WARNING

ERTICAL

LEARANCE

Check the height of the area where the lift is to be

installed. Clearance should be calculated based on

the full raised height of the lift.

Failure by purchaser to

provide adequate clearance

could result in unsatisfactory

lift performance, property damage, or personal

injury.

LOORING

Be certain you have the proper concrete floor to

properly handle the loaded lift. Floor should be in

generally good condition with no large cracks,

spalling or deterioration.

Minimum requirements for concrete are 4 inches

minimum depth, with steel reinforcement, 3500

psi, cured for 28 days per local commercial

practice. This lift is designed to accommodate a 3

inch total variation in elevation at the base of the

four posts. Floor should be level within 1/2 inch from

side-to-side and 2 1/2 front-to-rear to avoid special

shimming. No anchors should be installed within 8

inches of any crack, edge, or expansion joint. If

these conditions cannot be met, a pad may be

poured to accommodate the lift.

Check with local building inspectors and/or permits

office for any special instructions or approvals

required for your installation.

A qualified person should be consulted to address

seismic loads and other local or state requirements.

Failure by purchaser to

provide the recommended

mounting surface could

result in unsatisfactory lift performance,

property damage, or personal injury.

OCATION

This lift has been evaluated for indoor use only with

an operating ambient temp. range of 5 – 40°C

(41-104°F)

LECTRICAL

EQUIREMENTS

For lift installation and operation it is necessary to

have a dedicated circuit with circuit breaker or time

delay fuse. Refer to wiring diagram for circuit sizing.

EQUIREMENTS

This lift is equipped with an air operated lock release

system. The air supplied to the lift must be clean,

dry, lubricated, and regulated to 90-120 psi, FRL

(Filter/Regulator/Lubricator). The FRL must be

within 30 feet of lift. Failure to provide clean, dry,

lubricated, and pressure regulated air will void

warranty on pneumatic components.

LAYOUT

1) Lay out the service bay according to the

architect’s plans or owners instructions, Fig 1.

Be certain that the proper conditions exist, see

page 3.

2) Unpack lift. Remove all packaging from Power

Runway (power runway has four cable sheaves

at rear end) and pull threaded cable ends out.

Make sure the cables are in the proper sheaves

at the 4-stack, Fig 3.

Model 4P14 Flat Deck, Closed Front

Installation, Operation and Maintenance

5 Rev 08/11/17

4P14-X-IOM-A.doc

Fig 3 – Power Runway 4-Stack (rear view)

3) Position runways on blocking (see Fig 4) per

layout lines established in step 1. Use four 30”

long 4x4’s spanning the width of the runway and

four 12” long 1x4’s to shim up the jack-rail side

of the runway. Cable #1, #3, & #4 should be

extending out from the rear of the power runway

and cable #2 from the front of the power runway,

Fig 4.

4) Position the front and rear cross beams, Fig 4.

(Both cross beams are identical.)

5) Reach in through either of the access holes in

the cross beam tube and pull out the roll of 4mm

dia. plastic air line connected to the air cylinder

at the end of the cross beam. Repeat for

opposite access hole and position the cross

beam near the end of the runways as in Fig 4.

POWER RUNWAY MUST USE OUTER SET OF HOLES

Fig 4 – Runway Layout

6) Remove the four (4) cross beam sheaves

(one sheave from each end) and the two idler

runway sheaves (also one sheave from each

end). The runway sheave pins do not need

to be removed, just lowered enough to

remove the sheaves.

7) Starting from the bottom of the sheave stack,

route cable #4 through the access hole and

up out the left end of the rear beam. Repeat

for cable #3 out the right end of the rear

beam. Route cable #1 through the access

hole, and back out the idler side access hole.

Look through the idler end of the cross

beam and ensure that cable #1 and #3

have not crossed.

8) Route cable #1 through the idler runway, into

the front cross beam access hole, and out

the right end of the front beam. (Don’t forget

to route it up over the cross-braces in the

bottom of the runway.)

9) Route left front cable #2 through the access

hole and up out the left end of the front

beam.

10) Reinstall the cross beam sheaves with one

plastic bearing washer on each side of each

sheave.

11) Reinstall the idler runway sheaves, with one

plastic bearing above and below each

sheave per figures 5 & 6. Note: use one

2 1/8” long spacer at the idler rear sheave

only.

12) Confirm that a 2 1/8” spacer is installed at the

rear of the idler runway and none at the front

of power or idler runways.

Fig 6 – Front Single-Stack (typical for idler and

power runways)

13) Attach both cross beams to the runways

(Fig. 4) with M12 x 35mm lg. flange head

bolts (two at each end of each runway) being

careful not to pinch the air line. Leave the air

lines hanging out the bottom of the cross

beam access holes at this time, they will be

fed in through the runway after the lift is

raised. The outermost power runway slots

should be in line with the outermost holes

in the top of the cross beam, see Fig. 4.

The idler runway can be installed using the

outer or inner sets of cross beam holes, see

“Width Between Runways” dimension in

Fig. 1. Do not torque bolts yet.

