WARNING

VERTICAL CLEARANCE 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.

FLOORING 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. Floor should be level within 3/8 inch over the installation area. 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.

Failure by purchaser to provide the recommended mounting surface could

result in unsatisfactory lift performance, property damage, or personal injury.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS For lift installation and operation for single phase units, it is necessary to have a dedicated circuit with a double pole 25 amp circuit breaker or time delay fuse.

SAFETY NOTICES AND DECALS For your safety, and the safety of others, read and understand all of the safety notices and decals included here.

READ ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE ASSEMBLING, INSTALLING, OPERATING, OR SERVICING THIS EQUIPMENT. PROPER MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION IS NECESSARY FOR SAFE OPERATION. DO NOT OPERATE A DAMAGED LIFT.

Safety decals similar to those shown here are found on a properly installed lift. Be sure that all safety decals have been correctly installed on the Power Unit reservoir. Verify that all authorized operators know the location of these decals and fully understand their meaning. Replace worn, faded, or damaged decals promptly.

Do not attempt to raise a vehicle on the lift until the lift has been correctly

installed and adjusted as described in this manual.

FINAL ADJUSTMENTS HYDRAULICS

37) Lower the lift to the floor and raise the lift approximately one foot.

38) Start with Idler side first. Slowly and carefully loosen the bleed plug on top of the cylinder just enough to allow the entrapped air to escape. Repeat for power side.

39) Raise lift 6 inches. Repeat step 38 until no air comes out of cylinder.

40) Pressure test hydraulic system. Energize power unit, raise lift to full rise and continue to run motor for additional 10 seconds. (NOTE: pressure relief will make a high pitch squeal sound for these 10 seconds.) Check hydraulic system for leaks.

41) Energize power unit again for 10 seconds. With a clean rag, wipe down both cylinder rods. (The cylinders are shipped with a small amount of clear anti-corosive lubricant that will be forced out through the wiper when the lift reaches full rise.) If lubricant is not wiped clean from the cylinder rod, the cylinder will apear to be leaking.

LIFTING A VEHICLE 1) Insure that the lifting arms are parked, out to

full drive thru position. 2) Position the vehicle in the service bay so that

the vehicle’s center of gravity is on a line between the two columns, and so the vehicle is centered between the two columns.

DO NOT EXCEED 2250 POUNDS PER ARM. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LIFT THE VEHICLE WITH ONLY TWO ARMS, AS THIS WILL VOID THE WARRANTY INSURE THAT THE HIGHEST POINT ON THE VEHICLE WILL CONTACT THE OVERHEAD LIMIT SWITCH BAR. DO NOT PLACE THE VEHICLE IN THE SERVICE BAY BACKWARDS. REFER TO THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS SERVICE MANUAL, TECHNICAL BULLETINS, “VEHICLE LIFTING POINTS GUIDE” (ALI/LP-GUIDE) OR OTHER PUBLICATIONS TO LOCATE THE RECOMMENDED LIFTING POINTS. 3) Position the arms and adapters so all four

pads contact the vehicle simultaneously. The vehicle should remain level during lifting. 4) Raise the lift until all four wheels are off the

ground. Test the stability of the vehicle by attempting to rock the vehicle. Check adapters for secure contact with vehicle lift points. If the vehicle seems unstable, lower the lift and readjust the arms. If the vehicle is stable, raise the vehicle to a height a few inches above the desired working height.

5) Lower the vehicle until the safety latches on both columns engage. The vehicle should remain level when both latches are engaged. If one side engages and the other continues to descend, stop lowering the vehicle, raise it several inches, and try again to engage both latches.

Always lower lift into locks before entering the area beneath the vehicle. Always use safety stands when removing or installing heavy components. LOWERING A VEHICLE 1) Insure that the area under the vehicle is clear

of personnel and tools. 2) Raise the vehicle until both latches are free. 3) Disengage the latches by pulling down and

holding the lock release lever. 4) Lower the vehicle by depressing the lowering

valve handle. 5) Continue to lower the vehicle until the

carriages stop against the base plate. Retract the extension arms, and park them.

