Limited One-Year Warranty:

Tuxedo Distributors, LLC (“Tuxedo”) offers a limited one-year warranty to the original purchaser of

Tuxedo lifts and Wheel Service in the United States and Canada. Tuxedo will replace, without charge, any

part found defective in materials or workmanship under normal use, for a period of one year after purchase.

The purchaser is responsible for all shipping charges. This warranty does not apply to equipment that has

been improperly installed or altered or that has not been operated or maintained according to specifications.

Other Limitations:

This warranty does not cover:

1. Parts needed for normal maintenance

2. Wear parts, including but not limited to cables, slider blocks, chains, rubber pads and pulleys

instructions will be sent for repairs thereafter.

4. On-site labor

Upon receipt, the customer must visually inspect the equipment for any potential freight damage before

signing clear on the shipping receipt. Freight damage is not considered a warranty issue and therefore must

be noted for any potential recovery with the shipping company.

The customer is required to notify Tuxedo of any missing parts within 72 hours. Timely notification must

be received to be covered under warranty.

Tuxedo will replace any defective part under warranty at no charge as soon as such parts become available

from the manufacturer. No guarantee is given as to the immediate availability of replacement parts.

Tuxedo reserves the right to make improvements and/or design changes to its lifts without any obligation

to previously sold, assembled or fabricated equipment.

There is no other express warranty on the Tuxedo lifts and this warranty is exclusive of and in lieu of all

other warranties, expressed or implied, including all warranties of merchantability and fitness for a

particular purpose.

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Tuxedo shall not be liable for loss of use, cost of cover, lost profits,

inconvenience, lost time, commercial loss or other incidental or consequential damages.

This Limited Warranty is granted to the original purchaser only and is not transferable or

assignable.

Some states do not allow exclusion or limitation of consequential damages or how long an

implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations and exclusions may not apply. This warranty

gives you specific legal rights and you may have other rights, which may vary from state to state.

Important!

Be sure to read the operating instructions before operating your lift!

Getting Ready

Make sure you have made all necessary measurements to assure that your lift

will fit in your shop / garage and accommodate the car you intend to lift with it.

Make sure you have enough clearance at the top, and enough width to allow

walking around. Make sure you know that the circuit requirements are 110 volt,

single phase, 20 amp.

Fig. 1

Make sure you have someone to help you. The pieces to this lift are big, heavy,

and cumbersome. The lift column weighs about 320 pounds by itself. Base plate

and arms all weigh a couple of hundred pounds 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 manhandle the pieces into place. As with any activities involving

big heavy materials, safety must be uppermost in your mind. This lift is more

difficult to install than some of our other units because of its one-post design, but

this very design makes it extremely effective for shop and residential garage use.

With proper preparation and installation, you will be very pleased with this lift.

Required Tools

1. Fork lift to unload lift on delivery

2. Fork lift and/or engine hoist for

moving pieces and positioning lift

column. You will also need a ten-foot

length of 3/8” chain

3. 1 and 5/16” wrench and socket with

ratchet

4. 1 and 1/8” socket and extension

5. ½” wrench

6. 11/16” wrench

7. Adjustable wrench

8. Small crowbar or large screwdriver

for aligning bolt holes

9. Pliers

10. Flat blade screwdriver

Installation

You will need common hand tools that most homeowners have, like a hammer,

screwdrivers and pliers, but in addition, you will need some tools that are not

common. Each installation is somewhat different, and depends on how much

room you have to work around the lift. Here is a chronological sequence of

installation steps, with the associated tools.

1 Unloading the lift

You’ll need a forklift that can handle about 2000 to 2300 pounds and operate on

a smooth surface.

2 Un-banding the lift

The steel bands which secure the lift parts to the pallets are heavy duty. You’ll

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.

3. Moving pieces

You can move the pieces to the garage with the forklift. Some of the smaller

pieces can be moved by two or more people carrying them. If you have several

people helping, some of the larger pieces can be moved manually.

