⚠ DANGER All wiring
must
be performed by a licensed, certified Electrician.
The Electrician needs to do these things:
• Connect the selected power source to the bottom of the Power Disconnect
Switch. Required. This is generally done when the Power Unit is being connected.
• Connect the Power Unit to the top of the Power Disconnect Switch. Required. This is
generally done when the Power Unit is being connected.
• Install a
Thermal
Disconnect Switch. Optional. BendPak recommends connecting a
Thermal Disconnect Switch or overload device (not supplied) to make sure the equipment shuts
down in the event of an overload or an overheated motor. Refer to Install a Thermal
Disconnect Switch for more information.
Select a Site
Keep the following in mind when selecting a site for your Autostacker:
• Enough space. Make sure there is adequate space for the Autostacker on all four sides, plus
enough height for the Vehicles you will be lifting. If architectural plans are available, use them to
make sure there is adequate space for your planned layout.
• No overhead obstructions. Make sure the site is free of overhead obstructions such as
heaters, building supports, electrical lines, lights, and so on.
• Concrete specifications. Do not install the lift on cracked or defective Concrete. Make sure
the concrete is at least 4.25 inches thick, 3,000 psi, and cured for at least 28 days if recently
poured. Make sure the floor is defect-free, dry, and level.
⚠ WARNING Do not install your Autostacker on a surface with 3° or more of slope. A 3° degree
slope or greater could lead to property damage, personal injury, or death.
• Power. You will need a power source available near the Console. For a 220 VAC, single-phase
circuit, use a 25 amp or greater fuse. For a 380 VAC, three-phase circuit, use a 20 amp or greater
fuse.
• Operating temperature. Autostacker is designed to be used between temperatures of 0°F to
104°F (-20°C to 40°C).
• Indoor installation. Autostacker is designed for indoor installations.
• Outdoor installation. Autostacker is not designed for outdoor use. It has an operating ambient
temperature range of 0ºF to 104ºF (-20ºC to 40ºC). If operation below this temperature is required,
contact autostacker.com/support for more information. Do not operate your Autostacker in
rain or extremely damp locations. It is water resistant, not waterproof, and water damage is not
covered under the warranty. Outdoor installations can be accommodated in certain regions
if
optional moisture preventative devices are ordered and installed. Coastal locations often require
additional maintenance due to highly corrosive airborne ocean salt. Although parts of your Lift are
made of galvanized metal and protected by commercial-grade powder coat, take additional
precautions by damp washing all exposed surfaces approximately every three months. Do not
allow grass clippings, leaves, or other debris to accumulate on your Autostacker. If you use your
Autostacker outdoors, clean it daily and lubricate it every week.
• Second floor installs. Do not install the Autostacker on a second floor or elevated floor without
first consulting the building architect and getting their approval.