MAINTENANCE

To avoid personal injury, permit only qualified personnel to perform maintenance on this equipment. The following maintenance points are suggested as the basis of a preventive maintenance program. The actual maintenance program should be tailored to the installation. See ANSI/ALI ALOIM booklet for periodic inspection checklist and maintenance log sheet.

• If lift stops short of full rise or chatters, check fluid level and bleed both cylinders per Installation Instructions.

• Replace all Safety, Warning or Caution Labels if missing or damaged (See Installation instructions page 3.)

Daily • Keep lift components clean. • Check for loose or broken parts. • Check hydraulic system for fluid leaks. • Check adapters for damage or excessive wear.

Replace as required with genuine Challenger Lifts parts.

• Check lock release activation. When properly adjusted, the idler column lock should rest firmly against the back of the column when engaged and against the spring mount tab when disengaged.

Weekly • Check synchronizer cables and sheaves for

wear. Replace as required with genuine Challenger Lifts parts.

• Check lock release cable adjustment per Installation Instructions step 42.

IMPORTANT: IF IDLER SIDE LOCK PAWL DOES NOT FULLY DISENGAGE, DAMAGE MAY RESULT TO IDLER SIDE CARRIAGE AND OR CABLE SYNCHRONIZING SYSTEM. • Check synchronizer cable tension per

Installation Instructions. Adjust if necessary.

Monthly • Torque concrete anchor bolts to 80 ft-lbs. • Check overhead shutoff switch. While raising

lift, operate overhead shutoff bar. Power Unit motor should stop when bar is raised.

• Lubricate carriage slide tracks with heavy viscous grease. (Grease all (4) corners of both columns.)

If any problems are encountered, contact your local service representative.

WARNING

VERTICAL CLEARANCE 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.

FLOORING 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. Floor should be level within 3/8 inch over the installation area. No anchors should be installed within 8 inches of any crack, edge, or expansion joint. If these conditions cannot be met, pads can 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.

Failure by purchaser to provide the recommended mounting surface could

result in unsatisfactory lift performance, property damage, or personal injury.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS For lift installation and operation for single phase units, it is necessary to have a dedicated circuit with a double pole 25 amp circuit breaker or time delay fuse.

SAFETY NOTICES AND DECALS For your safety, and the safety of others, read and understand all of the safety notices and decals included here.

READ ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE ASSEMBLING, INSTALLING, OPERATING, OR SERVICING THIS EQUIPMENT. PROPER MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION IS NECESSARY FOR SAFE OPERATION. DO NOT OPERATE A DAMAGED LIFT.

Safety decals similar to those shown here are found on a properly installed lift. Be sure that all safety decals have been correctly installed on the Power Unit reservoir. Verify that all authorized operators know the location of these decals and fully understand their meaning. Replace worn, faded, or damaged decals promptly.

Do not attempt to raise a vehicle on the lift until the lift has been correctly

installed and adjusted as described in this manual.

2) Assemble column extension to column using 3/8-16 x 3/4" lg Hex flange head bolt. repeat for opposite column and extension.

3) Erect both column assemblies. Align the notches in column base, Fig 2, with the installation lines. (HINT: It may be easier to install the lower synchronizer cable, Fig 7b, before columns are raised)

ANCHORING 4) The anchor bolts must be installed at least 8

inches from any crack, edge, or expansion joint.

5) 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.

6) Recheck “Inside of Columns” dimension, Fig 1. 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.

7) Vacuum dust from the hole for proper holding power.

27) Route hydraulic hose from Idler column across Overhead to the Power Column and down inside of Power Column (routing is identical to Idler Column) to male #6 JIC bulkhead “T” fitting. Loosely attach hose to “T”. If this is an extended height lift (model CL9-1 or CL9-2), an extension hose (supplied) will connect the Idler hose to the “T” fitting.

28) While gently pulling slack up from the “T” fitting to the top of the power column extension, twist the hose until it lays flat in the overhead beam. (When installing lift at narrow or low setting, excess hose should be snaked in bottom of overhead, Fig 10a. When installing at narrow and low setting, form a loop in the column extension between the overhead support plate and the inside wall of the column extension, Fig 10b.) Install hose clamps identical to idler side, one hose clamp at the top of the column, one at the top of the column extension and one at the end of the overhead. Fig 10b. Tighten connection at “T” fitting.

