STEP 10
(Lift Start Up / Final Adjustments)
1. On PL-14000 models make sure the Power Unit reser-
voir is full with 6.5 gallons of 10-WT hydraulic oil or Dexron
automatic transmission fluid. For PL-18000 models use
11.5 gallons.
2. Spray the inside of the Sheave Pullbox Glide Channel
where the Sheave Pullbox glides with a light spray-oil.
3. Before proceeding, make sure all cables are properly
positioned within the grooves of ALL sheaves. Make sure all
Cable Sheave Pin Fasteners are secure.
4. Test the Power Unit by turning the key switch to “ON”
pressing the “RAISE” push button on the Control Panel. If
the motor sounds like it is operating properly, raise the lift
and check all hose connections for leaks. If the motor gets
hot or sounds peculiar, stop and check all electrical connec-
tions.
5. Check to make sure that all Cable Break Safety locks
are cleared and free. (See Fig. 10.1)
6. Continue pressing the “RAISE” button until the cables
are taut and the lift starts to move.
7. Raise lift until the cylinder is fully retracted and the
lift stops. Adjust each cable so that each corner of the
Top Ramp Weldment rests at the same height above the
ground. It may be necessary to tighten or loosen each
cable nut to reach the proper height. The cable nuts must
be tightened until there is at least 1” of threading protruding
from the top of the nut. (See Fig. 10.2)
