Setup and Installation

Proper installation is critical for the safe and effective operation of your car lift. It is highly recommended that installation be performed by experienced professionals.

Site Requirements:

• Foundation: The lift must be installed on a level concrete floor that meets minimum thickness and strength requirements. Consult local building codes and a structural engineer if unsure.
• Space: Ensure adequate overhead clearance and surrounding workspace.
• Dimensions: The lift has a pass-through width of 103.07 inches, overall width of 137.64 inches, and a height of 146.46 inches.

This diagram illustrates the critical dimensions of the lift, including its overall width (137.64 inches), height (146.46 inches), drive-through width (103.07 inches), and the lifting height range (3.9 to 71.7 inches).

Assembly Steps (General):

1. Unpack all components and verify against the packing list.
2. Position the columns according to the installation diagram, ensuring proper spacing and alignment.
3. Anchor the columns securely to the concrete floor using appropriate anchors.
4. Install the overhead beam (if applicable) and connect the hydraulic lines and equalization cables/chains.
5. Mount the hydraulic power unit and connect it to the hydraulic cylinders.
6. Fill the hydraulic reservoir with the specified N32/N46 hydraulic oil.
7. Perform initial system checks and bleed air from the hydraulic system as per detailed instructions in the full installation manual.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for safe and effective operation of your WEIZE 2 Post Car Lift.

Pre-Operation Checklist:

• Ensure the lift area is clear of obstructions.
• Verify hydraulic oil level is adequate.
• Inspect cables, chains, and hydraulic lines for any signs of wear or damage.
• Confirm all safety locks are disengaged before lifting.

Lifting a Vehicle:

1. Position the vehicle centrally between the columns.
2. Adjust the lifting arms to ensure the rubber pads are securely placed under the vehicle's designated lifting points. Ensure the vehicle is balanced.
3. Engage the automatic arm restraints.
4. Press the "UP" button on the hydraulic power unit to raise the vehicle slowly.
5. Monitor the vehicle's stability as it rises. If any instability is observed, lower the vehicle immediately and re-position.
6. Once the desired height is reached, lower the lift slightly until the safety locks engage. This transfers the load from the hydraulic system to the mechanical locks.
7. Always ensure both safety locks are fully engaged before working under the vehicle.