Fig 12 – Idler Column Lock Assembly

34) Insert threaded sleeve portion of cable assembly in slot located on tab below lock pawl, Fig 12. With one jam nut located on each side of tab, adjust the threaded sleeve to begin to pull tension on the ½” O.D. spring. Snug jam nuts by hand.

THE LOCK RELEASE CABLE ADJUSTMENT IS NOT COMPLETE UNTIL THE LIFT HAS BEEN LOWERED AND “FINAL ADJUSTMENTS” HAVE BEEN MADE. ARM INSTALLATION 35) Lubricate the arm pin or carriage arm pin

hole with “anti-seize” and install the arms. Insure that the arm restraint gears engage and disengage properly. Arm restraints should disengage when lift is fully lowered. If any binding occurs, insure that the large gear mounted to the arm has been factory installed tight against the arm pin.

ELECTRICAL 36) Wire tie Limit Switch cord to Power Column

hose inside column and down to hose “T” fitting. Route cord out slot and tie to Power Unit hose.

37) Connect the Overhead Limit Switch Cord to Power Unit as shown in Fig 13.

38) Connect Power Unit to suitable electrical source as shown in Fig 13.

39) IMPORTANT: AFTER WIRING HAS BEEN COMPLETED, TEST OPERATION OF POWER UNIT & OVERHEAD LIMIT SWITCH. WHILE RAISING LIFT, OPERATE OVERHEAD SHUTOFF BAR. POWER UNIT MOTOR SHOULD STOP WHEN SHUTOFF BAR IS RAISED.

FINAL ADJUSTMENTS HYDRAULICS

40) Lower the lift to the floor and raise the lift approximately one foot.

41) Start with Idler side first. Slowly and carefully loosen the bleed plug on top of the cylinder just enough to allow the entrapped air to escape. Repeat for power side.

42) Energize the power unit and raise 6 inches. Repeat previous step until no air comes out of cylinder.

43) Pressure test hydraulic system. Energize power unit, raise lift to full rise and continue to run motor for additional 10 seconds. (NOTE: pressure relief will make a high pitch squeal sound for these 10 seconds.) Check hydraulic system for leaks.

44) Energize power unit again for 10 seconds. With a clean rag, wipe down both cylinder rods. (The cylinders are shipped with a small amount of clear anti-corosive lubricant that will be forced out through the wiper when the lift reaches full rise.) If lubricant is not wiped clean from the cylinder rod, the cylinder will apear to be leaking.

SYNCHRONIZING CABLES 45) Cycle lift to insure that latches operate

simultaneously. Lower lift onto locks and insure that neither lock will wobble (it is possible for one carriage to be resting on its lock while the other carriage is being supported by the synchronizing cable).

LOCK RELEASE CABLE 46) Lower lift to the floor and snap plastic cover

over Power Column lock assembly. 47) Pull and release Power Column lock release

handle while watching Idler Column lock. Adjust lower threaded sleeve cable adjuster jam nuts on Idler Column until Idler Column lock disengages and engages fully. When properly adjusted, the idler column lock should just come to rest against the back of the column when engaged and fully out against the tab when disengaged. Tighten Idler Column lower tab jam nuts.

IMPORTANT: IF IDLER SIDE LOCK PAWL DOES NOT FULLY DISENGAGE, DAMAGE MAY RESULT TO IDLER SIDE CARRIAGE AND OR CABLE SYNCHRONIZING SYSTEM. 48) Tighten threaded sleeve cable adjuster jam

nuts and install lock release knob. 49) Tighten and trim wire ties. 50) Snap plastic cover over Idler lock assembly

(align idler side lock release cable with notches in lock cover flange).

Page 12 Rev. 10/9/03 A1151.doc

LIFTING A VEHICLE 1) Insure that the lifting arms are parked, out to

full drive thru position. 2) Position the vehicle in the service bay so that

the vehicle’s center of gravity is on a line between the two columns, and so the vehicle is centered between the two columns.

