Installing Hydraulic Power Unit
At 5:00 in
How to install an affordable automotive lift! Perfect man cave!
What happens here
The hydraulic motor and pump unit (weighing approximately 45-50 lbs) is mounted onto the bracket on the designated post. An adapter is screwed into the pump's block, and a hydraulic line is connected from the adapter, running through the base of the lift post to a banjo connector at the bottom. This connects the pump to the lift's internal hydraulic system. The presenter notes that the unit is not yet powered, as the shop electricity is not fully installed, but the electrical connection will require 220V. Hydraulic fluid will be added later once power is available.
Goal: The hydraulic motor and pump unit are mounted onto the designated lift post and connected via a hydraulic line.
