GrandPrix (GP-7 Series) Two-Post Lifts 16 P/N 5900209 — August 2018 — Rev. C2
Unloading and Unpacking
Unload the lift components as close to the installation location as possible.
Once the components are unloaded, they are your responsibility to move around. The lift includes a
number of heavy pieces, so the closer you unload them to the installation location, the better off you
will be.
⚠ WARNING Some lift components are very heavy; if handled incorrectly, they can damage
materials like tile, sandstone, and brick. Try to handle the lift components just twice:
once when delivered and once when moved into position. You must have a forklift
or crane to move some of the lift components into position. Use care when moving
them around.
Installation Orientation
To determine the front of your lift, drive a vehicle in straight (do not back it in) and stop. The front of the
lift is where the front of the vehicle is.
The approach is the direction you drive a vehicle onto the lift. Generally the approach is from the rear of
the lift towards the front of the lift.
The orientation of the procedures and drawings in this manual is looking at the lift from the rear,
towards the front, unless specified otherwise. This is the same orientation as shown in the image in the
Components section.
This means that:
• The Powerside Post (which holds the Lowering Handle and the Power Unit) is on the right, the
Offside Post is on the left.
• The
Hydraulic Cylinder end
of the Top Trough is installed on the right, above the Power Unit.
• The two angled arms are at the ‘front’ of the lift.
• The two straight arms are at the ‘rear’ of the lift.
Tip You are not required to use this same orientation. Keep in mind, however, that if you
choose to put the Powerside Post on the left, for example, some of the instructions may
need to be reversed.
Putting in Chalk Line Guides
Based on the specifications for your lift, create Chalk Line Guides on the ground for the two posts prior
to moving them into position.
Use the Width Overall value in Specifications
for your lift model
to determine where to place the
Chalk Line Guides. The Width Overall value is defined as the distance from the back of one base plate
to the back of the other base plate.