DO NOT EXCEED 2250 POUNDS PER ARM. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LIFT THE VEHICLE WITH ONLY TWO ARMS, AS THIS WILL VOID THE WARRANTY INSURE THAT THE HIGHEST POINT ON THE VEHICLE WILL CONTACT THE OVERHEAD LIMIT SWITCH BAR. DO NOT PLACE THE VEHICLE IN THE SERVICE BAY BACKWARDS. REFER TO THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS SERVICE MANUAL, TECHNICAL BULLETINS, “VEHICLE LIFTING POINTS GUIDE” (ALI/LP-GUIDE) OR OTHER PUBLICATIONS TO LOCATE THE RECOMMENDED LIFTING POINTS. 3) Position the arms and adapters so all four

pads contact the vehicle simultaneously. The vehicle should remain level during lifting. 4) Raise the lift until all four wheels are off the

ground. Test the stability of the vehicle by attempting to rock the vehicle. Check adapters for secure contact with vehicle lift points. If the vehicle seems unstable, lower the lift and readjust the arms. If the vehicle is stable, raise the vehicle to a height a few inches above the desired working height.

5) Lower the vehicle until the safety latches on both columns engage. The vehicle should remain level when both latches are engaged. If one side engages and the other continues to descend, stop lowering the vehicle, raise it several inches, and try again to engage both latches.

Always lower lift into locks before entering the area beneath the vehicle. Always use safety stands when removing or installing heavy components. LOWERING A VEHICLE 1) Insure that the area under the vehicle is clear

of personnel and tools. 2) Raise the vehicle until both latches are free. 3) Disengage the latches by pulling down and

holding the lock release lever. 4) Lower the vehicle by depressing the lowering

valve handle. 5) Continue to lower the vehicle until the

carriages stop against the base plate. Retract the extension arms, and park them.

MAINTENANCE

To avoid personal injury, permit only qualified personnel to perform maintenance on this equipment. The following maintenance points are suggested as the basis of a preventive maintenance program. The actual maintenance program should be tailored to the installation. See ANSI/ALI ALOIM booklet for periodic inspection checklist and maintenance log sheet.

• If lift stops short of full rise or chatters, check fluid level and bleed both cylinders per Installation Instructions.

• Replace all Safety, Warning or Caution Labels if missing or damaged (See Installation instructions page 3.)

Daily • Keep lift components clean. • Check for loose or broken parts. • Check hydraulic system for fluid leaks. • Check adapters for damage or excessive wear.

Replace as required with genuine Challenger Lifts parts.

• Check lock release activation. When properly adjusted, the idler column lock should rest firmly against the back of the column when engaged and against the spring mount tab when disengaged.

Weekly • Check synchronizer cables and sheaves for

wear. Replace as required with genuine Challenger Lifts parts.

• Check lock release cable adjustment per Installation Instructions step 42.

IMPORTANT: IF IDLER SIDE LOCK PAWL DOES NOT FULLY DISENGAGE, DAMAGE MAY RESULT TO IDLER SIDE CARRIAGE AND OR CABLE SYNCHRONIZING SYSTEM. • Check synchronizer cable tension per

Installation Instructions. Adjust if necessary.

Monthly • Torque concrete anchor bolts to 80 ft-lbs. • Check overhead shutoff switch. While raising

lift, operate overhead shutoff bar. Power Unit motor should stop when bar is raised.

• Lubricate carriage slide tracks with heavy viscous grease. (Grease all (4) corners of both columns.)

If any problems are encountered, contact your local service representative.

Important! Before You Install

1. Before installing your Challenger 2-Post lift, read the manual(s) thoroughly. Inspect the lift

to insure that it is complete and undamaged. Challenger 2-Post lifts are shipped ready to assemble to facilitate shipping and reduce damage. If it is apparent that the lift has been mishandled in shipment, or if parts or assemblies are missing, note the damage or missing part(s) on the shipping papers and notify Challenger Lifts, Inc. Immediately.

2. Be certain that the wiring in your building will handle the current required to operate this unit

(Fig 8).

3. Be certain that you have the proper concrete floor to handle the loaded lift. The floor should be in generally good condition with no large cracks, spalling or deterioration. The minimum requirements for concrete are 4 inches minimum depth, with steel reinforcement, 3500 PSI, cured for a minimum of 28 days. The floor should be level within 3/8 inch over the installation area. No anchors should be installed within 8 inches of any crack, edge, or expansion joint. If these conditions cannot be met, pads can be poured.