14) Check the layout of the lift in the bay. (This

is the last opportunity to reposition the

lift.) Adjust the position of the runways so

the distance from power side jack rail to idler

side jack rail is the same at the front and the

rear and the diagonal measurements from

the front tip of one rail to rear tip of the

opposite rail are within 1/4”, Fig 7.

15) Center cross beam bolts with slots in runway

and tighten. (Be careful not to move

runways.)

COLUMNS

16) Stand up a column assembly near each

corner of the lift (column with power unit

bracket goes at the 4-sheave-stack corner,

power rear) and check the locking ladder bar

orientation per Fig 8. Note that the center of

the threaded rod is offset (away from the

back of the column) from the center of the

ladder. Thread the locking ladder jam nut

(located under the column top plate) down

approximately 6” to allow the ladder to be

lifted freely.

ANCHORING

Model 4P14 Flat Deck, Closed Front

Installation, Operation and Maintenance

7 Rev 08/11/17

4P14-X-IOM-A.doc

20) The anchor bolts must be installed at least 8”

from any crack, edge, or expansion joint.

21) Use a concrete hammer drill with a 3/4 inch

carbide bit. Tip diameter should conform to

ANSI Standard B94.12-1977 (.775 to .787).

Do not use excessively worn bits or bits

which have been incorrectly sharpened. A

core bit may be necessary if an obstruction is

encountered. Never substitute with shorter

anchor.

22) Drill the anchor holes using the base plate as

a template. Drill through the floor if possible

or to a depth of 5 inches minimum.

23) Vacuum dust from the hole for proper holding

power.

24) Shim columns to plumb using the shims

provided or steel washers. DO NOT shim

more than 1/2" at any given point. Use a level

no less than 24” in length to plumb columns.

25) Assemble washer and nut to anchor with nut

just below impact section of bolt. Drive

anchor into hole until nut and washer contact

base. Tighten anchor bolts and recheck

column for plumb. Re-shim as required.

26) Torque to 150 foot-pounds to set anchors.

NOTE: Level bubble should not only be

between the lines, the bubble should be

centered between the lines. If the provided

shims do not allow sufficient centering of the

bubble, it is best to lean the rear columns in

the direction toward each other and the front

columns in the direction toward each other.

27) Install the four cable ends with one flat

washer, one load nut, and one jam nut.

28) Install the power unit and the air button valve

assembly on the power column, Fig 11.

Fig 11 – Air Button & Power Unit Mounting

29) Install O-Ring end of 90 degree hydraulic

elbow (9/16-18 O-Ring x 37Male JIC) to

power unit output port. The hydraulic hose is

pre-installed to the hydraulic cylinder and

secured inside the runway. Pull loose end

out through 1 ½” x 4 ½” slot in the side of the

power runway near the power unit and attach

to the elbow fitting.

Do Not Use Teflon Tape or Pipe Dope on

fittings.

30) Have a certified electrician connect the

power unit to a suitable electrical power

source as shown in Fig 16.

31) BE CERTAIN ALL FITTINGS AND CONNECTIONS

ARE TIGHT. IT IS THE INSTALLERS

RESPONSIBILITY TO INSURE SYSTEM IS LEAK-

FREE. Fill the Power Unit with three gallons of

clean 10wt anti-foam anti-rust hydraulic oil or

Dexron III ATF. DO NOT USE OILS WITH

DETERGENTS.

32) Energize the power unit and raise the lift

approximately 1 ft off the ground and look

underneath the power runway to verify that

the cable lugs are resting firmly against the

cylinder pull bar.

33) Level the runways and crossbeams using a 4

ft. level. With the lift resting in its locks, find

the highest corner and adjust the other three

column ladder bars until the runways are

level front-to-rear and side-to-side. Tighten

jam nut against bottom side of each column

top plate.

34) Adjust cables until all four locks are

synchronized when lift is raised. Tighten

cable jam nuts against adjustment nuts.

35) Install 4mm air line from air valve assembly

thru opening in runway to Tee fitting. Fig 12.

lines through idler runway and connect

together with 4mm air line splice provided.

Route airline through welded rings on the

outside internal edge of runways.

37) Use the provided wire ties and adhesive tabs

to connect the 4mm air line inside the ends of

the front and rear cross beam to the side

plate welds as shown in Fig 13.

Fig 13 – 4mm Air Line Connection

38) Use the hose barb and clamp provided to

connect the button valve to a suitable air

source. Air supply must be clean, dry,

lubricated, and regulated to 90-120 psi.

The FRL, must be within 30 feet of valve.

Failure to provide clean, dry, lubricated,

and pressure regulated air will void

warranty on pneumatic components.

39) Energize air valve assembly and insure that

all air cylinders are working properly.

40) Raise and lower lift several times to bleed

hydraulic cylinder. Hydraulic cylinder is self-

bleeding. Lower lift and check fluid level in

reservoir. Add fluid as needed.

41) Run lift to full rise and continue running motor

approximately 5 more seconds. Check

hydraulic hose and connections for leaks.

Re-tighten fitting if leaking.

42) Raise lift approximately half way. Slowly jog

power unit until you hear one of the locks

engage. Adjust locking ladder until it just

barely raises the crossbeam end. Back off

1/2 turn. Repeat for each column.
