The electrical requirements on this Atlas lift were a little sketchy, I'll tell you the manual is terrible, written by those who speak a different native language. The manual states a 40A, 110v circuit. I thought that was odd. I checked with the retailer and they told me a 30A, 110v circuit. Unforetunately my garage only had a 15A 110v circuit currently so I would have to do a full upgrade, running a new circuit back to the panel.
So some 10/2 wire and a 30A breaker was the call since the retailer said that was what it needed, I thought 30A was overkill but didn't want to do a 20A and have it not work. When I first tested in the 15A circuit it worked fine, until I put a car on it and it tripped the beaker every time.
This lift also does not ship with a cord end so be prepared to wire up the end for the receptacle you need.
