Weldment fasten a nylock nut and washer to the end of each
Lifting Rod. (See Fig 4.7)
9. Using a forklift, lift the Ramp Weldments and move them
so that the ends of the Ramp Weldments fit inside of the
posts. It may be helpful to set the ramps on wood blocks to
help unload the ramp from the forklift. (See Fig. 4.8)
STEP 5
(Power Side Post Installation)
1. Locate the Power Post, easily identified by the cylin-
der assembled in the post or the Sheave Pullbox mounted
inside of the post. Orient the Power Post so that the Sheave
Pullbox Glide Channel is easily accessible.
(See Fig. 5.1)
2. Inspect the ends of the Safety Spring inside the Sheave
Pullbox as shown. Make sure the spring ends are secure at
both ends. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RAISE THE LIFT UNTIL
THE SAFETY SPRING IS ATTACHED AND THE ROLLER IS
PULLED TOWARDS THE SAFETY BAR BY THE SPRING.
(See Fig 5.2)
3. Locate the Safety Cable Connector, spacer and bolt in
the parts bag. Assemble them through the top hole of the
safety bar as shown in Figure 5.3.
4. Position the Power Post so that the post is laying on
its side with the cylinder side facing to the rear of the instal-
lation area. It may be helpful to position this post relatively
close to its final position to ease installation later. (See Fig.
5.4)
5. Position the Front Post so that the post is laying on its
side with the Control Box facing the Approach Side. It may
be helpful to position this post relatively close to its final posi-
tion to ease installation later. (See Fig. 5.5)