4. Check with the local building inspectors and/ or Permits office for any special instructions or

approvals required for your installation.

Installation Procedure 1. Break down the packaging with the columns by supporting the upper column and using a 3/4"

wrench, remove the bolts at the top and bottom of the column. Carefully remove the top cap. 2. Layout the service bay according to the architect’s plans or owner’s instructions (see Fig 1). Be

certain that the proper conditions exist per the section entitled “Before You Install”.

P/N 12091 Rev. 3/03 5

3. Assemble a column extension to each column using 3/8 x 1 bolts, flat washers, lock washers, and nuts.

4. Erect both column assemblies. Align the columns with the installation lines and drill the holes

for the anchors using the base plate as a template. Clean the dust from the holes. Obtain the anchor bolts from the hardware box and assemble the nut and washer to the bolt, leaving about 1/4" of thread above the nut. Insert the anchors into each hole as it is drilled and tap it down to the base plate. If the floor is excessively uneven, you may wish to leave more thread exposed.

5. Shim both columns to plumb using the shims provided (Fig. 2). Do not shim more than ½” at

any point. Use a level no less than 24" in length to plumb the columns.

Figure 2 6. Back the nuts on the anchors up until the threads are flush with the top of the nut and tap them

down against the base plate. Using a torque wrench, tighten the anchors to 150 ft-lbs to set the anchors. Check the columns for plumb after torquing the bolts and adjust by shimming if necessary.

7. Lift the overhead up into position and install with 3/8 x 1 bolts, flat washers, lock washers, and

nuts. 8. Place the mercury switch inside the switch tube by folding the pigtail along side the switch

housing and placing the cord end of the switch into the tube. Then attach the tube to the bracket on the power column side using the 3/8 x 1 ½” shoulder bolt and 5/16-18 Keps nut. Obtain the 1 3/8" snap bushing from the hardware box and place it into the hole in the top of the column to protect the wires. Run the free end of the wire up through the overhead and through the hole in the top of the column.

9. Take the shutoff bar to the idler column side and first insert the end of the bar into the open end of the switch tube, then attach the other end to the bracket on the idler side of the overhead using the 3/8 x 1 ½” shoulder bolt, 5/16 dia. washer and 5/16-18 Keps nut.

10. Install the locking pawl, actuator and spring (Fig. 3). Adjust air cylinder clevis to retract lock

P/N 12091 Rev. 3/03 13

1. Lifting a Vehicle

Ensure that the lifting arms are parked, out of the way of the vehicle. Position the vehicle in the service bay so that the vehicle=s center of gravity is on a line between the two columns, and so the vehicle is centered between the two columns.

Do not place the vehicle in the service bay backwards.

Do not attempt to lift the vehicle with only two arms, as this will void the warranty

Refer to the vehicle manufacturer=s service manual, technical bulletins, or other publications to locate the recommended lifting points.

Position the arms so that all four pads contact the vehicle simultaneously.

The vehicle should remain level during lifting.

Raise the lift until all four wheels are off the ground. Test the stability of the vehicle by attempting to rock the vehicle. If the vehicle seems unstable, lower the lift and readjust the arms. If the vehicle is stable, raise the vehicle to a height a few inches above the desired working height.

When the vehicle has reached the desired working height, release the power pack button, and lower the vehicle until the safety latches on both columns engage. The vehicle should remain level when both latches are engaged. If one side engages and the other continues to descend, stop lowering the vehicle, raise it several inches, and try again to engage both latches.

Always lower lift into locks before entering the area beneath the vehicle.

Removal of large components of the vehicle could cause a change in the center of gravity

resulting in an unsafe condition. If this is intended, vehicle support stands are recommended.

2. Lowering a vehicle

Ensure that the area under the vehicle is clear of personnel and tools.

Raise the vehicle until both latches are free.

Disengage the latches by depressing the palm button and holding it.

Lower the vehicle by depressing the lowering valve handle.

