Installation
The installation process includes multiple steps. Perform them in the order listed.
Reviewing the Safety Rules
When installing a Lift, your safety depends on proper training and thoughtful operation.
⚠ WARNING Do not install this equipment unless you have automotive lift installation training.
Always use proper lifting tools, such as a Forklift or Shop Crane, to raise heavy
components. Do not install this equipment without reading and understanding this
Manual and the Labels on the unit.
Only fully trained personnel should be involved in installing this equipment. Pay attention at all times.
Use appropriate tools and lifting equipment. Stay clear of moving parts.
⚠ WARNING You must wear appropriate protective equipment at all times during installation:
leather gloves, steel-toed work boots, eye protection, back belts, and hearing
protection.
Preparing for Electrical Work
You will need to have a licensed Electrician available at some point during the installation.
⚠ DANGER All wiring must be performed by a licensed Electrician. Verify all electrical work
conforms to applicable local, state, and federal codes, rules, and regulations.
Notify your Electrician in advance so they arrive prepared with the items required to connect to the
facility’s power system or an appropriate power cord with plug for connecting to an appropriate power
source, a Power Disconnect Switch, and a Thermal Disconnect Switch. These items are not supplied
with the Lift.
The Electrician needs to:
• Connect to power. The Power Unit comes with a pigtail for wiring to a power source. Have your
Electrician connect a power cord with plug to the electrical box on the Lift (for connection to a
power outlet) or have them wire it directly into the electrical system at the Lift location.
Note that installing the Power Unit and connecting the Power Unit to a power source are separate
procedures and are done at different times in the installation process. You do not need an
Electrician to install the Power Unit, but an Electrician is required to connect the Power Unit to
the power source.
• Install a Power Disconnect Switch. A Power Disconnect Switch is used to shut down the
Lift in the event of an electrical circuit fault, emergency situation, or when the Lift is being serviced.
Refer to Installing a Power Disconnect Switch for more information.
• Install a Thermal Disconnect Switch. A Thermal Disconnect Switch automatically shuts
down the equipment in the event of an overload or an overheated motor. Refer to Installing a
Thermal Disconnect Switch for more information.
