
NOTE: Ensure all hydraulic connections are properly tightened. Do Not Over Tighten.
Fig. 20 Fig. 21
e) Remove black vent cap from power unit’s reservoir and fill with hydraulic oil. Make sure the
funnel used to fill the power unit is clean. Ensure Not to Fill Above Max Fill Line.
NOTE: Use Non-Detergent / Non-Foaming Hydraulic Oil - SAE-10, AW 32 or equivalent. The
Power Unit’s reservoir holds approximately 6 quarts of fluid.
f) (Optional) Secure Hydraulic Hose to Column using Hose Clamps & M4 Screws.
STEP 6
Connect the power unit’s cord with plug w/ grounding pin to electrical 110-115VAC power source. If an
extension cord is required, ensure the proper gauge extension cord is used. If there is any question
on the power source requirements, please consult an electrician.
STEP 7
Recheck all bolts for tightness. Installation is now complete.
The SC-2K Lift is now ready for Operation

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Fig. 24
To Raise, push the power switch button on the power unit and hold while it the electric motor turns
on. The motor operates an internal pump that forces hydraulic oil into the lift piston, which extends the
piston rod & roller chain to raise the lift (Fig 22).
As the lift rises, an internal safety latch will pass over the steel
latch stops (rectangular blocks which protrude from the back,
inside of the lift column), and you will hear “clanks” as it does so.
This sound is normal, and indicates that the safety latch is passing
over the latch stops properly.
The lift is raised to the desired height by holding the switch button
in while it is rising, and releasing the button when the lift has
reached its desired position.
For safety, it is required to release the hydraulic pressure inside
the cylinder to lower the lift to nearest lower latch stop. To do this,
simply press down the release handle on the power unit. Then, the
lifting frame and carriage’s safety latch will rest on the latch stop
inside the column (Fig 22).
Fig. 22
To Lower, first you need to depress the power switch button a second or two to raise the lift up a
little. Then, pull the safety latch release cable to disengage the safety latch to fully lower. After that
press down the release handle again and hold (Fig. 23).
The weight of the vehicle will cause the lift to lower by gravity. No
power is required to be applied to the power unit while lowering, but
the safety latch must be disengaged to allow the lift to lower past the
latch stops.
After the installation is complete, raise the lift about two feet high
and then fully lower. Repeat this process two or three times and
check reservoir fluid level, while fully lowered. Only add hydraulic
fluid to the reservoir’s fill line, if necessary. This assures that
hydraulic oil is properly distributed throughout the hydraulic system.
Fig. 23
NOTE: Only add hydraulic fluid to the reservoir with the lift in the fully “down” position. If you
fill the reservoir in the “up” position and then lower the lift, there will be too much hydraulic oil
in the system, and will possibly squirt out of the reservoir tank.
Platform Adjustment:
To adjust the Platform levelness, adjust the 3ea bolts & nuts on the
underside of the Platform Frame (Fig. 24).

RAISING A VEHICLE
With Lift in the fully lowered position, carefully drive or push vehicle (Lawnmower or ATV) onto
Platform until relatively centered. Then, set parking brake.
NOTE: Ensure wheels are positioned on the Platform Frame only. Aluminum Decking is not
designed to be load bearing.
Depress the “up” button and the vehicle will rise. Raise the vehicle until it is near the ceiling of the
garage.
BE CAREFUL NOT TO RAISE THE VEHICLE SO HIGH THAT IT STRIKES THE CEILING! BE
AWARE OF ANYTHING THAT PROTRUDES FROM THE CEILING, LIKE LIGHTBULBS, GARAGE
DOOR OPENERS OR DOOR TRACKS. IT IS VERY HELPFUL IF YOU HAVE A SPOTTER ON A
LADDER TO TELL YOU WHEN YOU ARE NEAR THE CEILING FOR THE FIRST LIFT!
When the vehicle is in the correct position, it is useful to mark the
position of the carriage relative to the column with two pieces of
electrical tape or a felt tip marker. When you make future lifts, all you
have to do is operate the lift till the reference marks line up, and you
will know that the vehicle is in the right position. If you alternate
vehicles that you will lift, you will need a separate set of reference
marks for each. The higher you lift the raised vehicle, the more
headroom you will have to enter and exit the one you park
underneath.
MISCELLANEOUS
It may be useful to spray paint the ends of the Platform with a bright
fluorescent color to help catch your eye and avoid head bumps,
while the lift is in the raised position.
The hydraulic oil should be replaced every two years, and the inside
corners of the lift leg should be re-greased with a general-purpose
axle grease every year, or as it becomes apparent that it needs it.
