7.10 Routing The Equalizer Cables
The equalizer cables should be checked weekly for equal
tension. Failure to do this will cause uneven lifting. The
cables should always be adjusted so that they are equal
tension when resting on the safety locks.
• Use appropriate lifting equipment to raise the
carriage to the fi rst latch position. Be sure the
carriage is engaged securely before attempting to
route the equalizer cables. Carriages must be equal
height from the fl oor before proceeding;
• With the carriages in equal height, fi t the cable
end-ups through the small holes of the carriages
(ref. fi g. 16);
• Route the equalizer cables referring to the diagram
(fi g. 17). Make sure the cables are on the pulleys.
Make sure the cables are routed properly;
• After the equalizer cables have been routed, adjust
the nuts M14 to make each cable in equal tension;
• Install the pulley cover (ref. fi g. 18) using a cross
recess head screw M6X10 on each column.
