8.10 Initial Operation 1. Add hydraulic fluid to reservoir (ISO 32 10wt). Oil capacity for the lift is approximately 6 gallons. IMPORTANT: Shop air must be connected to the inlet port at the FRL unit in the console, in order for lift to operate. 2.
PLUG Figure 18- Remove fitting. Figure 19- Cap port using plug provided. 8.11 Equalizing Function Check Check: To verify that the pneumatic switches are functioning, remove the rear panel on the console and locate the five (5) Din Connector/Solenoid assemblies; (four (4) on manifold block and one (1) on the pump).
8.12 Maximum Height Adjustment The lift has been pre-adjusted at the factory to a 72” working height. If a lower height limit is required, the system can be adjusted to a minimum of 43”. 1. Raise lift to full height by pressing the up button (do not press the by-pass button). 2.
8.13 Level and Support NOTICE - CORRECT LEVELING IS IMPORTANT TO ENSURE THE PROPER OPERATION OF THE LIFT. TAKE PRECAUTIONS TO ENSURE ACCURATE LEVEL READINGS WHEN PERFORMING THIS PROCEDURE Side-to-side leveling measurements should be taken off the baseframe, and measurements should be taken on each baseframe as well as between the two baseframes.
4. Verify that the baseframes are level side-to-side and that the runways are level front-to-back. The front turnplate and rear slip plate are the areas of interest. Check that the spacing between the runways is as desired, and that this spacing is equal at both the front and rear of the lift.
8.15 Grouting Procedure (Optional) 1. Pour grouting under the load area of each base frame as shown in Figure 24. Ensure that grout is evenly distributed under the frame and finish the edges with a 45 degree chamfer. Refer to specific grouting instructions on the package.
9.0 ACCESSORY INSTALLATION 1. Install the front runway stops located in the accessory box using the M12 hex bolts, washers, lock washers, and hex nuts located in the hardware kit. (See Figure 25) Hex Nut Hex Bolt Flat Washer Lock Washer Figure 25 - Runway Stops Installation The runway stops are designed as a secondary means to restrain a vehicle from inadvertently rolling off the runways.
Page 34
3. Position the moveable workstep in the desired location. There are slots along the span of each runway where the workstep can be mounted. When not in use, the workstep can be stored under the front section of the runway. (See Figure 27) Figure 27 - Position Movable Workstep WARNING!! ENSURE THE WORKSTEP IS FULLY ENGAGED PRIOR TO USE.
9.1 Installation of Line Covers 1. Install line covers once console is installed and hydraulic lines are routed. 2. Position line cover “A” behind the base frames as shown. 3. Place line cover “B” close to line cover “A”, and adjust the position to make the square holes of the line cover “B”...

10.0 LOCKING FRONT TURNPLATES & REAR SLIP PLATES (OPTIONAL) 10.1 Installation of Front Turnplates Avoid inserting fingers in the front alignment pan cut-out, if position of the turnplate assembly exposes such openings. Ensure that air supply to the lift is turned off and no person is operating on the console during maintenance of clamping elements of the locking system.
Page 39
Ensure that the locking system components on the bottom of the turnplate (air cylinder, fittings, and plastic clamping parts) are not hit against the runway during placement. Connect free ends of front air lines to the turnplate locking cylinder: blue air line to the cylinder port marked with a blue dot and red air line to the cylinder port marked with a red dot [Figure 33 shown below].
10.2 Console Connections for Locking & Lights Locking & Light System 1. Connect the (2) red & blue polytubes from lift to corresponding “y” fitting in the console (see Detail C). 2. Connect the 4mm polytube labeled “Return” to pushlock fitting on the LED driver box. Connect the other 4mm polytube labeled “Supply”...
Page 41
4. Once all connections are made, test system as follows: a. Light System - Lift must be fully collapsed. Start raising lift. At approximately 30” from the ground, the lights will illuminate. If not, please check that the 4mm polytube connections are correct as they may be reversed.
11.0 FINAL PROCEDURES 11.1 Check of Assembled Lift 1. Final dimension check after anchoring. ____ 2. Check for air and hydraulic leaks. ____ 3. Re-check level of decks, front to rear, side to side. ____ 4. Check all fasteners, tighten if necessary. ____ 5.
12.0 LIFT OPERATION 12.1 Raising the Lift 1. If the lift is equipped with sliding Jack Beam(s), be sure that the Beam(s) are positioned at the front or mid travel of the lift, fully down, and with the risers removed and stored. Never store Jack Beams at the rear of the lift.
13.0 RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE The following maintenance schedule is recommended for ensuring the operation of the lift. A record of maintenance performed should be maintained and any items that resulted in additional service should be noted. Schedule Maintenance Required Check that the upper and lower glide tracks are clean and free of debris.
13.2 Maintenance of Turnplate & Slip Plate Locking System (Opt.) Observe locking mechanisms with every lift rise for air line connection integrity. Also ensure that no foreign objects are trapped in the clamping components. Once a week inspect the mating conical surfaces of the front turn table locking mechanism. If necessary, blow with compressed air or wipe with a clean cloth any road dust, salt or other contaminants, including liquids.

4) Slowly turn each manual override thumbscrew in the counterclockwise direction. The lift should not come down at this point. 5) Locate the descent valve on the hydraulic power unit, see Figure 39. Figure 39 - Image of descent valves 6) Locate the manual override thumbscrew (red) on the top of the descent valve, see Figure 7) Verbally indicate to all those involved that the lift will now be lowered.
Page 51
9) Keep a close eye on the movement of the lift and the position of the vehicle; A: turn the manual override thumbscrew clockwise if any abnormal movement is detected. B: Push in and turn the manual override thumbscrew clockwise into the locked position. 10) Once the lift is fully lowered: A: Turn the override thumbscrew in the clockwise direction until tight.
15.0 TROUBLE SHOOTING PROBLEM REASON SOLUTION Motor does no turn. Bad fuse or circuit breaker. Replace fuse or reset breaker. Incorrect voltage to motor. Provide proper voltage to motor.