Continue to lower the vehicle until the carriages stop against the base plate. Retract the extension arms, and park them. It is important to fully lower the lift to release hydraulic pressure on the system.

Maintenance

The following maintenance points are suggested as the basis of a preventive maintenance program. The actual maintenance program should be tailored to the installation.

Daily

Inspect the lift for loose anchor bolts (If loose tighten to 80 ft-lbs), fluid leaks, and loose connections. All anchor bolts should take full torque. Check for fluid leaks and loose connections. Check for broken parts

Weekly

Check fluid level in power pack reservoir. Check for lock release activation.

Monthly

Check synchronizer cables for wear and tension, adjust if necessary. Lubricate cable sheaves or chain sprockets with light oil to reduce drag. Lubricate carriage slide tracks with heavy viscous grease.

Appendix A

Hydraulic Fitting Assembly Hydraulic line sets are prefabricated to allow easy assembly in the field. Follow the steps outlined below for reliable, leak-free joint: 1. Remove any shipping plugs or caps, insuring that no remnants of the plugs or caps remain

in the tube. 2. Lubricate the threads and seat of the fitting with hydraulic oil or a compatible lubricant.

Do not use pipe dope or Teflon tape on these fittings. 3. Align the tubing joints so that the tubing and sleeve assemblies can be inserted easily into

the fitting. 4. Insert the tubing and sleeve assemblies into the fitting and start the fitting nut by hand.

CAUTION: If the fitting nut cannot be started by hand, the joint is not aligned properly. Attempting to start a misaligned fitting with a wrench is likely to damage the fitting and result in a leaking joint.

5. Tighten the fitting nut until the force required to turn it rises sharply. 6. Tighten the fitting nut 1/4 turn past the point noted in the previous step. Only if the joint

leaks in operation should the joint be tightened further.

CAUTION: Do not over tighten the hydraulic fittings.

Appendix B Anchor Bolt Installation 1. Insure the concrete has had sufficient time to cure - 28 days minimum. 2. Always wear safety glasses. 3. Follow the drill manufacturers safety instruction. 4. Use only solid carbide-tipped drill bits meeting ANSI B94 tip diameter standards. 5. Drill the anchor bolt holes perpendicular to the work surface. To assure full holding

power, do no ream the hole or allow the drill to wobble. 6. Drill the hole at least as deep as the full length of the anchor, completely through the slab

if possible. 7. Clean the hole, using compressed air and a wire brush. A clean hole is necessary for

proper performance. 8. Assemble the washer and nut on the anchor bolt so that the anchor protrudes slightly

beyond the nut. The anchor should drop easily into the hole, requiring no more than a slight tap to seat it fully. 9. Tap the anchor through the fixture (lift base plate) and into the hole, making sure that the

nut rests solidly against the fixture. 10. Tighten the nut to 150 ft-lbs for 3/4 inch diameter bolts and to 75 ft-lbs for 3/8 inch

diameter bolts.

Important! Before You Install

1. Before installing your Challenger 2-Post lift, read the manual(s) thoroughly. Inspect the lift

to insure that it is complete and undamaged. Challenger 2-Post lifts are shipped ready to assemble to facilitate shipping and reduce damage. If it is apparent that the lift has been mishandled in shipment, or if parts or assemblies are missing, note the damage or missing part(s) on the shipping papers and notify Challenger Lifts, Inc. Immediately.

2. Be certain that the wiring in your building will handle the current required to operate this unit

(Fig 9).

3. Be certain that you have the proper concrete floor to handle the loaded lift. The floor should be in generally good condition with no large cracks, spalling or deterioration. The minimum requirements for concrete are 4 inches minimum depth, with steel reinforcement, 3500 PSI, cured for a minimum of 28 days. The floor should be level within 3/8 inch over the installation area. No anchors should be installed within 8 inches of any crack, edge, or expansion joint. If these conditions cannot be met, pads can be poured.

4. Check with the local building inspectors and/ or Permits office for any special instructions or

approvals required for your installation.

1. Lifting a Vehicle

Ensure that the lifting arms are parked, out of the way of the vehicle. Position the vehicle in the service bay so that the vehicle=s center of gravity is on a line between the two columns, and so the vehicle is centered between the two columns.