8

STEP 1

The first step is to take off the board and bracket for shipping. Please take out

every piece. Put the base plate on the ground. (Fig. 3)

Fig. 3 Fig. 5

STEP 2

Upright the column and then fix it on the

base plate with bolts (Fig.4 & 5) Fig. 4

STEP3

Put the lifting frame in front of the base plate. Then fix the frame on the carriage

with bolts. (Fig. 6 & 7)

Fig. 6 Fig. 7 Fig. 8

STEP4

Mount the hydraulic motor pump on the column with bolts and nuts. (Fig. 8)

Connect the hose fitting and the hose from pump to cylinder. (Fig. 9—14)

There is an O-ring between the hose and the connector of the cylinder.( Fig. 12)

Fig. 9 Fig. 10 Fig.11

Fig.12 (O-ring ) Fig. 13 Fig. 14

STEP5

Take out the lock pin on the pallet jack (Fig. 15). Put the steel ball on the top of

the jack ram (Fig.16)

Fig. 15 Fig. 16

Insert the ram into the hole of the base plate (Fig. 17). Lock the ram by threaded

pin (Fig.18). Adjust the length of the ram (Fig. 19 & 20).

Fig. 17 Fig. 18 Fig.19

Fig. 20 Fig. 21 Fig. 22

Put the slot of the bearing into the bracket (Fig. 21) then lock it by bolt (Fig. 22 &

23). Then the base plate with pallet jack is ready

Fig. 23 Fig. 24 Fig. 25

STEP 6

Gather the right arm lock parts (Fig. 24). Assemble them in the frame end. (Fig.

25-28)

Fig. 26 Fig.27 Fig. 28

STEP 7

Assemble the right arms to the frame. (Fig 29—30)

STEP 8

Assemble the left arm locks and arms to the frame. (Fig 31—33)

Fig. 31 Fig. 32

Fig. 33

STEP 9

Now you need to get the correct connection for the cable from motor to power

supply. Your lift comes with a cord attached to the motor pump. Because it is

short, you may need a long extension cord. But because there are so many

receptacle variations, you will need to install the proper plug on the end of the

cord to fit the power port. If you are not sure which plug to use, consult your

electrician. Remove the rubber cap from the top of the reservoir. Fill the

reservoir with 32 AWS hydraulic oil to near the top.

Now the lift is ready for operation.

12

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The lift is very simple to operate. Push the power switch button on the motor

pump and hold while it turns the electric motor on. The motor operates an

internal pump that forces hydraulic oil into the lift piston, which extends the

roller chain and raises the lift. As the lift rises, an internal safety latch will pass

over the steel stops (rectangular blocks which protrude from the back, inside of

the lift column), and you will hear “clanks” as it does so. This sound is normal,

and indicates that the safety latch is passing over the stops properly. The lift is

raised to the desired height by holding the button in while it is rising, and

releasing the button when the lift has reached its desired position.

To be safe, it is required to release the hydraulic pressure inside the cylinder.

To do this, just press down on the release handle on the motor pump. Then the

lifting frame and carriage will sit on the safety lock inside the column.

To lower the lift, depress the power

switch button to raise the lift

approximately 2". Then pull the safety

lock release cable to open the safety

latch (Fig. 34). After that press down the

release handle and hold. The weight of

the vehicle will cause the lift to lower by

gravity. No power is required to apply to

the motor pump in lowering, but the

safety latch must be disengaged to allow

the lift to lower past the stops.

Fig. 34

After the installation is complete, raise the lift about two feet high and then

lower it down. Repeat this process two or three times, and then top off the

hydraulic oil reservoir again, if necessary. This assures that hydraulic oil is

distributed everywhere in the system that it needs to be.

NOTE: Only top off the reservoir with the lift in the “down” position. If you

fill the reservoir in the “up” position and then lower the lift, there will be too

much hydraulic oil in the system, and it will squirt out of the top of the

control unit.

13

RAISING A VEHICLE

Drive the vehicle onto the ramps until it is centered. Set the parking brake.

Adjust the arms under the support position of the vehicle frame. Depress the

“up” button to raise the vehicle a little. Check all the arms to make sure

everything is making proper contact. Then lift up the vehicle to desired height.

BE CAREFUL NOT TO RAISE THE VEHICLE SO HIGH THAT IT STRIKES

THE CEILING! MAKE SURE ANTENNAS ARE REMOVED, IF

NECESSARY, AND BE AWARE OF ANYTHING THAT PROTRUDES FROM

THE CEILING, LIKE LIGHTBULBS, GARAGE DOOR OPENERS OR DOOR

TRACKS.

MISCELLANEOUS

The hydraulic oil should be replaced every two years, and the inside corners of

the lift arms should be re-greased with a general-purpose axle grease every

year, or as needed.
