SECTION 4: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONSSeries 2000, 2000K, T-Series, 3000, 4000Equipment and Supplies Required:1. Equipment to maneuver the Advance Lift into position. Nylon slings are preferred, butpadded alloy chains through the guardrail socket holes will also work as rigging.2. The appropriate gallons of oil and a funnel, for exact quantity see page P 8-3. Notethat the 2010K, 2500K & T-Series units only require 5 gallons. Series 3000 unitsrequire 10 gallons and series 4000 units require 15 gallons.3. A ½”, extra heavy, double wire braid hose (SAE 100R2A) or extra heavy seamlesspiping from the power unit to the equipment with ½” JIC female fittings on the ends.Advance supplies a ½” JIC male flare connector on the outlet of the power unit andthe end of the filter pipe on the lift. 4000 series lifts require two hoses because of theirspecial piping needs. If hose or piping length will exceed 35 feet, consult the pressurechart to insure proper sizing. Caution! Be sure all hydraulic fittings are rated forhydraulic systems that may peak out at 4000 PSI. Hardware store items can burst at150 PSI. Only buy from reputable hydraulic outlets.4. Material for shimming and grouting, and anchor bolts. We recommend “Rawl-StudWedge Anchors”, “Wej-It” or equivalent bolts in the 5/8” x 6” size. The 3000 and 4000series will require the 1” x 9” size. The studs must be embedded at least 4 ½” into theconcrete.5. Electrical fused disconnect (if required), refer to local electrical codes.6. Wire and electrical fittings for the branch circuit, pushbutton station, down solenoid,motor and any accessories. See branch and control circuit section of this manual.7. Standard hand tools for electrical work and hydraulic maintenance.8. A heavy pry bar for shifting the equipment and a drill for installing the lag down studs.9. Maintenance device; This is supplied by Advance Lifts on all units. Check themaintenance section of this manual for proper usage of each style of maintenance leg.10. Pit mounted units will require timbers to temporarily support the unit over the pit.P 4-1
SECTION 4: (CONTINUED) INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONSInstallation Procedure:1. Read the Installation, Operating, and Maintenance instructions completely beforeattempting installation. You may also find it helpful to read the remaining sections ofthe manual for a better understanding of how the equipment works.2. If you are installing a pit mounted unit, check the pit dimensions against the pitdrawing for conformity (length, width, and depth including bridge recesses) and besure to check the diagonal of the pit for square. Also be sure whatever surface thebase frame will sit on is flat and level or is shimmed to achieve that end. (See p 4-6for a typical pit drawing).3. Locate the power unit, check to insure that there is no water contamination in thereservoir. Fill the reservoir through the breather hole with the appropriate hydraulicfluid (see fluid recommendation section of this manual). Ideally, you should mount thereservoir on a wall approximately 6 ½’ above the ground. This prevents people fromstanding on or placing objects on the power unit. It will free up floor space andbecause the reservoir is higher than the lift, it will allow any air in the system tonaturally rise to the highest point and purge itself from the system.4. Run the hydraulic and clear / blue breather lines from the power unit to the lift andflush the hydraulic lines with clean fluid before connecting them. If the lines must bepushed through chases or enclosures, be sure to cap the lines to preventcontaminates from entering the hose. The breather line must not be pinched orrestricted during installation. Cleanliness is the single most important factor in themaintenance of any hydraulic system. CAUTION! Contamination will destroycylinders, valves, and pumps!5. Following the electrical diagrams in the electrical section of this manual, make theelectrical connection to the motor and controls for the unit. Be sure that you havecorrect motor rotation! Continued operation of a hydraulic pump in reverse rotationwill destroy it! You can detect the rotation by making short motor jogs and watchingthe clear suction line from the reservoir to the pump. If the rotation is correct, the fluidwill leap up the line into the pump. If the rotation is reversed, there will be no fluid inthe suction line. You may change the rotation of a 3-phase motor by simplyexchanging the positions of any two of the three power wire connections. With singlephase motors, rotation is set at the factory. Remember to have the discharge end ofthe hosing secure and discharging into a container or someone may take an oil bath.Note: Some installers try to arrange all of the above work to be completed before theyever bring a lift to the job site. This allows them to use the crane that is used to offloadand position the lift for as short a time as possible.P 4-2