Do not place the vehicle in the service bay backwards.

Do not attempt to lift the vehicle with only two arms, as this will void the warranty

Refer to the vehicle manufacturer=s service manual, technical bulletins, or other publications to locate the recommended lifting points.

Position the arms so that all four pads contact the vehicle simultaneously.

The vehicle should remain level during lifting.

Raise the lift until all four wheels are off the ground. Test the stability of the vehicle by attempting to rock the vehicle. If the vehicle seems unstable, lower the lift and readjust the arms. If the vehicle is stable, raise the vehicle to a height a few inches above the desired working height.

When the vehicle has reached the desired working height, release the power pack button, and lower the vehicle until the safety latches on both columns engage. The vehicle should remain level when both latches are engaged. If one side engages and the other continues to descend, stop lowering the vehicle, raise it several inches, and try again to engage both latches.

Always lower lift into locks before entering the area beneath the vehicle.

Removal of large components of the vehicle could cause a change in the center of gravity

resulting in an unsafe condition. If this is intended, vehicle support stands are recommended.

2. Lowering a vehicle

Ensure that the area under the vehicle is clear of personnel and tools.

Raise the vehicle until both latches are free.

Disengage the latches by depressing the palm button and holding it.

Lower the vehicle by depressing the lowering valve handle.

Continue to lower the vehicle until the carriages stop against the base plate. Retract the extension arms, and park them. It is important to fully lower the lift to release hydraulic pressure on the system.

Maintenance

The following maintenance points are suggested as the basis of a preventive maintenance program. The actual maintenance program should be tailored to the installation.

Daily

Check for fluid leaks and loose connections. Check for broken parts

Weekly

Check fluid level in power pack reservoir. Check for lock release activation. Inspect the lift for loose anchor bolts (If loose tighten to 80 ft-lbs). All anchor bolts should take full torque.

Monthly

Check synchronizer cables for wear and tension, adjust if necessary. Lubricate cable sheaves or chain sprockets with light oil to reduce drag. Lubricate carriage slide tracks with heavy viscous grease.

Appendix A

Hydraulic Fitting Assembly Hydraulic line sets are prefabricated to allow easy assembly in the field. Follow the steps outlined below for reliable, leak-free joint: 1. Remove any shipping plugs or caps, insuring that no remnants of the plugs or caps remain

in the tube. 2. Lubricate the threads and seat of the fitting with hydraulic oil or a compatible lubricant.

Do not use pipe dope or Teflon tape on these fittings. 3. Align the tubing joints so that the tubing and sleeve assemblies can be inserted easily into

the fitting. 4. Insert the tubing and sleeve assemblies into the fitting and start the fitting nut by hand.

CAUTION: If the fitting nut cannot be started by hand, the joint is not aligned properly. Attempting to start a misaligned fitting with a wrench is likely to damage the fitting and result in a leaking joint.

5. Tighten the fitting nut until the force required to turn it rises sharply. 6. Tighten the fitting nut 1/4 turn past the point noted in the previous step. Only if the joint

leaks in operation should the joint be tightened further.

CAUTION: Do not over tighten the hydraulic fittings.

Appendix B Anchor Bolt Installation 1. Insure the concrete has had sufficient time to cure - 28 days minimum. 2. Always wear safety glasses. 3. Follow the drill manufacturers safety instruction. 4. Use only solid carbide-tipped drill bits meeting ANSI B94 tip diameter standards. 5. Drill the anchor bolt holes perpendicular to the work surface. To assure full holding

power, do no ream the hole or allow the drill to wobble. 6. Drill the hole at least as deep as the full length of the anchor, completely through the slab

if possible. 7. Clean the hole, using compressed air and a wire brush. A clean hole is necessary for

proper performance. 8. Assemble the washer and nut on the anchor bolt so that the anchor protrudes slightly

beyond the nut. The anchor should drop easily into the hole, requiring no more than a slight tap to seat it fully. 9. Tap the anchor through the fixture (lift base plate) and into the hole, making sure that the

nut rests solidly against the fixture. 10. Tighten the nut to 150 ft-lbs for 3/4 inch diameter bolts and to 75 ft-lbs for 3/8 inch

diameter bolts.
