INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Ensure to have someone to assist with installation, as most of the lift components are
big, heavy, and cumbersome. The lift column alone weighs about 320 pounds by itself.
The base frame and swing arms each will weigh 200 lbs. apiece.
It is possible for two people to install this lift if they have the appropriate lifting and
handling equipment, but it is definitely easier and faster if there are several people
available to help maneuver the components into place. As with any assembly involving
big heavy materials, safety considerations are necessary.

1. Fork Lift (Offload lift package upon delivery & installation assist)
2. Fork Lift and/or Engine Hoist (Moving large components & positioning lift column)

Unloading the Lift
You will need a forklift that can handle about 2,000 to 2,300 pounds and operates on a
smooth surface.
Un-banding the Lift
The steel bands which secure the lift parts to the pallets are heavy duty. You will need a
pair of metal shears or tin snips to cut the bands. Be very careful when doing this
because the bands will tend to fly apart when they are cut, and the heavy lift parts may
shift when freed from the bands. Stand to the side of the bands when you cut them and
use gloves when removing the cut bands because they have sharp edges.
Moving Lift Components
You can move the larger components pieces to the garage or service bay with the
forklift. Some of the smaller pieces can be moved by two or more people by carrying
them. If you have several people helping, some of the larger pieces can be moved
manually.