SECTION 4: (CONTINUED) INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONSInstallation Instructions:6. Figure out the proper orientation of the lift. (Surface mounted units may simply be putinto place). Note: All dock lifts are built so that loads are transferred over the hinged(clevis) end of the platform when elevated to truck height and this is the end to whichthe hinged bridge is usually welded. Occasionally, the bridges are side mounted.Surface mounted units are equipped with approach ramps for transitioning on and offthe unit from the ground level. The ramps are usually much larger than the bridgeand located on the roller end of the platform and should never ever be used as abridge to the truck!7. For pit mounted units, place timbers diagonally across the corners of the pit and withshipping restraints still in place, but shipping blocks removed, place the lift on thetimbers. Then you may make temporary hose connections being careful not to overtighten and crack the hydraulic fittings. Finally, you may remove the timber supportsand lower the lift into the pit.9. You may now break the shipping restraints (banding). Use the lifts power unit toopen the lift a few feet and use your crane to raise the clevis end (hinged bridgeend) of the lift by hooking the bevel toe guard or use a plate grab attached to thehinged bridge. This will allow you to remove your chains or slings and the bandingmaterial from beneath the unit’s base frame. The tipping may not be necessary ifyou hooked your lift chains through the guardrail sockets of the platform and theshipping bands slide out from under the lift. DANGER! Do no allow anyone to getunder the unit!10. Carefully lower the unit insuring that the platform edges clear the sides of the pit.The heavy pry bar may be used to reposition the unit with even clearance from all pitwalls. Note the lowered height in relation to the surrounding pit edges for latershimming adjustments. Caution! The lift shall be installed so that no part of the liftplatform is more than ¼” above or below the surrounding surface.11. Once the lift is properly positioned, (whether it is pit mounted or surface mounted),you may begin the lag down procedure. T-Series models have special lag downinstructions located on page P 4-5.12.Raise the unit and position the maintenance leg or bar as shown in the maintenancesection of this manual (pages 6-3 through 6-6). Lower the unit onto the maintenanceleg and press the down button for an extra 10 seconds to relieve all hydraulicpressure. Drill the lag down holes and set the lag bolts. Check the unit for side toside level and then shim or grout the base frame for continuous support. Theshimming should enhance the match between the platform and the surroundingsurfaces when fully lowered, but not at the expense of side to side levelness. Aslight slope from clevis end to roller end is not a problem, but side to side slope willcause premature wear on all the moving parts of the lift. Tighten the lag bolts.P 4-3
SECTION 4: (CONTINUED) INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS13. If a temporary hydraulic connection was made to lower the unit into the pit, now isthe time to switch to your permanent hydraulic connection. Note: on T-Seriesmodels the hose must run under the base frame, see page P 4-5 for pit details.Also, if there are any electrical options such as limit switches or electrical toeguards, now is the time to do that wiring.14. Check that there are no tools or debris in the pit or beneath the unit, raise the unitand remove the maintenance leg, then fully lower the unit. On pit mounted units,check that the bridges are flush with their curb angles and that they do not pivotwhen loads roll over them, shim any movement accordingly.15. Operate the equipment through several cycles, holding the down button an extra 20seconds after the lift is fully lowered to bleed air from the cylinders. Check thereservoir fluid level with the unit fully lowered and top off the fluid to 1” from the topof the reservoir on 5-gallon reservoirs and 2.5” from the top of 10-gallon reservoirs.16. Adjust accessories such as limit switches and if the unit has electric toe guards orroller shades, fasten the hose in the pit so that it does not move and interfere withproper operation.17. Raise the unit one final time, install the maintenance leg, and thoroughly clean theentire area. Be sure all fluid spills are cleaned up so that they are not latermisinterpreted as new fluid leaks. Check all hydraulic fittings for leaks.18. Meet with the facility manager or maintenance foreman and turn over thismaintenance manual with the reminder that no one should be allowed to operatethe unit unless they are familiar with the operating instructions. Show them themaintenance leg and any other maintenance devices. Point out the metal nametagon the unit with the serial number and capacity ratings. Make it clear that somespecific person in their organization must be charged with responsibility for themaintenance of the unit and if they have no further questions, lower the unit andconsider your job complete.P 4-4
SECTION 4.1: Special instructions for T - Series OnlyGround Mounted Toe Guards (GMTG)1. T-Series lifts not installed in pits require additional toe guard protection not outlinedin the previous instructions. The toe guards are placed around the perimeter of theunit and are used to keep personnel a safe distance from the platform as the unitraises and lowers. All personnel shall stay to the outside of the toe guards when thelift is in operation.2. Place the toe guards 3” from the lift platform’s beveled toe guards as illustrated infigure 1 below. Insure all four corners line up and lag the guards to the concretethrough the holes provided using 3/8” concrete anchors as shown in figure 2.3. Units with 8’ platforms require eight (8) concrete anchors and ten (10) anchors areneeded for units over 8’ in length.4. One of the guards has ¾” drilled mounting holes in it as opposed to the normal ½”mounting holes.
