    Good afternoon, I have the lift columns turned and bolted down. The platform is flat when in one position. What happens is the entrance will settle but the front hangs up. Do you think it could be the cables not being the same length? I think I say you measure and reset the lengths? Thanks Dave

    when it sat flat on the floor we just tightened the cables till they were snug. everything worked fine.

    Just got this lift (different brand but clearly the same) and half way through installing. You've done a great job of highlighting all the things i was scratching my head over that the instructions dont really cover very well. . I made the error of putting the top caps on the wrong way the first time . Also, was confused about the extra little pulley!

    This is by far the best video describing in details the assembling of the hoist. Please inform, what is the make of the lift? Is it Atlas? It seams to be well designed.

    Raise empty lift enough for it to lock on the first lock. Use level and level using nuts on locking ladders. Lower lift. Put a car on lift, raise lift about two feet off the ground making sure not to allow it to lock but rather let it hang on the cables in the middle of two locks. Level the runways and cross bars again, only using the cable and nuts to do so. Done
