The EPLUS L-2040D Electro-Hydraulic 2-Post Lift is a robust and efficient lifting solution designed for automotive maintenance and repair. This assembly manual, version 19.9.1, provides detailed instructions for the setup and installation of the lift, ensuring proper and safe operation.
Function Description:
The EPLUS L-2040D is an electro-hydraulic two-post lift primarily used for elevating vehicles to provide access for various maintenance and repair tasks. Its hydraulic system, powered by an electric motor, allows for smooth and controlled lifting and lowering of vehicles. The two-post design offers unobstructed access to the underside of the vehicle, making it suitable for a wide range of automotive services, including oil changes, tire rotations, brake inspections, and more complex repairs. The lift incorporates security locks to ensure the vehicle remains safely elevated during operation. Synchronization cables are crucial for maintaining an even lift across both columns, preventing tilting and ensuring stability.
Important Technical Specifications (Inferred from assembly steps):
- Type: Electro-Hydraulic 2-Post Lift
- Model: L-2040D
- Anchoring: Requires drilling into the floor for secure installation. The manual specifies a percussion drilling chopping bit of 18.5mm diameter and a depth of 150mm for anchor bolts.
- Column Alignment: Critical for safe operation, requiring precise measurement of the distance between columns and ensuring they face each other accurately. Spirit level measurement is used to ensure columns are vertical at 90 degrees.
- Hydraulic System: Utilizes a power unit and oil hoses to link to two cylinders, indicating a hydraulic lifting mechanism.
- Safety Features: Includes security locks on both command and slave columns, as well as an up limit switch to prevent over-lifting.
- Synchronization: Employs synchronization cables to ensure both carriages lift and lower uniformly.
Usage Features:
- Ease of Assembly: The manual breaks down the assembly process into logical, step-by-step instructions, starting from unpacking and component identification.
- Clear Installation Guidance: Detailed visuals and numbered steps guide the user through each stage of installation, from positioning the columns to installing the hydraulic system and safety features.
- Operator Zone Definition: The manual implicitly defines an "operator zone" and "install area," suggesting considerations for workspace layout during installation.
- Adjustable Components: The use of bushes under the column baseplate for adjustment, aided by a spirit level, highlights the precision required and the adjustability built into the system for optimal setup.
- Arm and Crossing Plate Installation: The inclusion of arms and a crossing plate indicates the lift's capability to accommodate various vehicle types and provide stable support.
- Protection Hood: The U-shape protection hood suggests a feature designed to protect internal components or the user from moving parts.
Maintenance Features (Inferred from assembly steps):
- Accessible Components: The design appears to allow for relatively straightforward installation and potential future access to key components like the power unit, oil hoses, and lock cables, which are crucial for maintenance.
- Secure Fastening: The emphasis on tightening screw nuts "to be dead" indicates the importance of secure fastening for long-term stability and safety, a key aspect of maintenance.
- Dust Removal: The instruction to "air purge to remove dust inside of hole" during anchoring suggests a best practice for ensuring the longevity and effectiveness of the anchor bolts, which is a form of preventative maintenance during installation.
- Cable Management: The installation of oil hose covers and lock covers implies a design consideration for protecting these vital components from damage and wear, contributing to the lift's overall durability and reducing maintenance needs.
- Limit Switch: The "up limit switch" is a critical safety and maintenance feature, preventing the lift from exceeding its maximum height and potentially causing damage or injury.
- Synchronization Cable Adjustment: While not explicitly detailed in the assembly steps provided, the presence of synchronization cables implies a need for periodic inspection and potential adjustment to ensure balanced lifting, a common maintenance task for such lifts.
